Katie: Whats up and welcome to the 700th episode of the Wellness Mama podcast. It’s laborious to imagine that it has been 700 episodes since I started in 2014. And I’m so honored that I’ve gotten to talk to so many unbelievable individuals on this podcast and to share these conversations with you. And I assumed it could be becoming on this episode to speak by means of very briefly some life classes, some new instructions and shifts, and a few issues of letting go which have occurred for me within the final couple of years.
I do know I’ve been a little bit extra faraway from the web world as I’ve gone by means of some private transitions. And that’s additionally led to some potential transitions in how I present up as Wellness Mama on-line. And so I needed to simply vulnerably share from that in the present day. And I additionally requested you guys on Instagram any questions you had, and people have been truly those that got here up probably the most round life shifts, the current divorce that’s occurred in my life, how co-parenting goes, loads of issues associated to that. Additionally how or if that may have an effect on Wellness Mama. So that’s my focus on this solo episode in the present day.
I’d say beginning broadly with a the place we’ve come from sort of chapter. I really feel like the previous few years have been a journey to extra built-in well being. I, to start with, spoke way more solely in regards to the bodily well being aspect as a result of that’s the place my vitality and intention have been going. And I do assume that that aspect is important however I even have come to imagine it’s extra nuanced than I assumed. Actually extra individualized and customized and way more impacted by psychological and emotional well being than I used to assume.
Like I mentioned, for years, that was the one piece I’ve actually centered on. And as I’ve shared some in different episodes, nothing even in bodily well being shifted considerably for me till I additionally addressed the interior aspect, the psychological and emotional elements and actually labored on letting go and resolving these after which noticed these shifts manifest in my bodily life as effectively.
I really feel like I’ve personally modified considerably, even within the final 100 episodes. And like I mentioned, I’ve taken some private time to undergo these large changes in my life and to simply be current with my youngsters. And my private lesson and theme for the previous few years has concerned an entire lot of letting go and of studying how you can consciously domesticate peace. And it’s been lovely, definitely generally difficult, and it’s nonetheless a journey in progress. However I’m excited to have the ability to share extra of it with you, together with right here on the podcast and on wellnessmama.com, as a result of I’ve realized in the previous few months particularly that in some methods I’ve saved giant elements of myself out of Wellness Mama for years, partially for worry of judgment and likewise partially as a result of I nervous that some elements won’t be relatable or fascinating to different individuals.
So particularly, I haven’t talked actually a lot publicly about my divorce and the massive and investing that I’ve been doing for over a decade and actually having fun with as a result of I nervous that these wouldn’t be, like I mentioned, useful or relatable. And after I actually thought it by means of, I noticed that most individuals will undergo some kind of large life or relationship transition of their lives and that almost all ladies I do know are literally concerned in finance or enterprise or have some kind of enterprise or hustle that they do on their very own. And so I’m truly actually excited to get to begin opening up extra to different elements of my life that I’ve beforehand been a little bit bit extra personal about. That doesn’t imply I’ll most likely share particulars of my youngsters’ lives on-line as a result of I nonetheless really feel these are theirs to share. However I’m excited to open up and discuss extra subjects and hopefully a extra holistic strategy of all that goes into motherhood and of being a girl.
Actually the opposite subjects will not be going away both and neither is the content material. However I do hope this can carry some new and fascinating course and company.
Now on a private stage. The largest life shift for me personally, after all, has been the divorce. And like I mentioned, I’ve shied away from speaking about this publicly for 2 causes. First, that it felt like a failure and I had some large feelings round that. And it was robust to face personally with out public opinion for some time. And so I took a while to do this. However secondly, I needed to ensure earlier than I did that I may maintain my very own boundary about not ever saying something detrimental about him publicly, which was a vow I made throughout the course of, wherein I deliberate to uphold. And I truly do assume that regardless of some robust patches, we have been truly in a position to navigate it very respectfully and whereas staying principally actually type even towards one another and making an attempt to maintain the youngsters and their transition in it in addition to the main focus.
I really feel like for me personally, it was an excellent instance and apply of understanding that I actually solely do have the power to regulate my very own ideas and actions and feelings, and that I may nonetheless select kindness towards the opposite one who was possible additionally hurting and experiencing his personal feelings round the whole lot.
And for anybody else who’s navigated this life change or may be navigating it now, two issues I discovered particularly useful have been vowing to by no means let him make an enemy out of me. Regardless of how tough the method obtained, I used to be very agency in not letting it ever escalate and never letting him make an enemy out of me as a result of I may not less than management my aspect of that equation and likewise to by no means converse negatively about him, particularly to our youngsters, however to anybody exterior of remedy.
One piece of recommendation that we discovered useful that got here from a therapist was we every designated a small listing of secure those who we have been in a position to discuss by means of our emotions about with them, which included therapists and shut mates, however we determined to not vent or converse poorly about one another exterior of that. And I really feel like that was useful to us personally and likewise to our youngsters, as a result of I do assume it may very well be hurtful for them to listen to detrimental issues about both of their mother and father. And I solely know my aspect of that, but it surely appeared to assist my feelings to have these boundaries and to decide on kindness even after I was actually pissed off.
We additionally managed to navigate a comparatively sophisticated logistical and authorized course of with out opposing legal professionals or courtroom dates or combating. In actual fact, we pre-negotiated and even pre-organized all of the belongings in a method that appeared truthful and type to each of us. And we have been in a position to simply have a choose log out on the whole lot. And it looks as if that is maybe uncommon, not the way in which it usually goes. And it’s one thing I’d share extra about sooner or later if anybody’s .
I learn the guide, Acutely aware Uncoupling, and I discovered that recommendation useful, however I additionally would possibly find yourself releasing a guide sooner or later that’s a little bit bit extra in depth about the way in which we went by means of the method, as a result of I do assume we discovered some distinctive methods to navigate it that appeared to restrict the emotional and monetary turmoil that may usually accompany an uncoupling. So like I mentioned, that’s one thing I’d share extra of sooner or later. I do know it received’t apply to everybody, however I additionally know from all of the individuals who confirmed as much as help me that it does apply to lots of people in in the present day’s world.
And for me now, that additionally implies that I’ve transitioned to life as a single guardian and all that goes with that. He now lives in one other state and he comes again to see the youngsters about as soon as a month, however I’m largely answerable for primarily the entire child logistics and care throughout the month for more often than not. And it’s truly solely been a reasonably small adjustment, particularly with older youngsters who can drive now. And I’ve tried to simply maintain the concentrate on being current with them. I reread the guide, Be Right here Now, and I attempt to use that as a kind of motto of types for myself, is simply be right here now and benefit from the moments as a result of it’s unbelievable how fleeting they’re. And my oldest now turning 17. It’s actually, it’s wild to assume that I solely have a 12 months left with him as a baby.
And on a strictly private stage, solely as a result of I obtained a couple of questions on this on Instagram, I’m undoubtedly not centered on getting into the courting scene, I believe is the way it was worded on there. And I definitely acknowledge that preferences can shift in main methods, however I don’t at the moment see myself ever desirous to get married once more. I obtained married very younger. I had six youngsters fairly rapidly all by the point I used to be 28. So I’m truly simply actually having fun with having the ability to sleep alone, having a tiny little bit of solitude and leaning into peace and simply being current as a lot as potential that may occur in a busy home with six youngsters.
And I additionally obtained loads of questions on that observe in regards to the youngsters and the way they’re doing and how you can assist youngsters navigate laborious adjustments that may be painful and really feel out of their management. And this was, after all, one of many foremost concerns throughout this course of as effectively, I believe, for each of us. And whereas I definitely don’t assume a change like this comes with out some stage of adjustment for everybody concerned, I do assume that we have been each in a position to put our personal egos apart and be capable to assist the youngsters navigate it fairly effectively, too.
The massive piece of recommendation I’d return to right here is basically simply holding agency to that boundary of not talking or appearing negatively towards or about one another. This was a chunk of recommendation that we each obtained in remedy very immediately. And we have been even instructed in no unsure phrases that when one guardian speaks negatively in regards to the different to the youngsters, it’s not solely painful for them, but it surely’s truly a type of little one abuse. And so we each labored and did loads of work internally to ensure we had our personal emotional help constructions and other people in place in order that we weren’t counting on our youngsters for emotional help and as a substitute may very well be there for them and present up as a secure and non-judgmental area as they course of their feelings as effectively.
And definitely there have been feelings to course of on all fronts. For me, among the feelings I felt and processed throughout that have been issues like my disgrace about it being a failure and being in opposition to the opinion of vital individuals in my life, like my mother and father or the faith I used to be raised in. I confronted disappointment, which was an enormous childhood set off for me. That was sort of my worst-case state of affairs was ever disappointing anybody. And in addition guilt as a result of I noticed that working by means of my previous trauma, I noticed that I used to be undoubtedly an element that led to shifts in me that contributed to the wedding ending. I additionally had anger and frustration and plenty of different feelings at completely different occasions that I set to work by means of and hopefully launch and that appear way more peaceable now. And I hope the identical for him. We’ve been in a position to keep amicable and have common conversations in regards to the youngsters and each present up for them. And I’m extraordinarily grateful to have a co-parent who was prepared to place apart the anger and the massive emotions and to work collectively for the youngsters, even now as co-parents. So I do know that not each state of affairs that is ready to occur, however definitely I’m grateful that we have been each ready to do this on this time.
On the co-parenting aspect, we do nonetheless examine in with one another and have conversations in regards to the youngsters. And one of the best recommendation I may give right here is goes again to maintain that focus of by no means making enemies of one another, utilizing type phrases and holding the youngsters’ wants as a spotlight. We did map out a reasonably complete co-parenting plan collectively, and fortunately we’re nonetheless aligned on most kid-related issues. And when disagreements do come up, which is fairly uncommon, we’ve been in a position to have conversations and work out an answer. And we each, I believe, preserve the concept that we’d moderately put our personal delight apart and make choices which might be greatest for the youngsters moderately than get the courtroom system concerned. And I do know that does require each individuals being prepared to do this, and I’m tremendous grateful that we have been in a position to.
And I’m additionally, as I mentioned, prepared to open up much more about these subjects. So please let me know within the feedback or on Instagram if it is a subject you wish to hear extra about sooner or later, or I’d love to listen to truly your ideas and recommendation in the event you’ve navigated one thing comparable as effectively.
I’m nonetheless, I really feel like in some methods, as cliche because it sounds, making an attempt to determine who I’m on this section of life and who I’m going ahead. However aye. Have been journaling lots. And I’m, like I mentioned, I’m nonetheless making an attempt to pinpoint it, however I had a stream of consciousness journal that appeared to love contact on not less than among the locations I’m proper now.
And I wrote this the opposite day that I’m in my peace period, my unashamed period, my interior hearth period, my candy and savory period, my generally salty period, my consuming espresso in mattress period, my would possibly get a pet tiger period, my home crops all over the place period, my blankets and pillows period, my harem pants period, my unbrushed hair and salty pores and skin period. My put on garments I truly love and never care what different individuals assume period. My inventive period, my studying issues that talk to my soul period, my journey period, my run by means of the forest barefoot period. My ravenous period, my wild period, my untamed period, my fierce period, my rebellious period, my light and nurturing period, my lioness period, my embracing the female period.
And as you may think, that many private life shifts additionally led to some enterprise shifts as effectively. And on the Wellness Mama aspect. I had a few of these tied into my private ones. And as I mentioned, I noticed I used to be solely displaying floor stage elements of myself as Wellness Mama and it began to really feel inauthentic. And I misplaced among the ardour I had within the early days. In actual fact, I not too long ago additionally journaled and wrote an obituary for the individual Wellness Mama was prior to now and I used to be totally ready to let it go. And as soon as I had, I noticed that maybe it is a caterpillar dying of types, and that the brand new model rising is one which I’m enthusiastic about once more. I believe that is going to contain, like I mentioned, speaking extra brazenly about subjects that I’ve talked about. Getting again to nurturing the guts of neighborhood and connection prefer it was within the earlier days. And I needed to share simply as a private observe, the obituary I wrote as I’m sharing my journey by means of this to make clear no precise people died within the making of this obituary. Simply my on-line persona, Wellness Mama is just not going away. It’s simply shifting into hopefully a extra dynamic and genuine place. And I noticed simply as motherhood is a native land and dying, we lose who we have been earlier than motherhood. It appears like maybe a rebirth into a brand new period for Wellness Mama as effectively. And I’m excited for that. However what I wrote within the midst of the massive shifts within the turmoil was.
In loving reminiscence of Wellness Mama…… Wellness Mama, the enigmatic mom of six, whose youngsters’ names nonetheless stay undisclosed on the web, the mastermind behind wellnessmama.com, and the voice behind the Wellness Mama podcast has gracefully taken her last bow with a bittersweet mix of gratitude, tears, and a sigh of aid.

This podcast is dropped at you by Wellnesse. And it is a firm that I obtained to assist co-found and formulate the merchandise for and one which I care deeply about. Oral well being has been a enjoyable analysis subject for me for effectively over a decade. Once I found I had some cavities and began studying in regards to the strategy of remineralization and the way our enamel have the power to remain stronger and more healthy, depending on loads of elements, together with our diet, our oral microbiome, and the atmosphere of our mouth. And this is the reason we use one thing referred to as hydroxyapatite, which is a naturally occurring mineral that’s used within the enamel of our enamel. And there’s some fascinating research that present that that is actually efficient at serving to maintain enamel sturdy and wholesome. And that is additionally why I selected to not use fluoride in my merchandise. Hydroxyapatite has most of the identical upsides with out the potential downsides that include fluoride and is definitely a lot safer for youngsters as effectively.
I actually delved into the analysis across the oral microbiome. And I like that that is now an rising space of dialog and analysis. However when our oral microbiome is robust, that helps us keep away from each ends of the spectrum. One can be issues like strep mutans, which is the micro organism linked to cavities, in addition to the host of micro organism which might be linked to issues like gingivitis. Each of these could be combated by having a extremely wholesome oral microbiome.
So we’ve not too long ago launched probiotic mints which have 4 probiotic strains that assist improve the oral microbiome and by selecting microbiome secure substances, in addition to hydroxyapatite for tooth enamel within the toothpaste. So you may take a look at these in addition to our full line of haircare merchandise and different oral well being merchandise as effectively by going to wellnesse.com.
So all that to say. I’m excited for the brand new instructions. I’m extremely grateful to these of you who’ve been with me on this journey for therefore a few years and for the years to come back and what it can seem like.
And I additionally, like I mentioned, it’s not about bodily well being to me anymore, however there have been some recurring themes of the final 100 episodes that I needed to simply briefly spotlight earlier than I finish this podcast. So these can be kind of my prime takeaways that have been recurring in a great variety of the previous 100 episodes. Actually, the frequent thread right here is that the easy and free issues are sometimes probably the most impactful however usually missed as a result of they’re so easy. Recurring themes are issues just like the significance of sleep and of getting morning daylight. And there’s loads of element and nuance that goes inside these and plenty of podcasts on these subjects. However getting morning daylight particularly is one which I like to recommend actually because I believe that is truly good for physique, thoughts and soul to get exterior as quickly as potential after waking up, even on a cloudy day, even for simply 5 minutes and get pure gentle in our eyes, not by means of a window. And the science says this truly does assist our circadian rhythm and enhance sleep and melatonin manufacturing as effectively. It’s additionally very useful for youths in case your youngsters have hassle sleeping. And it’s fully free. So it’s one which I and plenty of company have really helpful.
One other theme you guys are most likely uninterested in me saying by now could be that we’re every our personal major healthcare supplier. And I’d not too long ago add Healer to the listing. And that whereas we are able to work with superb medical doctors and practitioners, and I hope that we do after we want them, that on the finish of the day, the accountability all the time lies inside us. However the magnificence is that we have already got inside us the whole lot we’d like. And sort of puzzle piece along with that. Is the thought I’ve talked lots about, about our physique is all the time on our aspect. Dr. Cassie Huckaby talked about this as effectively in her episode. I believe particularly for these of us who’ve skilled autoimmune illness, it’s simple to really feel like our physique is out to get us. And he or she had an excellent reminder that our physique is all the time on our aspect. It’s all the time making an attempt to heal. It’s all the time making an attempt to dwell its greatest life. And that if it needed to kill us, it may do it in lower than a second. It could be on the spot. And it’s not, it’s all the time making an attempt to be on our aspect. And so we are able to work with it to seek out the issues that it wants that it doesn’t have, or to take away the issues which might be holding it from having the ability to heal.
After all, in that there’s the theme of addressing stress, which is a shifting goal in in the present day’s world definitely, and one which I’ve skilled fairly acutely the final couple of years, however a really beneficial and worthwhile pursuit as effectively. There’s been a lot of discuss within the final 100 episodes of the significance of protein particularly, however in adequately fueling our our bodies with sufficient diet. And statistically, that is particularly an element for girls that we’d like extra protein than many people are getting. We want extra vitamins than many people are getting. And in in the present day’s world, it’s very simple to get a food plan that’s doubtlessly sufficient energy, however not sufficient vitamins, which sends stress alerts to our physique and might make it tough to stability hormones or to achieve a wholesome weight or to sleep effectively. And it is a shifting goal for me as effectively. I’m untraining years of not consuming sufficient and studying how you can correctly gasoline my physique and hearken to what it needs.
In parallel with my very own journey, there’s been a recurring theme of the significance of addressing the psychological and emotional elements of well being. And like I mentioned, whereas I ignored these completely for many years, I’ve now come to see them as not less than equal or doubtlessly extra vital elements of the general well being equation as a result of they tie in so on to bodily well being. And I’ve many episodes on this already and plenty of extra coming sooner or later as effectively. I’ve additionally talked lots about minerals and had many company discuss these as effectively. I take advantage of ones like Eidon and upgraded formulation and LMNT, however I do assume that many people may benefit from much more minerals than we’re getting as a result of our our bodies are literally not 60% water, however 60% saltwater. And loads of us are merely not getting sufficient minerals to adequately replenish. That is very true in the event you sweat lots, whether or not or not it’s within the sauna, whether or not or not it’s athletics, whether or not or not it’s dwelling in a scorching local weather. I learn the statistic which you can lose extra minerals in 5 years in these eventualities than the typical individual can in a lifetime. So I’ve seen firsthand how way more vitality can come after we get the mineral equation proper, and it’s one I usually encourage now.
After which ending with the concept that our physique is all the time on our aspect and is all the time there to be our pal. This was a tough realized lesson for me and one which I’m glad has come up in so many podcast episodes.
