Katie: Howdy and welcome to the 700th episode of the Wellness Mama podcast. It’s arduous to consider 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 unimaginable individuals on this podcast and to share these conversations with you. And I assumed it could be becoming on this episode to speak via 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 somewhat extra faraway from the web world as I’ve gone via 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 wished to simply vulnerably share from that right now. And I additionally requested you guys on Instagram any questions you had, and people have been really those that got here up probably the most round life shifts, the latest 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 right now.
I’d say beginning broadly with a the place we’ve come from type of chapter. I really feel like the previous couple of years have been a journey to extra built-in well being. I, to start with, spoke way more solely concerning the bodily well being aspect as a result of that’s the place my power and intention have been going. And I do suppose that that aspect is important however I even have come to consider it’s extra nuanced than I assumed. Definitely extra individualized and customized and way more impacted by psychological and emotional well being than I used to suppose.
Like I stated, for years, that was the one piece I’ve actually targeted 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 inside 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 properly.
I really feel like I’ve personally modified considerably, even within the final 100 episodes. And like I stated, 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 couple of years has concerned a complete lot of letting go and of studying the best way to consciously domesticate peace. And it’s been lovely, actually 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 couple of months particularly that in some methods I’ve stored giant elements of myself out of Wellness Mama for years, partially for worry of judgment and likewise partially as a result of I frightened that some elements won’t be relatable or attention-grabbing 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 frightened that these wouldn’t be, like I stated, useful or relatable. And after I actually thought it via, I spotted 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 really actually excited to get to start out opening up extra to different elements of my life that I’ve beforehand been somewhat bit extra non-public 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 speak about extra matters and hopefully a extra holistic method of all that goes into motherhood and of being a lady.
Definitely the opposite matters aren’t going away both and neither is the content material. However I do hope this may carry some new and attention-grabbing course and company.
Now on a private degree. The largest life shift for me personally, in fact, has been the divorce. And like I stated, 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 try this. However secondly, I wished to verify earlier than I did that I may maintain my very own boundary about not ever saying something damaging about him publicly, which was a vow I made in the course of the course of, through which I deliberate to uphold. And I really do suppose that regardless of some robust patches, we have been really in a position to navigate it very respectfully and whereas staying largely actually type even towards one another and attempting to maintain the children and their transition in it in addition to the main target.
I really feel like for me personally, it was an incredible instance and apply of understanding that I really solely do have the flexibility to manage my very own ideas and actions and feelings, and that I may nonetheless select kindness towards the opposite one that was seemingly additionally hurting and experiencing his personal feelings round every little thing.
And for anybody else who’s navigated this life change or is perhaps 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 troublesome the method bought, 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 a minimum of management my aspect of that equation and likewise to by no means communicate negatively about him, particularly to our youngsters, however to anybody outdoors of remedy.
One piece of recommendation that we discovered useful that got here from a therapist was we every designated a small listing of protected those that we have been in a position to speak via our emotions about with them, which included therapists and shut mates, however we determined to not vent or communicate poorly about one another outdoors of that. And I really feel like that was useful to us personally and likewise to our youngsters, as a result of I do suppose it may very well be hurtful for them to listen to damaging issues about both of their mother and father. And I solely know my aspect of that, however it 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 difficult logistical and authorized course of with out opposing legal professionals or courtroom dates or preventing. The truth is, we pre-negotiated and even pre-organized all of the property in a method that appeared honest and sort to each of us. And we have been in a position to simply have a decide log off on every little thing. And it looks like that is maybe uncommon, not the best way it usually goes. And it’s one thing I would 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 somewhat bit extra in depth about the best way we went via the method, as a result of I do suppose 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 stated, that’s one thing I would share extra of sooner or later. I do know it gained’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 right now’s world.
And for me now, that additionally implies that I’ve transitioned to life as a single dad or mum and all that goes with that. He now lives in one other state and he comes again to see the children about as soon as a month, however I’m largely accountable for basically the entire child logistics and care in the course of the month for more often than not. And it’s really solely been a fairly small adjustment, particularly with older youngsters who can drive now. And I’ve tried to simply preserve the give attention to 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 unimaginable how fleeting they’re. And my oldest now turning 17. It’s actually, it’s wild to suppose that I solely have a 12 months left with him as a toddler.
And on a strictly private degree, solely as a result of I bought just a few questions on this on Instagram, I’m positively not targeted on coming into the courting scene, I believe is the way it was worded on there. And I actually 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 bought married very younger. I had six youngsters fairly rapidly all by the point I used to be 28. So I’m really simply actually having fun with with the ability to sleep alone, having a tiny little bit of solitude and leaning into peace and simply being current as a lot as attainable that may occur in a busy home with six youngsters.
And I additionally bought loads of questions on that be aware concerning the youngsters and the way they’re doing and the best way to assist youngsters navigate arduous modifications that may be painful and really feel out of their management. And this was, in fact, one of many predominant concerns throughout this course of as properly, I believe, for each of us. And whereas I actually don’t suppose a change like this comes with out some degree of adjustment for everybody concerned, I do suppose that we have been each in a position to put our personal egos apart and be capable to assist the children navigate it fairly properly, too.
The massive piece of recommendation I’d return to right here is admittedly simply holding agency to that boundary of not talking or performing negatively towards or about one another. This was a chunk of recommendation that we each bought in remedy very instantly. And we have been even informed in no unsure phrases that when one dad or mum speaks negatively concerning the different to the youngsters, it’s not solely painful for them, however it’s really a type of youngster abuse. And so we each labored and did loads of work internally to verify 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 an alternative may very well be there for them and present up as a protected and non-judgmental house as they course of their feelings as properly.
And positively 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 necessary individuals in my life, like my mother and father or the faith I used to be raised in. I confronted disappointment, which was a giant childhood set off for me. That was type of my worst-case situation was ever disappointing anybody. And in addition guilt as a result of I spotted that working via my previous trauma, I spotted that I used to be positively an element that led to shifts in me that contributed to the wedding ending. I additionally had anger and frustration and lots of different feelings at completely different instances that I started working via and hopefully launch and that appear way more peaceable now. And I hope the identical for him. We now have been in a position to keep amicable and have common conversations concerning the youngsters and each present up for them. And I’m extraordinarily grateful to have a co-parent who was keen to place apart the anger and the massive emotions and to work collectively for the children, even now as co-parents. So I do know that not each situation that is ready to occur, however actually I’m grateful that we have been each ready to try this on this time.
On the co-parenting aspect, we do nonetheless verify in with one another and have conversations concerning the youngsters. And the very best recommendation I can provide right here is goes again to maintain that focus of by no means making enemies of one another, utilizing type phrases and preserving the children’ wants as a spotlight. We did map out a fairly 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, keep the concept we’d slightly put our personal delight apart and make choices which are greatest for the children slightly than get the courtroom system concerned. And I do know that does require each individuals being keen to try this, and I’m tremendous grateful that we have been in a position to.
And I’m additionally, as I stated, keen to open up much more about these matters. So please let me know within the feedback or on Instagram if this can be a subject you want to hear extra about sooner or later, or I’d love to listen to really your ideas and recommendation in the event you’ve navigated one thing related as properly.
I’m nonetheless, I really feel like in some methods, as cliche because it sounds, attempting to determine who I’m on this part of life and who I’m going ahead. However aye. Have been journaling loads. And I’m, like I stated, I’m nonetheless attempting to pinpoint it, however I had a stream of consciousness journal that appeared to love contact on a minimum of 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 inside fireplace period, my candy and savory period, my generally salty period, my ingesting espresso in mattress period, my would possibly get a pet tiger period, my home crops in every single 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 really love and never care what different individuals suppose period. My inventive period, my studying issues that talk to my soul period, my journey period, my run via the forest barefoot period. My ravenous period, my wild period, my untamed period, my fierce period, my rebellious period, my mild 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 properly. And on the Wellness Mama aspect. I had a few of these tied into my private ones. And as I stated, I spotted I used to be solely exhibiting floor degree 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. The truth is, I just lately additionally journaled and wrote an obituary for the particular person Wellness Mama was up to now and I used to be absolutely ready to let it go. And as soon as I had, I spotted that maybe this can be a caterpillar demise 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 stated, speaking extra overtly about matters that I’ve talked about. Getting again to nurturing the guts of neighborhood and connection prefer it was within the earlier days. And I wished to share simply as a private be aware, the obituary I wrote as I’m sharing my journey via 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 spotted simply as motherhood is a place of origin and demise, we lose who we have been earlier than motherhood. It appears like maybe a rebirth into a brand new period for Wellness Mama as properly. 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 ultimate bow with a bittersweet mix of gratitude, tears, and a sigh of aid.

And so that is one really that I modified from a model I wrote to a good friend who I hadn’t seen in a very long time or talked to shortly and within the effort of attempting to be extra all the best way myself on-line.

This podcast is dropped at you by Wellnesse. And this can be a firm that I bought 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 properly over a decade. Once I found I had some cavities and began studying concerning the means of remineralization and the way our tooth have the flexibility to remain stronger and more healthy, depending on loads of elements, together with our diet, our oral microbiome, and the surroundings of our mouth. And that is why we use one thing referred to as hydroxyapatite, which is a naturally occurring mineral that’s used within the enamel of our tooth. And there’s some fascinating research that present that that is actually efficient at serving to preserve tooth robust 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 actually a lot safer for youngsters as properly.
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 are linked to issues like gingivitis. Each of these may be combated by having a very wholesome oral microbiome.
So we’ve just lately launched probiotic mints which have 4 probiotic strains that assist improve the oral microbiome and by selecting microbiome protected elements, in addition to hydroxyapatite for tooth enamel within the toothpaste. So you’ll be able to try these in addition to our full line of haircare merchandise and different oral well being merchandise as properly 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 return and what it would appear like.
And I additionally, like I stated, it’s not about bodily well being to me anymore, however there have been some recurring themes of the final 100 episodes that I wished to simply briefly spotlight earlier than I finish this podcast. So these can be kind of my prime takeaways that have been recurring in variety of the previous 100 episodes. Definitely, the widespread 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 lots of podcasts on these matters. However getting morning daylight particularly is one which I like to recommend actually because I believe that is really good for physique, thoughts and soul to get outdoors as quickly as attainable after waking up, even on a cloudy day, even for simply 5 minutes and get pure mild in our eyes, not via a window. And the science says this really does assist our circadian rhythm and enhance sleep and melatonin manufacturing as properly. It’s additionally very useful for teenagers in case your youngsters have hassle sleeping. And it’s fully free. So it’s one which I and lots of company have really helpful.
One other theme you guys are most likely uninterested in me saying by now’s that we’re every our personal major healthcare supplier. And I’d just lately add Healer to the listing. And that whereas we will work with wonderful medical doctors and practitioners, and I hope that we do once 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 every little thing we’d like. And type of puzzle piece along with that. Is the concept I’ve talked loads about, about our physique is all the time on our aspect. Dr. Cassie Huckaby talked about this as properly 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 incredible reminder that our physique is all the time on our aspect. It’s all the time attempting to heal. It’s all the time attempting to stay its greatest life. And that if it wished to kill us, it may do it in lower than a second. It will be instantaneous. And it’s not, it’s all the time attempting to be on our aspect. And so we will work with it to search out the issues that it wants that it doesn’t have, or to take away the issues which are preserving it from with the ability to heal.
After all, in that there’s the theme of addressing stress, which is a transferring goal in right now’s world actually, and one which I’ve skilled fairly acutely the final couple of years, however a really invaluable and worthwhile pursuit as properly. There’s been a number of speak 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 ladies that we’d like extra protein than many people are getting. We want extra vitamins than many people are getting. And in right now’s world, it’s very simple to get a food regimen that’s doubtlessly sufficient energy, however not sufficient vitamins, which sends stress indicators to our physique and might make it troublesome to steadiness hormones or to succeed in a wholesome weight or to sleep properly. And this can be a transferring goal for me as properly. I’m untraining years of not consuming sufficient and studying the best way to correctly gas my physique and take heed to what it desires.
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 stated, whereas I ignored these solely for many years, I’ve now come to see them as a minimum of equal or doubtlessly extra necessary 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 lots of extra coming sooner or later as properly. I’ve additionally talked loads about minerals and had many company speak about these as properly. I take advantage of ones like Eidon and upgraded formulation and LMNT, however I do suppose that many people may gain advantage 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 loads, whether or not it’s within the sauna, whether or not it’s athletics, whether or not it’s dwelling in a sizzling local weather. I learn the statistic you can lose extra minerals in 5 years in these eventualities than the typical particular person can in a lifetime. So I’ve seen firsthand how way more power can come once we get the mineral equation proper, and it’s one I usually encourage now.
After which ending with the concept our physique is all the time on our aspect and is all the time there to be our good friend.
