Katie: Hi there 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 might 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 net 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 only vulnerably share from that in the present day. And I additionally requested you guys on Instagram any questions you had, and people had been really those that got here up essentially the most round life shifts, the current divorce that’s occurred in my life, how co-parenting goes, a whole lot 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 couple of years have been a journey to extra built-in well being. I, at first, spoke way more solely in regards to the bodily well being facet as a result of that’s the place my power and intention had been going. And I do suppose that that facet is important however I even have come to consider 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 suppose.
Like I mentioned, 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 interior facet, the psychological and emotional facets 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 mentioned, I’ve taken some private time to undergo these massive changes in my life and to only be current with my youngsters. And my private lesson and theme for the previous couple of years has concerned an entire lot of letting go and of studying how one can consciously domesticate peace. And it’s been stunning, 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 couple of months particularly that in some methods I’ve saved giant components of myself out of Wellness Mama for years, partially for worry of judgment and in addition partially as a result of I apprehensive that some components may not be relatable or attention-grabbing to different individuals.
So particularly, I haven’t talked actually a lot publicly about my divorce and the large and investing that I’ve been doing for over a decade and actually having fun with as a result of I apprehensive that these wouldn’t be, like I mentioned, useful or relatable. And after I actually thought it via, I noticed that most individuals will undergo some kind of massive life or relationship transition of their lives and that the majority 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 facets of my life that I’ve beforehand been somewhat bit extra non-public about. That doesn’t imply I’ll in all probability 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 strategy of all that goes into motherhood and of being a lady.
Actually the opposite matters aren’t going away both and neither is the content material. However I do hope it will deliver some new and attention-grabbing path and company.
Now on a private degree. The most important 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 massive 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 wished to verify earlier than I did that I may maintain my very own boundary about not ever saying something adverse about him publicly, which was a vow I made through the course of, during which I deliberate to uphold. And I really do suppose that regardless of some robust patches, we had been really in a position to navigate it very respectfully and whereas staying principally actually sort even towards one another and making an attempt 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 ideal instance and observe of understanding that I actually 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 who was doubtless additionally hurting and experiencing his personal feelings round all the pieces.
And for anybody else who’s navigated this life change or may be navigating it now, two issues I discovered particularly useful had been vowing to by no means let him make an enemy out of me. Irrespective 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 at the very least management my facet of that equation and in addition to by no means communicate negatively about him, particularly to our children, 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 checklist of protected folks that we had been in a position to discuss via our emotions about with them, which included therapists and shut mates, however we determined to not vent or communicate poorly about one another exterior of that. And I really feel like that was useful to us personally and in addition to our children, as a result of I do suppose it might be hurtful for them to listen to adverse issues about both of their mother and father. And I solely know my facet of that, however it appeared to assist my feelings to have these boundaries and to decide on kindness even after I was actually annoyed.
We additionally managed to navigate a comparatively difficult logistical and authorized course of with out opposing attorneys or court docket dates or preventing. In actual fact, we pre-negotiated and even pre-organized all of the property in a method that appeared truthful and sort to each of us. And we had been in a position to simply have a choose log off on all the pieces. And it looks as if that is maybe uncommon, not the best way it usually goes. And it’s one thing I’d share extra about sooner or later if anybody’s .
I learn the e book, Aware Uncoupling, and I discovered that recommendation useful, however I additionally may find yourself releasing a e book 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 mentioned, that’s one thing I’d 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 assist 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 father or mother 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 liable for primarily all the child logistics and care through the month for more often than not. And it’s really solely been a reasonably small adjustment, particularly with older youngsters who can drive now. And I’ve tried to only hold the deal with being current with them. I reread the e book, Be Right here Now, and I attempt to use that as a kind of motto of kinds 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 yr left with him as a baby.
And on a strictly private degree, solely as a result of I bought a couple of 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 definitely acknowledge that preferences can shift in main methods, however I don’t presently 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 a whole lot of questions on that be aware in regards to the youngsters and the way they’re doing and how one can assist youngsters navigate arduous adjustments that may be painful and really feel out of their management. And this was, after all, one of many essential issues throughout this course of as properly, I believe, for each of us. And whereas I definitely don’t suppose a change like this comes with out some degree of adjustment for everybody concerned, I do suppose that we had 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 appearing negatively towards or about one another. This was a chunk of recommendation that we each bought in remedy very straight. And we had been even advised in no unsure phrases that when one father or mother speaks negatively in regards to the different to the kids, it’s not solely painful for them, however it’s really a type of little one abuse. And so we each labored and did a whole lot of work internally to verify we had our personal emotional assist buildings and folks in place in order that we weren’t counting on our children for emotional assist and as a substitute might be there for them and present up as a protected and non-judgmental area as they course of their feelings as properly.
And definitely there have been feelings to course of on all fronts. For me, a number of the feelings I felt and processed throughout that had 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 likewise guilt as a result of I noticed that working via my previous trauma, I noticed 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 occasions 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 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 large emotions and to work collectively for the children, 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 had been each ready to do this on this time.
On the co-parenting facet, 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 sort phrases and maintaining the children’ 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, keep the concept we’d slightly put our personal pleasure apart and make choices which can be greatest for the children slightly than get the court docket system concerned. And I do know that does require each individuals being prepared to do this, and I’m tremendous grateful that we had been in a position to.
And I’m additionally, as I mentioned, prepared to open up much more about these matters. So please let me know within the feedback or on Instagram if this can be a matter you wish 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, 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 at the very least a number of 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 fireplace period, my candy and savory period, my generally salty period, my ingesting espresso in mattress period, my may 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 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 properly. And on the Wellness Mama facet. I had a few of these tied into my private ones. And as I mentioned, I noticed I used to be solely displaying floor degree components of myself as Wellness Mama and it began to really feel inauthentic. And I misplaced a number of the ardour I had within the early days. In actual fact, I lately additionally journaled and wrote an obituary for the particular person Wellness Mama was prior to now and I used to be absolutely ready to let it go. And as soon as I had, I noticed that maybe this can be a caterpillar dying of kinds, 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 overtly about matters that I’ve talked about. Getting again to nurturing the center of group 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 shouldn’t be going away. It’s simply shifting into hopefully a extra dynamic and genuine place. And I noticed simply as motherhood is a place of origin and dying, we lose who we had been earlier than motherhood. It seems 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 large 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 closing bow with a bittersweet mix of gratitude, tears, and a sigh of aid.

An vital letting go and an vital rebirth for me personally. And I additionally thought that maybe a extra genuine introduction could be an ideal place to start out on this podcast particularly. And so that is one really that I modified from a model I wrote to a buddy who I hadn’t seen in a very long time or talked to shortly and within the effort of making an attempt to be extra all the best way myself on-line.

I’m not afraid of gluten or EMFs or gaining weight or many of the different issues I used to fret about.

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 matter for me for properly over a decade. After I found I had some cavities and began studying in regards to the strategy of remineralization and the way our enamel have the flexibility to remain stronger and more healthy, depending on a whole lot of components, together with our vitamin, our oral microbiome, and the setting of our mouth. And this is the reason we use one thing known 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 hold enamel robust and wholesome. And that is additionally why I selected to not use fluoride in my merchandise. Hydroxyapatite has lots of the identical upsides with out the potential downsides that include fluoride and is definitely 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 could be issues like strep mutans, which is the micro organism linked to cavities, in addition to the host of micro organism which can be linked to issues like gingivitis. Each of these could be combated by having a very wholesome oral microbiome.
So we’ve lately launched probiotic mints which have 4 probiotic strains that assist improve the oral microbiome and by selecting microbiome protected components, in addition to hydroxyapatite for tooth enamel within the toothpaste.

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 would appear to be.
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 wished to only briefly spotlight earlier than I finish this podcast. So these shall be kind of my prime takeaways that had been recurring in an excellent variety of the previous 100 episodes. Actually, the widespread thread right here is that the easy and free issues are sometimes essentially the most impactful however usually neglected 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 a whole lot 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 exterior 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 in all probability bored with me saying by now could be that we’re every our personal major healthcare supplier. And I’d lately add Healer to the checklist. And that whereas we will work with superb 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 all the pieces we want. And sort of puzzle piece along with that. Is the concept I’ve talked lots about, about our physique is all the time on our facet. 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 ideal reminder that our physique is all the time on our facet. It’s all the time making an attempt to heal. It’s all the time making an attempt to reside its greatest life. And that if it wished to kill us, it may do it in lower than a second. It will be immediate. And it’s not, it’s all the time making an attempt to be on our facet. 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 can be maintaining it from with the ability to heal.
In fact, 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 worthwhile and worthwhile pursuit as properly. There’s been numerous discuss within the final 100 episodes of the significance of protein particularly, however in adequately fueling our our bodies with sufficient vitamin. And statistically, that is particularly an element for ladies that we want extra protein than many people are getting. We’d like 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 indicators to our physique and might make it troublesome to steadiness hormones or to achieve a wholesome weight or to sleep properly. And this can be a shifting goal for me as properly. I’m untraining years of not consuming sufficient and studying how one can 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 facets of well being. And like I mentioned, whereas I ignored these completely for many years, I’ve now come to see them as at the very least equal or doubtlessly extra vital components 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 lots 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 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 a whole lot of us are merely not getting sufficient minerals to adequately replenish. That is very true in the event you sweat lots, 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 that you would be able to 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 facet and is all the time there to be our buddy.
