Katie: Hello and welcome to the 700th episode of the Wellness Mama podcast. It’s onerous 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 believed 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 a bit 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 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 really those that got here up essentially the most round life shifts, the latest divorce that’s occurred in my life, how co-parenting goes, loads of issues associated to that. Also 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, at first, spoke rather 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 essential however I even have come to consider it’s extra nuanced than I believed. Certainly extra individualized and customized and rather more impacted by psychological and emotional well being than I used to assume.
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 features 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 stated, I’ve taken some private time to undergo these huge changes in my life and to simply be current with my children. And my private lesson and theme for the previous few years has concerned an entire lot of letting go and of studying find out how to consciously domesticate peace. And it’s been lovely, actually typically difficult, and it’s nonetheless a journey in progress. But 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 components of myself out of Wellness Mama for years, partially for concern of judgment and likewise partially as a result of I nervous that some components 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 nervous that these wouldn’t be, like I stated, useful or relatable. And after I actually thought it via, I noticed that most individuals will undergo some type of huge 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 type 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 features of my life that I’ve beforehand been a bit bit extra non-public about. That doesn’t imply I’ll most likely share particulars of my children’ lives on-line as a result of I nonetheless really feel these are theirs to share. But 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 girl.
Certainly the opposite matters usually are not going away both and neither is the content material. But I do hope this may deliver some new and attention-grabbing route and company.
Now on a private stage. The greatest 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 huge feelings round that. And it was powerful to face personally with out public opinion for some time. And so I took a while to do this. But secondly, I wished to verify earlier than I did that I may maintain my very own boundary about not ever saying something destructive about him publicly, which was a vow I made throughout the course of, by which I deliberate to uphold. And I really do assume that regardless of some powerful patches, we have been really capable of navigate it very respectfully and whereas staying largely 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 important instance and follow 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 that was doubtless additionally hurting and experiencing his personal feelings round every part.
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. No matter how tough 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 no less than management my aspect of that equation and likewise 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 secure folks that we have been capable of speak via our emotions about with them, which included therapists and shut buddies, 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 likewise to our children, as a result of I do assume it may very well be hurtful for them to listen to destructive 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 annoyed.
We additionally managed to navigate a comparatively sophisticated logistical and authorized course of with out opposing legal professionals or court docket dates or combating. In truth, we pre-negotiated and even pre-organized all of the belongings in a method that appeared honest and type to each of us. And we have been capable of simply have a choose log off on every part. And it looks like 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, Conscious Uncoupling, and I discovered that recommendation useful, however I additionally would possibly find yourself releasing a e-book sooner or later that’s a bit bit extra in depth about the best way we went via 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 typically accompany an uncoupling. So like I stated, 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 signifies that I’ve transitioned to life as a single mum or dad 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 chargeable for basically the entire child logistics and care throughout the month for more often than not. And it’s really solely been a reasonably small adjustment, particularly with older children who can drive now. And I’ve tried to simply maintain the concentrate on being current with them. I reread the e-book, Be Here Now, and I attempt to use that as a type 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 assume that I solely have a yr left with him as a baby.
And on a strictly private stage, solely as a result of I bought a number of questions on this on Instagram, I’m positively not targeted on coming into the relationship scene, I feel is the way it was worded on there. And I actually 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 children fairly shortly 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 children.
And I additionally bought loads of questions on that notice in regards to the children and the way they’re doing and find out how to assist children navigate onerous modifications that may be painful and really feel out of their management. And this was, in fact, one of many primary concerns throughout this course of as effectively, I feel, for each of us. And whereas I actually 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 capable of put our personal egos apart and have the ability to assist the children navigate it fairly effectively, too.
The huge piece of recommendation I’d return to right here is absolutely 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 immediately. And we have been even advised in no unsure phrases that when one mum or dad speaks negatively in regards to the different to the youngsters, it’s not solely painful for them, however it’s really a type of baby abuse. And so we each labored and did loads of work internally to verify we had our personal emotional help constructions and folks in place in order that we weren’t counting on our children for emotional help and as a substitute may very well be there for them and present up as a secure and non-judgmental house as they course of their feelings as effectively.
And actually there have been feelings to course of on all fronts. For me, a few of the feelings I felt and processed throughout that have been issues like my disgrace about it being a failure and being towards 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 an enormous childhood set off for me. That was sort of my worst-case state of affairs was ever disappointing anybody. And additionally 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 rather more peaceable now. And I hope the identical for him. We have been capable of keep amicable and have common conversations in regards to the children 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 state of affairs that is ready to occur, however actually I’m grateful that we have been each in a position to do this on this time.
On the co-parenting aspect, we do nonetheless test in with one another and have conversations in regards to the children. And the perfect recommendation I can provide right here is goes again to maintain that focus of by no means making enemies of one another, utilizing sort phrases and holding 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 capable of have conversations and work out an answer. And we each, I feel, preserve the concept that we’d relatively put our personal pleasure apart and make choices which might be finest for the children relatively than get the court docket system concerned. And I do know that does require each individuals being keen to do this, and I’m tremendous grateful that we have been capable of.
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 matter you wish to hear extra about sooner or later, or I’d love to listen to really your ideas and recommendation in case you’ve navigated one thing related 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. But aye. Have been journaling so much. And I’m, like I stated, I’m nonetheless making an attempt to pinpoint it, however I had a stream of consciousness journal that appeared to love contact on no less than a few 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 inside fireplace period, my candy and savory period, my typically salty period, my ingesting espresso in mattress period, my would possibly get a pet tiger period, my home vegetation 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 assume 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 effectively. And on the Wellness Mama aspect. I had a few of these tied into my private ones. And as I stated, I noticed I used to be solely exhibiting floor stage components of myself as Wellness Mama and it began to really feel inauthentic. And I misplaced a few of the ardour I had within the early days. In truth, I not too long ago 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 demise of kinds, and that the brand new model rising is one which I’m enthusiastic about once more. I feel that is going to contain, like I stated, speaking extra brazenly about matters that I’ve talked about. Getting again to nurturing the guts of group and connection prefer it was within the earlier days. And I wished to share simply as a private notice, 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. Just 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 demise, we lose who we have been earlier than motherhood. It seems like maybe a rebirth into a brand new period for Wellness Mama as effectively. And I’m excited for that. But 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 children’ 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 reduction.

An necessary letting go and an necessary rebirth for me personally. And I additionally thought that maybe a extra genuine introduction can be an important 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 now not afraid of gluten or EMFs or gaining weight or a lot of the different issues I used to fret about.

This podcast is delivered to 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 effectively over a decade. When I found I had some cavities and began studying in regards to the means of remineralization and the way our tooth have the flexibility to remain stronger and more healthy, depending on loads of components, together with our vitamin, our oral microbiome, and the atmosphere of our mouth. And because of this we use one thing known 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 maintain tooth robust and wholesome. And that is additionally why I selected to not use fluoride in my merchandise. Hydroxyapatite has lots of the similar upsides with out the potential downsides that include fluoride and is actually 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. But 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. Both of these will be combated by having a very 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 components, 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 thus a few years and for the years to return and what it is going to appear to be.
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 will probably be type of my high takeaways that have been recurring in variety of the previous 100 episodes. Certainly, the frequent thread right here is that the easy and free issues are sometimes essentially the most impactful however typically ignored 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. But getting morning daylight particularly is one which I like to recommend actually because I feel 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 effectively. It’s additionally very useful for teenagers in case your children have hassle sleeping. And it’s fully free. So it’s one which I and lots of company have really helpful.
Another theme you guys are most likely bored with 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 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. But the sweetness is that we have already got inside us every part we’d like. And sort of puzzle piece along with that. Is the concept I’ve talked so much about, about our physique is all the time on our aspect. Dr. Cassie Huckaby talked about this as effectively in her episode. I feel 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 she had an important 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 finest life. And that if it wished to kill us, it may do it in lower than a second. It can be on the spot. And it’s not, it’s all the time making an attempt 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 might be holding it from with the ability to heal.
Of course, in that there’s the theme of addressing stress, which is a shifting goal in in the present day’s world actually, and one which I’ve skilled fairly acutely the final couple of years, however a really worthwhile and worthwhile pursuit as effectively. 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 vitamin. 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 weight loss plan that’s probably 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 this can be a shifting goal for me as effectively. I’m untraining years of not consuming sufficient and studying find out how to correctly gas 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 features of well being. And like I stated, whereas I ignored these completely for many years, I’ve now come to see them as no less than equal or probably extra necessary 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 effectively. I’ve additionally talked so much about minerals and had many company speak about these as effectively. I take advantage of ones like Eidon and upgraded formulation and LMNT, however I do assume 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. This is very true in case you sweat so much, 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 residing in a scorching local weather. I learn the statistic you could lose extra minerals in 5 years in these situations than the typical particular person can in a lifetime. So I’ve seen firsthand how rather more vitality can come once we get the mineral equation proper, and it’s one I typically encourage now.
And then ending with the concept that our physique is all the time on our aspect and is all the time there to be our buddy. This was a tough realized lesson for me and one which I’m glad has come up in so many podcast episodes. And as we transfer on to the subsequent 100 and hopefully 300 and hopefully many extra podcast episodes, I’d actually love to listen to from you and nevertheless you wanna attain out, whether or not or not it’s by way of electronic mail or Instagram messages or feedback on the positioning, which I do learn.
