We are releasing this episode because we know that in addition to us, so many other people need it too. Today’s guest is Dr. Anjuli Gans, a board-certified pediatrician and educator who runs the platform Resilient Rascals, and in this episode, we’re diving into all things kid sickness. Dr. Anjuli reveals how we as parents can deal with our kids being sick, and what she shares is not only honest, but her tips and advice on this topic is both realistic and practical. We are in this with you, as we’ve certainly been in situations where our kids have been sick and have experienced the impact it has on everyone in the family. We learned so much from Dr. Anjuli today, and we’re so excited for you to learn and use this information as well! As always, we want to hear your feedback and the biggest takeaways from what you heard in this episode, so please  share your thoughts on Instagram and tag us, @resilientrascals and @herselfpodcast. MEET Dr. Anjuli: https://www.instagram.com/resilientrascals/ Sponsor: 45-Day Free Trial of HOMER:  https://glnk.io/04kp/ameskiefer Sponsor: 20% off first order at THIRDLOVE: http://thirdlove.com/herselfLinks & Resources:Dr. Anjuli’s Website &  Instagram Her Resource, Your Baby’s Health HandbookEnroll in the HERself Self-Care CourseLet’s connect!HERSELF SHOP: https://herself-podcast-favorites.myshopify.com HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcast HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcast MEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskiefer MEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen

Today we are excited to speak with Libby Ward from Diary of an Honest Mom, as so many of you have reached out and asked us to have her on the podcast! Libby is a digital creator, speaker and mental health advocate with a deep commitment to breaking the cycles of trauma. She is known for talking about the hard things that mothers face through storytelling, while using humor and a lot of vulnerability. Her mission is to help other women realize that they are good moms, just as they are!We feel the reason that Libby resonates with so many people, and so deeply too, is that she shares with a level of honesty that we’re just not used to hearing today. We hope that you find this interview as inspirational and inspiring as we did, and we’d be so happy if you shared it on Instagram, tagging us @diaryofanhonestmom and @herselfpodcast.

Before we jump into this episode, we wanted to let you know that it is longer than our usual episodes, and we talk about some heavy stuff in this one. In fact, this might be the type of episode where you take a couple of breaks while listening, and one that you send to your partner to check out. Today, we’ll be talking about what would happen if we should die, which is a topic that could take a while for you to process, because as you’ll hear, there is a lot to consider here. Our expert guest today is attorney Eric Christoffersen, who has been with the law firm Grams & Christoffersen for 13 years and counting. He started as a law student, clerking for Founder, David F. Grams who established the firm nearly 30 years ago. After graduating law school, cum laude from the University of Wisconsin Law School, he became an associate attorney and then later a shareholder. Now with 11+ years of practice experience he is the Managing Shareholder of Grams & Christoffersen, S.C., leading a great team to serve their clients into the future.We think this episode with Eric is a really important one, and we discuss something that a lot of people will go through in their lifetimes. We feel that thinking about the future is worth having an entire episode on, and we hope you get a lot from this interview with Eric, who was in charge of helping Amy plan for her future. If you found this episode informative and helpful, we would love it if you shared it with your friends and loved ones, and let us know your biggest takeaway by tagging @gcestatelaw and @herselfpodcast on Instagram! MEET Eric: https://www.instagram.com/gcestatelaw/ Sponsor: 10% off at BETTERHELP: http://betterhelp.com/herself Sponsor: 20% off at VUORI: https://vuoriclothing.com/herself Links & Resources:Eric’s Company’s Website & Email Their Instagram & FacebookWebsite:  www.dfgrams.comEmail: info@dfgrams.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/gcestatelaw/Let’s connect!HERSELF SHOP: https://herself-podcast-favorites.myshopify.com HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcast HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcast MEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskiefer MEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen

Today’s episode expands on the feelings of burnout and overwhelm that we’ve been talking about, and our hope is that it will give you some tangible tools and ideas for how we’ve worked through it in different seasons of our lives. Both of us are moms of 3 children, with careers, partners, houses and laundry. We get it! We’ve been through all the tough seasons where we just weren’t asking for help or accepting it from others.

Today we are diving into the all-too-familiar topics of stress and burnout with our special guest, Amelia Nagoski. Amelia is an author, speaker and conductor who holds a Doctorate in Music from The University of Connecticut. She wrote the New York Times bestseller, Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle, with her identical twin sister, Emily. The book contains science and stories for people, especially women, who have felt exhausted and overwhelmed by everything they have to do, yet they still feel like they’re not doing enough. This conversation with Amelia is a reminder to take yourself seriously and to start listening to that voice inside of you. You won’t be able to show up fully in this world until you begin taking this thing called burnout seriously, and by figuring out what your needs truly are! We’d love it if you could share this episode and message with anyone you feel could benefit from it, because burnout is such a relevant topic today for so many people.

Welcome to this bonus episode of HERself! It is our dream to someday bring you two episodes each week, so today is the test for that. What you might not see behind the scenes is that our amazing sponsors want a certain amount of downloads, so we have an ask of you. If we do go to two episodes a week, it’s important that you keep listening and sharing these episodes to help us accomplish this dream! With that being said, we’re excited to continue providing you with the best resource that we can to support you along your journey. Today we want to reflect on Episode 146 with Dr. Becky, because Dr. Becky is someone who meets people where they are, and she’s not the type of expert who will shame you by pretending there is a “perfect” way to parent. Rather, she is trying to come alongside you and to help wherever you are. Implementing some of the things that we talk about in this episode can make such a difference in helping you and your kids to get through the tougher times, by you providing support but not solving every problem for them. It might not show up at that very moment, but little by little you’ll start to see that all these hard conversations will lead to some really amazing transformations! Again, we would be so grateful if you could text, email, and share this episode so that we can bring you even more content weekly. As always, we want to hear your biggest takeaways and how this has helped you, so please tag us at @herselfpodcast! Feeling burnt out? Longing for more time and energy for yourself? Don’t know where to start? We’ve been there. Let us help you navigate this busy season while making yourself a priority.

You are in for a treat today! We are so excited to be bringing you our conversation with Dr. Becky Kennedy, who is a clinical psychologist, mom of three, and founder of Good Inside, the expert-guided, community-powered platform equipping parents with a new way of seeing and solving challenges at home. Dr. Becky meets parents where they are at, and it’s so refreshing to get her insight on parenting, because a lot of these conversations are often happening behind closed doors. Today’s episode is a reminder that wherever we are in motherhood, we can start over right now by re-evaluating and changing our behaviors. By doing so we’ll not only help our kids, but we’ll start to help ourselves in the process. We encourage you to visit Dr. Becky’s website at https://www.goodinside.com/ and check out all the amazing resources that she has available for moms, and if you enjoy this episode, we’d be so honored if you shared it on Instagram, tagging @drbeckyatgoodinside and @herselfpodcast. MEET Dr. Becky: https://www.instagram.com/drbeckyatgoodinside/ Sponsor: 25% off at Expecting and Empowered with code ‘herself25’: https://app.expectingandempowered.comSponsor: 10% off at BETTERHELP: http://betterhelp.com/herself Links & Resources:Dr. Becky’s Website & Free Weekly NewsletterHer Instagram Pre-Order Dr. Becky’s Book, Good Inside Join Her Good Inside MembershipSign Up for Dr. Becky’s On-Demand Workshops Let’s connect!HERSELF SHOP: https://herself-podcast-favorites.myshopify.com HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcast HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcast MEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskiefer MEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen

One subject that comes up over and over again with our community is friendship, so we’re excited to bring Dr. Marisa Franco, a psychologist and friendship expert, back on the podcast today!Some of the things we cover in this episode include keeping friendships healthy when we’re in a busy season of life, tools for navigating conflict in friendship (and why conflict isn’t necessarily a bad thing), and ways to approach ending a friendship if the time comes for this to happen. Dr. Marisa also shares her best tips for making new friends, what to say when first engaging with new people, how strong friendships benefit our overall well-being, and so much more. We really want to make friendship uncomplicated for you and meet you where you are, because it’s normal to feel nervous about these topics. If friendships are something that you’re working on, like we are, we are proud of you because we recognize that this can be hard! If you enjoy what Dr. Marisa shares today, you’ll want to get a copy of her brand new book, Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make--and Keep--Friends, which is available now!

In the United States this week we are celebrating Labor Day, and we know that many of you may be with friends and family and won’t have as much time for your normal Monday morning podcast listen. For this reason, today we are bringing you a Greatest Hits episode, and one that will be especially important if you are with your in-laws this week! Dr. Tracy Dalgleish joins the HERself Podcast to talk about in-law dynamics as it relates to children. Yes, this is your time to be a parent and your children are so important to you, but also this is the time where your in-laws can shine as grandparents. There will be a learning curve and some challenges involved, but getting through it together in a way where everyone can be happy is what Tracy D focuses on in this episode. If you like what she shares, you’ll want to tune in Episode 94, which is the second part in this two-part series. In it, we go into in-law dynamics as it relates to the adults in the relationship, because we want you to make sure that you can keep the peace while maintaining your boundaries! MEET Dr. Tracy D: https://www.instagram.com/drtracyd/10% off at BETTERHELP: http://betterhelp.com/herself15% off at GOODR with code ‘herself’: https://goodr.comLet’s connect!HERSELF SHOP: https://herself-podcast-favorites.myshopify.com HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcast HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcast MEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskiefer MEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen
