    "I Know Why You're Single, Sis!" with Nadia Stanley

    "I Know Why You're Single, Sis!" with Nadia Stanley
    This week I'm joined by Nadia Stanley, a Global TV Producer, who left her 9 to 5 to tell women "I Know Why You're Single,Sis!" I met Nadia years ago when she lived in Jamaica and we always crossed paths. Recently, I saw that she was living in LA and wrote a book!!! I immediately reached out to her and asked if I could read her book and then asked her to be a part of my podcast. This episode was so much fun to record because as always, we got to speak about so much more than just her book.
     
    But back to the book...
     
    "I Know Why You're Single,Sis! A conversational quick read that can change your life, this book challenges women to literally check off the common sayings they believe, that might just be keeping them single. Sayings like "All Men are Dogs," Nadia Stanley asks back "Does that then mean all women are B*^$es?"
     
    Please tune into this conversation and then start your own conversations amongst your friends and family.
     
    Hope you enjoy this episode to the max and looking forward to hearing back from you all.

    No Mix Up, Just Blended with Regina McCallum

    No Mix Up, Just Blended with Regina McCallum

    Hey everyone. I’m so excited to be bringing this very highly requested episode to you. Regina and I have been Co-parenting Gio (Regina and Wayne’s son who is now 14yrs) for many many years. In this episode, we talk a little bit about what we’ve done, why we think it’s works and how much it has benefited us both. We mostly gush about our relationship with each other and how we’ve become friends throughout this crazy journey of Co parenting. "No Mix Up, Just Blended" was born out of our many conversations and it’s how we truly strive to live our lives. I’m blessed to have had her on this episode and I hope you all will enjoy this very candid conversation between us. Most of all, I hope it helps to open up the narrative around co-parenting. I have a feeling this will need a part two so look out for that!!! Follow Regina on instagram @Regina_McCallum and be sure to tag us both when you're listening to this episode.

    She Matters To Me with Dr. Chrisann Simpson Harley

    She Matters To Me with Dr. Chrisann Simpson Harley
    Today's guest is Dr. Chrisann Simpson Harley. She is a Gynecologist, Entrepreneur who created an entire line of sanitary products (Woman's Touch and Mother's Embrace) and a woman on a mission. Not to mention, she is also an incredible wife and mother. In this episode, we talk about Dr. Simpson Harley's journey to her profession, her passion to create a product that worked for Caribbean women and how she is using that passion to fuel her ultimate goal, to improve the lives of Teen Moms and Pregnant Teens . Her initiative seeks to empower all women, young and old, to help them be fearless, know their worth, understand their influence and use it as a vehicle to develop Jamaica and impact the world. 
     
    This was a powerful conversation for me especially as I find myself at the end of my 3rd pregnancy. It was heartbreaking and eye opening all at once but it fired me up to help to do my part in bringing awareness to these young women who are often left without a voice and discarded from society. I am making it a part of my personal mission to become a part of the solution. I hope you have many take aways from this episode and that you too make it your mission to be your sisters keeper. Please follow Dr. Simpson Harley on Instagram @DrChrisannSimpsonHarley and @GetWomansTouch on all social media platforms for even more information and please use the hashtag #SheMattersToMe when you share this episode.
     

    "The implications of Teen Pregnancy is clear. Oftentimes, the teenage mother is excluded from school. Reintegration into the school system can be difficult. Some institutions refuse to accept these young mothers into their institutions.

    With little to no education, their professional opportunities are limited, leaving these mothers in a position where they can't care for themselves and their children, the burden of care then rests with civil society and the government.


    The girls are often frightened and demoralized with little to no support at a time when they are most emotionally and financially vulnerable. Often, these girls are left to fend for themselves while struggling to deal with the societal stereotypes which are attached to teenage pregnancy.

     
    Teen moms need our love, guidance and support now more than ever.  Let us join hands and hearts to make a difference in the lives of these girls and the future of this nation.
     
    Let's not judge, lets HELP!"

    Dearest Doula with Stephanie Brennan

    Dearest Doula with Stephanie Brennan
    This week I am very happy to have Stephanie Brennan as my guest. Apart from being a wife and a mama of two, she is a Full Spectrum Doula, Childbirth Educatior and Yoga Teacher. Stephanie is originally  from Florida and recently moved to Jamaica where she is raising her family, making a name for herself in this space and serving our women in a most beautiful, unique way.
     
    With my second child, I had a Doula present and she offered me incredible support so I wanted to shine some light on what these amazing women do, their role in the birthing process and how they're helping women to take back their power in their pregnancy, birth/delivery and beyond.
     
    We speak about some of the top misconceptions (or myths) about doulas...so in essence we are Debunking Doula Myths.
     
    Here are some of the Myths we tackle:
     
    1. A doula does the same thing as a midwife
    2. A doula would take the place of my partner
    3. Doulas are only for women who want a natural birth
    4. Doulas are too expensive
    5. Doulas will advocate on my behalf
     
     
    We also talk a bit about the importance of postpatum care-  what that really looks like, why this is vital and how women can prepare for this stage.
     
    I hope that this episode gives you some more information, helps you to feel empowered about your birth and gives you the courage to create the support system you need.
     
    If you want even more information, please reach out to Stephanie via Instagram @doulawithallmyheart or email her at stephnbrennan@gmail.com  also tag us both (@tamichinmitchell) when you're listening to the episode so we can show some love right back.

    t’s JUNE! Which means we are halfway through the year. I know that this time of year can trigger some real feelings of inadequacy and disappointment and a general sense of WTF AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE???

You are not alone friends and I promise you, this journey you are on will all make sense, somehow, suddenly. I hope you tune in today, I hope you share with a friend who may need to hear it and most of all, I hope you find it helpful. Plenty love and light always and have a great day!

    Six Weeks With Sarah

    Six Weeks With Sarah
    Hey Everyone,
     
    I'm so excited that this week, I'm joined by my dear friend Sarah (Serzi). She's recently had her first child and only a few weeks into her motherhood journey, she mentioned to me that we should do an episode about the first 6 weeks of being of a mommy. I feel like I'd forgotten a lot about that time so it was nice to discuss the feelings that may come up. This Caribbean beauty was born in Jamaica but grew up in Trinidad and I am 100% responsible for teaching her Patois which you will hear on display many times in this interview :-) We talk about her journey to motherhood, her experience with loss, her birth story and so much more. There are so many things going on in the first 6 weeks of being a mom that we really could have done this in two parts. I am so grateful to Sarah for being so open and honest with her story and allowing us a chance to take part. 
     
    Some topics we cover:
     
    • Journey to motherhood
    • Miscarriage
    • Post Partum Depression/Baby Blues
    • What To Say to Pregnant Women (Do's and Don'ts)
    • Birth Story
    • Helping Dads to be/feel a part of the whole journey
    • Healing After A Belly Birth (C-Section)
    • 10 Things To NOT Say To A New Mom
    • Visiting Mom and Baby (Do's & Don'ts)
    • Self Care 
     
    As always, I hope you find this helpful, insightful and inspiring. Hope you belly laugh along with us and maybe even learn something new. Follow Sarah on instagram @yesisezi and be sure to tag us both ( @tamichinmitchell ) when you listen to this episode.
     

    My Pregnancy and Birth Story Baby #2 Atlas

    My Pregnancy and Birth Story Baby #2 Atlas

    After an overwhelming response to the podcast about my 1st pregnancy and birth story, I decided to also share with you about my 2nd. This story is different in almost every way and if you met my children, you would also know that they are completely different in every way too despite being born in the same month just 3 days apart!!! Crazy right?

     

    I attempted a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After C-Section) and was open to the possibility of having a home birth. Take a listen to this very personal recount of my journey. My hope is that you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed walking down memory lane. 

     

    Pregnancies and Births are all so unique and we really need to do a better job at celebrating however our babies come through us. I hope that if you identify with my birth story that you will feel free in sharing your own story with someone else. If we can all share our stories without judgment we can truly create a space of safety and support that we all need as mommies (and daddies).

     

    Thanks so much tuning in and I will see you again next week. 

     

    Tami

    Mommy And Me

    Mommy And Me

    This is a very candid conversation between my mom and I. IT IS NOT A PERFECT RECORDING but I feel like we still covered so many great topics. We speak a lot about parenting, marriage, losing yourself and regrets amongst other things. My mom has been one of my greatest teachers ever but she is also one of my best friends and my ultimate confidant. I really hope you take away some of the golden nuggets we unveiled and that you feel a part of this conversation between and mother and daughter, a conversation between 2 wives but ultimately, a conversation between 2 mamas. Thanks for tuning in and hope you enjoy. 

    My Pregnancy and Birth Story: Baby #1 Jax

    My Pregnancy and Birth Story: Baby #1 Jax

    Hey Everyone, I struggled a lot this week with what episode I should put out next. I have been asked so many times even before I started this podcast if I would be open to sharing about my pregnancies but even more so, my birth stories. This is a HUGE topic for me because to be honest, I feel like it’s still so fresh in my brain and not only is it fresh, I know I’m about to do it all over again. I know I have a LOT of Mommies out there listening and today, I was reminded that I have lots of Daddies who tune in too so I hope this will be insightful for anyone listening regardless if you’re a parent or not.

    So, here we go, this is a little bit about my experience with my first pregnancy and birth story (what I can remember :-)) and I hope you find it interesting, insightful, entertaining and at the very least, I hope it encourages you to be a little kinder and supportive to the women around you who have gone through this life changing experience of becoming a mommy. Now, if you can't manage words like nipples and vaginas...this might not be the episode for you :-)

    In this episode, I'm doing a quick "Q & A" with my friend Jonno. I asked you to send in some questions and we're answering them.

    This week I invite my dear friend Krissy to have a chat with me about friends and friendships. How we choose our friends, how we nurture our relationships, the different levels of friendship and the important roles they play in our lives.

    Parenting: Is There A Better Way?

    Parenting: Is There A Better Way?

    I get asked so many times about doing an episode on parenting, how to handle toddlers, tantrums and meltdowns. So many parents feel so overwhelmed and powerless in the choices they are making as it pertains to parenting and I'm hoping that this episode will bring to your attention a new way to look at this very BIG picture. I was introduced to "Conscious Parenting" a little while back but only recently started to deep dive into the practices of this teaching. It has been life changing, not only for me, but for my family also. If you're looking for a better way, a new way to parent, I strongly recommend to begin your search here. The teachings of Dr. Shefali Tsabary have been a life saver for me and I hope that it inspires you to go on your own search for a better way. 

     

    I would highly recommend her books The Conscious Parent and The Awakened Family as well as all the content available on youtube and podcasts.

     

    In this episode, Jonno and I talk about what it was like in our homes growing up, how we parent our children and how we are both on a path to helping to nurture and preserve the essence of our children. This topic is so huge that we barely got to cover all the aspects we wanted to. You can be sure there will be many more episodes on this topic and on parenting in general.

     

    We are trying to create a community that fosters honesty and vulnerability without judgement and we hope you not only learn from our honesty and vulnerability but also feel inspired to share some of that in your own lives. We are all trying to figure out this journey and it is my deep hope is that we can support one another in the figuring out of it all.
