Katie: Hiya 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 unbelievable individuals on this podcast and to share these conversations with you. And I believed it might be becoming on this episode to speak by way of 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 slightly extra faraway from the web world as I’ve gone by way of 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 needed 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 current divorce that’s occurred in my life, how co-parenting goes, a number 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 might say beginning broadly with a the place we’ve come from form of chapter. I really feel like the previous few 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 aspect as a result of that’s the place my power and intention have been going. And I do assume that that aspect is important however I even have come to consider it’s extra nuanced than I believed. Definitely extra individualized and customized and way more impacted by psychological and emotional well being than I used to assume.

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 internal aspect, the psychological and emotional points 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 mentioned, 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 a complete lot of letting go and of studying methods to consciously domesticate peace. And it’s been lovely, actually typically 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 few months particularly that in some methods I’ve stored giant components of myself out of Wellness Mama for years, partially for worry of judgment and likewise partially as a result of I fearful that some components won’t be relatable or fascinating 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 fearful that these wouldn’t be, like I mentioned, useful or relatable. And once I actually thought it by way of, I noticed that most individuals will undergo some kind of huge life or relationship transition of their lives and that the majority girls 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 points of my life that I’ve beforehand been slightly bit extra non-public about. That doesn’t imply I’ll in all probability share particulars of my children’ 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 subjects and hopefully a extra holistic strategy of all that goes into motherhood and of being a lady.

Definitely the opposite subjects usually are not going away both and neither is the content material. However I do hope this may carry some new and fascinating course and visitors.

Now on a private stage. The most important life shift for me personally, in fact, 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 huge 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 needed to ensure earlier than I did that I might maintain my very own boundary about not ever saying something destructive about him publicly, which was a vow I made through the course of, by which I deliberate to uphold. And I really do assume that regardless of some robust patches, we have been really capable of navigate it very respectfully and whereas staying principally actually form 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 incredible instance and apply of understanding that I actually solely do have the power to manage my very own ideas and actions and feelings, and that I might nonetheless select kindness towards the opposite one who was possible additionally hurting and experiencing his personal feelings round all the pieces.

And for anybody else who’s navigated this life change or is likely to 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. Irrespective of 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 might not less than management my aspect of that equation and likewise to by no means communicate negatively about him, particularly to our youngsters, 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 people who we have been capable of discuss by way of 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 youngsters, as a result of I do assume it could possibly 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 once I was actually annoyed.

We additionally managed to navigate a comparatively difficult logistical and authorized course of with out opposing attorneys or courtroom dates or combating. 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 have been capable of simply have a choose log off on all the pieces. And it looks like that is maybe uncommon, not the way in which it usually goes. And it’s one thing I’d share extra about sooner or later if anybody’s .

I learn the e book, Acutely aware Uncoupling, and I discovered that recommendation useful, however I additionally would possibly find yourself releasing a e book sooner or later that’s slightly bit extra in depth about the way in which we went by way of 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 mentioned, 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 right now’s world.

And for me now, that additionally signifies 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 chargeable for basically the entire child logistics and care through the month for more often than not. And it’s really solely been a fairly small adjustment, particularly with older children who can drive now. And I’ve tried to simply 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 unbelievable how fleeting they’re. And my oldest now turning 17. It’s actually, it’s wild to assume that I solely have a 12 months left with him as a baby.

And on a strictly private stage, 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 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 eager to get married once more. I bought married very younger. I had six children 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 potential that may occur in a busy home with six children.

And I additionally bought a number of questions on that word in regards to the children and the way they’re doing and methods 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 important issues 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 be capable of assist the children navigate it fairly effectively, too.

The large piece of recommendation I might return to right here is de facto 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 have been even instructed 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 baby abuse. And so we each labored and did a number of work internally to ensure we had our personal emotional help buildings and other people in place in order that we weren’t counting on our youngsters for emotional help and as an alternative could possibly be there for them and present up as a secure and non-judgmental area as they course of their feelings as effectively.

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 have been issues like my disgrace about it being a failure and being towards the opinion of essential 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 form of my worst-case state of affairs was ever disappointing anybody. And in addition guilt as a result of I noticed that working by way of 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 plenty of different feelings at totally different occasions that I set to work by way of and hopefully launch and that appear way more peaceable now. And I hope the identical for him. We have now 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 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 actually I’m grateful that we have been each in a position to try 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 most effective recommendation I can provide right here is goes again to maintain that focus of by no means making enemies of one another, utilizing form phrases and protecting 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 capable of have conversations and work out an answer. And we each, I feel, preserve the concept that we’d moderately put our personal delight apart and make choices which might be greatest for the children moderately than get the courtroom system concerned. And I do know that does require each individuals being prepared to try this, and I’m tremendous grateful that we have been capable of.

And I’m additionally, as I mentioned, prepared to open up much more about these subjects. So please let me know within the feedback or on Instagram if this can be a subject you wish to hear extra about sooner or later, or I’d love to listen to really your ideas and recommendation when you’ve navigated one thing comparable 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 part 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 not less than 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 internal 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 all over the 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 artistic period, my studying issues that talk to my soul period, my journey period, my run by way of 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 mentioned, 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 number of the ardour I had within the early days. In actual fact, I not too long ago additionally journaled and wrote an obituary for the particular person Wellness Mama was up to now and I used to be totally 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 mentioned, speaking extra overtly about subjects that I’ve talked about. Getting again to nurturing the guts of group and connection prefer it was within the earlier days. And I needed to share simply as a private word, the obituary I wrote as I’m sharing my journey by way of 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 homeland 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. 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 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 last bow with a bittersweet mix of gratitude, tears, and a sigh of reduction.

It seems that shedding the pores and skin of attachment that was the precise supply of the struggling was the important thing to her transformation, main her on a path that ultimately resulted in her digital demise. In her digital existence, she juggled parenting duties with the finesse of a circus ringmaster, all whereas navigating the perilous waters of on-line opinions from nameless commenters. A feat worthy in a Nobel Prize in Endurance, had there been a class for collective maternal endurance, which in fact, if there have been, all moms would declare yearly.

She had a gentle houseplant dependancy, an affection for honeybees, and really for all animals, which she at all times known as child, a knack for spontaneous costume events, and a stunning reconciliation with bananas earlier than her digital demise.

In lieu Digital Bouquets, she implores you to honor her reminiscence by being totally current along with your family members, sharing laughter over a home-cooked meal, spontaneously breaking into dance, and embracing the boundless energy of unconditional love.

Like I mentioned, Wellness Mama isn’t going away, however I really feel just like the model of me, each in actual life and on-line that has lived for the previous 16 years has so drastically modified that it felt like. An essential letting go and an essential rebirth for me personally. And I additionally thought that maybe a extra genuine introduction can be an incredible 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 way in which myself on-line. I needed to reintroduce myself.

Hello, I’m Katie. Final identify nonetheless be to be decided. I’m a divorced single mother of six who by no means plans to be legally married once more on this lifetime.

I’m now not afraid of gluten or EMFs or gaining weight or a lot of the different issues I used to fret about. I don’t observe a food regimen or a plan, and I don’t take dietary supplements on a regular basis. Sunshine and lifting weights have turn into my important medication. I firmly consider that our interpretation of issues and our power round them carries extra weight than the issues themselves. I’m nonetheless an enormous fan of espresso.

I’ve many extra questions on life than solutions today, and I adore it that method. I’m solely keen on genuine relationships, the place there’s freedom to say the onerous issues, to point out up imperfectly, and to apologize when issues don’t go effectively, to be really seen, and I’m okay with that being a really small variety of relationships. I’ve a higher capability to like today. As a result of my love earlier than might solely come by way of the lens of how I handled myself.

Oral well being has been a enjoyable analysis subject for me for effectively over a decade. After I found I had some cavities and began studying in regards to the technique of remineralization and the way our enamel have the power to remain stronger and more healthy, depending on a number of elements, together with our vitamin, our oral microbiome, and the atmosphere of our mouth.

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 might be linked to issues like gingivitis.

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 come back and what it is going to 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 needed to simply briefly spotlight earlier than I finish this podcast. So these might 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 straightforward and free issues are sometimes probably the most impactful however typically 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 a number of element and nuance that goes inside these and plenty of podcasts on these subjects. However 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 potential after waking up, even on a cloudy day, even for simply 5 minutes and get pure gentle in our eyes, not by way of 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 youths in case your children have hassle sleeping. And it’s utterly free. So it’s one which I and plenty of visitors have really useful.

One other theme you guys are in all probability uninterested in me saying by now could be that we’re every our personal main healthcare supplier. And I might not too long ago add Healer to the checklist. And that whereas we will work with wonderful medical doctors and practitioners, and I hope that we do after we want them, that on the finish of the day, the accountability at all times lies inside us. However the magnificence is that we have already got inside us all the pieces we want. And form of puzzle piece along with that. Is the concept I’ve talked lots about, about our physique is at all times 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 straightforward to really feel like our physique is out to get us. And she or he had an incredible reminder that our physique is at all times on our aspect. It’s at all times making an attempt to heal. It’s at all times making an attempt to stay its greatest life. And that if it needed to kill us, it might do it in lower than a second. It will be immediate. And it’s not, it’s at all times making an attempt to be on our aspect. And so we will work with it to seek out the issues that it wants that it doesn’t have, or to take away the issues which might be protecting it from with the ability to heal.

In fact, in that there’s the theme of addressing stress, which is a shifting goal in right now’s world actually, and one which I’ve skilled fairly acutely the final couple of years, however a really precious and worthwhile pursuit as effectively. 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 girls that we want extra protein than many people are getting. We’d like extra vitamins than many people are getting. And in right now’s world, it’s very straightforward to get a food regimen that’s probably sufficient energy, however not sufficient vitamins, which sends stress indicators 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 methods 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 points of well being. And like I mentioned, whereas I ignored these totally for many years, I’ve now come to see them as not less than equal or probably extra essential 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 plenty of extra coming sooner or later as effectively. I’ve additionally talked lots about minerals and had many visitors speak about these as effectively. I exploit ones like Eidon and upgraded formulation and LMNT, however I do assume 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 number of us are merely not getting sufficient minerals to adequately replenish. That is very true when you sweat lots, whether or not it’s within the sauna, whether or not it’s athletics, whether 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 common particular person can in a lifetime. So I’ve seen firsthand how way more power can come after we get the mineral equation proper, and it’s one I typically encourage now.

After which ending with the concept that our physique is at all times on our aspect and is at all times 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 following 100 and hopefully 300 and hopefully many extra podcast episodes, I might actually love to listen to from you and nonetheless you wanna attain out, whether or not it’s through e-mail or Instagram messages or feedback on the positioning, which I do learn.
