The Mom Feed

By: Lauren Ashley Lobley
  • Summary

  • Welcome to The Mom Feed, a podcast about the transition into motherhood. I am your host, Lauren Ashley Lobley, mother to two young kids, Madison and Liam. Motherhood was “supposed” to come naturally me. It didn’t. And now I’m finally talking about it. Join me each week for real, raw, honest conversations about everything in and around what it means to become “mom.” As a woman transitions into motherhood, it creates the greatest changes in hormones and brain chemistry she’ll experience in her lifetime. It’s fair to say that among those internal changes - along with the external changes of having a new child - women need support. Welcome to your support team, ladies. Here, we tackle it all: the identity crises, the hormonal changes, the feeling like you have to be asuperhuman, the martyr complex, the balancing of work and mom life, the postpartum body changes and accepting those changes (or not!), baby proofing your relationships, discovering your parenting style - everything in and on the outskirts of what it means to become a mother, whether you came to it biologically or through some other means like fostering, adoption, surrogacy or even through marriage (yup, I see you, step mamas). Because the minute you become “mom,” life is never the same. Each week I speak with guests of all backgrounds: parenting experts, psychologists, nutritionists, physical therapists - experts of all kinds, most of whom are also parents, about the endless list of topics around motherhood. My goal is to empower you with information that will make your life easier, that will help you understand why you’re feeling the way you are, and give you permission to feel it all simultaneously. Join me for new episodes every Thursday!

  • Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself: How to Banish Guilt and Beat Burnout in Motherhood with Dr. Morgan Cutlip
    Sep 21 2023

    Mom guilt.

    Mom rage.

    Mom brain.

    So many terms in motherhood, most of which we didn't really understand until we were in it.

    As mothers in this age, it can be really difficult to love your kids without losing yourself (and your mind!)  in the process.

    My guest on the show today has made it her life's work to help mothers banish guilt and beat burnout in motherhood. She just released her first book, Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself: 5 Steps to Banish Guilt and Beat Burnout When you Already Have Too Much to do. 

    This is a book that every mother needs, in my humble opinion.

    Dr. Morgan Cutlip, PhD in Psychology and highly sought after relationship expert, knows what it feels like to lose yourself in motherhood, and she’s determined to help mothers navigate it better.Throughout her career, she has helped hundreds of thousands of people worldwide learn how to form and maintain healthy relationships.Dr. Morgan has been a featured relationship expert with Teen Vogue, The New York Times, Women’s Health Magazine, MOPS International, Loveology, and Flo, the #1 app in health and fitness.

    Today on the show, we talk about very practical things you can do to find your way back to yourself in motherhood. Spoiler alert: it's not a quick fix (and anything that promises to be is probably too good to be true).

    It's a process. But a noble one at that.

    Enjoy, mama!

    Warmly,

    Lauren

  • The In Between: A Hospice Nurse’s Advice on How to Live Before we Die with Hadley Vlahos, RN
    Sep 9 2023

    Have you ever picked up a book that you just couldn't put down?

    You are exhausted and you want to go to bed, but you simply cannot stop turning the pages. And when you turn that final page, you're so sad, because it's over. But you're changed for having read it.

    That is The In Between: Unforgettable Encounters During Life's Final Moments.

    It's a book written by hospice nurse, Hadley Vlahos, RN.

    Over her years helping patients transition from this life to whatever comes next, Hadley compiled their stories and realized that since they had left her forever changed, they would probably do the same for others.

    Her social media account grew quickly as people became more and more interested about her work as a hospice nurse, and the stories of the people she has had the honor of serving in their final days, weeks and months of life.

    I had the honor of interviewing Hadley about her wonderful book.

    Today on the show, we discuss:

    1.  Themes and advice that dying people wish they could have given to themselves earlier.

    2. faith and its role in death. 

    3. How to talk to our kids about death.

    And much more.

    Settle in for an episode that just might change the way you live with lesson from those who have already passed on.

    Much love,

    Lauren

  • Hollywood’s Beauty Secret: Age Naturally and Gracefully Without Botox with Frownies’ Helen Morrison
    Jul 13 2023

    Are you concerned with fine lines and wrinkles?

    Are you into clean beauty, aging gracefully, and finding a natural way to minimize those years of expression lines on your face?

    If you're into quick fixes, there is surgery and Botox.

    But if you're into something different - a beauty secret that's been around since 1889 but that was made famous by Renee Rousso when she touted this product to be her secret to aging gracefully in Good Housekeeping magazine - then you're going to want to know about Frownies.

    As you'll hear on the show today, Helen Morrison's great grandmother invented Frownies in 1889 when she noticed that her furrowed brow was created what's become known as "11" lines in between her eyes. 

    Since then, Frownies have floated around as a natural beauty secret among celebrities, but they became an internet sensation just a few years ago.

    Learn about how they work, how they compare to Botox and surgery, and  get some of Helen's other secrets and suggestions on how to aging gracefully beyond skincare products like Frownies.

    Enjoy!
