Having a baby changes you and my friend Ali Velez was no exception. But hearing about her struggles AND joys of motherhood has definitely changed ME. It's changed how I speak to my friends that our new mothers and how I support them. This episode is a behavior changer and it's stuck with me--I hope it sticks with you.

The Dear Mattie Show

DMS 116: Ali Velez on Motherhood, Breastfeeding Guilt & The Mama Files Blog

This episode is so timely y'all. Megan Heyn opened up about her struggle to stay "beautiful" and how she actually found a voice for herself in challenging the beauty narrative.  In fact, that's why she wrote and is funding her short film, The Fix.

It's a comedy about the messages women receive to fix themselves to be perfect, and I didn't' realize what a deeper conversation this would invoke on the show. Truly loved having Megan on. 

Find all info or DONATE to her film! ART IS IMPORTANT! DONATE HERE.

Follow the film on INSTAGRAM, and MEGAN!

DMS 142: Megan Heyn & the Pressure of Plastic Surgery

The state of news is well...in a state, sugars! (See how I did that?) But seriously, is it fake, is it real, or is it all crazy?

Loved having journalist Erica Mandy from The Newsworthy podcast because dang, y'all. She breaks it down and gives you some perspective on how to find out what is actually happening in the world. 

I've really enjoyed listening to her show too, y'all. Like for real. I would highly recommend subscribing because it really is a true perspective of what's happening in the world--and also--I don't feel disgusting after I listen.

You can find all things Erica on her website: www.theNewsworthy.com

DMS 141: Erica Mandy from The Newsworthy Podcast

Growing up gay, in the South, with a very religious and experiencing daily sexual abuse as a teenager--this was Nate Postlethwait's childhood. But this isn't a story about being a victim. Nate's story is about being a champion for other men to openly discuss sexual abuse and to live their life without the shame and fear of lies.  A truly inspiring guy for a truly inspiring episode y'all.
