As we emphasize the importance of being present in the moment, setting realistic expectations for summer activities, and the role of community & support systems. Our conversation covers how we manage schedules, budget for activities, and the significance of building connections with other parents.

  • 287. Greatest Hits: Eli Weinstein with a Male’s Perspective on Partnership After Kids and Sharing the Mental Load
    With this being a holiday weekend, we invite you to relisten to one of our most listened to episodes! We had so much positive feedback when this episode went live since it was one of the first times we had a male perspective on the podcast. If you haven’t listened yet, it’s a great alternate perspective and a great one to pass along to your male partners! Our guest, Eli Weinstein, is a dad of two and a psychotherapist that isn’t afraid to give it to people straight. He has an honest, blunt, but always kind style. Eli has been working as a therapist for over eight years and shares some of the struggles he has faced since becoming a dad, including his perspective as a dad going through loss and infertility.As women, we often ask ourselves if dads ever feel the same weight of the mental load. Eli shares his perspective on this and what advice he has for women who are feeling the mental load burden. We cover the topic of postpartum mood disorders in men, what it’s like to be the starting player versus the bench warmer in parenthood, and how we have to be able to switch on and off as the preferred parent even when our children aren’t as comfortable with it. We hope that by revisiting this episode, you hear a new piece of wisdom to take away. Or, if you’re new and hearing this for the first time, we hope you find this episode just as helpful as we did!

  • 286. Is It Being Defensive or Is It Narcissism? With Dr. Jaime Zuckerman
    *trigger warning, abusive relationships*We feel it’s important to have open and honest discussions about heavy topics in this safe space that is the HERself podcast. In today’s episode, we will be asking the hard questions about narcissism with Dr. Jaime Zuckerman, licensed clinical psychologist and expert in narcissistic abuse. Dr. Jaime will help us understand the difference between a person with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, narcissistic tendencies, or defensiveness. If you think you may be a child of a narcissistic parent, Dr. Jaime shares ways to navigate that relationship. And if you’re the friend of someone you feel may be in an intimate narcissistic abusive relationship, Dr. Jaime has some insights on how to be a supportive, available friend. Love bombing - sounds great, but is it really a good thing? Dr. Jaime will give us the details of love bombing and why you should be wary of this tidal wave of infatuation. All of the information Dr. Jaime shares with us today is eye opening and important to hear. Whether you’re in the dating world or a committed relationship, you’ll be given the tools to prevent getting into a narcissistic relationship, how to identify if you are in one, and know how to get out. Healing is important to us, so we’ve linked Dr. Jaime’s resources down below if you or someone you love needs them. Links & Resources:20% off at Vuori ClothingFree Shipping at GOODR with code ‘HERSELF’Get a free pack of Goodwipes!Follow Dr. Jaime Zuckerman on InstagramDr. Jaime’s Website and therapy group, The Z Group Listen to Dr. Jaime’s Podcast, Next Up: Narcissism with Dr. Z Purchase Dr. Jaime’s Workbooks; “Find Your Calm”, and “Find Good Habits”Let’s connect!HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastJoin our exclusive community for bonus episodes, extra video content, book club and more!HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyro

  • 285. Beyond the Group Chat: The Power of Real-Life Friendship with Anna Goldfarb
    Modern day friendships - why do they feel so hard? Did you know each of your friendships have an “about” section for your origin story? Why do I still feel lonely even though I have close friends?Friendships enrich our lives so much, but we understand that it can be hard to maintain old friendships and find the time to make meaningful new ones as busy moms! We are so pleased to have author, speaker, and seasoned journalist Anna Goldfarb on today’s episode to share her perspective on modern day friendships. While you may have several groups of friends (think friends from growing up, work friends, mom friends), those groups seldom overlap. Anna dives into WHY this has caused the new age problem of leaving us feeling lonely or isolated in friendships. We loved this idea she brought up about everyone having an “about section” for each of your friendships, and why that can actually help you to better understand your current friendship status and relationships with others. This episode is such a fun and energetic take on adult friendships that had us laughing along the way! We’ve talked about friendship plenty of times in other episodes, but this episode brought some new ideas forward. We’d love to hear what your takeaways were from today’s episode, and don’t forget to reach out to a friend and tell them you love them!Links & Resources:Free sample pack with purchase of LMNT10% off at BetterHelpJoin us on Patreon for bonus episodes, extra video content, book club and more!Follow Anna Goldfarb on InstagramAnna’s WebsiteJoin Anna’s Substack, Friendship Explained with Anna GoldfarbPurchase Anna’s Book; “Modern Friendship: How to Nurture Our Most Valued Connections” And check out this free excerpt of the book!Let’s connect!HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastJoin our exclusive community for bonus episodes, extra video content, book club and more!HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.
