What does it really mean to care for ourselves while caring for our children — not someday later, not when things slow down, but alongside motherhood as it unfolds?

In this heartfelt episode of Wildly Well Mamas, I’m joined by Britt Addis, family nurse practitioner, St. Pete mom of two, and the heart behind Sunshine City with Kids — a community that brings families together through connection, exploration, and play.

Together, we explore mindful motherhood, wellness, and what it looks like to live consciously while raising children. Britt shares her personal journey through health challenges, motherhood, and building community, offering grounded wisdom on balance, authenticity, and honoring our limits. We talk about self-care not as something separate from parenting, but as an essential part of it — and how playfulness, presence, and support can radically shift our experience of motherhood.

This conversation is a gentle reminder that:

1. Taking care of yourself is taking care of your kids
2. Motherhood is dynamic, evolving, and deeply human
3. Health truly is our wealth
4. Community and authenticity are powerful forms of support
5. Play is not extra — it’s essential

If you’re a mama longing to feel more grounded, fulfilled, and connected — to yourself, your kids, and your community — this episode is for you.

Motherhood doesn’t just stretch our hearts — it stretches us to become more of who we really are.

In this soulful solo episode of Wildly Well Mamas, I explore the principle of Challenge as a not-always-welcome, but necessary catalyst for growth. And I’m not talking about the hustle-y, push-harder kind of challenge — but the kind that gently stretches your edges and supports conscious evolution.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why motherhood is both joyful and deeply challenging — and why that’s okay
• The difference between the comfort zone, growth zone, and danger zone
• How real confidence and resilience are built in the growth zone
• Why challenge isn’t about tearing yourself apart, but about stretching with intention

I also share personal stories from this year — including starting this podcast before I felt ready and embarrassing myself while speaking Spanish — to show how allowing yourself to be uncomfortable (and even a little bad at something) is often the doorway to becoming more yourself.

We explore how Challenge connects to — but feels different from — Play, and why community support matters when we’re doing brave things.

If you’ve been feeling called toward something new…

If you sense the stretch but hesitate at the discomfort…

This episode is an invitation to step into growth — gently, bravely, and together. 🙌

✨ Plus reflection questions woven throughout the episode to support your own next edge.

This week, I get to share a conscious conversation with Jessi DeLeo — a couples therapist who blends emotional intelligence, nervous-system awareness, and her lived experience as a neurodivergent mom raising a neurodivergent child. Jessi has a gift for making relationship tools feel accessible, grounding, and truly supportive in the real, messy seasons of partnership and parenthood.

Together, we explore how to pause with love during conflict, communicate your needs without shutting down, and build emotional safety in your relationship — especially in the early years of raising little ones.

You’ll learn:

• How to recognize nervous system overwhelm

• What a healthy “pause” actually looks and sounds like

• Simple scripts to use during conflict

• How to repair + reconnect after rupture

• Practical tools for emotional regulation

• How motherhood + neurodivergence shape communication

A grounded, compassionate conversation for anyone wanting more emotional clarity, ease, and connection in partnership.
