  • As the adage goes, “Nine months on; nine months off.” It takes about 9 months to put on the baby weight during pregnancy, and roughly that amount of time to lose it. 🤰🏽🤷🏽‍♀️ . But for many women, it’s not that easy. I know I can relate after I had my twins! 👶🏽👶🏽 Now imagine having the added pressure of being in the spotlight on TV, which sadly does add 10 lbs, all while juggling life with a new baby. #nojoke #thejuggleisreal . Today's episode is with someone who has done it all and more, Mara Schiavocampo @marascampo. She’s a three-time Emmy Award 🏆 winning correspondent for @abcnews in #newyork, chart-topping podcast host, and best-selling author of her memoir “Thinspired,” which documents how she lost 90 pounds after her first child. Unbelievable, right?! Mara is a longtime member of the National Association of Black Journalists @nabj_uta. She lives in New York with her husband, two children, and their rescue dog. 🐕 . She’s here to tell us her story and give us some tips along the way. Get ready to get thinspired! 🤸🏽‍♀️🏋🏽‍♀️🙌🏽
  • "As I get older, the more I stay focused on the acceptance of myself and others, and choose compassion over judgment and curiosity over fear." -Tracee Ellis Ross . Thank you all for the birthday love. 😘🥰 I loved receiving your messages, texts, and calls. 🙏🏽 Every year, I marvel at the fireworks on #july4 and reflect on the year I had. This was my first birthday with my baby #3, Shrey. His name means 'marvelous' and he's our little firework 🎇. He's a burst of energy with an insatiable zeal for life. Whether he's clapping to himself, zipping through the living room with his walker, hugging (and drooling 😋) on his bhaiyya and didi, or staring back at me when I put him to sleep with a twinkle in his eye and a toothless grin so big he squints when he smiles. Having you, my darling son, was the best birthday 🎁 I could have ever asked for. . This year, this #independencedaybaby 🇺🇸 is channeling my independence. 💁🏽‍♀️ Rediscovering who I am and what fills me up so I can be a better person, friend, wife, and mom. I'm grateful to have so many loved ones in my corner, always. 💫
  • If you’re a mom of toddlers, you’ve probably had to deal with the dreaded tantrum. They happen all the time (at home and in public), and when we have an audience at the grocery store or at the mall, it’s the most embarrassing. thing. ever. They don’t call it terrible 2s for nothing! 🤦🏽‍♀️On this episode of "That's Total Mom Sense," we discuss how to deal with tantrums and really get to the root of the issue to prevent them from happening as often. 💯🌞 . Brooke Campbell @cre8tivmom is a licensed creative arts therapist and board certified trainer of drama therapy with fifteen years of experience. She’s the founder of Creative Kinections @creativekinections, an arts based community organization providing drama therapy to private clients, universities, hospitals, schools, non-profits, addiction centers, and domestic violence organizations.

In 2018, she received the Women's Excellence Award in Children's Advocacy and has been voted by parents as a Favorite Kids' Doc in the category of psychotherapy from 2013-2018. . Listen in as we uncover why toddlers feel the need to act out and what we can do to calm their fears and understand them at their level. May✌🏽be with you. Link in bio. 😉
  • Happy Birthday to this Euro-inspired, pakka Punjabi, 🐕 loving, foodie🍴& vino🍷afficianado. From holding your first born daughter (aka, moi! 😉), to giving me away at my wedding, to holding my daughter, and son, and other son (swipe ⬅️), I can't seem to process how years have flown by in the blink of an eye. . Krish, Suhana, and Shrey are lucky to have you as their doting Nana and we are excited to create more memories with you. ❤️ you Papa. Cheers! 🥂
  • Shortly after a new mother gets wheeled into her recovery room after labor and delivery, she’s handed her newborn baby, who’s fresh and clean from the nursery, and then gets a crash course on #swaddling. Pediatricians, nurses, and trusted moms the world over swear by @adenandanais, which are breathable, muslin blankets to swaddle your little one to sleep. 😴 . Today I am honored to have with me, the powerhouse behind this iconic baby lifestyle brand, who is a serial entrepreneur, author, wife, mother to four daughters, and thought leader, Raegan Moya-Jones @raeganmoyajones. . Raegan is the CEO and co-founder of @adenandanais. She founded the company with an initial investment of $15,000 in start-up capital in 2003, and grew it to $100 million business. The company sells over 2,000 products in 68 countries and has clients like @beyonce, @jennifer.garner, @djkhaled, @nph, and the Duchess of Cambridge @duchesscatherineofbritain, to name a few. . Raegan was named an #ernstandyoung #entrepreneuroftheyear in 2014 and aden + anais was named to the @crainsnewyork “Fast 50” list for three consecutive years and was recognized for a 338% growth rate and reported revenue of $41.7 million in 2013. 📈 . Raegan most recently co-founded Saint Luna, a premium moonshine brand. 🥃 . She sits on the board of directors for Hopeland, a nonprofit created to pioneer innovative solutions and build new partnerships to prevent family separation, reunify children, and mobilize a movement of families to support children who are growing up outside of family care. 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 . She is the author of “What it Takes: How I Built a $100 Million Business Against the Odds” and lives in Brooklyn with her husband and four daughters. . Enjoy our candid chat on how motherhood changed her and gave her a sense of purpose as she built her empire! 👸🏻
  • 6 years and 3 kids 🧒🏽👧🏽👶🏽 later, you're still my person. So thankful to have built this life with you. Happy anniversary, my ❤️. . PS - it's a good thing we got to celebrate today because we were tending to our sick kids 🤒🤮💩 on our actual anniversary. Never a dull moment, right? 😉 #96bulls 6/23/2013 . PPS - Funny that our last family photo was from Xmas! 🎄 It's usually you or me behind the camera, which is why I think we need a drone 📸 for our #partyoffive. #kthanksbye . 👗: @neeta_lulla (Indo-western gown) and @nishkalulla (wedding lehenga) 📷: @jaysethphoto
  • When I found I was pregnant, the first thing my sister in law gave me was the book - @whattoexpect. Since the early 80s, it’s been the bible of a mother-to-be’s🤰🏽 journey. And now we have apps like @thebump, @oviahealth, @webmd pregnancy, and more that walk us through each trimester week by week illustrating how our baby goes from being the size of a 🍒 to a 🍉 . But what happens next? How come we aren’t as informed about what happens during postpartum? I personally asked my OBGYN tons of questions as she is a fellow twin mom and had a lot of advice relevant to my situation. During my hospital stay after my c-section, I must have befriended at least 6 RNs who were taking care of me and asked them for their 2 cents. And of course, I was searching every topic under the sun on @google and @youtube from "how long does it take to recover from a c-section" to "when will my milk come in?" 🤷🏽‍♀️ . On this episode, we’re going to do a crash course on what to expect after you have your 👶 or babies and how to feel mentally prepared with all the things that happen after pregnancy - essentially, what to expect to expect when you’re done expecting. . My guest is intrepid mother of two, Dr. Taraneh Shirazian @drshirazian, Dr. Tara for short. She’s an ob/gyn, practicing gynecologic surgeon and an Assistant Professor at @nyulangone center in #nyc. Dr. Tara is recognized as an international leader in global women’s health and a frequently cited expert in this field. She is also an accomplished researcher focused on interventions designed to decrease maternal morbidity and mortality. She launched a company called @becausemommymatters because of a simple truth: women everywhere find it hard to focus on their own comfort and recovery during pregnancy and after childbirth. Mom takes care of everyone else, but who takes care of mom? @becausemommymatters has products including a pregnancy pillow and postpartum kit. Proceeds go toward @savingmothers, a non-profit also founded by Dr. Tara which aids mothers in developing communities because "no mother should die giving life."
  • Thank you for lifting us up, catching us when we fall, coming along for the ride and always encouraging us to have fun! We ❤️ you. Aap sabse achche ho, Papa! 👨‍👧‍👦👶🏈⚾🎢😜
  • A common theme moms face during postpartum is not being able to recognize ourselves and feeling a sense of loss of our former identity. It's all part of the drastic changes our body and lives are going through and the result can be postpartum blues, depression, or anxiety. . I wanted to be a mother more than anything, but even I went through many emotions in my head. I felt blessed to have kids, but also hated my body and how I had less time to myself, my work, and my interests. I remember looking in the mirror after I had my third baby (which was 18 months after I had delivered twins) and cried. I saw my weight gain and this puffy face looking back at me and I just didn’t feel like myself. If you have felt this way, know that you are not alone. . This episode is about rediscovering yourself (after kids) and finding your purpose. My guest, Caroline Zwickson, M.A. @carozwickson is a Certified Women’s Health & Life Coach and the creator of the Well Mama program. Caroline earned her Master in Counseling Psychology and obtained her Health Coach Certification from The Integrative Women's Health Institute. She is a passionate mother who supports fellow moms in creating holistic and thriving health as they rediscover their identity as a woman and mother. Her focus is to help clients create optimal hormonal balance and discover true emotional well-being through functional nutrition, positive psychology, transformative life coaching tools, and lifestyle adjustments. With Caroline’s expertise, her clients discover what it truly means to flourish in motherhood and in life physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Caroline lives with her husband and two sons in San Francisco. After speaking to her, I feel even more clarity and self honorship and I'm sure you will too. ✨ Thank you @carozwickson! 🙏🏽 . If you're in the NJ area, there is a free helpline for postpartum mothers who just need a listening ear or are grappling with issues much more severe and are seeking help. It's called the NJ Parent Help Line. It's there for you 24/7 and is FREE. 1-800-328-3838. Ask your doctor if your state has a similar service. We are in this together. ✊🏽❣️ (🎙️Episode - Link in bio!)
  • The more that you read 📚, the more things you will know 🧠. The more that you learn 📝, the more places you'll go 🗺️." -Dr. Seuss . Did you know: -800 million people around the world cannot read or write -There are millions of schools that lack the resources/books to teach children to read . There are many organizations dedicated to providing books and aid to kids who need it most including @milk.and.bookies, @littlefreelibrary, @bookaidinternational, @pajamaprogram, @firstbookorg, @reachoutandread, @kidsneedtoread, and @projectnightnight. Read up on them and give back in any way you can. . In order to inspire my kids to read, I'm a member of @bookroo_love (which was the best bday gift by @disha501 ❣️).
