  • Does fashion affect your health? While it’s not what you wear, it’s who you are; however, sometimes what you wear affects who you are for the worst. Today Lauren chats with Alden Wicker of EcoCult about what is in your clothing and why it matters what you wear. Tune in for ways this will affect your children too, as well as how we can make the clothing industry better for everyone, plus changes you can implement with your wardrobe now. The biggest deep dive comes with Wicker’s book “To Dye For,” which BGMAD has read and recommends.

  • Ever deal with anxiety, especially as a parent? Today Lauren and Nick are discussing the ebbs and flows of parenthood and worrying.

Though it does pertain to today’s topic, the tiff ran long and the episode topic begins around 21:00 minutes.

  • Our second episode in the Dear Mama series, Nick and Lauren look back on the newborn and postpartum phase and discuss what they would have done differently and what they learned. You can hear the tiredness in their voice currently, but does it compare to the newborn stupor?! Listen to decide for yourself . They are a little chatty in the beginning. To head to the “meat’ of the episode, fast forward to around 13:00 for introducing the episode and around 17:00 for the dialogue.

  • An honest conversation around the joys and challenges of raising a toddler (or two) so you know you’re not alone
 unless you want to be! We chat not only about the hardships of these transitions in regard to parenting, but also how it has affected us as partners and husband and wife. Also, can someone tell us the key for getting stains out of clothing? We assume keeping them stain free is not an option. Ah, the joys of childhood!

  • Part two of a conversation about body knowledge regarding our children in both the mental and physical space. Special guests author Kayla J.W. Marnach and body neutral personal trainer + coach entrepreneur Kami Blease discuss SA prevention, body positivity + neutrality, resisting societal norms like diet culture, food consumption, exercise, and more. Tune in to see how you can retrain your (adult) brain and unlearn body negativity and trauma, so you can try to not only limit your child's exposure to them, but build a foundation that can withstand it.

  • Being productive is good until it isn't. If you put your worth in how productive you are, then you are in for a lot of failure, especially if you are a parent. Today we discuss how busyness shouldn’t be a badge of honor and suggest that you pause and consider what you want to be known for. That is what the weight of your attention should hold, not some never-ending to-do list.

Nod along as we discuss how saying (or not saying) “I’m sorry” affects your children, plus thoughts and ideas on how to get your kids to apologize and teaching them what saying “I’m sorry” really means and why it is necessary.
