I was honoured to chat to Shayla Christine of @heyshayla for this episode, as she had literally just given birth to her THIRD BABY, a beautiful son (after two daughters!) named Colford, and was about 3 weeks postpartum and rocking up to record from her newborn bubble (albeit less of a bubble third child round!) all the way from Minnesota, US.

Shayla is a mom of 3, YouTuber, content creator, influencer and entrepreneur, who started out full-time travelling and found herself full-time mom-ming for the first time in the midst of a global pandemic, and shares really amazingly relatable motherhood videos that strike the balance between acknowledging the challenges and tough moments of motherhood without being doom-and-gloom or mommy wine culture negative, and celebrating the joys and highs and how incredible motherhood is without toxic positivity or denying the struggles.

In the episode we jump into all things motherhood mindset and:

• going from full time travel to SAHM (stay at home mom / stay at home mum)
• first time mom life during covid
• the importance of partner support
• transitioning to being a mother of 3 children with her third baby
• choosing to (probably) be done at 3 babies
• exclusive breastfeeding challenges,
• transitions from 0-1, 1-2, and 2-3 kids,
• kids personalities and the impact that has on your parenting experience
• being on the same page as your partner
• logistics with 3 kids
• travel being actually easier with your third baby in some ways, but also some challenges
• perspective shifts with more babies and knowing how fleeting it is
• unsolicited advice
• do what works until it doesn’t
• finding your flow in motherhood
• worrying about yelling
• making mistakes and repairing after tough moments
• Shayla's new journalling guide to help you handle the challenges of motherhood and be the mum / mom you want to be
• deciding the kind of mother you want to be
• getting what you want out of motherhood
• travelling to Hawaii with multiple kids and how journalling made the process smoother
• relationship changes after 3 babies

and so much more!
