Do you want to reset your health, habits, and relationship with food? Do you have a healthier pregnancy? In this episode we dive into discussing Whole Mamas, and how we deal with our relationship with food, and how we prioritize our health and wellness as mothers, and in our families.
In this episode, I talk with Stephanie Greunke about her passion about maternal/paternal mental health as well as helping families set themselves up for success before the baby comes and navigating the transition to parenthood. She is the program director of Whole Mamas, so we discuss how Whole 30 works for pregnant women, and how this can set you up for a healthier pregnancy, and postpartum. Stephanie herself battled postpartum anxiety, so now we discuss the importance of building a community of moms who encourage each other and share their own experiences so moms know they’re not alone and have resources to feel empowered.
Questions I asked:
- What is Whole 30 and Whole Mamas about?
- Is Whole Mamas only for pregnancy?
- How important is it for pregnant women to keep their diet healthy?
- What tips do you have for women struggling with self-esteem during their pregnancy journey?
- How can exercise and pregnancy can work together?
- How can you prepare for parenthood, and being the maternal and paternal influence on the family?
