Postpartum Q&A (UNFILTERED)
2w ago00:52:50Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailGrab an ice miel and let's have some girl talk! I’m sitting down for a real, unfiltered post-party Q&A—covering the stuff everyone actually wants to know but woman don't really share the details out loud.We get into the realities of tearing during birth and what recovery really looks like (physically and mentally), plus honest talk about healing, timelines, and what surprised me most. I also share what dating looks like after having babies—how your mindset shifts, what you prioritize differently, and navigating confidence in a new season of life.On the parenting side, I’m breaking down how I manage life with both a toddler and a baby—from routines that help (most days) to the chaos you just learn to roll with. It’s a mix of practical tips, personal experiences, and a lot of “figuring it out as we go.”And we also talk about something deeper—how postpartum, while stretching and exhausting, can be such a blessing. It’s a season where God really shows up, refines you, and sanctifies you in ways you don’t expect. Even in the hard moments, there’s growth, purpose, and a kind of closeness with Him that changes you.If you’re postpartum, in the thick of motherhood, or just curious about what this phase really looks like behind the scenes, this one’s for you.Non toxic baby bottle:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BG3FG572/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_BKQD3S4129G1VHJPWHGX?linkCode=ml1&tag=aileeahcolgan-20&linkId=4f54ca203cbb03a5ddfc72bd23bbd128After Ease: https://amzn.to/4wnarRQCuramin: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0096DWO9C/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_X2H6C0EQAN2FAW9T390R?linkCode=ml1&tag=aileeahcolgan-20&linkId=4993f6ad0d82098359edc1954fa0f9ef🔗 Under the Sun Discount Codes:🦠 ROGERSHOOD: UTSP10🤰 GÜD PRENATALS: UTSP15👶 EVERYLIFE: UTSP10For more fun content you can also find us here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/underthesun...Aileeah: https://www.instagram.com/aileeahcolgan/Irene: https://www.instagram.com/ireneloveta/
Transcribe →Your Diet Is Wrecking Your Fertility | Lily Nichols RDN
3w ago01:01:53Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailGrab a mold-free iced coffee and let’s chat with LILY freaking NICHOLS.If I could get every single person to read one book, it would be Real Food for Fertility by Lily Nichols. It cuts through the cherry-picked “science” and gives you real data—and actually doable ways to support your body with nutrient-dense, real food. This conversation (and her book) is one I wish everyone could hear.If you’re trying to conceive—or just want to understand what your body is trying to tell you—this episode is going to connect some dots. Because fertility isn’t just about getting pregnant… it’s one of the clearest reflections of your overall health.We talk about how your everyday food choices directly impact egg quality, sperm quality, hormones, and long-term wellness. Even if you’re not trying for a baby right now, things like low energy, hormone imbalances, or low sperm quality can be early signs that something deeper is off.We also get into MTHFR—what it actually means (without the fear-based hype), how it affects methylation, and why it matters for both fertility and overall health. And we have a very real conversation about modern nutrition… including how “normal” diets and ultra-processed junk food may be quietly working against you.This episode is for anyone who’s been told “everything looks normal” but still doesn’t feel their best—or anyone who wants to take a more proactive, informed approach to their health.You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of how to support your body, improve egg and sperm quality, and rethink what “healthy” really means.Real Food For Fertility: https://amzn.to/42DmyMIReal Food For Pregnancy: https://amzn.to/3OBKg8WReal Food For Gestational Diabetes: https://amzn.to/3QQd6mv🔗 Under the Sun Discount Codes:🦠 ROGERSHOOD: UTSP10🤰 GÜD PRENATALS: UTSP15👶 EVERYLIFE: UTSP10For more fun content you can also find us here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/underthesun...Aileeah: https://www.instagram.com/aileeahcolgan/Irene: https://www.instagram.com/ireneloveta/

Apr 100:44:30Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailWhat if your baby isn’t “just fussy”… but actually trying to tell you something?In this episode, I sit down with cranial sacral therapist Lori Hendrickson to talk about a topic many parents have never heard of—but wish they had sooner.

Through gentle, hands-on work, CST aims to release that tension and help babies feel more comfortable, regulated, and calm.If you’ve ever wondered why your baby seems uncomfortable, arches, cries for hours, struggles to latch, or just never seems settled—this conversation might open your eyes to a perspective you’ve never considered.From mom to mom, woman to woman, this episode is about **understanding our babies better and exploring gentle, supportive options that help them thrive.**We cover:* What **cranial sacral therapy** actually is* Why so many babies are labeled “colicky”* Signs your baby may be holding tension in their body* How birth can impact a baby’s nervous system* What a CST session with a baby looks like* Why some babies relax almost instantly after treatmentIf you’re a new mom, expecting, or simply curious about holistic approaches to infant wellness, this is a fascinating conversation you won’t want to miss.Connect with Lori: https://www.instagram.com/lorihendricksoncst/Today's Sponsors: GUDTHINGS.COM CODE: UTSP15ROGERSHOOD.COM CODE: UTSP10🔗 Under the Sun Discount Codes:🦠 ROGERSHOOD: UTSP10🤰 GÜD PRENATALS: UTSP15👶 EVERYLIFE: UTSP10For more fun content you can also find us here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/underthesun...Aileeah: https://www.instagram.com/aileeahcolgan/Irene: https://www.instagram.com/ireneloveta/

Transcribe →Why "Kid Food" is Ruining Your Childs Appetite
Feb 400:29:44Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailI’m sharing how I raised my daughter to *not* be a picky eater—from what her very first foods were, to the intentional (and sometimes controversial) “rules” I followed during her first two years. This isn’t a list of expert-backed guarantees or a one-size-fits-all method. It’s what worked in our home, through consistency, conviction, and a lot of trust in the process.We’ll talk about why the idea of “kid food” never sat right with me, how early exposure shaped my daughter’s palate, and why I believe raising a good eater doesn’t happen by accident. It’s not about perfection or control—it’s about leadership, boundaries, and modeling a healthy relationship with food from the very beginning.I’m sharing this not to shame or compare, but to offer perspective, encouragement, and a reminder that our choices at the table matter more than we’re often told.**In this episode, I share:*** What my daughter’s first foods actually were* The “rules” I followed for the first two years (and why I don’t regret them)* Why short-order cooking creates more problems than it solves* How taste preferences are formed early* Why intentional feeding is an act of care, not controlIf you’re pregnant, in the thick of feeding a baby or toddler, or simply questioning what you’ve been told about kids and food—this conversation is for you.🔗 Under the Sun Discount Codes:🦠 ROGERSHOOD: UTSP10🤰 GÜD PRENATALS: UTSP15👶 EVERYLIFE: UTSP10For more fun content you can also find us here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/underthesun...Aileeah: https://www.instagram.com/aileeahcolgan/Irene: https://www.instagram.com/ireneloveta/
