I love theme nights! Keeps my thoughts organized around planning and then we just swap out the protein, carb, veg, switch in new sauces, dips and seasonings to keep things not boring. Ie. Sunday: Italian (Chicken Alfredo - use rotisserie chicken, frozen broccoli, jarred sauce) Monday: Sheet pan - chicken sausage, variety of veggies and potatoes, toss in oo and pesto or a fun seasoning mix, switch it up and make it Mediterranean style with hummus and tzatziki for dipping, Tuesday: Tacos or quesadillas (use rest of rotessrie chicken) lots of toppings to mix and match, Wednesday: Asian stir fry with chicken or shrimp, mixed veg put over microwave jasmine rice jarred sauces, Thursday make your own pizza night or breakfast for dinner!

I recommend all moms get a referral for pelvic floor PT postpartum. There are so many changes that your body went through that it’s important to get an evaluation to find any deficits you might have lingering that could lead to dysfunction long term if not addressed. Recovery from a C-section vs vaginal deliveries can have some differences, but also a lot of similarities.

If you don’t have access to a pelvic floor PT, I recommend doing some sort of core/pelvic floor recovery program to build a solid foundation prior to jumping back into your regular workouts.

The Raise with Strength - Postpartum Course is a great option that consists of 3 workouts per week that average about 20 min. It starts easy enough to start before 6 weeks if you feel ready and ends with light resistance work to gradually ramp you up. It also includes lots of educational information regarding when you should see a pelvic floor PT for a full assessment. Strengthdignitywellness.com/courses

***SSRI Medications & Your Sex Drive: What You Need to Know

If you're taking Lexapro or other SSRI medications for anxiety or depression, it's important to be aware that a diminished sex drive can be a common side effect. While these medications can be life-changing for mental health, they may also impact libido, arousal, and overall sexual satisfaction.

Why This Matters:
A healthy sex life is an essential part of mental well-being, helping to boost mood, reduce stress, and strengthen emotional connections. If you’ve noticed changes, you’re not alone—and there are options!

What You Can Do:

Speak with your healthcare provider about potential adjustments or alternatives.
Consider lifestyle changes, supplements, or other medical interventions.
Book a consult with us to explore solutions tailored to your needs.
Your mental health and overall well-being should never come at the expense of your quality of life. Let’s find the right balance for you!

The secret? You don’t do it all—at least not all at once.

1️⃣ Expectations & Balance
Trying to “do it all” is unrealistic. Instead, focus on what truly matters. Prioritize tasks, set realistic expectations, and learn to say no when needed. Balance isn’t about doing everything; it’s about doing the right things at the right time.

2️⃣ Accepting Imperfections
Perfection is an illusion. Some days will be smooth, others will be chaotic, and that’s okay. Give yourself grace—progress matters more than perfection.

3️⃣ Breathe (Literally!)
When stress creeps in, take a moment. Inhale for four counts, hold for four, exhale for four. A simple breath can reset your mind and body, helping you move forward with clarity.

4️⃣ Small Wins, Big Impact
Celebrate the little victories. Whether it’s finishing a project, making time for yourself, or just getting through the day—it all counts.

You are enough. You are doing enough. And you don’t have to do it all to be amazing.

My son used to struggle with this a lot. We found if we kept to that sweet spot of not putting him to bed too late, they went away.

Hi @MotherShip I’m glad you asked about this. It sounds like he may be vying for more power/control in the world. It’s common at this age for kids to stop responding to “can you please…” or “hey. You need to…” if we are sort of making a lot of requests or corrections through the day. Some things that may help include:

Bringing him to the table - to get his ideas for how it can go better. Ie. “Hey. I notice you saying ‘no’ a lot. So what ideas do you have for how we can make those situations better?” (Note - he may ask you to stop nagging or something like that. If so - consider option 2)
arrive to come across a bit more like an equal, in making requests. Ie. “Hey. The table needs to get set. What part do you think you could help with and what part should I do?” “What ideas do you have for getting your room clean this weekend?”
May as many agreements in advance as possible. I find kids at this age are less likely to do things when asked in the moment- but more cooperative when it’s been agreed ahead of time. Is. If he has a daily chore and it is written on the fridge each day, or there is a container of chore options and he is asked to choose one each day - before tech or friend time, then when you are nudging him with a reminder it can sound more like, “remember- when you are done with the chore, u can absolutely head to your iPad” or “wait. I notice you are about to walk out the door and your chore isn’t done yet,”.

And here are few other thoughts on the topic : https://sustainableparenting.com/sassing-interrupting-and-pushing-boundaries-more-and-more/
