Resistance Training for Moms: How to Build Strength, Support Longevity & Feel Good in Your Body (with AJ Wiggins)

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode, I’m sitting down with fitness professional and founder of AJ’s Personal Training here in St. Pete, AJ Wiggins, to talk about something that becomes more and more important as we age — resistance training.

Because this isn’t just about building strength. It’s about supporting coordination, balance, endurance, power, agility, and metabolic efficiency — so we can move well, feel capable, and age gracefully.

And yet, so many women have been taught to fear lifting weights, rely on cardio, or believe it’s simply too late to start.

AJ brings over 15 years of experience working with women — especially in their 40s and beyond — and what I love about her approach is how supportive and sustainable it is. It’s not about doing more… it’s about building resilience in a way that actually fits your life.

In this conversation, we explore:

Why resistance training matters so much in midlife
The truth about “getting bulky”
How it supports hormones, metabolism, and longevity
What actually helps women stay consistent

This episode feels like both an invitation and a reminder — whether you’re just getting started, or you’ve been on this journey and want to reconnect with what matters.

Resistance training is something you can build and keep building. And it has the power to support you in living a strong, capable, and fully present life. 💪

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode of Wildly Well Mamas, I reconnect with herbalist and Ayurvedic practitioner Gray Dean to explore how herbalism can support modern motherhood in a grounded, practical way.

In Part I, we explored Ayurveda and how understanding your unique constitution (dosha) can bring more compassion and clarity to the way you care for yourself and your family.

Today, we build on that foundation and move into the world of herbalism—learning how simple, everyday herbs can support your nervous system, energy, hormones, and overall well-being.

You’ll walk away from this episode with practical, approachable ways to begin using herbs in your daily life, along with a deeper understanding of how to work with plants in a way that feels intuitive, safe, and nourishing.

This conversation helped me see herbalism in a whole new light—not as something complicated or intimidating, but as something deeply intuitive, nourishing, and accessible.

I’m so grateful for all of the wellness tools we’re collecting and sharing through this podcast, and I truly hope they support you in feeling more grounded, empowered, and at home in your body. 🌿

In this episode, we explore:

• How herbalism fits into modern motherhood

• Herbal energetics (hot, cold, moist, dry)

• Nourishing herbs for moms (like nettle & oat straw)

• Simple remedies for sleep, stress, digestion, and immune support

• How to start incorporating herbs into your daily rhythm

• The importance of safety, especially during pregnancy

• Building an intuitive relationship with plant medicine

This is Part II of a two-part conversation. If you haven’t listened to Part I, be sure to start there for a foundation in Ayurveda and the doshas. 🙌

🌿 Resources from this Episode

Gray put together a beautiful handout covering the herbs we talked about in this episode—especially helpful if you're just beginning your herbalism journey. Be sure to check out the clinical pearls! 🌿

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode of Wildly Well Mamas, I sit down with herbalist and Ayurvedic practitioner Gray Dean to explore how Ayurveda can support motherhood in a grounded, practical way.

We talk about what Ayurveda actually is, what the doshas mean, and how daily and seasonal rhythms can support our energy, hormones, and nervous system.

Learning about Ayurveda has deeply helped me understand myself — and honestly, the people in my world — with more compassion and clarity. If you’ve ever been curious about the doshas or felt drawn to seasonal living, this is a beautiful and approachable introduction.

In this episode, we explore:

• What Ayurveda is (without the overwhelm)

• How understanding your dosha supports balance

• Daily vs. seasonal rhythms

• Why living in alignment with nature supports emotional well-being

• Simple rhythms you can begin today

This is Part I of a two-part conversation. In Part II, we’ll dive deeper into herbal allies for everyday motherhood. 👏👏👏

Returning to Yourself: Nervous System Healing, Brainwaves & Microdoses of Connection with Dr. Melissa Sonners

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 05:00:00 -0400

Why does everything feel like too much sometimes? 😩

The noise.

The decisions.

The constant needs.

The mental tabs you can’t seem to close.

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Melissa Sonners — nervous system guide, brainwave educator, and author of The Connection Code — to explore what’s really happening beneath that “too much” feeling.

We unpack why overwhelm isn’t a sign that you’re failing… it’s a nervous system response. Why overthinking and irritability are states of protection. And how understanding nervous system regulation changes the way we approach burnout, reactivity, and emotional exhaustion in motherhood.

Melissa shares how simple two-minute “microdoses” of connection, rhythm, light exposure, and play can gently guide your body back toward safety — without adding more to your plate.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, reactive, or constantly on edge, this episode will help you understand your body instead of fighting it.

Because healing isn’t about becoming someone new.

It’s about returning to yourself. 💛

Honoring the Emotional Load of Motherhood with Perinatal Therapist Kelly Dzioba

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 05:00:00 -0400

Motherhood carries an emotional load that often goes unseen — and unspoken.

In this episode of the Wildly Well Mamas Podcast, I’m joined by Kelly Dzioba, a perinatal therapist at Sunshine City Counseling, for a grounding and compassionate conversation about the emotional landscape of motherhood.

Together, we explore perinatal mental health across the full spectrum — from fertility and pregnancy to postpartum and beyond — and talk about the subtle signs of emotional overwhelm that so many women experience but rarely name. We discuss postpartum anxiety, burnout, rage, guilt, and the invisible mental load mothers carry, often while telling themselves they’re “fine.”

This conversation offers language, validation, and clarity — without shame or alarm — and gently reminds you that emotional health matters just as much as physical health, and that support can be both accessible and deeply human.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, emotionally stretched thin, or unsure whether what you’re experiencing is “normal,” this episode is for you.

✨ In This Episode, We Cover:

What perinatal mental health truly includes
Common (and often overlooked) signs of emotional distress in motherhood
Why rage and irritability are often signals, not personal failures
The mental load mothers carry — and how it shows up emotionally
How to prepare for postpartum support beyond physical nesting
What therapy can look like when it feels safe, grounding, and supportive
Why asking for help is a strength, not a weakness

Birth as a Spiritual Portal: An Unconventional Birth Story with Kristin Anderson

Sat, 24 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0400

We hear so many stories of fear and crisis when it comes to birth.

This episode offers something different.

In this conversation, I sit down with Kristin Anderson — trauma-informed life coach, intuitive spiritual guide, and photographer — to share an unconventional and deeply spiritual birth story.

Rather than a how-to or a teaching episode, this is a story-led conversation that invites reflection on birth as a spiritual portal, the mystery of time and consciousness, and the ways birth can shape a woman’s understanding of her body, intuition, and inner power.

This episode is for the woman who feels called to hear a more expansive, reverent perspective on birth — whether she is pregnant, postpartum, healing, or simply curious about what else is possible.

✨ A gentle note for listeners:

Kristin shares an empowering and unique birth story in this episode. If your birth unfolded differently than you hoped, this conversation may stir emotion. All birth stories are sacred. This episode is offered as a story — not to be compared to — but to gently inspire hope and expand what feels possible when it comes to the magic of birth.

Healing Through Relationships While Raising Kids with Emmanuela Mujica

Sat, 17 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0400

In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Emmanuela Mujica, a certified spiritual life coach and relationship expert, to explore what it really looks like to heal through relationships while raising kids.

We talk about how motherhood can become a powerful catalyst for healing — inviting us to turn inward with compassion, tend to our own unmet needs, and show up more consciously in our partnerships and families. Emmanuela shares her personal journey as a mama of four in a blended family, along with psycho-spiritual insights that weave together emotional healing, self-love, and sacred communication.

In this episode, I wanted to offer both hope and practical tools for mothers navigating the emotional load of parenting, partnership, and personal growth. My hope is that this conversation reminds you that healing doesn’t have to happen alone — and that connection begins by gently turning back toward yourself.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

How healing unfolds through relationship — with yourself and others
What psycho-spiritual healing looks like in real life and motherhood
Simple ways to practice self-love while caring for others
How conscious communication can strengthen connection at home
Why support and self-compassion matter so deeply on the healing journey

🌿 If you’re feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or longing for deeper connection in your relationships, I hope this episode feels like a soft place to land — and a reminder that healing is possible, even in the midst of motherhood.

Why Am I So Tired All the Time? Stress, Hormones & Functional Medicine for Exhausted Moms — with Belinda Ruiz

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0400

I’m so honored to welcome Belinda Ruiz back to Wildly Well Mamas. In this episode — part two of our three-part functional medicine series — we dive into a conversation that feels especially timely for so many moms right now.

Belinda Ruiz is a Family Nurse Practitioner and the founder of B Holistic Health, a concierge-style virtual functional medicine practice. Her journey into integrative health began after losing her mother to liver cancer and navigating her own experience with adrenal fatigue and depression — experiences that shaped her passion for helping others heal at the root.

In this conversation, we talk about chronic fatigue, anxiety, and burnout — the kind of exhaustion that doesn’t go away with sleep and often gets dismissed when labs come back “normal.” Belinda helps us unpack how stress, nervous system imbalance, hormones, and nutrition quietly drain our energy, and how functional medicine looks at the body as a whole to uncover what’s really going on.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

Why exhaustion is so common in motherhood
How stress impacts energy, hormones, and the nervous system
Why conventional labs often miss the root cause of fatigue
Simple ways to support energy, including blood sugar balance and protein intake
How breathwork and mindfulness can help regulate stress

If you’re feeling depleted, unseen, or stuck in survival mode, this conversation offers validation, clarity, and a gentle path forward.

Play: Remembering How to Be Here Now

Sat, 03 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode of Wildly Well Mamas, I’m exploring the often-forgotten power of play — and why it’s not something we outgrow, but something many of us slowly forget.

In a culture that celebrates productivity and constant doing, I see so many women — especially mothers — resist play. I’ve felt that resistance myself. But play isn’t the opposite of growth. It’s one of the most natural ways back into presence, creativity, and resilience.

In this episode, I share personal stories and gentle science to show how play helps regulate the nervous system, awaken curiosity, and soften the places in us that have learned to stay tight and vigilant. I also explore whimsy, beauty, and everyday moments of play — and how motherhood invites us back into joy and connection.

This episode is an invitation to let life feel lighter — and to remember how to be here… now.

✨ In this episode, I explore:

Why adults (especially moms) often resist play
How play shifts the nervous system from survival into safety
The connection between play, creativity, learning, and adaptability
What whimsy looks like in everyday life
Simple ways to invite more joy and lightness into your days

Mindful Motherhood: Caring for Yourself While Caring for Your Kids with Britt Addis

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 05:00:00 -0400

What does it really mean to care for ourselves while caring for our children — not someday later, not when things slow down, but alongside motherhood as it unfolds?

In this heartfelt episode of Wildly Well Mamas, I’m joined by Britt Addis, family nurse practitioner, St. Pete mom of two, and the heart behind Sunshine City with Kids — a community that brings families together through connection, exploration, and play.

Together, we explore mindful motherhood, wellness, and what it looks like to live consciously while raising children. Britt shares her personal journey through health challenges, motherhood, and building community, offering grounded wisdom on balance, authenticity, and honoring our limits. We talk about self-care not as something separate from parenting, but as an essential part of it — and how playfulness, presence, and support can radically shift our experience of motherhood.

This conversation is a gentle reminder that:

Taking care of yourself is taking care of your kids
Motherhood is dynamic, evolving, and deeply human
Health truly is our wealth
Community and authenticity are powerful forms of support
Play is not extra — it’s essential

If you’re a mama longing to feel more grounded, fulfilled, and connected — to yourself, your kids, and your community — this episode is for you.

Challenge: Choosing Growth Over Fear

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 05:00:00 -0400

Motherhood doesn’t just stretch our hearts — it stretches us to become more of who we really are.

In this soulful solo episode of Wildly Well Mamas, I explore the principle of Challenge as a not-always-welcome, but necessary catalyst for growth. And I’m not talking about the hustle-y, push-harder kind of challenge — but the kind that gently stretches your edges and supports conscious evolution.

In this episode, we explore:

Why motherhood is both joyful and deeply challenging — and why that’s okay
The difference between the comfort zone, growth zone, and danger zone
How real confidence and resilience are built in the growth zone
Why challenge isn’t about tearing yourself apart, but about stretching with intention

I also share personal stories from this year — including starting this podcast before I felt ready and embarrassing myself while speaking Spanish — to show how allowing yourself to be uncomfortable (and even a little bad at something) is often the doorway to becoming more yourself.

We explore how Challenge connects to — but feels different from — Play, and why community support matters when we’re doing brave things.

If you’ve been feeling called toward something new…

If you sense the stretch but hesitate at the discomfort…

This episode is an invitation to step into growth — gently, bravely, and together. 🙌

✨ Plus reflection questions woven throughout the episode to support your own next edge.

Honor: What Happens When We Treat Life as Sacred

Sat, 29 Nov 2025 00:15:00 -0400

If you’ve been feeling a little disconnected lately — a little rushed, a little empty, or like you’re moving through your days on autopilot — this episode is for you.

In this heartfelt solo episode, I explore the quiet, often-missing ingredient so many of us are longing for without realizing it: reverence.

A sense of meaning.

A return to presence.

The lost art of honoring the moment you’re already in.

I share personal stories from my own life and I walk through what it means to honor your thoughts, your body, your path, the present moment, and the sacred ordinary that fills your life every day.

In this episode, I explore:

✨ Why so many moms feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or numb

✨ What we’re actually missing (it’s not more time or more productivity)

✨ How grief, slowness, and presence can bring us back to center

✨ The Wildly Well principle of Honor and why it underpins everything

✨ Simple ways to return to reverence in the midst of real-life motherhood

✨ A tender journal and reflection practice to carry into the week

Reflection prompts I offer in this episode:

✨ What is asking to be honored in my life right now?

✨ Where have I been rushing past the sacred?

✨ What small, simple thing do I want to honor today?

Your Body Is Whispering — Are You Listening? A Gentle Guide to Protecting Your Health

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 05:00:00 -0400

At 28, I was diagnosed with cancer. What felt like my body “breaking down” was actually my body begging me to listen. That experience became the catalyst for everything I teach today — from non-toxic living, to nervous system care, to honoring the quiet signals our bodies send long before they ever scream.

In this episode, I walk you through the layers of protection that have changed my health and the well-being of my family:

🌿 Supporting the body’s natural detox systems

I talk about how I nourish, hydrate, move, sleep, and care for my gut to help my body do what it’s already designed to do.

🏡 Lightening the toxic load at home

I share the small, sustainable swaps I made after cancer — from candles and cleaning products to food and water — and why these everyday choices matter.

📱 Balancing the invisible stressors we forget about

Like EMFs, blue light, and constant stimulation. I also share the simple habits that help me feel grounded, clear, and energized.

✨ Protecting my peace and nervous system

Because protection isn’t just physical. It’s emotional, energetic, and relational too.

My intention with this episode isn’t to overwhelm you or make you fearful. It’s to give you awareness, support, and doable steps you can start today — one tiny shift at a time.

At the end, I guide you through three reflection questions you can journal about or think about on your walk or before bed, helping you bring this work into your everyday life.

If you’re ready to listen more closely to your body’s whispers, this is the episode for you. 🫶

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode of Wildly Well Mamas, I chat with my friend Alyssa—a school psychologist and mom of 2 school-aged kids—about the messy, beautiful reality of raising children who are self-aware and internally motivated when it comes to wellness.

Alyssa shares how she uses reflective parenting and emotional intelligence in both her work and her family life. From asking reflective questions that help kids identify their feelings, to modeling self-awareness herself, Alyssa offers practical tools for creating safe spaces, honoring children’s needs, and supporting them in making choices that feel right for them.

We also talk about the unique dynamics of bicultural family life, conflict resolution with compassion, and why teaching kids to trust their own inner wisdom is one of the greatest gifts we can give them.

This conversation is packed with insights for parents who want to raise kind, conscious kids while also deepening their own self-awareness along the way. 🌿

From Vegetarian to Nutrivore: Redefining My Relationship with Food & Reclaiming My Energy

Along the way we’ll explore how nutrition shapes not just our bodies, but our energy, hormones, longevity, and even the legacy we pass on.
