On today’s show, we recap episode seven all the way back to episode one and allow you to be involved in shaping the episodes of the future. Who better to discuss than our very own producer Meghan Krmpotic? Meghan has always been passionate about the entertainment industry, leading to a successful ten-plus year career in television production. She worked on numerous number one Canadian reality TV shows before taking a break to realize her true dream job, being a Mama!

She is now a Regional Vice President with Arbonne International, an upcoming contributor in You’ve Got This Mama, Too, our incredible producer and mama of three awesome little ones Gracie (7) Alexander (4) and Frankie (2). Meghan and Sabrina start with recapping Episode 7- Canna Mommin’ they revisit some funny web browser stories and talk about their opinions and predictions on what legalization in Canada means. “At the end of the day, I think people mostly fear change,” says Sabrina. Meghan agrees and thinks this is a step in the right direction. Change can be a good thing. They move on to Episode 5 - Let’s Talk About Sex brought to attention by more funny web browser stories. This episode is really great because it dives into the practical and tangible tools around sex after babies.

This one hits home for Meghan having dealt with multiple personal losses. Meghan shares some of her journey into motherhood with the listeners and the ladies dig deep into mindset, positivity, and perspective when moving through a difficult season in life. “Sharing our journey is what is needed to move forward” Meghan claims and talks about how we need to support one another rather than compare our stories. We need to break out of the code of silence and shame. This is a good segue into speaking about Episode 4 - Mommin Is A Mindset. They revisit the concept of “feel the heal” from author Kristin Hallett. Meghan also talks about how mindset plays a huge part in mom-life “we are always a work in progress, it is important to remember that these little people are mirrors reflecting parts of you that need work”.  The Mamas talk about the big picture and Meghan gives the priceless advice that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Life is too short to not take everything as a learning experience. Sabrina quotes “grow through what you go through” and talks about how all things are temporary, the good and the bad. “We are always a work in progress, it is important to remember that these little people are mirrors reflecting parts of you that need work”. ~ Meghan Krmpotic Next, they reflect back to Episode 3 - Threenagers vs. Teenagers and discuss their boys turning four, starting school and all of the fun that comes with that season, reminiscing on the threenager days of not so long ago. They both question why starting school comes with an onslaught of illness and endless gross and again remind each other that this is all temporary much like the baby brain from e001.
