The world feels louder when everything is framed as a side to choose.In this episode, Vanessa explores the emotional and relational impact of binary thinking: in culture, in parenting, in advocacy, and in how we judge one another. She reflects on the invisible pressure to be seen as “good,” “aware,” or “on the right side,” and how that pressure can quietly shape our nervous systems and our relationships.Drawing from her own experience with perfectionism and moral identity, Vanessa looks at what happens when we assign intent to people we don’t actually know, and how quickly silence becomes a story instead of a question.This episode isn’t about having better opinions. It’s about creating more room for complexity, for growth, and for the uncomfortable but human experience of not always knowing where you stand or why someone else stands where they do.

Ourselves.In this episode, host Carrie Parker sits down with Kelsie Schlese from @maidentomothertome for a deeply honest conversation about infertility, postpartum mental health, and the quiet pressure mothers carry to “stay positive” while navigating uncertainty.Kelsey shares her fertility journey, including what it meant to release control and shift toward trusting to conceive .. not as a mindset hack, but as a relational process with her body and nervous system. Together, they explore how language shapes our fertility and motherhood experiences, why online communities can either harm or heal, and how intentional use of social media can support (rather than drain) mental health.They also name the realities many mothers feel but rarely say out loud: seasonal depression, postpartum anxiety, and mom rage .... not as personal failures, but as nervous-system responses to overwhelm and isolation.This episode is an invitation to slow down, soften self-blame, and remember that motherhood was never meant to be navigated alone.If you’re craving more trust, less noise, and a community that meets you where you are .. this conversation is for you.Follow @madeintomotherhood for more honest motherhood conversations.Looking for community?

What happens when a mother tells the truth about how she feels?On this episode, Vanessa Spinarsky cracks open the viral Instagram post that stirred up thousands of reactions...both deeply supportive and shockingly judgmental.The post was simple:“I’m a parent who does not thrive with constant little-kid energy.”But the internet heard:“You don’t love your kids.”“You’re cold.”“You’re rejecting your children.”“You shouldn’t have had them.”In today’s conversation, Vanessa breaks down why mothers’ honesty is so threatening, the emotional labor that gets erased in motherhood, and the very real nervous-system limitations that social media refuses to acknowledge.This episode is a grounded, unfiltered look at what mothers actually experience behind the scenes and why naming those truths is not only allowed, but essential for our mental health, our relationships, and our kids’ emotional safety.If you’ve ever felt guilty for being overstimulated, overwhelmed, touched-out, or simply human…this episode will feel like coming home.

In this first Inner Room conversation, I sit down with Grant, a mental performance coach who blends truth, energy, and embodiment. We talk about the cold plunge moment that cracked something open in me, the emotional release that followed, and how that single experience revealed a template of masculinity I didn’t know I was missing.From there, this episode goes everywhere:→ what masculine and feminine energy actually mean beyond the internet clichés→ why so many men are emotionally stuck→ the real cost of suppressed emotions→ how to build trust with yourself→ breathwork, regulation, and surrender→ what women misunderstand about men (and what men miss about women)→ the bridge back to each otherGrant drops truth bomb after truth bomb ... the kind that makes you rethink how you show up in love, conflict, and in your own body. He shares the importance of self-reflection and trusting yourself and provides a few tips for emotional regulation.

In this episode, Vanessa Spinarsky dives into what most people avoid: the truth that change isn’t blocked by willpower... it’s blocked by invisibility. We can’t shift what we’ve never slowed down enough to see.Through honest stories, clinical insight, and the kind of emotional x-ray only a therapist-mom-human can bring, Vanessa explores how unconscious patterns quietly run the show: the over-functioning, the shutdowns, the chronic self-protection that once kept us safe but now keep us stuck.She breaks down why capacity: emotional, nervous-system, mental capacity is the foundation for growth, and why most of us try to change from a dysregulated place that cannot support transformation.This episode is an invitation to wake up from autopilot, meet your inner world with curiosity instead of criticism, and build the internal spaciousness required to actually witness your life… instead of just surviving it.It’s not self-help. It’s self-seeing.

I’m Vanessa Spinarsky a therapist, mom of two, wife, and human just trying to figure it out like everyone else. The Inner Room is where I bring honest, layered conversations about what it really means to be human: the messy, tender, in-between places we don’t always talk about.Motherhood cracked me open and taught me how to surrender, to feel it all, and to make meaning from the chaos. This space was born from that - a place to explore the soft, the raw, the contradictions we live inside.Here, I sit with guests (and sometimes just myself) to talk about identity, love, rage, creativity, gender, partnership, and the long, winding process of returning to ourselves. I’m not polished, I’m not performing... I’m just here to listen, learn, and remember that we’re all figuring it out as we go.Welcome to The Inner Room.

In this powerful episode of The Mama Healing Hub Podcast, hosts Vanessa Spinarsky and Alyssa Trittler sit down with trauma therapist and parent coach Mackenzie Kinmond for a raw and insightful conversation on what it truly means to parent from connection rather than control.Together, they explore the nuanced intersection between emotional attunement and behavioral guidance, unpacking why so many high-achieving parents struggle when their children’s needs don’t fit neatly into systems of order or logic. Mackenzie introduces the philosophy of connection-based discipline: a framework that views discipline not as punishment, but as a form of teaching, rooted in love, boundaries, and co-regulation.Mackenzie Kinmond, is a parenthood empowerment coach and therapist who helps overwhelmed parents move out of survival mode and rediscover real joy in their everyday lives. She works with parents who feel stuck in exhausting cycles of guilt, yelling, and anxiety, those who are giving everything they’ve got and still feel like it’s not enough. Through her trauma-informed, connection-based approach, she supports parents in building more confident, connected relationships with their kids and themselves, even in the middle of the messiness.🔗 Connect with Mackenzie on Instagram:@parenting_with_mackenzieJoin The Mama Healing Hub today and receive 30 days free → ⁠⁠themamahealinghub.com/join⁠⁠🌿 Follow along on Instagram: Stay connected with our community conversations, reflective art sessions, and upcoming events at ⁠⁠@themamahealinghubinc

From Costco shortcuts to stress-cycle completion, Adriana reminds us that health isn’t about overcomplicating things ...it’s about building simple foundations that last.Whether you’re exhausted from meal prep, struggling with self-care, or looking for motivation to start small, this episode will leave you with encouragement, fresh ideas, and a reminder that you don’t have to do it alone.Follow Adriana on Instagram: @cup.of.dri

This episode feels a little bit like pulling up a chair at our kitchen table. You’ll hear us in real time ... sharing what’s happening in our lives, what we’re wrestling with, and what we’re excited about.We talk about learning to work with our cycles (instead of against them), why time apart from our kids can actually make us better moms, and the way new professional adventures are lighting us up , like Alyssa stepping into doula training and Vanessa diving deeper into her book-writing process. Carrie opens up about the pull toward new healing practices, and together we swap stories about creativity, self-care, and giving ourselves permission to not have all the answers.Think of this episode as a mix of laughter, honesty, and those “me too” moments that make you feel less alone in motherhood. It’s not a masterclass. It’s not a checklist. It’s just us ...in the middle of the mess and magic.

In this powerful conversation, clinical psychologist and author Dr. Gilly Kahn joins us to talk about the often-misunderstood world of ADHD in women. Too often, ADHD is defined through the lens of restless little boys, which leaves girls and women misdiagnosed, mislabeled, and misunderstood.Dr. Kahn opens up about the emotional dysregulation so many women live with, the shame and “too muchness” they’re told to carry, and how community and compassion can shift the story. We explore why the diagnostic criteria still fails women, what it really feels like to parent while managing ADHD (in yourself or your kids), and why connection and validation matter just as much as tools and strategies.This isn’t a dry, clinical take...it’s honest, hopeful, and deeply human. You’ll walk away with practical insights, a new lens for understanding ADHD, and permission to stop blaming yourself for systems that were never built with women in mind.📖 Preorder Dr. Gilly Kahn’s new book Allow Me to Interrupt here: Simon & Schuster📸 Follow her on Instagram: @drgillykahn🌐 Explore more of her work: drgillykahn.com

September mornings are no joke. Between back-to-school chaos, missing shoes, forgotten lunches, and kids melting down (while you’re holding back your own), it can feel like you’re already behind before the day even starts. In this episode, we get real about the emotional weight of school transitions, why mornings feel so impossible, and what to do when you and your partner are on totally different pages.We’ll share how to stop rushing (without everything falling apart), what (dys)regulation actually looks like in real life, and small shifts that can turn chaotic mornings into something almost more calm. If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t be the only one losing it at 8 a.m.,” this conversation is for you.You’ll leave with:A way to feel less frazzled (even when everything’s going wrong)Tools for smoother communication with your partner in the morning jugglePermission to stop striving for perfect mornings and just show up realA reminder that your kids are way more resilient than you thinkBecause mornings don’t have to break you and you don’t have to do it alone.

In this raw and real conversation, Vanessa, Alyssa, and Carrie take mom guilt out from under the rug and shine a big ol’ light on it. We dig into where this guilt even came from, why it exploded in the 80s and 90s, and how it’s been cleverly used to keep moms overworked, under-rested, and constantly questioning themselves.We unpack the difference between rational guilt (the kind that can actually help you grow) and irrational guilt (the kind that slowly eats away at your joy), and share how we each wrestle with it in our own motherhood.This is not your typical “just let it go” chat. We’re asking harder questions....like who actually benefits from you feeling guilty all the time? And more importantly… what would it look like to parent from freedom and authenticity instead?If you’ve ever ended the day feeling like you didn’t do enough (even though you did everything), this one’s for you.🌿 Stay Connected With UsInstagram: ⁠⁠@themamahealinghubinc⁠⁠Join the Mama Healing Hub (free & paid spaces available): ⁠⁠www.themamahealing.com⁠⁠Mailing List: ⁠⁠Sign up here⁠⁠ to get updates on events, workshops, and healing resourcesCheck out our rebranded website: ⁠⁠themamahealinghub.ca

💭 Episode SummaryIn this tender and thought-provoking episode, Vanessa and Carrie explore the quiet grief that many mothers carry, the kind that often goes unspoken when we decide not to have more children. Even when the decision is clear and aligned, it can stir a deep ache: a longing for what could have been, a mourning of a phase now closing.They reflect on how social media complicates these emotions, how every child meets a different version of us, and why grief and joy can live side by side in motherhood. This conversation is an invitation to honour the complexity of transitions, redefine nurturing, and be radically gentle with ourselves as we evolve.🌿 Key TakeawaysGrief in motherhood isn't always about loss, it can stem from change.It's valid to grieve even when you're confident in your decision.Social media can distort or magnify emotions around motherhood milestones.Each child experiences a different version of their parent.Nurturing doesn’t end when we stop having children, it simply transforms.Grief is not the opposite of joy; often, they walk hand-in-hand.Giving ourselves permission to feel without fixing can be a healing act.Guest appearance mention: Listen to Vanessa’s debut on the Girls Gone Wellness podcast 🎧About The Mama Healing HubThis podcast is part of The Mama Healing Hub, a virtual network and supportive community created for moms who are navigating burnout, identity shifts, and the emotional complexities of modern motherhood.
