  • S1 Ep17: Motherhood, Mental Health, and the Power of Support — with Dowa Health
    Nov 3 2025

    Send us a text

    When support shows up, everything changes. In this powerful conversation, Jess sits down with Stella Falkner, founder of Dowa Health, to explore what happens when maternal depression and anxiety don’t end after the first year of motherhood — and how Dowa is transforming the way moms access care.

    Stella shares her deeply personal journey through maternal mental health challenges and how it led her to create Dowa, a wellness platform designed to meet mothers where they are — with evidence-based, on-demand tools and compassionate experts who understand the emotional, physical, and mental load of motherhood.

    Together, Jess and Stella explore why so many moms still suffer in silence, how to find real, lasting support, and what it looks like to feel connected again.

    If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed or unseen, this conversation offers a reminder that you’re not alone — and that support can start with one small step.

  • S1 Ep16: When Joy Feels Out of Reach in Motherhood (and How to Find It Again)
    Oct 13 2025

    Send us a text

    Do you love your kids but secretly struggle to enjoy motherhood? You’re not alone. In this honest episode of The Nurture Network, parent coach Jess Baldenhofer dives deep into why motherhood can feel so heavy—even when you love your child fiercely.

    You’ll learn what’s really happening in your nervous system when parenting feels overwhelming, how childhood conditioning and “performing for love” patterns disconnect you from joy, and how your kids can actually become your teachers in emotional regulation. Jess shares relatable mom-life stories, nervous system science, and powerful tools to help you move from survival mode to presence, connection, and real joy.

    If you’ve ever thought, “Why don’t I enjoy motherhood the way I thought I would?”—this episode will help you find your way back to yourself.

    Sep 18 2025

    Send us a text

    If you’ve ever felt stuck in your head, overwhelmed by your child’s big emotions, or unsure how to stay calm in the chaos—this episode is for you.

    In this conversation, Jess is joined by psychosomatic practitioner Lauraine Mann to explore how your body holds the key to parenting with more calm, connection, and confidence. You’ll learn why unprocessed emotions get stored in the body, how your nervous system shapes your reactions, and simple body-based tools you can use daily to reset.

    What you’ll hear:

    • What “somatic” really means and why it matters for moms
    • The nervous system’s role in handling your child’s big feelings
    • Tiny, doable somatic practices to reduce stress in everyday parenting
    • How to redirect your child’s hitting or yelling into safe, body-based outlets
    • Ways to model emotional regulation and build your child’s resilience

    This is your invitation to stop overthinking, reconnect with your body, and discover the missing piece that can transform your parenting.

    Lauraine Mann is a Psychosomatic Practitioner based in New York, offering in person and virtual 1:1 and couples sessions. With a Master's Degree in Psychology, a Diploma in Somatic (Body-Based) Therapy, and over 20 years of experience in energy healing and meditation facilitation, she offers a compassionate and intuitive space where your inner experiences and outer relationships can be explored with curiosity and care. Lauraine's work invites personal, interpersonal, and societal awareness, supporting transformative change toward a more embodied, authentic, and fulfilling life.
