Freckled Foodie & Friends

On this episode, Briana and I discuss the intense similarities of our pregnancies, our thoughts on maternity leave as an entrepreneur, and shifting our lives with surprise pregnancies. We dive into not feeling connected to our bodies during pregnancy, our feelings of loneliness and depression at points, and the pivotal moments that finally gave us that feeling of excitement. We talk about going into labor, how you set the tone for your delivery room, and what to expect postpartum. We also get into loss of identity during pregnancy and stances on putting our children on social media.   Listen to the first FF&Friends episode with Briana as a guest here   Follow Briana Thompson Instagram:@bri.monee @spikedspin @true_rules Website: https://linktr.ee/bri.monee1 Podcast: True Rules Podcast   Follow me: Instagram: @freckledfoodie Website: freckledfoodie.com TikTok: freckledfoodie Twitter: @freckledfoodie Youtube: Cameron Rogers / Freckled Foodie Pinterest: Freckled Foodie   This episode was edited by Tim Flanz

On this episode, Sarah and I discuss the behind the scenes of being a content creator. We talk about the monetary components, creativity required, and hours spent working for yourself versus at a corporation. We compare our experiences transitioning from corporate America to the non-traditional workforce world, our qualms with “adulting”, and the reality of burnout. We also talk about Covid’s impact on people’s ability to plan, and using planning as a method to combat anxiety.    Follow Sarah Merrill: Instagram: @bigkidproblems @sarahamerrill_ Website: www.thebigkidproblems.com Podcast: Big Kid Problems   Follow me: Instagram: @freckledfoodie Website: freckledfoodie.com TikTok: freckledfoodie Twitter: @freckledfoodie Youtube: Cameron Rogers / Freckled Foodie Pinterest: Freckled Foodie   This episode was edited by Tim Flanzbaum  Hosted on Acast.

On this episode, Aleen, Sami and I discuss the problems with the “new year new you” mentality. We discuss our intentions going into the new year, our mindset changes, and coming to the realization that there is more to life than having the ideal body and constantly dieting. We talk about our continually evolving relationships with working on ourselves, and finally getting to a place where we are not comparing ourselves to others, especially before and during pregnancy.    Listen to my episode on the Diet Starts Tomorrow podcast here Follow Aleen and Sami Instagram: @aleen @sami @dietstartstomorrow Website: www.betches.com Listen to the DST podcast: Diet Starts Tomorrow Listen to their episode with Mindy Kaling here Follow me: Instagram: @freckledfoodie Website: freckledfoodie.com TikTok: freckledfoodie Twitter: @freckledfoodie Youtube: Cameron Rogers / Freckled Foodie Pinterest: Freckled Foodie   This episode was edited by Tim Flanzbaum  Hosted on Acast.

Before we have this conversation regarding cannabis, I must also acknowledge the racial injustice of the industry. As stated by the Last Prisoner Project, “no one should remain incarcerated or continue to suffer the collateral consequences of prohibition and the War on Drugs, which has and continues to disproportionately impact communities of color.” To donate to LPP, which is a nonprofit coalition of cannabis industry leaders dedicated to bringing restorative justice to the cannabis industry, donate here.   Follow Emma Chasen: Instagram: @emmachasen Website: www.linktr.ee/emmachasen   Follow me: Instagram: @freckledfoodie Website: freckledfoodie.com TikTok: freckledfoodie Youtube: Cameron Rogers / Freckled Foodie Pinterest: Freckled Foodie   This episode was edited by Tim Flanzbaum  Hosted on Acast.
