[NEW PODCAST EPISODE] Capturing Motherhood through Photography...
|
Hey, Reader. I hope you had a nice weekend. Mine was filled with rest, a dance competition, & getting rid of clothes that were very old or barely get worn. It was productive. On the show this week, I chatted with the owner of Moments & Co. - a premier newborn & maternity photography studio. Amy Pazur is a photographer who helps women archive the memories of their motherhood journey. Her passion for photography started at a young age & photographs have been her celebration through great times, and her calm during times of grief - including the loss of her first child. In this episode, Amy shares how she navigates chronic pain, motherhood, entrepreneurship & everything in between. Self-care resource"What Self Care Looks Like" is a deeply personal and empowering guide for mothers navigating the overwhelming realities of motherhood. Brittany Elliott unpacks the unspoken struggles of this transformative time—a period marked by exhaustion, uncertainty, and a shattered sense of self. She invites readers on a journey of reflection, exploring the challenges of losing and rediscovering oneself in the whirlwind of sleepless nights, shifting priorities, and uncharted emotional terrain. This book shifts the focus from chasing the elusive "old you" to embracing a new, evolving identity as a mother. Through heartfelt storytelling, practical tips, and thought-provoking questions, readers will learn how to prioritize rest, reconnect with their inner selves, and define what self-care truly means in their unique motherhood experience. A must-read for any mom feeling lost, unseen, or unsure, "What Self Care Looks Like" offers a compassionate roadmap to thriving in the midst of life’s biggest transformation.
I appreciate you, Brittany |

Hey, Reader. 🛑 Stop trying to be everything to everybody. Your consistent pursuit of being the solution -- or coming up with the solution -- for everyone's problems is making you overwhelmed, exhausted & resentful. You can't be everything. You're not supposed to be. Even with your kids -- you're just supposed to be their mom. You don't have to have all the answers. You don't have to be the most creative or the most entertaining. You simply need to be present, healthy & happy. Your mental load...
Hey, Reader. I used to find it very difficult not to blame myself for things, even if they seemed outside of my control. I've learned that some things, even under our best intentions, just don't go our way. And that's ok. For example, I used to believe being punctual was a badge of honor. "I’m promotable, because I’m on time". Or "I’m a good friend, because I’m always on time". In reality, I just had less things in my way of being on time. When my daughter was a toddler, I would up at 5am and...
