[party in my plants] 131: How to Mom-Hack Your Way to Healthy Sanity (applicable if you’re a mom to a child, a dog or a cactus) with Dr. Darria Long

Today’s guest seems like that woman who has it allllll figured out. That’s probably because Dr. Darria Long IS that woman who has it all figured out! :-) This is a woman who’s a successful ER doctor and ON TOP of that, a regular media expert, author and MOM. Or MOMMY -- I dunno what her kiddos call her. I met Darria backstage at The Dr. Oz Show! She was this peppy little lady who, at first glance from my peripheral in my makeup chair, I figured was some Zumba instructor about to make Dr. Oz all sweaty on TV, but then I learned that she’s a graduate of Harvard and Yale and someone Dr. Oz refers to as the "make-life-better-for-women-doctor.” Darria’s brand new book, Mom Hacks, is a simple, digestible and to-the-point guide for moms buckling under the pressure of raising little humans while maintaining the health of your regular-sized-human-self. Oh and if you’re only a mom to an animal..or a snake plant, don’t skip this chat because this sucker here is stuffed with tangible advice that’ll leave you deep breathing while saying “I’ve got this!” Which, deep breath, you do. Buckle up baby, this is a good one!   Press play to hear:   How to chill out with the whole parenting thing and give yourself a break A tip for losing the baby weight that ACTUALLY works A 12-second exercise that will make your day so much less stressful A long list of hacks that will make being a mom so much easier Reasons why the notion that being a parent means to sacrifice your health is complete BS What is a gratitude list and why you should start one Sneaky ways to outsmart picky eater kids Hacks to make dinner healthier and cooking easier And lots more!
