The Minnesota mom Googling at 2 a.m.
THIS PODCAST IS FOR
If you're pregnant, postpartum, or navigating those blurry first months of motherhood in Minnesota, this podcast was made for you. Made for Minnesota Moms is where Twin Cities experts and real local moms share honest, practical conversations about pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, mental health, feeding, and newborn life. No generic advice from a parenting blog written in another state. No Pinterest perfection. Just the kind of trusted, local support you actually need, whether you're in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Edina, or anywhere across the Twin Cities. New episodes drop regularly, so you always have somewhere to turn when the internet rabbit hole at 2 a.m. starts to feel like too much.
As a Minneapolis newborn and family photographer and mom of three, I asked Minnesota birth doula Terri Schelkoph what a birth doula actually does. The short answer is that she prepares you before labor, supports you and your partner during it, and checks in after baby arrives. She also uses the Body Ready Method to […]
Have you ever gotten to the end of the day and realized you’ve been overstimulated since approximately 7:15 a.m.? Between the kids needing something, the endless to-do list, and everyone wanting your attention (usually at the exact same time), sometimes it feels like your body never gets a chance to catch up. As a Minneapolis […]
As a Minneapolis newborn and family photographer and mom of three, I know how overwhelming pregnancy and postpartum can feel. There are so many questions, so many changes, and somehow never enough time to figure everything out (especially when you’re running on very little sleep). That’s why I started Made for Minnesota Moms, to connect […]
As a Minneapolis newborn and family photographer and a mom of three, I know how loud the food advice gets. Between social media, mom groups, and pregnancy apps, we’re constantly told what to eat. Skip the deli meat. Eat for two. Take nine supplements (or wait, maybe none). So I wanted to ask someone who […]
I made birth plans with my babies. I took the hospital class. I filled out the form. I thought I knew what I wanted. And then I had a baby. If you’ve already given birth, you probably know exactly where this is going. Birth has a funny way of reminding us that we are not […]
As a Minnesota family and newborn photographer, I spend a lot of my time with moms who are running on empty and still showing up for everyone. And the longer I do this work, the more I hear the same thing between takes. I’m tired in a way sleep doesn’t fix. I can’t turn my […]
I'm a Minneapolis newborn and family photographer, a mom of three, and someone who has spent the last decade sitting on living room floors with brand new moms across the Twin Cities.
That's the real reason this podcast exists.
After hundreds of newborn sessions in homes from Edina to St. Paul, I realized I wasn't just there to take photos. Moms were asking me which lactation consultant to call, which pediatric chiropractor was worth the drive, whether the thing they were feeling at six weeks postpartum was normal or something to bring up at their next appointment. They were exhausted and smart and surrounded by information, but still not finding what they actually needed.
So I started picking up the phone and bringing those people to you.
Made for Minnesota Moms is a real conversation with a Twin Cities expert or local mom I'd send my own sister to. Doulas, naturopaths, chiropractors, lactation specialists, therapists, and the women who've already lived the thing you're Googling tonight. No fearmongering. No matching-pajama mom culture. Just trusted, local support for the moms who deserve it.
If you're pregnant, postpartum, or knee-deep in newborn life somewhere in Minnesota, you're in the right place.
