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, I spend a lot of time with moms in those early, raw days after baby arrives. And the more conversations I have, the more I realize how much we just accept as “normal” when it really isn’t. The pain we push through. The mental load we carry. The […]

If you’ve listened to Made for Minnesota Moms before, you know the usual setup. I sit down with a Minnesota woman who supports moms through pregnancy, birth, or postpartum, and I ask her everything. This episode is different. My business coach, Colie James, took the host seat and interviewed me instead. It felt a little […]

As a Minneapolis newborn and family photographer, I spend a lot of time with moms in the middle of real life. And the more I talk to women, the more I realize how much of motherhood gets normalized that really shouldn’t be. The leaking, the pelvic pressure, the pain that shows up years after you […]

As a Minnesota family and newborn photographer, I get to witness so many of the most tender moments in a family’s life. And the more I talk to moms, the more I realize how much of the postpartum season gets glossed over. We spend months preparing for baby. The gear, the nursery, the birth plan. […]

As a Minneapolis newborn and family photographer, I get to spend a lot of time with families in the middle of real life. The messy, beautiful, exhausting, wonderful parts. And one thing I hear from moms constantly is that they want places to go with their kids that don’t feel like a survival mission. Places […]

As a Minnesota family and newborn photographer, I get to spend a lot of time around moms in some of the most tender seasons of life. And the more conversations I have, the more I realize how much of motherhood happens behind the scenes. The 2 a.m. Google searches. The exhaustion you can’t quite shake. […]
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.
