Better After Baby, with Saralyn Ward

Published: Oct. 21, 2019, 4 a.m.

Attention moms: especially new moms or expecting moms. We all know it’s important to find the resources we need to be able to take care of our baby in the womb, or learn what to expect while giving birth, or even what to do when the new squishy baby, right out of the oven, comes home.  But what about the mama? What happens to us? I think a lot of us were surprised about all the changes, fears, doubts, even anxiety that come after baby.  
 
Today I’m talking with Saralyn Ward. Saralyn is a mom of two little girls, with another baby on the way, and she’s an award-winning writer, TV host, and wellness advocate whose passion is to inspire and empower women to live their best life. She’s the founder of the Better After Baby mobile app and the force behind The Mama Sagas: a media company using stories to break down stigmas, building a village of compassionate and purpose-driven mothers. In June of 2018, Saralyn published Amazon’s #1 New Kindle Release in Babies and Toddlers: The Guide to Survive Motherhood: Newborn Edition – the first truly interactive and comprehensive digital resource for new moms. She writes for several publications including TODAY Parents, Thrive Global, Huff Post, Colorado Parent magazine, Dance magazine, elephant journal, 5280 Magazine, and Women of Denver magazine, and offers weekly tips to survive parenthood on live morning television. In 2017, Saralyn’s writing was honored with a Gold Medal by the Parenting Media Association.
 
Saralyn is a breath of fresh air. She’s bringing about change, and most of all, encouragement and empowerment for new moms. Even if you’re not a brand new mom, her platform, The Mama Sagas, will have something for you. Today we talk about Saralyn’s passion for helping moms, her Better After Baby app, and a shocker for me….women who have given birth do NOT have to pee their pants every time they laugh. What?
 
I love Saralyn’s energy, enthusiasm, and drive to help moms and create community.
