Lauren Lobley: A Mother is Born

b"LA-based podcaster, chef and mother of two, Lauren Lobley is a savvy ambitious entrepreneur. I discovered her podcast The Mom Feed while doing research on Cassandra Troy Walker for my Creative Couples series. Lauren's ease behind the microphone makes her feel like a long-time friend.\\xa0\\nI chat with Lauren about her transition into motherhood, and her journey from boxed cake maker, to red velvet cake baker to Barbra Streisand. We talk about why Lauren is on a mission to provide support to millions of mothers. I also pick her brain about how she is growing her audience, and what she has learned after one year of podcasting. Her fearless desire to share her raw emotions that come with motherhood makes me laugh, cry and share like we are besties. Lauren's extensive research on the topic of motherhood makes her a teacher and a necessary resource.\\nLauren is a mother of 2 on a mission to support other mamas in this enduring journey through motherhood! A certified health coach, published cookbook author and yoga studio co-owner of 5 Point Yoga in Malibu, CA, Lauren's world was rocked off its axis when she became a mom in 2016 to her daughter, Madison Grace. She knew it would be challenging, but she wasn't prepared to be met with feelings that didn't seem welcome: resentment, anger, fear, a deep sense of loss and grief over her identity pre-child, and a sense of confusion as she tried to navigate who she was now. She identified an inexcusable lack of support by her care providers as a new mother and after the birth of her second child, Liam Edward, in 2019, she decided she wanted to be a part of a movement to change that. The Mom Feed Podcast was born just 6 months after her son was, and with it came raw, honest conversations with experts in all fields pertaining to motherhood and parenting. With new episodes every Thursday, The Mom Feed aims to be the virtual village that every mother needs as she steps into her role and navigates the inevitable transitions that come with motherhood.\\nYou can follow Lauren Lobley at The Mom Feed blog and on IG at The Mom Feed Podcast.\\nYou can follow me on IG and Flipflops on IG."
