Moms Unbothered

In this episode of Moms Unbothered, we dive into real-life parenting topics every modern mom is Googling: elimination communication, early potty training, baby sleep patterns, developmental leaps, holiday food choices, and navigating major life changes.

Jordan shares her experience using elimination communication with her toddler, the science behind early potty signals, and why many parents are rethinking traditional potty training. We also talk about biologically normal baby sleep, attachment-focused parenting, and how to support sensitive, high-needs kids without losing yourself.

With the holidays around the corner, we break down gut-friendly food swaps, non-toxic cooking choices, and how to handle family gatherings when you eat differently. Plus: a behind-the-scenes look at moving into a new home, personal growth, and finding balance on social media as a mom.

If you're interested in gentle parenting, natural living, potty training tips, baby sleep science, holiday food choices, or navigating motherhood without comparison, this episode is for you.

Why does food in Italy make you feel amazing, but eating out in the U.S. leaves you bloated and tired? And how do wellness experts stay grounded when social media turns toxic?

In this episode of Moms Unbothered, we sit down with Dr. Halie Schoff, a chiropractor, clinical nutritionist, and founder of Sunna Wellness Elixirs, for an honest and hilarious conversation about food, minerals, mindfulness, and the real side of being online.

Dr. Halie opens up about her recent trip to Italy and what it taught her about slowing down, savoring meals, and why European food feels so much better. She shares her insights on the difference in food quality between the U.S. and Europe, the role of soil health and mineral depletion, and why most of us need to supplement even if we eat whole foods.

The conversation then shifts into a deeper, unfiltered look at toxic wellness culture and internet criticism—from trolls who nitpick every “non-toxic” choice to the pressure on creators to be perfect. Haley, Jordan, and Mary Kate discuss the importance of nuance, compassion, and doing the best you can without falling into all-or-nothing thinking.

Tune in to hear:
The truth about why food feels better in Europe vs. the U.S.
How mindful eating and slower living improve digestion and satiation
Why you still need minerals even with a healthy diet
Dealing with negativity and judgment in the wellness space
The difference between chiropractors and medical doctors (and why it matters)
