Mom Brain - They Myths And The Science
Time flies, but the memories from our event, Mom Brain –The myths and the science (Oct 24, 2019) are as vivid and inspiring as ever! Thank you to all the amazing Mamas that found a way to rearrange their schedules and organize child care to come out and spend the evening with us! The room was filled to the brim and the energy was palpable. ▫️

We are so grateful for our passionate speakers:
-Dr. Kate Walsh @katewalsh_6
-Rene Gonzalez @bambinochef
-Amy Nguyen @diaryofahappiermombrain
Thank you for educating us and providing us with so much useful information and tools to navigate the mental, physical, emotional and societal challenges of motherhood.
Dr. Kate explained how our brains go through dramatic neurological changes during and after pregnancy and why. And, if you thought moms are innately good multi-taskers, think again – the truth is we simply have no choice but to do more work. Chef Rene talked about how food directly affects our brains and that the path to a healthy brain is a healthy gut (our yummy treats during this segment were very welcome). Happiness Coach Amy illustrated how our brains have a built in bias for negativity but that it is possible to rewire our brains for happiness by improving thought patterns and adopting positive behaviors.
Thank you to these beautiful Mamas whom we couldn’t have done without:
▫️Manija Mayel, the AMAZING Chef from @Scandischooljc for feeding us the most delicious Tuscan Bean and Lemon Stew (DM us for recipe if you didn’t catch it in our stories).
▫️The LOVELY @Vegansoulicious for providing the scrumptious vegan banana and apple/zucchini muffins.
▫️Our INCREDIBLE volunteers, Jean and Comora, who made everyone feel welcome and saw to it that every little detail and logistic was tended to. You guys ROCK!!!

And finally to our giveaway donors @AmyWestervelt, @JanceeDunn, @KateNorthrup for their awesome books, and to @DowntownMedspa for the Signature Facial. Thank you all!
