Learn how to simplify the beautiful chaos of parenthood. Our guest is Dr. Emily Spaeth, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, specializing in pelvic health, neonatal physical therapy, and body alignment. As the founder of Be Well Baby PDX, Emily brings her expertise in bodywork, yoga, and perinatal care to guide families through the most transformative time of their lives—pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
Emily shares her minimalist philosophy on parenting, emphasizing connection over clutter and intention over feeling overwhelmed. She explains how the simplest tools (i.e. breathing) can create profound growth for you and your baby. Together, we’ll discuss how to shift from purchasing “all the things” to prioritizing mindful connection and self-trust as parents.
We also explore:
- Why less stuff and more support lead to a stronger start for your baby.
- The myths around labor and postpartum that leave many parents unprepared.
- How trusting your body and intuition can simplify even the most overwhelming moments.
Whether you’re a new parent, expecting, or simply curious about a minimalist approach to family life, may you find something valuable in our conversation.

Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s both challenging and transformative. Our guest today is Dawn Albert, CEO and founder of Courage to Answer, a coaching business dedicated to helping white people build racial resilience so they can be true advocates for racial equity. She shares her views on understanding and unlearning the biases that shape people's identities, particularly as people with privilege. Dawn’s story is one of courage and growth. She shares how unconscious biases influence our lives. And she outlines her simple yet deeply profound techniques for how to combat your own unconscious biases on your own. Together, we’ll discuss how bringing hidden thoughts to light can lead to meaningful change—not just within ourselves, but in the world around us.
We'll also explore how to step into greater self-awareness with kindness and compassion. And why self-love is about acknowledging the thoughts we’ve inherited, sitting with them, and choosing to grow from them. | ABOUT THE PODCAST: This minimalist wants more.
