Your Cup of Joy with Ariana Joy Christie
Embracing New Seasons of Motherhood: Extended Breastfeeding, Body Confidence, and Building Deeper Connections with My Kids
28 Oct 2025
Welcome back to Your Cup of Joy! This episode is all about the ways I’ve been slowing down, choosing connection, and treating everyday moments like they matter, because they really do. I talk about the beautiful stage of motherhood I’m in: one where my kids have opinions, ask questions, and understand so much more than I ever realized. I’ve been connecting with them on exciting, new levels and learning what it means to speak to them as whole people, while bringing them into my world.I also open up about a few personal topics that many of us quietly hold: extended breastfeeding, navigating identity and body image after babies, and the ways confidence comes from within, not from how our bodies change or what others think of us. Plus, I talk about play, imagination, solo events, and the reminder that sometimes the most meaningful growth happens in the smallest, most ordinary moments of our days.I hope you can use this conversation as an invitation to show yourself gentleness and allow yourself to take up space exactly as you are. If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe to the podcast and leave a kind review. I’ll see you next time!Ariana's Links:Website Instagram: @ArianaJoyChristie @YourCupofJoyPodcastTikTok: @ArianaChristie
