38: From Bumps to Babies: A Journey of New Moms with Gabby Avendano

In this episode,  I’m joined by my friend Gabby, a fellow new mom and the heart behind a vibrant mom walk group in Baltimore. From our early days of prenatal yoga at The Womb Room to navigating new motherhood, we’ve traveled a meaningful path together. Gabby and I sit down to talk about "mothering on your terms"— to forget the “should's” and the constant advice from the world and media, and instead focus on what truly works for *you*.

Gabby leads a community where new moms can gather for sunshine, exercise, and connection, supporting each other and embracing local small businesses along the way. Her mom walk group offers a refreshing break from the isolation that motherhood can sometimes bring, strengthening our community and creating space for genuine connections.

In this episode, we dive into the importance of creating a motherhood experience that’s enjoyable, flexible, and authentically your own. Whether you’re a new mom or preparing for motherhood, join us as we explore finding joy, rejecting outside pressures, and embracing the beauty of doing it your way.
