Our Origin Story

The YAM Podcast was born out of a request from 31 one interviews that we did with women from around the world for a product we wanted to create called The Mama’s Daily Comfort Toolkit. These women interviewed were from 12 countries and 25 different cities, nearly one woman per new city, where we ask them the question of “What brings them comfort?”

The insights from those interviews were so insightful, we wrote down a short summary of the major themes the mamas shared with us in our interview summary blog.

There were several additional fruits that came out of those interviews as well.

One is the Yoga Avec Moi Membership Portal, a portal where women who have children between the ages of 0-5 come and share their motherhood experience, be in sisterhood and community, learn tips and tricks of how to optimize the motherhood experience and thrive with the assistance of Nahal, the Integrative Yoga Therapy framework and monthly Guest Lecture Speakers on themed topics on motherhood.

The other is our recently launched YAM Podcast, where we re-invite some of the women who were originally interviewed in the Mama’s Daily Comfort Toolkit to share on the podcast their motherhood experience, and also include interviews of Guest Expert Speakers on how to improve the motherhood experience.

As always, you can expect a new episode of the YAM Podcast every Thursdays!
