How to Be a More Minimalist Mama: Dr. Emily Knell Spaeth on Parenting with Purpose

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.
