Welcome back to Acting Like a Mom! It’s Season 2, and your host is officially out of the pregnancy fog and into toddler territory — and yes, still working in entertainment while figuring it all out. 🙃

In this first episode of the new season, I’m giving you a real, raw, and honest update on what life has looked like since Season 1 — which, if you remember, I recorded while pregnant (emotional rollercoaster, anyone?). Now with a one & two-year-old in tow, I’m back behind the mic, not just surviving but thriving... okay, sometimes thriving.

Tune in to hear:

• What it’s really been like juggling motherhood and a career in the industry

• The unexpected lessons from the past year

• What I wish I’d known (and what I’m still figuring out)

• A message of hope for every mom in the trenches — you are not alone

Whether you're on set, on a Zoom audition with a baby on your hip, or just trying to make it through nap time, this one’s for you. You can do this — and I’m right here with you.

Welcome to the season Finale of the Acting Like a Mom podcast. It’s a short and sweet one. It only felt right to end it because this is the only episode I have left with my baby bump, and next week is Christmas so the timing felt right. I am so grateful for all the guests that came on without knowing what to expect ya’ll are the real MVP’s. To everyone who watched, listened, shared the podcast, thanks for supporting this growing community.

In this final episode we dive deep into the world of curls, confidence, and creating a space for natural beauty. Our guest is none other than Bianca Renee, a powerhouse in the curly hair community and one of the most influential voices when it comes to embracing your natural texture. But that’s not all—she also shares her experiences balancing motherhood with building her brand, all while staying true to herself. Whether you're a curl enthusiast, a busy mom, or simply looking for some hair inspiration, you won’t want to miss this conversation!

Currently shooting from my hotel room cause mama is out of town working...yipiee. Unfortunately I left a piece of my breast pump at home, can we say Mastitis 😭😅. Amazon to the rescue!Will be delivering a same day hand pump....ohhh motherhood.

Anywho I had a different episode planned for this week but I had such a crazy overwhelming, overstimulated week and I overcame it and wanted to share some things I have learned along the way.

This episode was kinda hard to post because I knew I was experiencing some sort of depression during this time of my pregnancy, even writing that out is hard. But That would defeat the whole purpose of this podcast, to build a community of moms by sharing these often untold stories. So here I am diving into my own struggles.

Sarah Scott- Actress/ Intimacy Coordinator 

I was looking forward to having Sarah on the show and she did not disappoint! I actually reached out to her a while back when I was considering moving out of the city and making the commute for work. So glad I did because here I am moved out of the city and thriving… at least enjoying having space for the family. We talk about this and so much more. 

You may have seen her guest starring on shows such as The Orville, Castle, Bones, or True Blood - and she notably portrayed Courtney Love in the feature film Soaked In Bleach.  Five years ago Sarah hit the ground running as one of the pioneer intimacy coordinators in the industry and has been working ever since. Her credits include all four seasons of Hacks - which just won the Emmy for Best Comedy Series, as well as HBO’s Winning Time, Good Girls on NBC, the Netflix films You People and Rebel Moon, the film Lonely Planet as well as the Taylor Sheridan series 1923 and she’s currently in production on The Madison.

Fun fact: Sarah was one of the original silhouette dancers in the famous Apple iPod campaigns.

Please & Thank you

Work, work, work work work!!! It’s time to get that work in. 

Let’s be honest that is one of the most nerve wracking part about being pregnant in this industry, wondering what opportunities there are when you are pregnant? 

Don’t fear there is work but it just takes a while to get there, just gotta be patient. I briefly discuss my experience working while pregnant.
