Cassidy and Skylar sit down with Grammy-nominated country music trailblazer and mom Mickey Guyton for one of the most unfiltered conversations we've had on this show.

Mickey found out she was pregnant four days after becoming the first Black woman ever nominated for a Grammy in the country music category. What followed was five years she describes as a "dumpster fire" — and the most meaningful chapter of her life.

Cassidy and Skylar sit down with WNBA legend and Olympic gold medalist Brittney Griner and her wife, attorney and advocate Cherelle Griner.

BG and Cherelle open up about building their family through IVF, navigating the donor selection process, and what it was like to bring baby Bash into the world — all while BG was preparing for the Paris Olympics and still processing everything that came before.

This discussion touches on:

How BG and Cherelle met at Baylor over a stolen milkshake — and why BG spent a month tracking Cherelle down.

Their decision to pursue IVF, what the process actually looked like shot by shot, and what surprised them most about the fertility clinic.

The delivery room moment that shows exactly why Black women need to advocate loudly for themselves — and a doctor who actually listened.

BG leaving for the Olympics four days after Cherelle gave birth, and how they both survived it.

What Cherelle wishes she had known going into early parenthood — and why she'd go back to those first slow days in a heartbeat.

A first look at The Brittney Griner Story, premiering at Sundance.

Cassidy and Skylar sit down with Peloton instructor, Brooklyn Nets host, Love Squad founder, and new mom Ally Love for one of the most honest conversations she's had about the journey to motherhood.

Ally opens up about the pregnancy she kept entirely private while teaching millions of riders every day. Not as a publicity move, but as an act of protection. After a long and unexpected road to starting her family, she wasn't ready to hand that moment over to the world. She wanted other women to see that you don't have to. That you can handle it on your own terms.

She also goes deep on what nobody warned her about, the internal work it took to keep showing up, and what it actually feels like to come out the other side.

This conversation covers:

Why Ally never publicly announced her pregnancy, what that decision cost her emotionally, and why she'd make the same choice again.

The first trimester work meeting that blindsided her and left her unable to recognize herself, and how it took months to climb back from.

What it means to suffer in silence while performing confidence in front of millions of people every single day.

Coming back postpartum in a sports bra in front of millions, and the self-talk that got her through it.

Why identifying your support system before the baby arrives and actually telling those people what you need is the single most important thing you can do as a new mom.

Her barbecue pineapple pizza obsession, and the laugh hack that stops her son's crying immediately.
