There are some conversations that stay with you long after the microphones are turned off.

This is one of them.

Today, I’m sitting down with Lisa Price, founder of Bereaved Together, and we talk about something no parent ever imagines having to navigate—the loss of a child.

Lisa shares the story of losing her daughter, the heartbreak that followed, and what it has looked like to keep living, loving, and mothering through it all. We talk about EMDR therapy, faith, the questions that don’t always have answers, and the reality of holding joy and grief in the same hand. We also talk about what it’s like to raise her son while continuing to love, honor, and parent a daughter who is no longer physically here.

What I loved most about this conversation is that Lisa doesn’t try to tie grief up with a neat little bow. She speaks honestly about the messiness of it, the loneliness of it, and the ways God has met her in places she never wanted to be.

Whether you’ve experienced the loss of a child, another significant loss, or you’re simply trying to better understand someone you love, I think you’ll find something here. This conversation is tender, honest, heartbreaking, hopeful, and such a beautiful reminder that love doesn’t end when someone dies.

So take a deep breath, settle in, and join me as we hold space your yet another beautiful story about love.

In this episode, I’m joined by Jenna as we talk about the real, everyday side of motherhood — the strength it builds, the tension of holding both joy and exhaustion, and the grace it takes to release expectations of yourself as a mom. Jenna shares about navigating pregnancy while caring for a young child, the challenges of sleep deprivation, and how faith shows up in the ordinary rhythms of family life. This conversation is an honest encouragement for moms who feel tired, overwhelmed, or unsure if they’re doing enough. Sometimes the most sacred moments of motherhood are found in the everyday.

Welcome back to Dirty Laundry with Ollie—this season is all about motherhood.

The beautiful parts, the messy parts, and everything we don’t usually say out loud. Around here, we don’t fold it up neatly, we air it out. Real stories, honest conversations, and reminders that you’re not alone in this. So wherever you’re listening from, take a breath… this is motherhood, aired out. 

Today’s episode is a little different. My friend and I are inviting you into our daily voice memo conversations.  I’m sitting down with my friend Ana, and we’re talking all things pregnancy, birth, and those wild early postpartum days that no one really prepares you for.

This conversation started as us swapping pregnancy stories… and quickly turned into laughing about the chaos, naming the hard parts out loud, and remembering the joy that somehow exists right alongside the exhaustion. We talk about the moments that stretched us, the things that surprised us, and the reality that you can love this season and struggle in it at the same time.

It’s honest, a little unfiltered, and very much a “you had to be there” kind of episode. Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, or just love hearing real stories from women who are figuring it out as they go,  this one’s for you. Let’s get into it.

Today we are taking a moment to honor National Infertility Awareness Month and revisiting a super meaningful conversation from season four.

This isn’t a replay because we ran out of stories to tell. It’s a replay because some stories deserve to be heard again.

In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with a mother who spent years navigating unexplained infertility, multiple failed IUI treatments, and the emotional, physical, and financial toll of trying to conceive. She shares her journey to IVF (something she once prayed she wouldn’t have to pursue) and how her faith, marriage, and sense of self were shaped along the way.

Now a mother of two boys and the author of You Are Worth the Wait, she reflects on healing, hope, and what she learned in the waiting.

As we celebrate motherhood, we also want to hold space for those walking through infertility, pregnancy loss, IVF, adoption, waiting, or uncertainty. Your story matters, too.

Topics discussed include infertility, IVF, IUI, fertility treatments, women’s health, faith, marriage, motherhood, hope, and healing.

Here on Dirty Laundry with Ollie, I believe ALL stories are deserving of listening ears. 

From my heart to yours, Ollie <3

In this episode, I sit down with Kelita to talk about a season of motherhood that doesn’t get talked about enough — navigating the changes of premenopause while raising boys.

Kelita shares what it’s like raising two neurodivergent sons who sit on different sides of the spectrum, and how she’s learned that loving your kids equally doesn’t always mean loving them the same. We talk about what it looks like to meet each child where they are, give them the support they uniquely need, and still hold space for both of them to feel deeply loved.

We also get into the reality of raising teenage boys — how to have hard conversations as they grow into themselves, how to address things like curiosity, boundaries, and exposure to things like pornography, and how to approach these moments in ways that build trust instead of shame.

This conversation is honest, thoughtful, and full of wisdom for parents who want to stay connected to their kids as they grow.

Enjoy!

Welcome back to Dirty Laundry with Ollie—this season is all about motherhood.

The beautiful parts, the messy parts, and everything we don’t usually say out loud. Around here, we don’t fold it up neatly, we air it out. Real stories, honest conversations, and reminders that you’re not alone in this. So wherever you’re listening from, take a breath… this is motherhood, aired out. 

I am SO excited to have Reja back in the studio. If you haven’t listened to her first episode, I would highly recommend you circle back to Season 05 Episode 36. I know you will be inspired and encouraged by her story. 

Today, Raja and I talk honestly about motherhood, grief, body image, and the quiet pressure to hold everything together perfectly. We unpack why work-life balance is a faulty structure, how perfectionism sneaks into our bodies and our parenting, and what it looks like to invite our children into our grief without asking them to carry it for us. This conversation is grounding, gentle, and deeply encouraging—a reminder that grace matters more than getting it right.

Whether you’re navigating loss, trauma, or the everyday weight of motherhood, this episode is an invitation to soften, release unrealistic expectations, and trust that you’re doing more than enough.

On Dirty Laundry with Ollie, this episode covers:

    •    Why “balance” is often an illusion—and what to aim for instead

    •    Body image, self-compassion, and releasing perfectionism in motherhood

    •    How to include children in grief without placing the burden on them

    •    Navigating work, motherhood, and identity with more grace

    •    Encouragement for anyone walking through grief, trauma, or transition

Hello, this is Ollie, and welcome to Dirty Laundry with Ollie.

A podcast that elevates personal stories and supports women in trusting themselves again, unlearning the noise, reclaiming their voice, and living from a place of wholeness, not pressure.

Each season, we explore unique and meaningful topics through honest storytelling and shared lived experience, weaving in gentle psychoeducation, tangible tools, and moments of lightness. This is a space to build community, soften division, and remind us how deeply connected we really are.

My hope is that every person who shares and every one who listens feels the quiet strength of their own story, honors the resilience they already carry, and feels grounded, seen, and whole – exactly as they are, and confident in where they’re going.

Before we begin, I just want to acknowledge that if you are currently walking through infertility, conversations that sound like “happy endings” can feel deeply triggering. Please take care of your heart. If this isn’t the right time to listen, it is more than okay to press pause and come back next week. There is no pressure here. My hope is that this space feels encouraging and uplifting — and if today that means choosing not to listen, that is completely valid. You are seen, exactly where you are.

Maria Layton Armstrong first joined us during our infertility season and now she’s back, holding her baby girl in her arms. In this tender conversation, we talk about the quiet coexistence of grief and joy, endometriosis, infertility into motherhood, body image after pregnancy, answered prayers, and what motherhood means on the other side of longing. If you’re navigating timelines, trust, or the tension of “both/and,” this one will gently hold you.

This is Dirty Laundry with Ollie. And together, we are healing out loud.

Welcome back to Dirty Laundry with Ollie—this season is all about motherhood.

Motherhood doesn’t just change your schedule… it changes you.

It strengthens parts of you you didn’t know existed—and shakes parts you thought were solid.

It’s holy work wrapped in laundry piles, whispered prayers, exhaustion, and love that feels too big for your chest.

Today’s conversation is about motherhood not as a role to survive—but as a sacred assignment.

One that forms us, humbles us, stretches us, and slowly reveals who God is shaping us to become.

We’re talking about identity—who you were before kids and who you’re becoming through them.

The hard parts the Church doesn’t always name.

The way our children become teachers, sanctifying us in real time.

Why community matters more than ever.

How daily bread, real rest, and grace—not perfection—are what sustain us.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I still me?”

If you’ve felt unseen, overwhelmed, or quietly failing while doing the most important work of your life—

this episode is for you.

Take a breath.

You’re not behind.

You’re being formed.

This week on Dirty Laundry with Ollie, Michelle Splittgaber joins us for an honest conversation about motherhood, grief, and the strength it takes to choose yourself when life doesn’t unfold the way you planned. Becoming a mom at 24, Michelle reflects on the woman she was then, the survival instincts she developed, and how the birth of her daughter Addison changed everything.

She shares the painful decision to leave a marriage she hoped would work, the grief of letting go of that dream, and what it’s been like to co-parent with honesty, repair, and accountability. Michelle also opens up about finding love again, and losing it suddenly, while helping her young daughter navigate grief alongside her own.

Now remarried, Michelle talks about letting someone back into her family, parenting, and learning to trust love after loss. This episode is for any mom who feels like she’s carrying it all quietly, wondering if she’s failing while doing the bravest work of her life.

Welcome back to Dirty Laundry with Ollie. This is a BONUS episode this week and I am so excited to share it with you. Lately, I’ve been getting more and more questions about my therapeutic services and how people can actually go about finding the right therapist. So in this episode, I wanted to slow down and talk about it. Whether you’re considering working with me or with someone else entirely, my hope is simply to help break down some of the stigma around therapy and give you a better understanding of what the process can look like.

I’m joined by Sophia, another therapist from Navigate Wellness, and together we talk about how to start the search for a therapist, what to look for, and how to know if someone might be the right fit for you.

If you’ve ever been curious about therapy but didn’t know where to start, this conversation is for you. And if you have questions about therapy, my services, or just want to connect, please don’t hesitate to reach out. My hope is always to educate, support, and help people feel more confident in reconnecting with themselves and their stories. AND wait till the end where I share some questions you can bring into your first session to help you feel more grounded.
