Ever wonder about the winding roads that lead us to where we are, especially to the wild, beautiful, and often chaotic journey of motherhood? This week, we're peeling back another layer, but this time, it’s from one of our very own. Milano steps into the guest seat on a different podcast, and we knew we had to share this special conversation with you, our Bare Naked Moms community.

In this borrowed episode from "The Pawcast" (Princeton Alumni Weekly), Milano opens up about her remarkable path to and through Princeton University. She gets real with host Liz Daugherty about what it was truly like navigating an Ivy League world with a profoundly unique background: a childhood marked by her mother's mental illness and intermittent homelessness, and being taken in by a true village of good samaritans.  It’s a story of resilience, the kindness of strangers (and campus security!), the devotion of family (like her aunt and uncle) and how these formative experiences shaped the mom and podcaster she is today.

In This Episode:

👉 Milano’s account of her "wild journey" to Princeton against great odds.

👉 A candid view of student life, unlike her peers.

👉 A story of compassion by Princeton campus security during a vulnerable time.

👉 The unexpected chapters after Princeton that led to Bare Naked Moms.

👉 Embracing our past, even if unconventional, can positively impact the present.
