In Another Life

Ah, the pelvic floor—the unsung hero (or villain?) of postpartum life. One minute, it’s holding everything together, and the next, you’re sneezing and praying your leggings are absorbent. 🤦‍♀️

This week, we’re getting real about all things pelvic health with expert Mandee Louie from Santosha Pilates—because why did NO ONE tell us that peeing a little after childbirth is NOT just "part of the deal"? We’re talking strengthening the muscles you forgot existed, the truth about Kegels (are we even doing them right?!), and why every mom should be seeing a pelvic floor specialist.

PLUS, we try out two breathwork exercises that might just change your life (or at least make you stop clenching your jaw). And because we love you, Mandee is offering $10 off her Pelvic Floor Reset Course with code INANOTHERLIFE—because your pelvic floor deserves some VIP treatment.

So whether you're dealing with leaks, lower back pain, or just trying to reclaim control of your own body, this episode is for you. Tune in, laugh, and learn why your pelvic floor deserves just as much attention as your skincare routine! 🎧✨

Ah, postpartum style—the impossible balancing act of wanting to look put-together-ish but also needing outfits that accommodate leaky boobs, a squishy midsection, and a deep emotional attachment to sweatpants. 🫠

This week, Wren and Molly play a little catch-up on life, covering everything from Birkenstocks (fashion statement or just giving up?) to questionable tattoos (who let us make these choices?). Then, we dive into the wild world of postpartum fashion—aka, figuring out what to wear when your pre-baby jeans laugh in your face, and you refuse to buy another pair of leggings (but let’s be real, you will).

Whether you’re still rocking maternity clothes, living in an identity crisis, or just here for the chaos, this episode is for you. Tune in for laughs, questionable style choices, and a few wardrobe hacks we wish we’d known sooner! 🎧💃 #InAnotherLifePod #MomStyleCrisis #PostpartumFashion #LeggingsArePants

Diaper pails that don’t reek, bottles that allegedly prevent gas, and a baby swing that costs more than our first car—welcome to the wild world of baby consumerism. 🤯

This week, we’re breaking down the must-haves, the don’t-bothers, and the “why did I spend my life savings on this?” products of early parenthood. From sleep saviors to totally unnecessary gadgets, we’re getting brutally honest about what’s actually worth the hype.

Because let’s be real—marketers love desperate, sleep-deprived parents, and we’ve all fallen victim. (Yes, we’re looking at you, wipe warmer.) 😵‍💫

Tune in for laughs, real talk, and a few of our favorite (and not-so-favorite) baby things! 🎧 #InAnotherLifePod #BabyMustHaves #ConsumerismAtItsFinest #JulieAndrewsWouldBeShook

Welcome to the postpartum fog—where time isn’t real, coffee is a food group, and you’ve lost your phone, your sanity, and probably your will to socialize. 🤪 This week, we’re diving into the messy, exhausting, and slightly unhinged reality of postpartum life, from sleep deprivation torture (we see you, 2 AM wake-ups) to the identity crisis no one warned us about.

Luckily, we’ve got a postpartum doula joining us to help make sense of the madness—because apparently, there are ways to survive this phase without running away to a deserted island. (Interview starts at 16:30, for those too tired to listen to our rambling.)

And because moms need vices, this week we’re shouting out Airtrack San Diego, the ultimate energy-burner for wild toddlers and stir-crazy kids. Because if we can’t sleep, at least we can wear them out enough to maybe get five minutes of peace. 🏃‍♂️💨

Tune in for laughs, survival tips, and a whole lot of “WTF just happened to my life?” 🎧 #InAnotherLifePod #PostpartumFog #MomBrain #SendCoffee #AirtrackSanDiego

There are moments in life that split time into before and after. For Molly and her family, that moment came with a diagnosis they never saw coming—her son has Noonan Syndrome.

In this deeply personal and emotional episode, Molly shares her story out loud for the first time—from the shock of hearing the unthinkable, to navigating an entirely new reality, to finding strength she never knew she had. This is a raw, honest, and unfiltered conversation about grief, resilience, and the fierce love of a mother fighting for her child.

Some episodes make you laugh. Some make you cry. This one does both. 💙

🎧 Tune in to hear Molly’s journey and how she’s learning to embrace the after. #InAnotherLifePod #NoonanSyndrome #MomsStrength #YouAreNotAlone

They say you never really lose your groove, but let’s be real—after months of spit-up, contact naps, and talking exclusively in baby voices, stepping back into the real world post-maternity leave feels like an out-of-body experience. 😵‍💫

This week, we’re tackling the wild transition back into the workforce, how to be social when you’d rather be in bed by 7PM, and what it actually feels like to be a woman in corporate America post-baby. (Spoiler: It’s a trip.)

Plus, Wren shares her experience at a 500-person sales kickoff, where she traded in diaper bags for business casual and attempted to network without mentioning sleep regressions. (The results? Questionable.)

And for our mommy vice of the week, we’re highlighting Torrey Holistics, because let’s be honest—sometimes, a little wine just doesn’t cut it. 🍃✨ As a California-based dispensary, they offer edibles, CBD, and other legal cannabis goodies to help moms take the edge off in a state-approved, totally guilt-free way. Because if bedtime negotiations were a sport, we’d all be Olympic-level stressed.

So grab your coffee, wine, or whatever’s legal in your state, and tune in! 🎧 #InAnotherLifePod #BackToWork #MomLife #TorreyHolistics #MomsNeedVicesToo

If we had a dollar for every time someone told a mom she couldn’t chase her dreams… we’d probably be sipping cocktails on a beach somewhere. 🌴 But instead, we’re here to prove them wrong—just like our guest this week, Alexa Dodson, founder of Lexa Swim.

Alexa didn’t just start a sustainable swimwear line—she built it from the ground up, got featured at Madewell, and made it all happen while pregnant and raising two kids. Because why take it easy when you can do everything at once?! 💁‍♀️🔥

And since all this boss-mom energy requires proper hydration, our mommy vice of the week is brought to you by Bivouac Ciderworks—because nothing says “I survived another day” like a crisp, locally crafted cider. 🍏✨

Tune in as we talk about drowning out the naysayers, building an empire with a baby on your hip, and why moms can do pretty much anything (except maybe pee alone). 😂

🎧 Listen now & let’s raise a cider to badass moms everywhere! #InAnotherLifePod #LexaSwim #MomBoss #BivouacCiderworks

They say it takes a village to raise a child—but what if your "village" is just you, a half-eaten granola bar, and a full Amazon cart at 3 AM? 😵‍💫

In this episode, we’re talking about the absolute necessity of finding your people when surviving the newborn and children trenches. From the friend who validates your questionable parenting choices to the group chat that keeps you sane, we’re breaking down why community is everything—and how to find it when you feel like you're in this alone.

So grab your cold coffee and join us, because no mom should have to Google “is my baby broken?” alone. 😂🎧 #InAnotherLifePod #FindYourVillage #MomLifeUnfiltered

Look, we get it—every mom has a wild conception and birth story, but let’s be honest… no one really cares. 😂 That didn’t stop us from spilling ALL the messy, unexpected, and slightly traumatic details of our own. From pregnancy plans that went up in flames to labor room chaos, we’re sharing the good, the bad, and the downright WTF moments of bringing tiny humans into the world.

So grab a snack (because we know you're always feeding someone), and get ready to laugh, cringe, and maybe even relive your own birthing horror—I mean, experience.

🎧 Listen now, because if we had to go through it, you have to hear about it! #InAnotherLifePod #BirthStoriesGoneWrong #SendWine

This Is NOT What We Signed Up For 🤯👶☕

They told us motherhood would be magical… they just forgot to mention the sleepless nights, permanent snack duty, and the fact that toddlers negotiate like tiny, unhinged terrorists. 🤦‍♀️

In our very first episode of In Another Life, we’re diving into all the lies—uh, expectations—we had about motherhood and how reality laughed in our faces. Grab your lukewarm coffee and join us for some unfiltered, laugh-so-you-don’t-cry real talk.

🎧 Listen now and let’s commiserate together! #InAnotherLifePod #MomLife #ExpectationVsReality
