I’m joined by Madison Vitale (@madi.snacks) from @sistersnacking for an honest, funny, and very real conversation about her postpartum journey, her career, and of course all the best NYC food spots. We talk about the importance of having a village, her decision to stop breastfeeding and the surprising changes she noticed afterward, what she cooks for her baby, and the most iconic push present of all time: 11 pounds of French butter.

Plus, Madi shares her NYC food recs for basically every occasion—from casual spots to special nights out.

A conversation about motherhood, motivation, and food? What more could a gal want!! Xoxo

Taylor Rae Roman has a way of putting into words what so many of us moms feel but can't muster up the brain power to actually explain.

In this episode, we talk about the emotional duality of motherhood—the joy and grief that can exist at the same time, the loneliness of the newborn stage, breastfeeding, postpartum recovery, why we should stop saying "mom guilt", the identity shift that comes with becoming a mother, and so much more.

We also dive into her viral poems, the inspiration behind them, and why she's choosing to be one-and-done. We of course finish the episode with Unpopular Mompinions.

Whether you're in the newborn trenches, chasing toddlers, or simply wondering if anyone else feels the way you do—you'll leave this conversation feeling seen and knowing that, NO, your'e not being too dramatic, because motherhood is f*cking hard.

In this episode, we're talking about one of the most exciting—and absolutely terrifying—milestones of parenthood: feeding your baby actual food. It's hereeee: The Feeding Episode!

As someone who's been a complete nervous wreck about starting solids, I sat down with feeding expert Jessica Aleman, MSEd, CCC-SLP, a Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist, to get answers to all the questions that have been living rent-free in my head.

We cover everything from What the hell is baby-led weaning? to What's the difference between gagging and choking? to Can I just give my baby purées forever? Jessica breaks down the science, clears up common misconceptions, and shares practical advice to help parents feel more confident as they navigate this exciting new stage.

If you're overwhelmed by conflicting advice online, terrified of allergens, or wondering whether you're doing any of this right, this episode is for you.

Consider this your judgment-free guide to starting solids—with a lot less panic and a lot more confidence.

In this episode of Long Story Short, I’m joined by creator, entrepreneur, and mom Nitsan Raiter for an honest conversation about identity, intuition, and navigating all the challenges of being a mom.

We talk about trusting your instincts as a parent (even when ChatGPT, Reddit, and your group chat all have different opinions), navigating mom guilt, making tough decisions with confidence, and why your priorities inevitably shift once you have a baby.

We also get real about the postpartum experience—from the weird identity crisis of wondering if you'll ever feel like yourself again, to realizing that motherhood doesn't have to take away from who you are. If you've ever questioned whether you're doing enough, struggled with the pressure to "have it all," or found yourself overthinking every decision because now a tiny human is involved, this episode is for you.
