Pregnant at 35 and suddenly considered “geriatric”?! In this solo episode, Lex shares the honest reality of having a baby after 35 from pregnancy after miscarriage and complicated hospital visits to becoming a mom when she was truly ready.

She also opens up about addiction, waiting to start a family, Hispanic cultural pressure, choosing the right partner, and why motherhood didn’t make her life more worthy it added a beautiful new layer to an already full life.

This isn’t about younger moms versus older moms. It’s a reminder that life isn’t a race, there is no perfect timeline, and you are never too old to begin a new chapter.

Why does making friends feel so much harder as an adult?

We’re continuing our series highlighting regular women who are anything but average. This week, Lex sits down with Jennifer Cerritos, founder of Confetti & Connections, a community helping women throughout the Santa Clarita Valley find genuine friendship and connection.

Jennifer opens up about motherhood, raising three boys, navigating difficult seasons, and turning her own loneliness into something meaningful. We talk about why women stop investing in friendships, finding the courage to walk into the room alone, and creating spaces where every woman feels seen, supported, and welcome.

Because your future best friend may be sitting in the very room you’re afraid to enter.

This episode was prerecorded, so the luau mentioned has already passed, but Jennifer’s next Gratitude Gathering, Falling Into Gratitude, is happening September 25 with amazing local vendors. Visit her page to register @confettiandconnections on instagram!

Have you ever heard of brainspotting? 👀 Because after this episode, you will.

This week on Mom Gone Mild, I’m joined by Chelsea Spagnola, a licensed therapist who works with millennial moms, for an honest conversation about motherhood, mental health, and everything we carry that people don’t always see.

We get into mom guilt, anxiety, losing yourself in motherhood, breaking generational cycles, relationships, and what it actually looks like to prioritize your mental health while raising a family.

Chelsea also introduces us to brainspotting, what it is, how it works, and why this unique approach to therapy can help people process experiences and emotions that may be difficult to put into words.

This conversation is real, relatable, educational, and one I think so many women will see themselves in.

What happens when you stop worrying about what everyone else thinks and start actually OWNING who you are?

This week, Kayla aka Baddie With a Belly joins Mom Gone Mild for an unfiltered conversation about confidence, body image, motherhood, going viral, and learning to take up space without apologizing for it.

We talk about embracing your body after having a baby, dealing with judgment from strangers online, finding your confidence again, and realizing that someone else’s opinion of you doesn’t have to become your opinion of yourself.

We also get into Kayla’s decision to be one-and-done, relationships, motherhood, social media, and some very nosy questions because obviously I had to ask.

This one is for every woman who has ever looked in the mirror and wondered where the confident version of herself went.

She’s still there.

Season 2 is officially here, and things are changing.

I’m no longer a newborn mama. We are officially in toddlerhood, life looks different, and honestly… so do I.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing the 5 things that helped me find my sparkle again, become more confident, protect my peace, and feel more like myself.

I’m not trying to become the old me again. I’m becoming a version of myself I actually like even more.

We’re talking motherhood, womanhood, fitness, friendships, boundaries, getting uncomfortable, and learning to accept yourself while you’re still growing.

This season is growing with me, and I’m so excited for what’s coming next.

Thirty episodes later... here we are.

For the Season 1 finale, I wanted to do something different.

This isn't a recap of everything I've learned or another advice episode. Instead, I'm dedicating this episode to the little boy who made Mom Gone Mild possible my son, Axel.

As he's about to turn one, I've found myself reflecting on this incredible first year of motherhood. The highs, the struggles, the moments that stretched me, and the little memories I already know I'll miss.

I'm also taking a moment to celebrate every mom whose baby is about to turn one, because while we celebrate our babies, we don't always celebrate the women who grew, delivered, and loved them through that first unforgettable year.

Whether you're a mom, hoping to become one someday, or simply walking through a season of growth, I hope this episode reminds you to slow down and appreciate the ordinary moments that end up meaning the most.

Thank you for an unforgettable first season. I'll see you in Season 2.

After becoming a mom, I felt like I lost pieces of myself.

In this episode, I’m sharing my journey from confused college student to hospice nurse, navigating postpartum depression and anxiety, leaving a career I loved, and ultimately finding myself again through motherhood and creating Mom Gone Mild.

If you’ve ever questioned who you are outside of being “Mom,” I hope this conversation reminds you that you’re not alone. Motherhood changes us, but it doesn’t erase us.

If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow the podcast, leave a five star review, and share it with another mom who needs to hear it.

What if self-love isn't what we've been told it is?

In this episode of Mom Gone Mild, we're talking about the difference between self-love and self-care and why they aren't the same thing.

From keeping the promises you make to yourself to setting healthy boundaries, motherhood, confidence, and learning to stop abandoning yourself, this is an honest conversation about what self-love actually looks like in everyday life.

I'm not an expert. I'm simply sharing what I've been learning on my own journey of becoming a healthier, happier, and better version of myself. If something I've learned can help you too, then that's exactly why I started this podcast.

If you've ever struggled to put yourself first, questioned your worth, or felt like you've lost yourself while taking care of everyone else, this episode is for you.

If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to follow Mom Gone Mild, leave a review, and share it with another woman who might need this reminder today.

If I could sit down with my younger self over coffee, here's what I'd say.

This week's episode is dedicated to my younger sisters, Olivia, Emma, and Sofia but it's also for every woman who's ever felt behind, heartbroken, lost, or wondered if everything was ever going to work out.

We're talking about embracing girlhood, the magic of female friendships, why you shouldn't rush love, healing, comparison, finding your own timeline, and learning that the older version of you is capable of so much more than you ever imagined.

From flip phones, AIM, MySpace, and Jersey Shore nostalgia to heartbreak, healing, and becoming the woman I am today, this might be my most personal solo episode yet.

If you've ever felt like everyone else is moving faster than you, this episode is your reminder that your timeline is YOURS.

Trust it.
