Before becoming moms, we all had ideas about what motherhood would look like.

We thought we'd never hand over the iPad at a restaurant. We thought our kids would eat whatever we cooked. We thought we'd have a routine, a clean house and somehow still find time for ourselves.

Then motherhood happened.

This week on Motherish, we're unpacking the motherhood myths we believed before having kids and the truths we've discovered along the way. From screen time and sleep schedules to identity, friendship and mom guilt, we're separating expectation from reality and laughing at just how wrong we were about some things.

We spend so much time talking about age gaps in relationships, but what about friendships?

In this episode of Motherish, we're exploring the beautiful, unexpected friendships that happen between moms of different ages and life stages. Whether your closest mom friend is 10 years older, 15 years younger or somewhere in between, these relationships often bring wisdom, fresh perspectives and a reminder that motherhood connects us far more than age ever could.

This week on Motherish, we’re joined by entrepreneur, content creator and media veteran Paula Zelaya.

After spending more than 20 years in media, Paula took everything she learned about storytelling, connection and leadership and turned it into something even bigger: a thriving community of women.

In this episode, we talk about resilience, reinvention and the power of community. Paula shares her journey from media professional to founder, what inspired her to create spaces where women feel seen and supported, and why connection is more important than ever.

Pamela has officially reached the point where every conversation somehow circles back to "Off Campus." Karen cannot understand the obsession. Pamela cannot understand how Karen is not watching.

So naturally, we had to dedicate an entire episode to it.

This week on Motherish, we’re diving into why so many millennial moms are completely hooked on "Off Campus." Is it the nostalgia? The teen drama? The emotional support characters? The escape from real life? Probably all of the above.

From teenie-bopper energy to full-blown emotional investment, we unpack why this show has moms everywhere staying up too late, texting their friends theories and feeling entirely too attached to fictional teenagers.

In this episode of Motherish, we’re talking about what it’s been like visiting Walt Disney World with our 6 and 7 year olds and how the experience has shifted from full-time caregiving to true co-adventuring. From seeing them take in the magic more deeply to watching their personalities shine through every ride and character interaction, this stage feels different in the best way.

We’re also sharing practical Disney tips, ways to save money, perks worth knowing about and the small moments that ended up becoming our favorite memories. A little heartfelt, a little helpful and full of Disney magic.

Disney trips can feel magical… and overwhelming. As moms, there’s so much pressure to fit everything in, make every moment special and somehow stay fully present through it all.

In this episode of Motherish, we’re talking about slowing down and experiencing Disney in a way that feels more meaningful and less exhausting. From new ways to enjoy the parks during Cool Kids’ Summer to letting go of the pressure to “do it all,” this conversation is equal parts practical, heartfelt and full of pixie dust.

If you’ve ever left a vacation feeling like you needed another vacation, this one’s for you.

Pamela and Karen head back to the original studio (Pam's garage) where it all started back in 2020 for a bonus episode to just share some love for Mother's Day weekend! We wish you all the best weekend and are so grateful for our community.

Today’s episode is for every mom who has stood in front of her closet and wondered, Who was I before this?

We’re joined by Miami-based style consultant and mom Uti Torres for a conversation about personal style, confidence and identity after motherhood. Uti believes getting dressed is about so much more than fashion. It is about reconnecting with yourself, evolving without losing who you are and learning to feel good in your own skin again.

We talk about how motherhood changes the way we see ourselves, why style can be a powerful form of self-expression and how small shifts can help women feel more confident and grounded in this season of life.

What happens when the culture you pass down to your children isn’t just where you’re from… but also what you chose?

Today on Motherish, we’re joined by Shadee, known online as “The Tropical Persian,” a Persian American mom with a Latina soul. Her journey with Spanish, Latin culture and life in Puerto Rico didn’t come from where she was born, but from what she was drawn to.

In this episode, we talk about identity through a motherhood lens: the difference between the identity you’re given and the one you build for yourself, and how that shapes the way we raise our kids. How do you pass down cultures you deeply love? How do you create a sense of belonging that isn’t confined to one label?

Motherhood is often framed as either losing yourself… or finally finding yourself. But what if it’s something more complex than that?

Today on Motherish, we’re joined by Latin GRAMMY–nominated artist and mom Paula Arenas to talk about identity, evolution and what it really means to grow through motherhood. We explore the idea that becoming a mother doesn’t erase who you were, but instead expands you into multiple versions of yourself all at once.

From creativity and career to personal transformation, this conversation is an honest look at holding onto who you’ve been while stepping into who you’re becoming.
