How many women spend years trying to eat “healthy”… while quietly struggling with a completely unhealthy relationship with food?

This week, I sat down with Maxine Sharf, creator of Maxi’s Kitchen, for a conversation that went far beyond recipes.

We talk about her journey with body image, years of restriction, learning what balance actually looks like, and the mindset shifts that completely changed her relationship with food.

We also get into the story behind building Maxi’s Kitchen, how getting laid off unexpectedly changed the trajectory of her life, the special relationship she has with her mom and how those early moments spent cooking together unknowingly shaped the career she has today.

Such a beautiful reminder that sometimes life forces us onto a completely different path… and that path ends up being exactly where we were meant to go.

Why are we only talking about women when it comes to fertility… when men’s health plays such a major role too?

This week, I’m joined by Ronit Menashe and Vida Delrahim, founders of WeNatal, for a conversation that completely shifts the way we think about fertility. After both experiencing heartbreaking miscarriages, they began digging deeper into what might really be impacting reproductive health and what they uncovered changed everything.

We talk about the connection between environmental toxins, egg quality, miscarriage, sperm health, and why fertility has to become a conversation couples navigate together, not something that falls entirely on women.

If you’re trying to conceive, curious about optimizing fertility, or simply want to better understand what is happening behind the scenes when it comes to reproductive health, this is an episode every woman and man should hear.

How much of your child's behavior is actually connected to sleep?

In this episode, I sit down with Davis Ehrler, creator of the 3 Day Sleep Solution, to talk about the connection between sleep, discipline, emotional regulation, and raising confident, capable kids. Davis spent three days with our family and completely transformed the way we approach sleep, routines, boundaries, and parenting as a whole.

We discuss how much sleep children really need at different ages, why nighttime sleep is different from daytime sleep, what happens when kids become overtired, and why some children seem wired instead of tired. We also dive into schedules, wake windows, sleep sacks, sound machines, discipline, time-outs, pouches, and some of the modern parenting habits that may be making life harder for both parents and children.

Whether you're in the baby stage, navigating toddlerhood, or simply looking for practical tools to create more peace in your home, this episode is full of it.

Why does fertility feel so much more complicated for women today?

This conversation with Dr. Sasha Hakman goes into the reality of modern reproductive health and the growing issues women are facing when it comes to fertility, IVF, PCOS, endometriosis, miscarriage, and male fertility. We talk about the emotional and physical reality of IVF, the misconceptions women have been taught around fertility, and what Dr. Sasha is actually seeing happen to women’s reproductive health right now. Dr. Sasha also shares her own personal experience with infertility and IVF, bringing both the clinical and deeply human perspective into this conversation.

Why is comfort food in America often the exact opposite of nourishing?

In this conversation with Ana Elena Lander, we talk about the differences between Latin American and American food culture, why so many people feel disconnected from nourishment today, bone broth as healing food, pregnancy nourishment, collagen and gelatin, and how getting sick unexpectedly led her to reconnect with the kinds of nourishing foods she grew up around and eventually create Pikora.

What if the way we’ve been taught to clean… isn’t actually the full picture?

This conversation with Lauren Taylor completely shifted the way I think about the health of our homes. We talk about the idea that our homes have a microbiome too, what synbiotic cleaning actually means, and how Alter Bio was created to approach cleaning in a completely different way. We also get into the major differences between European and American product standards, regenerative farming in Oklahoma, and the bigger conversation around what it really means to create a healthier environment for ourselves and our families.

What if the way you’ve been trying to regulate your nervous system isn’t actually getting to the root of it? This is a conversation that shifted everything for me. The kind that makes you realize there’s a whole layer we’ve been missing. Something most people aren’t exposed to, but once you are, you can’t unsee it. It’s changed how I move through my days, how I show up as a mom, and honestly… who I am.

What if the symptoms we’re told are “normal” in postpartum are actually signals from the body asking for deeper support? After becoming a mom, many women find themselves on a hormonal rollercoaster—feeling off in their bodies, low energy, dealing with anxiety, digestion issues, and not quite like themselves, without a clear path forward. In this conversation, Anabel shares the experience that led her to question what she was told to accept, and how that journey brought her to gut health and the role of microbial diversity in how we feel day to day. What unfolds is a look at why a static approach to probiotics may be missing the mark, how introducing more diversity can support the body differently, and the thinking behind creating a system designed to work with the body’s natural rhythm rather than against it.

What does it actually look like to take care of yourself in a season where everything revolves around someone else?

There’s a moment so many women experience after becoming mothers—where their needs quietly move to the bottom of the list. In this conversation, Maria Chase shares the turning points that shifted how she saw her body, her role, and what it means to show up for herself. From early days of working out at home with her kids to building Burn Studio, her path reflects a deeper evolution—one rooted in intention, identity, and creating space for women to feel supported in their own lives.

What if the thing that feels the most restrictive… is actually what gives everyone more freedom?

There’s a version of motherhood no one really prepares you for — the one where you feel completely transformed, deeply fulfilled, and also stretched in ways you didn’t expect. The beauty and the overwhelm can exist at the same time. And somewhere in that, you’re trying to figure out what actually works for your family.

This is a reflection on what shifted inside our home when we started approaching sleep and discipline differently — how structure changed the energy in our days, how it reshaped our relationship with our kids, and how it brought a sense of calm I didn’t realize we were missing. It challenged a lot of what I thought being a “good” parent looked like, and opened the door to something that feels a lot more grounded, intentional, and sustainable.
