In this solo episode, I explore all of my thoughts around the idea of having a second child – purely conceptual, not a pregnancy announcement! I discuss the recent pressure I’ve felt that it’s “go time” for Kid Number Two, our Month 15 bliss with Liam, and the fear of disrupting our current groove with another baby. I also explain our surprise pregnancy with Liam, and why that’s feeding my own uncertainties about another conception and postpartum experience. Finally, I read listener stories about feeling scared of giving less to your firstborn, being much more confident as a second-time mom, and deciding to be “one and done” and grappling with feeling secure in that decision.

Key Takeaway / Points:  On the idea of transitioning from one to two kids Feeling the sudden pressure that it’s “go time” for another child Finally finding balance between work and being a mother Observing friends’ timelines with having Baby Number 2 Our surprise pregnancy with Liam and my uncertainties about conceiving again The fear of going through the emotional and physical toll of pregnancy again Not wanting to disrupt the current bliss with your first child Those who have felt much more confident as second-time moms Those who have decided they are “one and done” Why we should never pressure women to have more – or any – children

In this episode, I catch up with my sister Lucy to answer listener questions on everything from petty fights to our parents recently selling our childhood home. We discuss why it was so emotional to say goodbye to the house, both for us and our friends, and how we want to recreate that same nostalgia and welcoming atmosphere in our own homes. We also talk about when Lucy and her boyfriend Tyler plan on getting married, Lucy’s feelings on not being on her older sisters’ “timelines,” and her favorite things about being an aunt. Finally, we discuss our biggest millennial “icks” and close it out with a game of 1,2,3 boop!

Who Knew We’d Be So Emotional? Saying Goodbye to Our Childhood Home

In this episode, I sit down with Bachelor favorite Bri Springs to discuss all things Bachelor Nation and how someone who had never seen The Bachelor before ended up on the show. Bri shares what it’s like to meet fans and why she was initially vulnerable about being “that girl from The Bachelor,” how she processed being broken up with on national television, and what it was like returning home from the show and assimilating into normal life. She also talks about why she wanted to go back to the corporate world after her TV experience, how she decided whether or not she was going to be the next Bachelorette, and why craving purpose and structure is what fuels her decision-making now. Finally, we discuss Bri’s upbringing and how being raised by a teen mother shaped her, the boxes we are all put in in family dynamics, how she looks at love now and has reframed the meaning of partnership, and much more.

Getting Real About Purpose, Family, and Partnership with Bri Springs

In this solo episode, I answer listener questions on all things nanny-related, from why we made the decision to get full-time care; to how we went about the process from start to finish. I share how I’ve been reconnecting with myself lately and why it has a lot to do with our recent nanny hire, what our history of childcare has looked like through the years, and why we chose a nanny vs. daycare. I then answer questions on how we found our nanny, what the interview process looked like, and how we figured out what worked for us. I also discuss the guilt I feel for “losing” time with my kids and struggling with FOMO, how I create distance while working from home, and why it’s so important to be honest and transparent about childcare.

The Nanny Episode

In this episode, I sit down with clinical psychologist, Dr. Jaclyn Nofech-Mozes, to discuss all things parent-child attachment, why we all have the tools to attain secure attachment, and why we can’t be perfect parents. Jaclyn explains the four attachment styles, the primary components of secure attachment, and what “rupture and repair” means. She also shares why it’s essential to know your “shark music” as a parent, whether sleep training, breastfeeding, and daycare/nannies affect attachment, and how child attachment changes with age. Finally, she discusses fostering secure attachment with your child as the non-birthing parent, the impact of maternal mental health on attachment, and how we can initiate repair if there has been a rupture.




Key Takeaway / Points:Jaclyn’s background as a clinical psychologistWhat is parent-infant attachment?On the four attachment stylesWhy we don’t need to be the perfect parentThe primary components of secure attachmentOn “rupture and repair”On recognizing your “shark music”Whether sleep training, breast feeding, and daycare/nannies affect attachmentHow child attachment changes with ageHow you can develop a secure attachment with your child if you had an insecure attachment with a parent growing upOn fostering attachment with the non-birthing partnerWhy some mothers feel that “instant bond” and others don’tOn the impact of maternal mental health on attachmentAdvice for how to initiate repair
