Happy New Year everybody! Welcome back to a brand new episode. I’m joined today by Rachel Mortenson, and it’s such a great episode. Listening to Rachel’s story is like watching a really great movie. From growing up in a small town, to having her daughter at the age of 21, to waitressing at Hooters, to winning the Hooters pageant, to getting signed to one of the top modeling agencies, and moving on to became an extremely successful model, to now being an empty nester while her daughter is off at college, Rachel shares the highs and lows of it all. Rachel’s transparency is so refreshing, especially when it comes to talking about the sacrifices she has to make in order to work in the industry as a model. She also shares her experience with raising a daughter while working in this industry, and what role that’s played in her daughter’s self image. I really enjoyed my conversation with Rachel. She’s funny, entertaining, transparent, authentic, and reminds us all that it’s okay to want more for yourself. I know you all are going to love her too. Enjoy guys!

Welcome to the last episode of 2024. I chose to end the year with this particular episode because it’s the perfect reminder and motivation to go into the new year with a healthy approach, and a positive mindset. In today’s episode, I sit down with Beulah, a wellness coach, mother, and photographer to pick her brain about all things wellness. Beulah shares her story of how she’s gotten to where she is today on her wellness journey, and it’s so uplifting and inspiring to hear how she used her struggles as fuel to become the best version of herself. I love Beulah’s approach to living a healthy life. It’s simple and applicable. On top of that, she also shares her experience of how she came to the decision to adopt her son. It’s a beautiful story that helped to restore my faith in humanity, and really affirmed my belief that everything happens for a reason. I know you’re all going to take away so much from our conversation. So, let’s dive in!

Welcome to episode 2 of season 3 everybody! I’m kicking off the first guest of this season with the icon that is, Sonya Yu. Sonya is a founder, CEO, creative director, mother, art, watch, and car collector, surfer, and fashion queen. Oh, and can’t forget to mention, an absolute badass on the reformer. There’s really not much that Sonya can’t do, and that’s what I admire most about her. She takes her passions and excels in all of them, and isn’t afraid to embrace every facet of herself. This has got to be hands down one of my favorite interviews. Sonya’s outlook and approach to life is truly so beautiful and inspiring. From coming to the US when she was 5, and using that immigrant mentality to fuel her work ethic, Sonya shares her journey on how she’s gotten to where she is today in life, business, and as a mother. This is one of those episodes that you just want on repeat because Sonya drops so many great reminders and lessons for you to take away from our conversation. So let’s dive into the magical bitch herself, and get to know the incredible Sonya Yu.

I’m chatting with the Michelangelo of the vagina today guys, so get ready for a very interesting conversation with Dr. Amir Marashi. Dr. Amir is a board certified gynecologist who specializes in labiaplasty, vaginoplasty, pelvic pain, and endometriosis. He’s also the creator and founder of Cerē, the first pleasure product brand designed by physicians. I learned so much in my conversation with Dr. Amir, and got to ask many questions that I think a lot of women want to ask, but are afraid to. Dr. Amir is an open book when it comes to discussing women’s vaginas, and he’s also such an advocate for women’s pleasure, which I really admire and appreciate. This conversation really takes the taboo away from these types of topics, and brings the science back into it. On top of being the best of the best when it comes to vaginal rejuvenation, Dr. Amir’s approach to life, both personally and professionally, is really beautiful and inspiring. In this episode we discuss everything from labiaplasty, vaginoplasty, how important the angle of the vagina is when it comes to achieving the most pleasure during sex, we talk the benefits of orgasm, ways to improve pleasure at home, the importance of thinking time, prioritizing genuine connection, and so much more! Also, on a side note, after my discussion with Megan Moran on the last episode, which I highly recommend listening to if you haven’t already, I’ve decided to split the show up into seasons. That being said, this episode will wrap this season of the show, and I will pick back up in the Fall. So, in the the meantime, I recommend going back and listening to any episode you haven’t gotten a chance to tune into yet, and sharing them with loved ones, leaving a rating and review, just anything to support the show. It means so much to me. There are 52 episodes to choose from, and I’ve poured my heart and soul into each and every one of them. I feel very confident about ending this season with Dr. Amir, and know you all are going to walk away feeling so informed and inspired by this conversation. I hope you all have a beautiful summer, and I will be back in the fall!

Welcome back to The M.I.L.F. Way! I’m sitting down today with fellow podcaster, host of The Mompreneur Guide, business owner, and mother to two, Megan Moran. Guys, todays episode is so informative, and Megan drops so many nuggets of wisdom in this episode when it comes to finding your purpose, parenting, and the beauty of slow living. I literally had my pen and paper out during this conversation, because Megan taught me so many new terms such as unschooling, slow living, gentle parenting, and conscious parenting, and had me so intrigued with her approach to life, business, and parenting. We touch on lots of important topics, and get vulnerable with each other about what we learned from childhood, to being your highest authority, and the approach we both take when it comes to parenting. Having been a podcast host for years, Megan is such a natural on the mic, and knows how to keep the audience engaged with the way she speaks, and I just loved that so much about her. I know you all are going to walk away with so much after listening to this episode, so without further ado, please welcome Megan Moran to The M.I.L.F. Way!

We are back today with an amazing and super informative episode featuring the lovely Lana Kerr. Lana is the founder and CEO of Lumisque Skincare, and developed an incredible technology using Corboxy therapy to deliver Carbon Dioxide to the skin through a gel that she formulated with a group of scientists from Japan. In this episode we talk all about her journey in the health, wellness, and beauty space, and how she’s gotten to where she is today. Most notably, she’s created a product that has been clinically proven to lift, rejuvenate, and reverse signs of aging in the skin. After creating this product for the face, she since has also developed a gel specifically for the vulva and vagina to help increase lubrication and sensitivity. Lana is such a wealth of knowledge when it comes to women’s health and sexual education, so naturally, I really enjoyed this conversation. I learned so much about the science behind how our bodies function as we age as women, and also left this conversation with a new sense of inspiration to look at intimacy through a different lens. There’s no doubt in my mind that you all are going to love this interview just as much as I did, and walk away feeling so informed and inspired by Lana’s warm, and confident energy. Enjoy everybody!

Hello everyone welcome back to a new episode of The M.I.L.F. Way! My conversation today is with Emily Donahue Wood. Emily is a mother to 3 kids ages 3 and under, so there was a lot to unpack in this chat. I started following Emily a few months ago on Instagram, and fell in love with her and her adorable family, and admired her ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and balance it all while having 3 tiny children. I wanted to know how she was able to achieve this, and also what the secret is to staying sane while doing it, so that’s what our conversation touches on today. Emily’s tips on daily structure, how to divide your attention between your kids, keeping the spark alive in your relationship, her motivation to be healthy and fit, and reminder to not stress about the little things, will leave you feeling like you CAN do it all! I always say that being a mother is the hardest job on the planet, but by far the most rewarding. I really enjoyed this conversation with Emily, and I think you guys will too. Don’t forget to follow, subscribe, and leave a rating and review! It’s the best way to support the show. Enjoy everybody!

Hey everyone welcome back to a brand new episode! We’re continuing the new year, with another really strong episode. I’m sitting down today with Nadia Moham. Nadia is an amazing makeup artist, fellow podcaster, and mother. Considering Nadia has lots of experience on the mic, she is an absolute pro when it comes to podcasting, and really understands that the true beauty of sharing your story is about being vulnerable, and that was my favorite thing about this episode. Nadia keeps it real from the jump, and I love that about her. On top of being smart, witty, and extremely talented at what she does as a makeup artist, Nadia is also so raw and open with some of the struggles that many of us face as women, and especially as new mothers. In this episode we touch on everything from how the standards of beauty have evolved, makeup trends, Nadia’s do’s and don’ts when it comes to makeup, her favorite products, and then on a much deeper level, we also touch on topics like struggling with depression, how to overcome negative self talk, and the importance of giving yourself grace. I knew from the moment I sat down in Nadia’s makeup chair on set a couple months ago, that we were going to become friends. We both bonded over the fact that she was playing Christmas music on set, and that right there was the start of something beautiful. I had so much fun recording this one, and I know you guys will really enjoy it too. So without further ado, please welcome Nadia Moham to The M.I.L.F. Way, and also if you’re enjoying the show, please don’t forget to follow, subscribe, and leave a rating and review! It’s the best way to support the show. Enjoy everybody!
