She tells all about her pregnancy, birth and early motherhood all while balancing an 8 year career at Cosmopolitan Magazine, oh and getting promoted while on maternity leave.

It's a fun conversation and Carly is a joy to be around. I hope you will be inspired by her story and maybe even jot down a few life hacks as she drops some resources in this hour + talk.

Words from a Shaman about life and living.

Who are you?

Where are you going?

Who is coming with you?

Who is in charge?

Contemplating questions like these, lead to a life as your authentic self, and parenting in your essence.

In this talk with self-proclaimed Sneaker Head Dad, Keith, we get into some of the difficulties of co-parenting amidst a divorce. He had a gnarly experience in the court system, which he says, leans heavily towards the mother's side. He loves his kids so much, and when his visitation rights were suspended, he was crushed. He shares what that was like and how after years of turmoil, he and his ex are civil, communicating, even vacationing, and spending the holidays as a family unit, albeit, a modern family. Lots of us will experience divorce, and probably all of us will witness at least someone close to us go through one. It's just the reality of today. In 2018 the statistics stated that your chances of uncoupling are about 39%, which doesn't count couples that have children out of marriage. The truth is lots of times, it's best to split, best for everyone. In Keith's experience, although it was rough in the process, he knows it was meant to be.

He also shares another experience that we are mostly all destine for…that of losing a parent. It's so heavy to think about. Eventually, we all must go. Keith was incredibly close to his mother, and she was present through all the hardships of the divorce. She was a key player in raising his three children. That was one of the hardest things he faced as an adult, and he shares some of the somewhat surprising effects it had in all of his relationships.

As far as his relationship with his children, he wants them to listen to him and make sure they all get good stable jobs. He's a little concerned with their lack of street smarts but reassures that they can stay with him as long as they need. And he's proud that he knows his daughters will choose well-dressed men, like himself.

A chat with an angelic mother Regina Grandinetti, of Reginas Grocery, a High Style Italian restaurant in down town Manhattan. She opened with her son, a charismatic, kind, ambitious man. And he decided to name the place after her. I want to find out how she did it! Raising great kids in NYC, and maintaining a close relationship is no easy feat! Though it came naturally to Regina, she shared what she believes to be the keys to her success. We talk about some of the challenges she faced including trips to the emergency room, and caring for her asthmatic babe when he was young.

She is a proud mother, thankful for the closeness she shares with her son. Now that he is fully grown, she looks back and confirms, time truly does fly. She's looking forward to seeing her boy find the right woman and make her a grandmother. I wish we could all be so lucky to have a role model like her in our lives. But at least now, we have this talk! Enjoy!!

This is an incredibly informative conversation and one that not many of us are having! What is going on down there? How is everything post baby? How do you do kegal correctly and how many do you need to do? Thanks to Lindsey there are some answers here. And much much more including talk about improving your sex life. Who knew it could actually improve after having children? It’s possible. Get informed. Listen now.

Here's an essential conversation about the various shifts that we go through as parents: identity loss, physical changes, mismanaged expectations, and the light on the other side of that.

A talk with a real live Dutch mother, to see what they are doing differently over there in the Netherlands to make their kids so happy. Rianne is a supermodel and super cool person, comfortable and happy in her own skin. She gives a little insight on what is was like growing up dutch, and raising her child in NYC with a british mate.

My favorite quote from Rianne during our conversation:

“You think you’re not evolving but you are.”

This conversation with inspired father Anwar Issac is uplifting and paradigm shifting. He has a unique perspective on authenticity, trust and death. A very trusting person, he made three mega life changes as he entered fatherhood. Listen here with an open mind and open heart. Celebrating and including fathers in the larger conversation of parenthood is key for a prosperous future. Here’s one we can’t help but love.

Anna is a new mom who is leaning in on the support of her beautiful family. She talks about the value of family, the beauty of learning as you go, and letting go of expectations. She’s been a stay at home mom for the majority of her daughters first year and is now transitioning into working mom life. Listen as she shares her experience with leaving her home of 10 years + to be near her family while her husband travels, and now heading back to work to make some cold hard cash.
