Unbridled Mom

Unbridled Mom: A Raw Reintroduction, Neurodivergent Parenting, and the Courage to Unmask In this introductory episode of Unbridled Mom (the new iteration of my earlier podcast, The Professional Mom Squad), I share how the last three to four years reshaped my mission through an identity transformation influenced by astrology, a “death and rebirth” wake-up call, and realizing my three boys are neurodivergent—and that I’m neurocomplex too. I explain what “unbridled” means to me: unmasking, unlearning conditioning about being palatable as women, and showing up real, raw, and messy while parenting sensitive, intense, neurodivergent kids. I talk about why supporting moms is at the center of this work, how dark household struggles became catalysts for more authenticity and love, and how the show will blend practical help with deeper, spiritual explorations. I also introduce my background as a longtime lawyer, philosophy major, and drum-journey practitioner, and preview upcoming topics like diagnosis as a lens.

In this episode, Dr. Dorian Traube is about to drop some knowledge.  When she started talking about what infant mental health is, why it is important and how we can foster it in our babies, it all made perfect sense. Armed with knowledge, we can all do better.
