Bethany McDaniel, founder of Primally Pure, has revolutionized natural, non-toxic skincare, transforming the way we care for our skin. Beyond her success as an entrepreneur, Bethany is a devoted mom of three who has carved her own unique path in parenting, staying true to her values despite societal expectations. In this episode, we explore a range of topics, from home births and her mindful approach to feeding her kids, to the importance of parenting with presence rather than multitasking. Bethany reflects on resisting the urge to overstimulate children and emphasizes modeling the behavior we want to instill in them. She also shares her favorite clean beauty, haircare, skincare, and kid-friendly snacks, along with her top productivity tips and daily non-negotiables. Motherhood often comes with judgment, but Bethany reminds us of the power of curiosity over criticism, unlocking inspiration in the diversity of parenting approaches.

Katie Sands Bochner is a talented content creator, TV host and a new mom of one. Katie speaks openly about her struggles to conceive, her experience with miscarriage, IUI, IVF and the mental journey / loss of control along the way. Katie opens up about her son’s abrupt arrival into the world over five weeks early, and the unsustainable high she was on, which ultimately led to postpartum depression in the form of intrusive thoughts 6 weeks in. It’s so refreshing to hear Katie talk about her experience with PPD, infertility, undersupply and identity so candidly, sharing so others feel less alone

Join D&A as we recap the past week in LA during what is being called one of the largest natural disasters in U.S. history. We share a play-by-play of the events as they unfolded, the heartbreaking reality of friends and family losing everything overnight, and how our community quickly sprang into action. From the day-to-day challenges of life in LA right now to the difficult decisions we’re making for our families amidst the noise, misinformation, and confusion, we open up about our emotions, learnings, and perspective shifts, as well as the overwhelming sense of gratitude we feel to be safe in our homes. When the fires struck, we immediately shifted into action mode to support families and moms in need. While we’re still actively helping, we’re now beginning to process everything that has happened. This episode is raw, emotional, and heavy as we navigate this journey together. 

*If you are a family affected by the LA fires, please dm us @wearemorethanmoms - we are here for you on this long journey with anything you need. 

**If you’re able to donate, we’re taking Amazon gift cards to [email protected] to help our growing list of families affected, in dire need of support. and sending them out immediately to families in need.

Jordan Younger, also known as The Balanced Blonde rarely guests on podcasts and we are SO honored that she chose to share her story and open up to us on the podcast today. Jordan shares the darker side of pregnancy, as well as the intimate details of her dire health challenges during her second pregnancy. She recounts the physical and mental toll it took on her, the effect it had on her family, and the decisions she was forced to make in order to protect herself, despite them being ‘off-brand’. We discuss the importance of advocating for yourself in a room full of ‘experts’ and strategies to find inner strength even during your most vulnerable times. This episode is raw and unfiltered and an important contrast to ‘blissful’ pregnancy stories that we are constantly surrounded by.

In this episode, Dale and Annabel open up about letting go of control. Annabel shares how her second pregnancy has pushed her into full surrender mode, while Dale reflects on how life with two under two has taught her to release expectations and embrace the chaos. Motherhood and pregnancy are the ultimate bootcamps in relinquishing control—forcing us to let go of rigidity, redefine productivity, and delegate more of the mental load we carry as moms. D&A discuss the challenges of releasing perfection, trusting others to step in, and breaking free from old standards that no longer serve them. They also dive into how this shift extends to their partnerships, learning to trust their husbands to take on more, and finding freedom in releasing control over “how things should be.” If you’ve ever felt the weight of trying to do it all, this conversation will leave you feeling seen and ready to let go.

Today, Dale and Annabel dive into the world of newborn sleep— while they’re not experts, it’s something that’s front and center for them as Dale navigates it with her second baby and Annabel prepares for the arrival of baby number two. From sleep schedules to sleep training, Dale shares her journey of teaching her son to sleep and self-soothe, the differences she’s noticed between her two kids, and the valuable lessons she’s learned about tuning into each child’s needs. Annabel opens up about her toddler’s sleep journey, as well as the stigma and guilt often tied to sleep training and why, despite the judgment, it was the right choice for her family. Together, they discuss the pros and cons of different approaches, offer practical tips for new parents, and explore the various types of newborn nurses—from night nurses to sleep consultants—and what to consider when hiring one. Whether you’re in the trenches of sleepless nights or preparing for your baby’s arrival, this episode is full of honest insights.

One of the most talked about themes on our instagram: navigating in laws / parents. Everyone has their own family dynamic, but D&A shed some light on their personal experiences with their family and in-laws, as well as common family dynamics so many of us experience. They discuss the fine line between parents, ‘parenting’ us vs. being grandparents to our kids, the importance of clear boundaries and outlining roles / responsibilities and the need for mutual respect. While our parents / in laws may want to share opinions and advice for our own benefit, sometimes we as parents need to make our own mistakes and go through our own journey in order to learn and gain confidence as a mom. The mom / in law / parent relationship is a tricky one - we’re definitely not experts on this, but we are learning to set some important boundaries which we hope will help you on your own journeys.

Today's episode is truly special as we sit down with Jeanette Aranda, widely known as ‘Shut The Kale Up.’ Jeanette opens up about her journey through her husband's infidelity and their subsequent divorce, the incredible community that supported her, and the meaningful, honest relationship she cultivated with her two boys as a result. We dive into the beauty of embracing our imperfections, the importance of unlearning childhood patterns to parent consciously, and how to connect with your intuition and inner wisdom as a mom. Jeanette’s perspective is nothing short of inspiring—she lives by the mantra, “Life is happening for me, not to me,” even amidst life’s challenges. This episode is sure to leave you feeling empowered, inspired, and ready to embrace your own imperfectly perfect self.
