In today’s episode, Dale shares how she’s getting ready for baby #2 (and two under two), the differences between her two pregnancies and what she’s planning on doing differently this time. We answer all of your questions - from how she found out (and the shock / conflicting emotions that came with it), how she’s been talking about it with Leo / how she’s planning their first meeting, the new boundaries she’s going to set in her postpartum period around visitors and maternity leave, the help she plans on having, the guilt she feels on spending less time with Leo and so much more. This is a must listen - all the questions around pregnancy and postpartum ‘planning’ answered.

Living and parenting in France is VERY different than the US and Annabel’s here to answer all of your questions: from why they’re in Paris, what they brought and what they bought, how they found an apartment and a nanny, their daily schedule with Gemma (15 months) and all the ways they’ve adapted to French culture and living. Annabel discusses her observations as an American mom living in Paris, the unique parenting / cultural differences and which French parenting techniques she’s bringing home with her. Lastly, she shares how relocating to Paris with a toddler, while an incredible experience, was not always as glamorous as it may seem. Being completely out of your comfort zone can really test you, but there’s also so much magic in that - so much growth and key lessons that will help shape her motherhood journey.

In today’s episode, D&A take their Instagram series of ‘do I need this’ to the pod for a part 2. They spill the tea on the most asked about baby products: if they’re worth the money, or if they’re worth skipping. They touch on everything from cribs vs bassinets, playmats and Lovevery subscriptions, high chairs, diapers, baby proofing and everything in between - and the highlight, nose booger/mucus devices 😂.

This episode dives into the “Just wait” comments that can easily scare moms and expecting mothers. When people project their labor horror stories, sleepless nights to come, or “watch out for those terrible twos” it can be invalidating and unsettling to say the least. D&A chat about the unwarranted ‘just wait’ comments across every milestone of their motherhood journey.

We get real today with Cameron Rogers, the queen of authenticity on all things motherhood and mental health. No topics are off limits - postpartum depression and anxiety, the “roommate” phase, therapy, sex and intimacy (spoiler alert: she’s having the best sex of her life post-baby), and the identity crisis that comes with motherhood. As three recovering perfectionists, we get into the importance of healing our ‘inner child’ in order to show up best for our children without projecting our past traumas onto them. Cameron shares how she transformed from a high strung, super competitive, fast-phased college athlete turned wall-street professional, and surrendered into the chaos of motherhood.

In today’s episode, we talk about taking care of ourselves as a new mom and how we’ve redefined our definition of self-care. Especially as moms, we need to commit to (not detract from) the practices that make us feel good, mentally and physically, in order to show up as the best mom for our children, in addition to the best version of ourselves. We discuss how we make time for ourselves in this new chapter, our favorite practices and rituals and how feeling good >> looking good in our new era.

Shame came on quite strongly for both of us during motherhood - we felt alone and isolated throughout various stages of pregnancy and motherhood. It’s one of those ugly emotions that eat at you, so we’re here to break it down and share our experiences with it. D opens up about the shame that came up on her breastfeeding journey and A shares about the shame she felt surrounding her birth experience. D&A chat through many other instances of shame they’ve experienced in motherhood and how as women, a lot of the expectations we’re ‘supposed’ to meet are impossible and often times conflicting. We’re supposed to be with our kids 24/7 and not have help, yet we’re also supposed to work and make money. We’re shamed if we take a solo trip with our husbands without our kids, yet also shamed if we don’t put our relationship first. Damned if we do, damned if we don’t.

There are so many “milestones” for our children that are tracked since the day they’re born. Not just from our doctors, but it seems to be the first question most people ask when asking about your child. In this episode, we dive into the emotional component and get real about the shame, guilt and judgement that can arise if our children don’t hit milestones “on time.” We may wonder if our children are behind or blame ourselves for not “doing enough.” D shares openly about her son’s walking status and how our emotions toward milestones are in fact a huge mirror into our past childhood experiences. We chat through what we can do to heal our inner child and remove the shame we attach to it. Our children will forever be hitting milestones, I mean does it ever end? We have to find ways to protect our peace. This is a must listen for any parent going through it.

Megan Roup is a celebrity trainer, founder of The Sculpt Society and most importantly, an incredible and inspiring mom of two. We talk all things identity and chat through the process of re-learning what it means to show up authentically postpartum, working-mom guilt and handling “hustle culture” when you enter motherhood. Megan talks overwhelm and boundaries, while also reminding herself every phase is temporary. We discuss body image, healing unhealthy relationships to food and the mindf*** of body dysmorphia during pregnancy and postpartum. Last but not least, we discuss all things pelvic floor (PSA - it is not normal to pee in your pants postpartum, hear why). Overall, this episode is raw, real and a glimpse into the real rollercoaster ride and balancing act of motherhood.
