Sonny turned five last week!! I cannot believe I have a five-year-old. Timmy and I threw a couple different birthday celebrations for him. I'm telling myself we'll be able to top it next year, but we did get him a pet soooooo who knows! In the end, we bit off more than we could chew as we JUST came off our family vacation. So we decided to bring you along for the ride (recorded in the car!) as we spent the day prepping for the celebration of our favorite person. In this ep, you'll hear our highs and lows from our vacation (I missed my dad), my theory of why I'm so tall (it involves eating something as a baby not many people do nor should), and a recap full of exhaustion from Sonny's party! This is a day in our life as parents. PLUS, we sang you some Zac Brown Band.         This episode is brought to you by Perfect Snacks, Just Thrive, Apostrophe, and Printfresh.   Perfect Bar knows it will be love at first bite, so for a limited time, they’re offering you a chance to try their Refrigerated Protein Bars for FREE.

I had the most eye-opening conversation with Topsie Vandenbosch, a Mindset & Emotional Intelligence Coach & Consultant and a licensed mental health therapist. She's helping entrepreneurs, CEOs, and people in the workforce separate their worth from their work. We talked about the difference between mindset and mental health, how to utilize our emotional intelligence to perform at our best, speaking up in your work environment, and unraveling beliefs rooted in opinion, not facts.    She's worked with everyone from inmates to Fortune 500 CEOs! If there's one thing she knows from her experience working with people from all backgrounds- it's that our mindsets can make or break the success we experience. How we think affects how we feel, which impacts how we behave. She is the host of Crush the Mindset Spiral, a podcast designed for business owners ready to turn their self-doubt into inner belief, their fears into fuel, and their obstacles into opportunities.       This episode is brought to you by Macy's, Perfect Snacks, and Outschool.   Get you back to school essentials at Macy's!

You know those friends you don’t talk to often, but when you do, it’s as if no time has passed? That is how Sabrina Chazen is for me. Love her.

Sabrina is a fellow influencer (IG @sabrinachazen) sharing body positivity, links to plus-size fashion, laughs, fun, awareness, and more. She’s a must-follow. We talked about plus-size fashion, body image, “fat-phobia” in society and medicine, her relationship with food, making mom friends, navigating evolving adult friendships, and more.       This episode is brought to you by GLDN, Nuuly, Clare, and Macy's.   Visit gldn.com to find the perfect jewelry and make it yours- use code WITHWHIT at checkout for 15% off your first purchase.

Ann Hiatt was the right hand to some of tech's most prominent names throughout her career, including Jeff Bezos, Yahoo's Marissa Mayer, and Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. Having left Silicon Valley, Ann shares the secrets behind the curtain to help others advance in their careers and adopt the same forward-thinking that drove these leaders to success. She consults clients worldwide and hosts leadership training events for companies like Starbucks, Prudential, Siemens, AWS, and more. I learned so much during my conversation with her, including advice for saying "no", networking, tips for finding work/life balance, why we should treat our personal lives like our organized, professional ones, and so much more.

I made a legit new friend while interviewing Ali Weiss! Her openness to share is creative, raw, and inspiring. Ali is the ex-wellness blogger turned investigative journalist and comedian whose reputation as The Bukowski of #Wellness has now emerged into The Princess of Taboo. Across various forms of media, this New York native is known for sharp, unapologetic social commentary and a willingness to dive headfirst into so-called “forbidden” topics. We talked bout the “legitimacy” of our jobs, imposter syndrome, stereotypes we have to fight, Instagram facades, psychiatric meds, abortion, and MORE.    Ali’s podcast Tales of Taboo is an anonymous confessions show investigating - and celebrating - what happens behind closed doors. Forgoing the traditional interview podcast format, she dissolves the boundaries between host and audience by creating episodes around their unique experiences, with subjects ranging from the fashion and sex industries to sorority culture to drug addicts & dealers. The result is provocative and profoundly moving — a unique juxtaposition that’s the nucleus of Ali’s brand.       This episode is brought to you by WHOOP, Macy's, and GLDN.   WHOOP isn’t just another fitness wearable - it’s designed to provide personalized and actionable data based on your body.

This is one of my favorite episodes to date. I connected with Dr. Ellen Vora on an amazing level. She really got me and communicated about mental health in a way that strongly resonated. Ellen Vora, MD, is a holistic psychiatrist, acupuncturist, and yoga teacher. She takes a functional medicine approach to mental health—considering the whole person and addressing imbalance at the root. We hit some GREAT topics, including the meanings of "false" and "true" anxiety, tips for coping with these anxieties, considering mental illnesses as symptoms vs. diagnoses, and how to listen to your body. Plus, I shared more insight into my fertility/pregnancy anxieties - her response was just what I needed. Dr. Vora received her B.A. from Yale University and her M.D. from Columbia University, and she is board-certified in psychiatry and integrative holistic medicine. She is the author of The Anatomy of Anxiety: Understanding and Overcoming the Body's Fear Response.       This episode is brought to you by WHOOP, Munk Pack and Macy's.   WHOOP isn’t just another fitness wearable - it’s designed to provide personalized and actionable data based on your body.

I LOVE skincare and makeup. You know. I'd love to break into that industry somehow. But is it too saturated already? I'd have to consider what different perspectives I could add. Till then, I had the pleasure of chatting with Carrie Barber. She's currently the owner and creative director of Make Beauty - a beauty brand founded in 2013 and reset by Carrie in 2021. Carrie launched MAKE 2.0, a collection of practical personal care essentials designed to work seamlessly into your daily routine. Partnering with biotech labs, their formulas utilize sustainable botanical materials, Lab Engineered Natural Ingredients (or L.E.N.I.), and skin-compatible synthetics that push beyond the concept of clean. We talked about what it took to rebrand and rebuild an already established brand and how to simplify our beauty routines - something I'm always telling myself I need to do.
