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 âoff-brandâ. We discuss the importance of advocating for yourself in a room full of âexpertsâ and strategies to find inner strength even during your most vulnerable times. This episode is raw and unfiltered and an important contrast to âblissfulâ 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 controlâforcing 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 âhow things should be.â If youâve ever felt the weight of trying to do it all, this conversation will leave you feeling seen and ready to let go.

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, âparentingâ 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 - weâre definitely not experts on this, but we are learning to set some important boundaries which we hope will help you on your own journeys.

An inspiring, âgoosebump-inducingâ episode on resilience and strength with Ann Marks - a single mom of three and the founder of full feedings: a supportive online program to help parents get more sleep, without having to do any drastic sleep training or letting your baby cry it out. Ann shares her raw and unfiltered journey, navigating the loss of both her parents, going through a rough divorce, all while simultaneously raising 3 kids and building a business on sleep to provide for her family (stark difference from her days on Americaâs Next Top Model). We speak openly about her grief, how she processed it, her best advice to anyone going through loss or divorce as well as those supporting those grieving. Annâs attitude to life is so refreshing, it all came down to a choice - to continue showing up for her family, to make ends meet, and to let go of her past childhood patterns and parent from a more self-aware and conscious place. Be prepared to cry, laugh and fall in love with this amazing women through her story - no sugar coating, no striving for perfection, just real life.

An incredible raw and vulnerable conversation with ex Real Housewives of Toronto, Roxy Earle. Roxy is an entrepreneur, body positivity enthusiast, and incredible mama of two. This is a must listen episode on reinvention, resilience and loving yourself for who you are. Roxy shares about her life in the spotlight pre motherhood, thriving in public, yet crumbling in private. She opens up about her toxic relationship and how it ultimately brainwashed her, why she thought she was infertile and how her rock bottom enabled her to be the inspiring mom she is today. Roxy also shares the traumatic details of her second birth (trigger warning) which emphasizes how important it is to advocate for yourself. Such an inspiring story and such impactful takeaways around body acceptance, identity shifts, the importance of our self worth not being defined by our looks or accomplishments and as Roxy says, ânever outsource your self-esteemâ.

Iâm sure many moms listening can relate, the pressure to âdoâ is real. It was real before kids, but itâs even more accentuated post kids. D&A discuss how theyâve started to unlearn old programming of âdo, do, doâ, how taking moments for themselves to recharge is just as important and how multitasking, while sometimes a good thing, can also be detrimental. They also talk about the boundaries and systems they have in place to ensure theyâre including time to rest, either alone or with family, so they can be present and recharged.

So many of you have asked us to share more about our careers so here it is! Spoiler alert, we both work full-time and More Than Moms was started as a passion project to quench our longing for community as new moms. We discuss our careers post-college and how they morphed into what we do and who we are today. While we have had very different career paths, weâve shared many common themes including embracing change, taking risks, evolving, pivoting, and starting before we were ready. We speak candidly about how motherhood shifted our careers, our struggles / identity crisis in motherhood and how ultimately, motherhood allowed us to really uncover and show up as our authentic self, creating more alignment in our lives. We dive into identity shifts, not letting our career âtitleâ identify who we are, and the many parts of our identity aside from motherhood - because if youâre a working mom or stay at home mom, weâre all more than moms.

Tara Moni joins us today on the podcast! She had 3 boys under 2 (now 3 under 3). When her first son was 18 months, she welcomed identical twin boys into her family. Sheâs the founder of La Maregold, a resort-wear brand and a content creator. We dive into the unglamorous truths of what âdoing it allâ actually means (spoiler alert, itâs not possible). Tara is unapologetically herself which is so refreshing, and shares authentically about the behind the scenes village that allows her to work, have a social life and make time for her husband/friends, all while having 3 young kids. As a girly girl living with 3 boys and her husband, Tara continues to foster her femininity and creativity through her love for fashion.
Tara shares her journey from running partnerships at SomethingNavy to venturing out on her own / starting her dream brand post kids - letting go of resistance to her changing identity and instead embracing it. We discuss how she skipped the transition from 1-2 and went directly from 1-3 kids, and how that impacted her identity, her relationship dynamic and her parenting styles. And of course, we get you some great styling tips on how to dress during pregnancy and postpartum from the queen herself - hint: effortless and affordable sets!

Intimacy (physical, emotional, mental & spiritual) evolves a lot during motherhood. For us, intimacy doesnât feel as easy and âspontaneousâ as it used to be, it requires intention, nurturing and sometimes even planning now that we have more responsibilities. We chat through our love languages, our new definitions of intimacy and how we foster it in our relationships, false expectations, as well as learnings from âThe Queenâs codeâ by Alison A. Armstrong which has helped us better understand how men operate.

So special to have Michaela Podolsky on todayâs episode. She has not done a podcast since 2021 (with her sister Arielle Charnas), so we feel SUPER honored she decided to share with us. Weâve both been following Michaela for quite some time, so this was a full circle moment for us. Michaela shares the realities of 3 under 3, what the hardest transition was, and how being pregnant for 4 consecutive years impacts your identity and relationship with your body. She also shares openly about losing a twin in her first pregnancy and navigating that loss, while moving to Florida away from her family in NYC who she is exceptionally close with. We dive into Michaelaâs relationship with her sisters and how theyâve inspired her career / motherhood journey, as well as her relationship with her husband, Brett, and their secret to a strong relationship after 3 kids and 10+ years of being together. She discusses how she parents vs. how she was raised - including how her own mother instilled confidence in her at a young age. Overall, Michaelaâs positive, glass half full attitude to life is incredibly refreshing and inspiring and we know you will love this episode as much as we did!

D&A get real about their relationships with technology - the sense of urgency that stems from our phones that tend to pull us from the present moment. We discuss the boundaries weâve implemented to protect our peace, why we have to create intentional boundaries, how to notice when we need them, how to stick to them and also command respect from others. Weâre in a world that can greatly benefit from technology, but we need to use it as a tool vs let it rule us, so we can protect our energy and peace, while also being role models for our children.

We are so honored Sari chose to share her intimate pregnancy and fertility journey with us on todayâs episode. Sari shares the difficult process of getting pregnant with her second. She discusses letting go of her desire for a certain age gap, her miscarriage and the isolating feelings that ensued, struggles with self-blame, going through infertility while others around her were sharing their pregnancy announcements, and what led to her success with fertility treatments. Sari is open and raw about the emotional rollercoaster, speaking openly about her mental health and emotions along the way. We discuss what to say / not say to someone who is going through it, the importance of finding someone to advocate for you and the realities of things not being in our control, no matter how much we try.

One of our favorite episodes to date, we welcome Lucie Fink, soon to be mother of 2 (any day now!), video creator, YouTuber and podcast host. As all three of us are pregnant with our second, we discuss the transition from 1-2 and what she would do differently. We dive into the mental toll of breastfeeding, the self-inflicted pressure we sometimes put on ourselves and the resentment of carrying the mental load, regardless of how helpful and present our partner is. Lucie shares about her identity struggles postpartum and how she morphed her platform into one that speaks openly about taboo topics - sex, money and mental health. We get real about money, Lucieâs relationship with it stemming from her upbringing, and how she now approaches it as a mom. This is a must listen episode for any parentâŠ

Exciting news! Annabel is pregnant and found out unexpectedly the week before she left to Paris for the summer. This episode shares the behind the scenes journey from a few days before she left at only 5 weeks pregnant, to right when she returned at almost 12 weeks! Annabel shares it all - the feeling of finding out she was pregnant and then leaving her comfort zone for 2 months, to finding an OB in Paris and how different the process / guidelines were (from doctor bedside manner to food restrictions), and how she dealt with navigating nausea/fatigue in a new environment.
