**Trigger warning: contains mention of suicide**
On this deeply moving episode, weâre joined by Melissa Lavasaniâa mom of two who turned to psychedelics to heal from postpartum depression when nothing else worked. Melissa opens up about her debilitating struggle with PPD during her second pregnancy and postpartum journey. At the recommendation of a friend, she turned to psychedelics as a last-ditch effortâchoosing to isolate herself in the process due to the stigma and illegality of it at the time.
What followed was a transformation she never couldâve imagined: becoming an advocate for making psychedelics more accessible, especially when it comes to womenâs mental health. Whether youâre personally navigating postpartum depression or not, normalizing these conversations and sharing alternative approaches to healing is powerful and necessary. You are not alone.

Carrie Nachmani, a highly requested guest, mother to Arielle Charnas, Michaela Podolsky, and Danielle Goldberg, shares the journey of motherhood from a very different perspective than our usual guests - looking back on her journey as a grandma. Carrie shares openly about her challenging childhood and how that affected how she stepped into her role of a mother at a young age. We discuss how she raised such a close-knit family, how she fostered qualities of independence, confidence and kindness to her three daughters, and the boundaries she put in place.
We talk about how she handled her kids coming home with a bad grade, bullying at school or fights between her kids. She also shows us that identity shifts come at all different times during our motherhood journeys, and for her, becoming a âgrandfluencerâ, writing cookbooks, all happened after her last daughter was married. Carrieâs positive attitude to life is incredibly inspiring - early or far along on your motherhood journey, this episode will leave you laughing, smiling and incredibly moved.

This episode is a candid, relatable conversation with an NYC mom who shares first hand the unrealistic standards set on moms to âdo it allâ at home while having a powerhouse career. Lia describes the âAha momentâ she had when it became clear she needed to leave her esteemed career in big law and shift her career to a role that allowed her to be more present and flexible with her kids, while feeling fulfilled internally. We discuss the pros and cons of leaving a corporate environment and not having structure, as well as the day-to-day actions we all take to prioritize our husbands and relationships despite being entrepreneurs and âalways onâ.

Lacy opens up about her extraordinary journey, from a childhood shaped by addiction to surviving abduction by a gang in her 20s, battling seven autoimmune diseases, navigating divorce, and more. She shares how she broke free from the cycle of victimhood that once defined her, embraced a profound mindset shift, and defied the odds to become a mother while reparenting herself. We explore the importance of self-advocacy in the medical system, balancing intuition with medical diagnoses, and challenging the âwait and seeâ approachâa topic close to Daleâs heart after her experience with Leoâs toe walking.
Lacyâs candid insights into healing inner wounds, taking accountability for personal growth, and parenting from a conscious, present place will resonate deeply with anyone on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. Lacyâs story is a reminder that no matter how difficult the past, itâs possible to reclaim your narrative and thrive.

Our account has always been about keeping it real, not just sharing the highlight reelsâso itâs time to talk about toddler tantrums. This is a phase none of us can avoid, and we want to normalize it because, honestly, tantrums are a healthy part of development. While weâre definitely not experts (manifesting Dr. Becky as a future podcast guest), weâve picked up a few tips and tricks for navigating tantrums over the past few months. Whether itâs a public meltdown (arms flailing, lying on the ground), a private one at home, or in the middle of the street, weâre here to remind you that youâre not alone. Weâll share whatâs worked for usâand if you have advice, weâre all ears!

She reflects on the challenges of returning to work after maternity leave, the anxiety it brought, and how it led to honest conversations with her team, investors, and community. Carly sheds light on the less glamorous side of entrepreneurship, discussing the delicate balance between running a company and navigating motherhood, as well as the guilt that often arises when one takes priority over the other. We also explore the concept of future tripping, a recurring theme in Carlyâs life, and the strategies she uses to stay grounded.

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.

When the fires struck, we immediately shifted into action mode to support families and moms in need. While weâre still actively helping, weâre now beginning to process everything that has happened.

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.
