In this episode with Dr. Sara Bloom, we unpack the hidden emotional and physical toll of modern motherhood — and why so many women feel exhausted, disconnected, and constantly behind despite doing everything “right.” We explore how today’s wellness culture often asks mothers to optimize more, perform more, and carry more, when what they truly need is restoration, nervous system support, and permission to slow down.

We also dive into what led Sara to create Mavie, a maternal wellness app intentionally built without streaks, scores, or pressure to “do wellness perfectly.” Designed to meet mothers where they are, Mavie focuses on realistic support through simple practices, accessible tools, and meaningful community.

Whether you’re a new mom, navigating identity shifts, or feeling overwhelmed by the always-on pace of modern life, this episode is a reminds me to the days I jumped er that wellness should support you, not become another responsibility to manage.

Today we’re joined by Miriam Gersht of Lakoom Fit and mom of three to talk about two things: what actually works when it comes to postpartum fitness and body composition—and what it looks like to start a business in the middle of motherhood.

We all have both: the mom friend who never complains and swears everything is “amazing”… and the one who tells you exactly how it really is.

We talk about finding the middle: being honest and vulnerable without losing perspective. You can love your kids and struggle at the same time. You can be deeply grateful to be pregnant and still have a hard experience, both can be true.

We also break down venting (which connects and releases) vs. staying stuck (which loops and drains), and how to tell when you need support versus a gentle call-out. This episode is for you if you’re craving a space to be real about motherhood—where you don’t have to pretend everything is perfect, but also don’t want to stay stuck in the hard.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Tiffany Fischman: Dale’s pediatrician, mom of four, and Director of Pediatric Health at Sollis Health, to unpack the invisible mental load of motherhood, especially when it comes to your child’s health.

From the constant “is this normal?” to those 2AM moments when something feels off, we dive into decision paralysis, intuition vs. anxiety, and why so many moms feel stuck in the spiral. We also talk about what parents are actually worried about, the need for reassurance, and how the relationship between doctors and parents is shifting toward true partnership. We get into where the system falls short, why fragmented care adds stress, and how having the right support can change everything: for both your child and you.

If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself, spiraled in the middle of the night, or just want to feel more confident navigating your child’s health, this episode is for you.

Sollis Pediatrics is rethinking care for modern families with a dedicated pediatrician and 24/7 access to ER-trained clinicians, now exclusively available in LA. Use code MTM for 15% off membership and experience a more seamless, immediate approach to your child’s health.

Now that both of our kids are officially potty trained, we’re dedicating an episode to this major rite of passage in motherhood.

We share the different methods we each used, how our experiences varied, and the differences we noticed between boys vs. girls and starting at different ages. We also debunk some common potty training myths and talk about what actually worked (and what didn’t). Most importantly, we’re keeping it real: sharing the messy, frustrating, and funny moments so you don’t feel like you have to go through it alone.

If you’re in thick of potty training, about to start, or just want honest insight from moms who’ve been there, this episode is for you.

Danae Mercer has built a global platform exposing the truth behind what we see online—how angles, lighting, editing, and now AI can completely distort reality.

But today, it goes beyond filters. With the rise of GLP-1s, hyper-edited content, and constant comparison, the pressure on our bodies and our minds—has reached a new level.

In this episode, we talk about body image in today’s world, the link between social media and anxiety, and what it means to raise children in an environment where comparison feels constant and often unavoidable. We get into:

• The pressure to “bounce back” after motherhood
• AI influencers and unrealistic standards
• Social media’s impact on confidence and self-worth
• And how to actually raise grounded, confident kids in a filtered world (especially girl moms!)

This episode is for anyone navigating body image—and every parent asking: how do we protect our kids from a world that keeps telling them they’re not enough? 🎙️

Before you roll your eyes at the idea of waking up before your kids—this isn’t that kind of episode.

This isn’t about being more productive or doing more. It’s about creating space for yourself before tending to everyone else’s needs. Because without that time, it’s easy to spend your days in reactivity—jumping from one need to the next—instead of moving through your day with intention.

In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to carve out even a small moment for yourself, why it’s been life-changing for us, and how to approach it in a way that actually feels supportive—not stressful. Because it’s not about waking up earlier, it’s about carving time for yourself.

If you’re on maternity leave and dreading going back to work—this is for you. Or if you’re feeling stuck in your career post kids.

We talk a lot about the physical changes after having a baby, but rarely the internal shift—who you are now, what you want, and what no longer fits.

In this episode, we explore the in-between—outgrowing old identities, questioning your career, and navigating what’s next.

We also share our own experiences, along with stories from members of our Next Chapter group —our coaching space for moms navigating this in-between. Because maybe nothing is “wrong”, you’re just evolving into your next chapter. If you’re feeling stuck and craving clarity, send us a DM—we’d love to support you.
