Trusting Yourself as a Mom ft. Nitsan Raiter

In this episode of Long Story Short, I’m joined by creator, entrepreneur, and mom Nitsan Raiter for an honest conversation about identity, intuition, and navigating all the challenges of being a mom. We talk about trusting your instincts as a parent (even when ChatGPT, Reddit, and your group chat all have different opinions), navigating mom guilt, making tough decisions with confidence, and why your priorities inevitably shift once you have a baby. We also get real about the postpartum experience—from the weird identity crisis of wondering if you'll ever feel like yourself again, to realizing that motherhood doesn't have to take away from who you are. If you've ever questioned whether you're doing enough, struggled with the pressure to "have it all," or found yourself overthinking every decision because now a tiny human is involved, this episode is for you.
