Leaving My Baby For The First Time (I'm Not Okay)

The Words Every New Mom Needs to Hear ft. Taylor Rae Roman

Taylor Rae Roman has a way of putting into words what so many of us moms feel but can't muster up the brain power to actually explain. In this episode, we talk about the emotional duality of motherhood—the joy and grief that can exist at the same time, the loneliness of the newborn stage, breastfeeding, postpartum recovery, why we should stop saying "mom guilt", the identity shift that comes with becoming a mother, and so much more. We also dive into her viral poems, the inspiration behind them, and why she's choosing to be one-and-done. We of course finish the episode with Unpopular Mompinions. Whether you're in the newborn trenches, chasing toddlers, or simply wondering if anyone else feels the way you do—you'll leave this conversation feeling seen and knowing that, NO, your'e not being too dramatic, because motherhood is f*cking hard.

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.
