Descripción

This week miiiiiight just be one of our best yet—I’m joined by the one and only Alexandra Madison for a truly unfiltered conversation on motherhood, marriage, life online, & more. As expected, Alex was open, vulnerable, and nothing short of amazing. She shares a behind-the-scenes look at life 7 months postpartum—from her breastfeeding journey to navigating pregnancy after loss, and how that experience shaped her perspective as a mom. We also get into what it’s like working with her husband Jon, plus their decision not to show their baby, Lucy, on social media (who knew Jon in a bow would be such a phenomenon). And of course, we had to dive into our unpopular mom opinions—aka “mompinions”—from co-sleeping to baby-led weaning and everything in between. This is a MUST-listen - real, honest, and chaotic in the best way!! Xoxo Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]

Starting Solids 101 ft. Jessica Aleman

In this episode, we're talking about one of the most exciting—and absolutely terrifying—milestones of parenthood: feeding your baby actual food. It's hereeee: The Feeding Episode! As someone who's been a complete nervous wreck about starting solids, I sat down with feeding expert Jessica Aleman, MSEd, CCC-SLP, a Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist, to get answers to all the questions that have been living rent-free in my head. We cover everything from What the hell is baby-led weaning? to What's the difference between gagging and choking? to Can I just give my baby purées forever? Jessica breaks down the science, clears up common misconceptions, and shares practical advice to help parents feel more confident as they navigate this exciting new stage. If you're overwhelmed by conflicting advice online, terrified of allergens, or wondering whether you're doing any of this right, this episode is for you. Consider this your judgment-free guide to starting solids—with a lot less panic and a lot more confidence. Xoxo  Learn more about your ad choices.

episode Trusting Yourself as a Mom ft. Nitsan Raiter artwork

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.

Hellooooo beautiful gals!! If your baby’s sleep schedule (or lack thereof) has you spiraling… this episode is for you. I sat down with a sleep consultant to break down everything—from sleep hygiene and the science behind infant sleep, to how to actually get your baby to nap (without a 45-minute battle) and sleep better at night. We talk about the habits you should be instilling early, what really matters (and what doesn’t), and how to soothe your baby without relying on the pacifier. Plus, we’re busting some of the biggest myths around baby sleep that might be keeping you stuck. Whether you’re deep in the newborn trenches or trying to fix short naps and night wakings, this episode will leave you feeling informed, confident, and way less alone. Long story short… your baby doesn’t HAVE to be a “bad sleeper”. Xoxo Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]
