Am I Burnt Out or Depressed? ft Tay Lautner

Am I Burnt Out or Depressed? ft Tay Lautner

Am I burnt out, or am I actually depressed? Tay Lautner — mental health advocate, former COVID nurse, and co-host of The Squeeze — knows how blurry that line gets, and she's built a whole life out of saying the quiet part out loud. Now 27 weeks pregnant with her first baby girl, Tay gets real about anxiety, PTSD, and why your brain sometimes protects you by blocking out the hardest moments — the kind she watched play out on the worst nights of a hospital shift. We dig into your group-chat questions: how to show up for a friend who's a brand-new mom, how to stay sane when the world feels bleak, and how to actually tell exhaustion apart from depression. It's the 2 a.m. spiral conversation that leaves you 10 pounds lighter. — In this episode: - The "basics checklist" Tay runs when her mental health dips — and why it starts with water - Why you can't remember the weeks after a traumatic C-section, and why that's your body protecting you - How to be a good friend to someone deep in newborn survival mode - The one question that separates burnout from depression: does rest actually fix it? - Here's a clean sponsor block to paste at the bottom of your episode description — copy-paste ready: — Thank you to our sponsors: - ResortPass — Visit ⁠resortpass.com/goodmom⁠ [http://resortpass.com/goodmom] and use code GOODMOM for $20 off your first booking of $100 or more. - Honest — Shop Honest on Amazon, Walmart, and Target. - Hatch Baby — Head to ⁠hatch.co/baby⁠ [http://hatch.co/baby] to shop and get real-time sleep support.

What Does it Actually Take to Raise 4 Kids in 2026 ft. Nia Sanchez

Four kids under five, including twins. Nia Sanchez of The Valley and former Miss USA joins Lo to get brutally honest about what raising a big family in 2026 actually costs, financially, maritally, and personally. While every headline says people are having fewer kids, Nia is living the opposite choice, and she's not pretending it looks like the highlight reel. She and Lo dig into the parenting expense that shocked her most, what really causes fights in a house with four kids, and why women are so afraid to admit they have help. — In this episode: * The double standard: what society expects from mothers but never from fathers * What would happen if all of Nia's help disappeared tomorrow * The part of motherhood women are quietly struggling with but nobody says out loud * The biggest lie social media tells mothers — This episode is brought to you by: * ResortPass: Get $20 off your first booking of $100 or more at resortpass.com/goodmom * Skylight: Get $30 off your 15 inch Calendar at myskylight.com/GOODMOM * Roller Rabbit: Take 20% off your purchase of $150 or more with code GOODMOM20 at rollerrabbit.com (terms and exclusions apply) * Rythm: Get 15% off your first month plus free shipping at rythm.health/goodmom * BON CHARGE: Save 15% with code GOODMOM at boncharge.com — 📺 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@lobosworth [https://www.youtube.com/@lobosworth] 📖 Newsletter: https://substack.com/@lobosworth [https://substack.com/@lobosworth] 🛍️ Love Wellness: https://lovewellness.com [https://lovewellness.com/] 📱 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lobosworth [https://www.instagram.com/lobosworth] 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lobosworth [https://www.tiktok.com/@lobosworth] — Tell Me I'm a Good Mom is part of the Dear Media [https://dearmedia.com/] podcast network.

Q+A: When The Medical System Fails Us

This week I'm answering your Group Chat questions on the medical care gap for women. It's real, we all experience it, it's not your doctor's fault (but maybe sometimes it is - I have personally experienced that before), and IT SUCKS. The system should do better and today I'm getting into all of it from how to get your doctor to take you seriously, to gaps in postpartum care, to how we need to be paying more attention to Dad's mental state. I got hundreds of inbound questions and stories on this topic and this episode is a must listen.  — Sponsors: Visit www.hatch.co/baby [http://www.hatch.co/baby] to learn more about Hatch Baby, or find Hatch Baby on Amazon, Target and Babylist registries.

Surprise! This is Motherhood, lol ft. Cameron Oaks Rogers

This week, I'm joined by Cameron Oakes Rogers (aka Freckled Foodie) for a conversation that felt less like a podcast and more like the group chat every new mom wishes she had. We talk about the parts of motherhood nobody really prepares you for: postpartum depression, intrusive thoughts, identity shifts, medical trauma, the shock of pregnancy, and the reality of bringing a baby home when everyone seems focused on the baby—but not on you. Cam shares her experience with postpartum depression after her first child, why her second postpartum experience was completely different, and what changed. I open up about my own postpartum depression, the complications surrounding my delivery, and the lingering questions that come with medical trauma after birth. We also get into the massive gaps in postpartum care, why women are still left piecing together so much information on their own, and the pressure to have the "right" motherhood experience when the truth is that every journey looks different. And because no mom conversation is complete without it, we answer your questions about mom friendships, mom cliques, and the baby products we actually think are worth buying (and the ones we absolutely don't). If you've ever found yourself wondering, "Is this normal?"—this episode is for you. Topics include: * Postpartum depression and anxiety * Intrusive thoughts and maternal mental health * Pregnancy expectations vs. reality * Medical trauma after birth * Why postpartum care is still failing women * The identity shift of becoming a mother * Mom friendships and social pressure * Baby products worth the money (and what to skip) Because women deserve the truth about motherhood—and nobody should have to figure it out alone.
