Descripción

My FINAL ep before baby girl Kiel arrives. This week, I sit down with Shannon and Katherine, founders of Mat Leave Moms, to discuss how they built a thriving community for new mothers seeking connection, support, and friendship. From stroller walks to organized events, they share the story behind their growing Halifax mom community, the challenges of balancing motherhood and personal identity, and why supportive spaces for moms are so important. This conversation is an honest, relatable look at modern motherhood, community building, and the power of moms supporting moms. Follow: @matleavemoms Learn More: https://www.matleavemoms.ca/

Life Updates: Pregnancy, Our Vulvas & Mormon Wives Drama

Life lately? A mix of deep emotions, growing boobs, and peeing in the shower (because… pregnancy). I'm preparing for baby number two while soaking up every second with Kash — and it's this strange, beautiful tension of loving what is while bracing for what's coming. Because how is it possible to love another baby as much as I love him? In this episode, I get into some of the cultural conversations that have been everywhere lately — from the new season of Mormon Wives and the never-ending Taylor Frankie Paul drama, to Zach's take on stay-at-home dads and the idea that we all need something that's just ours. I also touch on voices like Lo Bosworth and her podcast Tell Me I Am a Good Mom, where she speaks openly about identity, ambition, and carving out space for yourself within this season of life. Thanks so much for listening 🤍

Hot Takes: Can You Love Two the Same? + The Formula Conversation We're Afraid to Have

As I get closer to baby number two arriving, I've been reflecting a lot on my little boy, Kash, turning three — and how fast these early years fly. I've also been sitting with a feeling so many moms quietly have: how could I possibly love another child as much as I love him? The truth is, love grows — it stretches in ways we can't imagine until we're there. Plus, we're getting into some Hot Takes 👀 Hot Take: This Week's Headlines — Formula vs. Breastfeeding Inspired by the convo sparked by Elsie Hewitt (girlfriend of Pete Davidson) and her decision not to breastfeed — and why feeding choices still bring so much pressure and judgment. Hot Take: My Unpopular Opinion — Visitors After Baby When, who, and how soon is actually supportive… and when it's not. Hot Take: We Need to Stop — The Pressure on New Moms From feeding to bouncing back — why the expectations need to chill.
