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 🤍

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.
