EP 469. It’s been 2 years since Ashleigh was last on the show and almost 4 years since she self-published her wildly popular book, ‘Swing: A Memoir of Doing It All’, so there’s lots to catch up on! Ashleigh covers tons of ground and deep dives into her recent divorce, relating how it’s led to more personal growth than ever for her. They both discuss the complexities of motherhood, guilt around traditional roles, and the hard-fought self-permission to change—something Ashleigh embraced wholeheartedly after her split. She’s also concentrated more of her time on coaching aspiring writers—a true passion of hers—to get their books written and published. This episode is full of powerful reflections on self-worth, personal growth, and the freedom to break societal norms—don’t miss it!

EP459: Renee is back this week talking to Janelle Riddle, who recently went viral on TikTok for a post aimed at the complex (and sometimes toxic) mother-in-law/daughter-in-law dynamic. No doubt that this can be a tricky relationship to navigate, especially with the generational differences in parenting that exist now. But there’s always room for common ground, and of course this relationship can be perfectly healthy if there are honest discussions on both sides. Janelle talks about setting expectations and clear boundaries, especially during the stressful postpartum period, to maintain a good relationship. Tune in for some insightful chats about both women’s experiences with their own MILs and why social media has given them a new platform to share and heal from their experiences.

EP457: This week, Renee chats with Jo Mathisen, a producer behind the groundbreaking documentary The M Factor, which explores the very misunderstood and almost taboo topic of menopause. The conversation touches on everything from personal experiences with difficult symptoms to the creation of the film itself to the self-advocacy work that Jo stresses every woman should be doing. Jo also talks about the eye-popping revelation that through her own journey, she was repeatedly misdiagnosed and under-cared for, as there was a severe lack of knowledge and understanding in the medical establishment about this significant phase in women’s lives. As a result, one of the film’s key goals is to normalize menopause, raise awareness, and advocate for better education, both for women and medical professionals. Tune in for an enlightening and important conversation about women’s health!
