D&A get real about their relationships with technology - the sense of urgency that stems from our phones that tend to pull us from the present moment. We discuss the boundaries we’ve implemented to protect our peace, why we have to create intentional boundaries, how to notice when we need them, how to stick to them and also command respect from others. We’re in a world that can greatly benefit from technology, but we need to use it as a tool vs let it rule us, so we can protect our energy and peace, while also being role models for our children.

We are so honored Sari chose to share her intimate pregnancy and fertility journey with us on today’s episode. Sari shares the difficult process of getting pregnant with her second. She discusses letting go of her desire for a certain age gap, her miscarriage and the isolating feelings that ensued, struggles with self-blame, going through infertility while others around her were sharing their pregnancy announcements, and what led to her success with fertility treatments. Sari is open and raw about the emotional rollercoaster, speaking openly about her mental health and emotions along the way. We discuss what to say / not say to someone who is going through it, the importance of finding someone to advocate for you and the realities of things not being in our control, no matter how much we try.

One of our favorite episodes to date, we welcome Lucie Fink, soon to be mother of 2 (any day now!), video creator, YouTuber and podcast host. As all three of us are pregnant with our second, we discuss the transition from 1-2 and what she would do differently. We dive into the mental toll of breastfeeding, the self-inflicted pressure we sometimes put on ourselves and the resentment of carrying the mental load, regardless of how helpful and present our partner is. Lucie shares about her identity struggles postpartum and how she morphed her platform into one that speaks openly about taboo topics - sex, money and mental health. We get real about money, Lucie’s relationship with it stemming from her upbringing, and how she now approaches it as a mom. This is a must listen episode for any parent…

Living and parenting in France is VERY different than the US and Annabel’s here to answer all of your questions: from why they’re in Paris, what they brought and what they bought, how they found an apartment and a nanny, their daily schedule with Gemma (15 months) and all the ways they’ve adapted to French culture and living. Annabel discusses her observations as an American mom living in Paris, the unique parenting / cultural differences and which French parenting techniques she’s bringing home with her. Lastly, she shares how relocating to Paris with a toddler, while an incredible experience, was not always as glamorous as it may seem. Being completely out of your comfort zone can really test you, but there’s also so much magic in that - so much growth and key lessons that will help shape her motherhood journey.

In today’s episode, D&A take their Instagram series of ‘do I need this’ to the pod for a part 2. They spill the tea on the most asked about baby products: if they’re worth the money, or if they’re worth skipping. They touch on everything from cribs vs bassinets, playmats and Lovevery subscriptions, high chairs, diapers, baby proofing and everything in between - and the highlight, nose booger/mucus devices 😂.

This episode dives into the “Just wait” comments that can easily scare moms and expecting mothers. When people project their labor horror stories, sleepless nights to come, or “watch out for those terrible twos” it can be invalidating and unsettling to say the least. D&A chat about the unwarranted ‘just wait’ comments across every milestone of their motherhood journey.

We get real today with Cameron Rogers, the queen of authenticity on all things motherhood and mental health. No topics are off limits - postpartum depression and anxiety, the “roommate” phase, therapy, sex and intimacy (spoiler alert: she’s having the best sex of her life post-baby), and the identity crisis that comes with motherhood. As three recovering perfectionists, we get into the importance of healing our ‘inner child’ in order to show up best for our children without projecting our past traumas onto them. Cameron shares how she transformed from a high strung, super competitive, fast-phased college athlete turned wall-street professional, and surrendered into the chaos of motherhood.

In today’s episode, we talk about taking care of ourselves as a new mom and how we’ve redefined our definition of self-care. Especially as moms, we need to commit to (not detract from) the practices that make us feel good, mentally and physically, in order to show up as the best mom for our children, in addition to the best version of ourselves. We discuss how we make time for ourselves in this new chapter, our favorite practices and rituals and how feeling good >> looking good in our new era.

Shame came on quite strongly for both of us during motherhood - we felt alone and isolated throughout various stages of pregnancy and motherhood. It’s one of those ugly emotions that eat at you, so we’re here to break it down and share our experiences with it. D opens up about the shame that came up on her breastfeeding journey and A shares about the shame she felt surrounding her birth experience. D&A chat through many other instances of shame they’ve experienced in motherhood and how as women, a lot of the expectations we’re ‘supposed’ to meet are impossible and often times conflicting. We’re supposed to be with our kids 24/7 and not have help, yet we’re also supposed to work and make money. We’re shamed if we take a solo trip with our husbands without our kids, yet also shamed if we don’t put our relationship first. Damned if we do, damned if we don’t.

There are so many “milestones” for our children that are tracked since the day they’re born. Not just from our doctors, but it seems to be the first question most people ask when asking about your child. In this episode, we dive into the emotional component and get real about the shame, guilt and judgement that can arise if our children don’t hit milestones “on time.” We may wonder if our children are behind or blame ourselves for not “doing enough.” D shares openly about her son’s walking status and how our emotions toward milestones are in fact a huge mirror into our past childhood experiences. We chat through what we can do to heal our inner child and remove the shame we attach to it. Our children will forever be hitting milestones, I mean does it ever end? We have to find ways to protect our peace. This is a must listen for any parent going through it.

Megan Roup is a celebrity trainer, founder of The Sculpt Society and most importantly, an incredible and inspiring mom of two. We talk all things identity and chat through the process of re-learning what it means to show up authentically postpartum, working-mom guilt and handling “hustle culture” when you enter motherhood. Megan talks overwhelm and boundaries, while also reminding herself every phase is temporary. We discuss body image, healing unhealthy relationships to food and the mindf*** of body dysmorphia during pregnancy and postpartum. Last but not least, we discuss all things pelvic floor (PSA - it is not normal to pee in your pants postpartum, hear why). Overall, this episode is raw, real and a glimpse into the real rollercoaster ride and balancing act of motherhood.

One of our most requested topics - relationships. With the new responsibility of a child, our relationship dynamic changes - duh, we just don’t think we realized how extreme the change would be. We speak candidly about falling into defined roles, co-existing / co-parenting vs spending quality time together, the importance of clear communication, intentionality with our time, and how we keep our romantic relationship from turning into a business relationship - a work in progress for us.
Is ‘balance” even achievable? Does resentment of carrying the mental load sometimes get in the way of connection? How do we go about prioritizing our partner and not taking our relationship for granted? Tune in to her more…we’ll definitely need a part two.

Today’s episode is all about routines. We’re big fans of routines as they keep us sane, but getting on a routine that works well for your family, be it: sleeping, eating, napping, etc is hard. We chat through the first year of schedule and share our day-to-day routines, including our morning and night time routine. We speak about sleep training, starting solids, meal planning and how everything feels daunting the first time around. We chat about how we block out the noise and do what’s best for our families, go at our own pace and do what feels comfortable to us.

Let’s chat: identity. Yes we are first and foremost moms, but we’re also so much more than that. Regardless of if you’re a working mom or a stay at home mom, we’re all innately multifaceted as humans, we’re sisters and daughters, friends and partners…the list goes on. In this episode, D&A chat about their previous identities, and how they’ve shifted, how motherhood has forced them to take inventory of their ‘roles’ and make adjustments to ensure alignment. They discuss identity crisis, questioning their purpose, uncovering so much about themselves after becoming a mom, and realizing that it’s okay to have conflicting desires - wanting to have a careers, yet also wanting to spend all day with your kids. Wanting to have alone time, but feel guilty taking it. Wanting to have an active social life, but not want to leave the house. All these different expressions can be true at the same time - the shame and guilt that comes with these desires is societal, not our own.
