Postpartum is one of the most life-altering seasons of motherhood, and yet it is often one of the most overlooked.

In today’s episode I’m joined by Courtney Boylan, mom of three and founder of Le Lolo, a brand created from her own postpartum experience and the deep realization that so many moms are left feeling unseen, unsupported, and treated more like a checklist than a human being.

Courtney and I talk about the emotional reality of postpartum, the identity shift that happens after birth, and why moms need more than clinical advice. They need reassurance, community, and reminders that they still matter.

This conversation is honest, validating, and full of the kind of support every mom deserves in the early days.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What postpartum really feels like and why it can be so isolating
• The identity shift that happens after becoming a mom
• Why postpartum support often feels too clinical and not personal enough
• The emotional and mental load moms carry in the early days
• How we can better support moms beyond asking “How’s the baby?”
• Encouragement for the mom who feels lost, invisible, or overwhelmed
• What Courtney wishes someone had told her during postpartum
• How Courtney’s experience led her to create Le Lolo

If you’re in postpartum right now

This episode is your reminder that you are not alone, you are not failing, and you still matter.

Have you ever had a random, scary thought pop into your head and immediately wondered, What is wrong with me?
You’re not alone — and you’re not a bad mom.

In this episode I break down intrusive thoughts in motherhood: why they happen, what they actually mean (and don’t mean), and how they show up in different stages — from brand-new moms to moms of teens.

We’re talking about the thoughts no one wants to admit out loud, why our brains create them, and what to do when one sneaks in and sends your anxiety spiraling. This is a reassuring, judgment-free conversation meant to help you breathe a little easier and feel less alone.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• What intrusive thoughts are — and why they feel so alarming
• Why motherhood puts our brains into overprotective mode
• Intrusive thought examples from different stages of motherhood:
  • New moms & babies
  • Toddlers and little kids
  • School-age kids
  • Teens
• The biggest mistakes moms make when intrusive thoughts show up
• What actually helps when a scary thought pops into your head
• When intrusive thoughts are a sign to seek extra support

Key Takeaway

Intrusive thoughts are not intuition, desires, or predictions. They’re a misfiring protection system — and the fact that they bother you is actually a sign of how much you care.

What if the phone could wait—but childhood couldn’t?

In this episode of Burnt Pancakes: Momversations, I’m joined by Adam Ferguson, author of The Things You Have to Do Before I Buy You a Phone, a playful and practical guide for raising capable kids in a screen-saturated world. Adam shares why technology has quietly replaced so many coming-of-age experiences and how parents can bring them back without guilt, pressure, or perfection.

This conversation isn’t about banning screens. It’s about giving kids the chance to build independence, curiosity, confidence, and grit before a phone enters the picture. From letting kids wrestle with boredom to teaching real-life skills, Adam walks us through what “core childhood” looks like today and how families can make it work in real life.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why kids are getting phones earlier than ever and what they’re missing because of it
• The surprising benefits of boredom and unstructured time
• What “core childhood” really means
• How the book’s 50 challenges help kids build confidence and independence
• An open conversation about the realities of parenting in a smart phone world
• The long-term impact these experiences have on kids
• Why the phone can wait, but memories can’t

Whether your child is years away from a phone or already asking daily, this episode will leave you feeling encouraged, empowered, and excited to slow things down and savor childhood.

Today I’m joined by integrative fertility coach and former pharmacist Katie Wood, whose personal fertility journey completely transformed the way she supports women today.

After months of not conceiving, feeling dismissed by her OB-GYN, and searching for answers that traditional medicine couldn’t give her, Katie discovered the power of acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and whole-body healing. That experience led her to conceiving and ultimately build a career helping women conceive naturally—with real support, not quick fixes.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Katie’s emotional journey through delayed conception
• How acupuncture and holistic medicine opened her eyes to the root-cause issues behind fertility struggles
• The biggest gaps in how standard OB-GYN care handles early TTC concerns
• Early signs your body may be out of alignment
• How trauma, stress, and energy imbalances impact fertility
• What an integrative, whole-body fertility plan actually looks like
• Why “unexplained infertility” is often a misleading diagnosis
• How Katie blends Western medicine, nutrition, TCM, and energetic healing
• A real-life success story that shows what’s possible when women feel truly supported
