What if the life you've built isn't the only life available to your family?

This week on Doing It All, we're joined by Elodie Ferchaud, co-founder of Boundless Life, a company helping families live, work, and learn around the world through global communities designed specifically for parents and children.

As parents, we're often reminded that we only get "18 summers" with our children before they leave the nest. It's a phrase that can feel equal parts inspiring and heartbreaking, a reminder that time is limited and that the years we're living right now matter. Elodie challenges us to think about how we want to spend those summers and whether there are different ways to design a life that prioritizes connection, adventure, and presence.

We talk about Elodie's journey from entrepreneur to co-founder of a global movement, what it's really like to relocate internationally with children, and how travel can transform the way families learn, grow, and experience the world together.

In this episode, we discuss:

✈️ How motherhood and her childhood inspired Elodie to rethink traditional family life

🌎 The story behind Boundless Life and building a global community for families

🏡 Balancing adventure, routine, and parenting while living internationally

📚 Place-based learning, global education, and what children gain from experiencing the world firsthand

🤝 How kids build friendships and community across countries and cultures

❤️ Lessons global living has taught Elodie about parenting, ambition, and being present

Plus, we end with a fun round of Pack Your Bags, where Elodie shares her favorite family destinations, biggest travel parenting challenges, must-have travel essentials, and advice for families dreaming about life abroad. Whether you're ready to move overseas tomorrow or simply looking for inspiration to live more intentionally, this conversation will challenge the way you think about family, education, and what it means to truly do it all.

Who were you before Motherhood?

And where did she go?

This week on Doing It All, we're getting painfully honest (what else is new?!) about the identity shifts that happen after motherhood—the confidence, hobbies, spontaneity, style, routines, and personality traits that are now buried under the hefty load of managing 47 open mental tabs.

We're talking about:

- Identity loss

- Grieving an era while loving this one

- Confidence, style and body changes

- Reclaiming our time, our hobbies and our joy

A listener writes in with a confession we're sure every Mom has also said to themselves. Plus, Maya shares her new screen time philosophy and why she's releasing herself from parenting perfectionism. We also pay homage to the versions of ourselves who stayed in a salon and used to leave the house with only a lip gloss and a dream!

This episode is funny, vulnerable, validating, and for every woman who has ever looked in the mirror and thought:

“Wait… where did I go?”The goal isn’t becoming who we were before kids.
It’s making room for who we are now — while still letting the old version of ourselves come dance in the kitchen sometimes.

This week on Doing It All, we sit down with Ana-Maria Jaramillo—bilingual speech-language pathologist, founder of Voz Institute, and owner of beloved and viral taco spot La Tejana DC—for one of our realest conversations yet!

We talk about everything from identity, entrepreneurship, building businesses… to fertility issues and challenges in relationships after having a baby.

Ana-Maria opens up about her journey into motherhood, navigating her son’s early health challenges, surviving the exhaustion of a non-sleeping baby, and learning to release the pressure of perfection while managing multiple businesses and a family.

We also get into:

• Allowing yourself to feel angry about your pregnancy, birth, or postpartum experience

• The emotional load mothers carry behind the scenes

• Hiring your weaknesses instead of trying to excel at everything

• Building support systems that actually support you

• What helps her to “do it all” in motherhood

• And of course… the art of the perfect breakfast taco!

This episode is honest, layered, funny, validating, and deeply human—especially for anyone trying to hold onto themselves while caring for everyone else.

Motherhood is beautiful… and complicated… and sometimes a little unhinged.

In this Mother’s Day episode, we hold space for the full spectrum of what it means to be a mom right now. We have an honest conversation about the realities of Black maternal health—and reflect on three recent cases in the news involving Black mothers that ended in tragedy. These stories are heavy, but necessary, and we approach them with care, empathy, and a desire to keep these conversations from being ignored.

From there, we get personal—sharing our own motherhood experiences, how we’ve changed, and the versions of ourselves we’ve had to grieve along the way.

And because this is Doing It All, we balance it with the moments that keep us laughing:

our take on “freak numbers” (let’s just say… Sarah went from a 6 to maybe a 4, while Maya is a tentative 7 )

Maya sharing a very honest “did I really just say that to my child?” moment that had us both in tears

the phrases we say at least 100 times a day to our toddlers

and our current favorite “horror movies”… aka what we’ve discovered in the depths of our kids’ car seats (truly terrifying)

We also leave you with a simple challenge this week: do something for yourself that you normally do for everyone else. The same care, effort, and intention—you deserve that too. And if you do, post it and tag us—we want to see it

We also read a listener letter that hit home for all of us—on grieving who you were before motherhood, and what it looks like to slowly find yourself again.

Whether you’re holding a lot right now, missing your old self, or just trying to make it to bedtime—this episode is for you. Happy Mother's Day!

If your brain feels like 47 tabs are open (and you’re the only one who knows what’s in each one)… this episode is for you.
This week, we’re sitting down with Nathalie Strattion - co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Hearth Display for a conversation about the real weight of running a home.
We get into:
The never-ending mental checklist
Building a life (and a business) while raising kids
How we can start making the invisible… visible
Plus, Nathalie takes us inside a day in her life as a busy mom while building Hearth. She shares with us what it actually looks like behind the scenes, what’s working, and what she’s releasing.

In this rerelease if an episode from this time last year, we sat down with a woman who isn’t just making history—she’s rewiring it. Evelynn Escobar, founder of Hike Clerb, has built a movement that empowers racialized people to reconnect with the outdoors. She’s reclaiming space, redefining belonging, and reminding us that nature is for everyone.
At a time when DEI efforts are being challenged and the environment feels more precious than ever, this conversation is necessary. We’re diving into the intersection of representation, environmental justice, and the radical act of rest in nature—because touching grass isn’t just a hobby, it’s resistance.
Evelynn also opens up about motherhood, how she includes her toddler in everything she does, and how she’s preparing to welcome another child. She shares her journey with home birthing, the importance of being surrounded by a team that has your best interest at heart, and how her village has helped her show up as the best version of herself.
This is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt like they don’t belong—whether in the outdoors, in certain spaces, or in systems that weren’t built with them in mind.

Everyone says “it takes a village”… but what if the village you have isn’t actually supporting you the way you need?

In this episode, Maya and Sarah get honest about what a village really looks like in certain seasons of life. They unpack the difference between emotional support and real, practical help, and why proximity, history, and good intentions don’t always equal true support.

Together, they walk through a sort of “village audit” — a gentle but eye-opening way to assess who is truly showing up in your life right now, and where you may need to shift or build new support.

They also share:

• The 3 types of villagers everyone needs (and why no one person can be all three)

• Red flags and green flags in friendships and support systems

• How to ask for help and give help clearly

• Tangible ways to build (and be part of) a village

This episode is your reminder that doing it all was never meant to be done alone.

This week we’re re-releasing one of our most powerful conversations with Stephany Faublas. Stephany and her daughter Cadence share a truly special bond, working together as partners in both life and creativity. In this episode, we explore their unique mother-daughter relationship, what it’s like raising each other, and how they support each other through their personal and professional journeys.

Stephany opens up about single motherhood, the courage it takes to speak honestly about difficult relationships and the realities many mothers face behind closed doors. We also talk about their viral TikTok moment, the unpolished side of creating content online, and what it looks like to grow alongside your child.

Since this conversation first aired, Stephany has continued sharing her story on her podcast, After Birth, as well as her youtube channel. She has also started a nonprofit called the F U fund which is designed to help women financially through situations similar to her own.

Knowing how far she and Cadence have come since this recording makes this conversation hit even deeper. We’re honored to share it again.
