Today we've got serial entrepeneur and sports obsessed former D1 Soccer Star, Stacy Bernstein, on the pod. She is the Co-Founder of All Better Company, a company re-imagining first aid in a way that’s showing up for you and your kids AND doing it in a way that’s also good for the planet. We follow Stacy from childhood in THE VALLEY, to her life as a D1 athlete, to working for the NHL, coaching, and starting out on her own. It's an episode that covers so many things I care deeply about - from how we talk to our kids about sex, to THE ART OF NOTICING. ENJOY! Share! Talk about it! TW: Child Sexual Abuse.

Whitney Port has been in the public eye for 20 years and she’s cultivated an ability to both be vulnerable and share her life without it feeling exploitative. From her time on the Hills and the City, to her following years building her own mini media empire with her successful podcast and Youtube channel, watching Whitney grow and cultivate relationships has been a mainstay for so many people who grew up watching her. Today she’s in the closet and we cover such a wide range of topics - from finding meaningful connection and friendship in new stages of life, figuring out the balance between what’s best for YOU and what’s best for everyone else around you. Her very public experience with infertility and the decision to try and expand her family via surrogacy, what it’s like to be a member of the ‘sandwich generation’ and so much more. This is also a podcast first - we’ve had Whitney’s sister, Paige, on the pod (Episode 12) and so that makes Whitney’s episode our first-ever sibling episode…because you know what they say, no two people get the same two parents.

This week in the closet we have Senior Director of Community and Partnerships Tubby Todd. To most, however, she's likely better known as the grand master of all things hobby...or just having a good time. Erika's path to corporate girly has been paved with stardust, dreams, and...community. From singing for Disney in Japan to being the front woman of an all-Filipino hip hop group to cross-fit gym co-owner and Lululemon MAVEN, I don't think little Erika growing up in the Mormon church could've guessed much of the turns her life would take, but I imagine she'd find it immensely entertaining, along with the rest of us.

For an entire generation of girls wanting to be journalists, work in magazines and/or fashion, Atoosa Rubenstein was the pinnacle we looked to. She was living out loud and doing it YOUNG. Not waiting for any traditional hierarchies to retire. But what we didn’t see is how much was weighing those designer shoulders down at the same time. The unanswered questions. The lack of connection. The missing warmth and safety of a loving childhood home. This expansive hang in the virtual closet has us starting in Iran, growing up in a challenging home dynamic, skyrocketing to notoriety at a young age, and then finding new purpose in motherhood - leaving the photoshoots, Met Balls, and bougie Hamptons parties behind to just be. With her kids. And ZERO LAUNDRY.

It can feel like nothing is more precious and elusive to parents of young kids, as sleep. Today in the closet we've got Brittany Sheehan, certified kid's sleep guru and Internet funny girl, according to me. In this hang we cover everything from the impact of limited sex ed as kids, losing a parent too soon, finding new super powers with parenthood, division of labor at home...and we also answer some listener questions on sleep. We even cover why a quick trip to California grocery store staple, Gelson's, is a slippery slope and why pre-teens make the best babysitters.

Come hang in the closet with the renegade girl scout, Puno. She's the founder of iLoveCreatives and the Executive Creative Director of iLoveCreatives Studio - the woman is bursting with...creativ(ity). This sprawling chat covers so much: from growing up in Texas in what sounds like a movie marriage of LadyBird and Dazed & Confused, to thriving and diving deep in the early days of the internet, to the challenges of running a business and a family with a partner, there's so much here. If that's not enough to entice - there's a cat with main character energy and you can even find out how Puno thinks she might die, assuming the robots don't save her first. And Puno's mom, if you're listening, she still has some questions for you and we all want the answers.

May is National Foster Care Awareness Month and we are taking the opportunity to raise awareness by hanging with Tige Charity, CEO of Kids in the Spotlight (KITS). KITS is a non profit organization focused on providing children in foster care with the tools and skills to take control of their own narrative and tell their own story, primarily through filmmaking. Tige's story starts in a little town and Louisiana and brings her to today - her life in Los Angeles with her husband and daughter. Tige's approach to life, career and parenting are deeply rooted in the values of her own youth in a religious household with a clear framework for how to live, while also putting her own stamp on how to do things - leaving behind the things that no longer serve her while celebrating the parts of her own childhood that have led her where she is today. This episode is all about gratitude and service. Knowing when you've got a good thing going and figuring out how to bring others along with you. Don't forget to like/leave a review if this speaks to you!

It's tradition when someone comes to the closet that I bake them something to bring home to their family...So you can imagine my surprise when today's guest brought ME something...a very special something in fact: Childish plates for my kiddos. Meg Duff is the CEO of Childish plates - a company she started because she just wasn't happy with the plastic alternatives out there for feeding kids. She was the goldilocks of plates: not dishwasher safe. Not microwave safe. Not cute. Not practical...the list goes on. So she took her high achieving self, a machine fine tuned by years of highly competitive sports, and applied all that gumption to a new game: business. If you're a sports family or you yourself were a sports kid - this episode gives a lot to chew on: What happens once a competitive chapter of sports ends for a person? What's it like for a kid to grow up in a household with a professional athlete at the dinner table? If you're not a sports person, maybe you're a parent who gets frustrated by the market missing out on something you want/need in your life. Listen to how one mutha is tackling it head on. If you're none of those things, surely you're a person who has had to withstand chapters of change and recalibration in your life - this chat is for you.
