Ever wonder what first-time moms truly wish someone would tell them about pregnancy, birth, and becoming a mom?

In this transparent and often heartfelt episode, sisters Stephanie Alessi Muiña and Gaby Alessi Calatayud, who are both expecting, get real about the unspoken struggles, surprises, and joys of motherhood. You'll learn why comparing yourself to Instagram-perfect moms can set up unrealistic expectations, and how to handle the endless opinions thrown at you during each stage of pregnancy.

You’ll hear how surrounding yourself with other moms, asking for help, and leaning on faith can make all the difference—from managing fear and anxiety about the unknown, to handling postpartum blues with honesty and support.

With practical advice on navigating medical choices, labor anxiety, and the importance of community, Gaby and Stephanie show that you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Get ready for comforting honesty, relatable laughs, and heartfelt encouragement for new moms (or anyone who loves one).

In this fascinating and timely conversation, Lauren Alessi Burgos and and her long-time friend Dania Montejo dive headfirst into the world of conspiracies—from the French presidency and Michael Jackson’s controversies to UFOs and cloud-manipulating chemtrails.
