This week we’re diving into the big and small transitions shaping our motherhood journey right now. First up: the question so many families wrestle with — do we have another kid? For us, it’s do we have a third? We unpack the tug-of-war between the dream of another baby and the reality of bandwidth, identity, and resources. Then we shift to preschool prep — the bittersweet emotions of letting go, watching your child step into a whole new world, and what it stirs up in us as moms.

And because real life never hits pause, Annabel shares an update on her daughter’s crib escape saga — the impossible math of safety vs. independence, boundaries vs. guilt.

It’s raw, funny, and heart-hitting — a look at the messy in-betweens of motherhood we don’t always say out loud, but we all feel.

This week’s episode is a little different—and a deeply personal one for Dale. After more than a decade of building Sweats & The City alongside her longtime partner, Elizabeth, Dale is stepping into a new chapter and continuing the platform solo.

She opens up about the emotions behind this transition: the gratitude, fear, and excitement that come with closing one door while opening another. From how the decision unfolded to what this community has meant over the years, Dale shares candidly about navigating identity, growth, and change.

If you’ve ever faced a big life or career shift—the kind that feels both heartbreaking and hopeful—this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone.

This episode is for the moms who’ve ever thought, “It’s just easier if I do it myself.” We’re unpacking the resentment, the martyrdom, and the tension between trusting others and wanting to scream when your baby didn’t nap, the bottle was left out, or bedtime went off the rails. We talk about the mental load it takes just to leave the house — the prepping, the guilt, the micromanaging — and why it’s so hard to let go, even when we truly want the break. From weeknight date nights (and why 5:30pm is the sweet spot) to learning how to ask and accept help without shame, this one is all about redefining what support actually looks like — and letting it in.

We’re also sharing the systems and organization tricks that keep our households running smoothly — including the whiteboard we use to keep everyone aligned, communicate clearly, and avoid the last-minute chaos.

In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with Mallory Goldman to talk about her journey into motherhood, surrogacy, and what it means to rebuild when life doesn’t go as planned — both literally and emotionally. Mallory opens up for the first time about the emotional play-by-play and aftermath of losing her home in the Pacific Palisades fire earlier this year, and how that life-altering moment reshaped her perspective and deepened her sense of gratitude.

She also shares what led her to pursue surrogacy, the complexities and nuances of the process, and why she chose to keep that chapter private until she was ready to share. We dive into the emotional layers of new motherhood, managing an autoimmune disease, and redefining what balance looks like in an entirely new season of life.

This episode is a tearjerker and a powerful story of grace, growth, and embracing the journey, even when it looks nothing like you imagined. It’s about self-trust, quiet strength, and tuning out the noise in a season that often feels overwhelmingly loud.

In this episode, we’re flipping the script on the tired narrative that life ends after kids. That motherhood takes everything from you. That you’ll lose yourself completely. Because for us? Motherhood was the glow-up in so many ways.

We’re diving into how becoming moms made us better: in our relationships, our confidence, our bodies, our careers, our boundaries… even in how we attract abundance and opportunity. From the messy middle to the breakthroughs, we’re sharing how we reconnected with who we are, found deeper clarity, and stepped into versions of ourselves we never expected — but now wouldn’t trade for anything.

If you’ve ever felt lost in the shuffle of motherhood, this conversation is your reminder: you’re not meant to go back. You’re meant to evolve. And trust us, you’ll surprise yourself in the best way.

In this episode, D&A dive into all things travel with two kids — the good, the chaotic, and everything in between. From how we prep and pack (hint: snacks and low expectations), to what actually helps on flights, to navigating hotel sleep setups and adjusting plans on the fly — we’re breaking down what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what we’ve learned along the way.

Whether you're gearing up for your first family getaway or just need some solidarity before your next travel day meltdown, this conversation is full of real tips and tricks, honest moments, and plenty of “we’ve been there too” energy. Because traveling with kids isn’t always easy — but somehow, it’s always worth it.

Today we’re joined by Jennie Monness: early childhood educator, entrepreneur, podcast host, and founder of Union Square Play and Charmspring, for a raw and refreshing conversation about modern motherhood. Jennie opens up about her journey as a recovering perfectionist: how she’s learned to let go, embrace her imperfections, and offer herself the same grace she hopes to model for her kids. We dive into the importance of routines (and when to let go of them), how to navigate public meltdowns, and what it really means to parent with intention vs. not pressure.

This episode is full of bite-sized wisdom: from why simply asking your child ‘why’ can be a game-changer, to what she learned about socialization while parenting during COVID, to why it might be time to stop emphasizing “sharing” with toddlers. Jennie offers grounded, actionable advice that will leave every mom feeling seen, supported, and just a little more confident in doing things her way.

We’re so excited to finally share what we’ve been building: The Next Chapter. A 6-month guided group coaching experience for the woman within the mother. This episode is personal. We’re pulling back the curtain on our own identity struggles — the “who am I now?” moments, the fog, the parts of ourselves we lost and are still reclaiming. Because let’s be honest: there are endless resources for baby sleep and postpartum weight loss… but what about you?

We created this because we lived it. The identity loss. The blurry in-between. The “I love my kids, but I miss me” moments. More Than Moms has always stood for this truth: women are multifaceted. We can love motherhood deeply and still want more. More clarity. More connection. More us.

Now, it’s come full circle, with the program we needed, but couldn’t find.

✨ In this episode:

• Our personal stories + identity shifts
• What The Next Chapter is and what’s inside
• Who it’s for (spoiler: it might be you)
• Real transformation stories
• How to join the founding cohort launching July 11

We’re not going back — we’re moving forward, together.
