Now that we each have two “toddlers”… our tune has changed a little. This week we’re breaking down the real transition from one to two kids — the good, the hard, the logistical circus, and the surprising parts no one prepares you for. We’re talking: Is 0→1 easier, or is 1→2 the real plot twist? And knowing what we know now… would we have a third? 👀👀👀

We get into:

• The actual tangible workload of two kids vs. one
• The mental gymnastics + invisible logistics no one talks about
• Why the comparison, pressure, and noise drop with baby #2
• How 1→2 shifts marriage + husband dynamics
• What’s gotten easier, and what’s definitely harder
• And all the messy, beautiful, chaotic in-between moment

If you’re pregnant with your second, already in the trenches with two, or debating another… this is the episode we wish we had heard.

We manifested our dream guest — Valeria Lipovetsky! We dive into what it really looks like to evolve through motherhood, marriage, business, and identity. Valeria shares why she feels more grounded and powerful — truly in her prime — at 35, the real work behind “doing it all,” and what her kids have taught her about letting go and resilience. We talk about building a strong foundation in marriage, asking for help without guilt, dropping the martyr mentality, and grieving past versions of yourself to step into who you’re becoming.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “doing it wrong,” this one’s for you.

We’ve been told screens are bad, that too much time in front of them will ruin our kids… cue the mom guilt. But the truth? It’s more complicated than that.

In this episode, we’re getting real about how we use screen time — the messy “balance” we’re all trying to find — and how to make it work for our families instead of against us. We talk about living in a tech-heavy world, being part of the last generation (hey, millennials!) who grew up both with and without screens, and now raising kids who’ve never known life any other way. From iPads to TV to FaceTiming family, we dive into the uses, the judgment, the guilt, and how to give ourselves permission to use technology with intention, purpose, and peace.

We sit down with acclaimed celebrity doula Lori Bregman to demystify what a doula really does: from pregnancy to birth—and how that support can calm fear and build confidence. Lori shares how she partners with doctors and midwives, helps families navigate hospital systems, and counters the fear-mongering messages that often surround birth. She offers grounded guidance and spiritual tools for staying flexible when plans change and for letting go of control.

In this heartfelt episode, Annabel opens up through tears about her own raw birth experience—the unexpected C-section that left her battling shame and the social-media glamorization of “perfect” births. A must-listen for any mama curious about doulas, birth choices, and entering motherhood with more trust and less fear.

We’re not the “perfect wives” no aprons, no homemade sourdough, and our husbands definitely don’t come home to folded laundry or dinner waiting. But we’re sharing the insider details on our marriages: how we’ve evolved, how we divide responsibilities, what we fight about, and how we actually connect in our post-kids era. We’re pulling back the curtain on the hard talks, the things we’re still working on, how we feel about date nights, and those recurring fight patterns we can laugh about (most days). Honest, funny, and refreshingly unfiltered — this is definitely not marriage advice, just two moms sharing *honestly* how their relationships have evolved after kids.

This episode is real talk about modern motherhood and why so many of us feel pressured to overdo everything. TikTok’s “chill mom,” Aubrey Matthesius, shares her refreshingly simple approach—stripping back the noise of consumerism and letting go of the idea that you need every gadget or Pinterest-worthy routine to be a good parent. We cover controversial topics like sleep training, the baby items she’ll never use and the few she can’t live without, and the surprising reasons she thinks we should ask boomers for advice. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by motherhood’s extremes, this episode will help you exhale and remember what actually matters.

When life changes in an instant, how do you keep moving forward? In this powerful conversation, Amanda Kloots opens up about losing her husband Nick during COVID, raising her son Elvis as a single mom, and finding the courage to live fully in the face of unimaginable loss. What began as figuring out how to support her son and their future became something deeper — a story of resilience, evolution, and stepping boldly into what’s next.

Amanda has lived many lives — Broadway dancer, fitness entrepreneur, TV host, author, and now founder of Proper. With each reinvention, she’s learned to embrace rejection, trust the signs, lean into curiosity, and keep following what lights her up. In our conversation, she shares the rollercoaster of grief, how she sustains her positivity, her personal approach to manifestation, and the way she talks to her son about his dad with honesty and love.

Amanda’s perspective on resilience and finding light in the darkest seasons will leave you moved, motivated, and reminded that growth often begins before we feel prepared. If you’ve ever faced a transition, doubted yourself, or wondered how to keep going in the midst of loss or uncertainty — this episode is for you.

Annabel and Dale sit down for a heartfelt talk about the food narratives we grew up with and how they surface now that we’re raising kids. From boomer-era rules like “you must finish your plate” to subtle messages about dieting, guilt, and “good” versus “bad” foods, we unpack the beliefs we want to leave behind and the realities of our children’s eating habits today.

Together we explore how childhood memories shape the way we feed our kids—from sneaking off to a friend’s house to raid their pantry because we weren’t allowed those treats at home, to the triggers that flare when they reach for something we label “bad,” to the pressure to make every bite nutritious. This episode is about breaking old patterns, creating a healthy food culture at home, and helping our children build la healthy relationship with food.
