In this episode, I sit down with Kitty Brandtner, founder and co-president of March Fourth, to discuss the organization’s push for gun reform in the U.S. and why federally banning assault weapons is their singular goal. Kitty shares the string of events that led her to founding March Fourth, why radical gun reform viewpoints aren’t moving the needle forward, and why a federal assault weapons ban is the simplest and most effective path. She explains the history of assault weapons bans in the U.S., how we arrived at our current mass shooting epidemic, and how the mental health impact from gun violence has a ripple effect throughout a community. We also talk about bringing children up in the era of lockdown drills, holding onto hope and the recent progress that March Fourth has made, actionable items we can all take to help March Fourth’s initiative, and more.Key Takeaway / Points:What led to Kitty founding March FourthOn March Fourth’s mission and tempered radicalism On the history of assault weapons bans in the U.S.How we arrived at our current mass shooting epidemicOn the mental health impact of our trauma-filled realityOn bringing children up in the era of lockdown drillsOn hope and the recent progress that has been madeOn actionable items we can all take now to help March Fourth’s initiativeWhy calling our representatives mattersWhat Kitty does to fill her cupBuy the Quiet Your Mind Journal and Adult Affirmation Coloring Book hereThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

In this episode, I sit down with Cat and Nat – podcast hosts, co-authors, and best friends – to talk about blending families and what it’s like raising seven kids between the two of them and their spouses. We discuss how they came to such an integrated way of living and why non-judgment made it all possible, how our culture isn’t set up for communal support, and why it truly takes a village to raise children. They share the most exciting part about parenting teenagers versus the hardest part, how they navigate social media with teens, and why they’re developing a course on parenting and social media. Finally, they talk about the advice they’d give their younger selves with young children, why we often forget to embrace who we are as mothers and put so much pressure on ourselves to change, and how they do (or don’t) maintain sex lives with kids in the house.Key Takeaway / Points:How they’ve blended their families and why non-judgment made it possibleHow our culture isn’t set up for communal supportWhy it takes a village to raise kidsOn the most exciting part about parenting teenagersOn the hardest part about parenting teenagersOn navigating social media with teensOn tracking your kids’ locations and which app they useOn the course they’re developing for parenting and social mediaOn advice for their younger selves with young childrenOn embracing who you are as a motherHow they fill their own cupsOn maintaining a sex life with kids in the houseThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

In this solo episode, I share what I wish I knew before having a baby, from never being able to have the “perfect” timeline for having kids; to how friendships and relationships might evolve once you become a parent. I talk about the intensity of having your priorities completely shift to another person and away from yourself, why it’s so important to find what makes you feel like “you,” and why giving yourself a window of transition time during your days, especially during postpartum, can be a lifesaver. I also discuss the unpredictability of what works one day with your child versus what might not work the next day, the confidence that comes from being a parent, how important choosing your village is — from your partner, to your friendships — aand more.Key Takeaway / Points:On never having the perfect timelineOn your priorities shifting away from yourselfOn finding what makes you feel like yourselfGiving yourself a window of time to transition into different parts of your dayOn the energy it takes to feed another personThe unpredictability of what works one day vs. what doesn’t the nextOn the joy of watching your child experience the worldOn the confidence that comes from being a parentOn the judgment you experience as a momOn how important your village is, including your partnerHow your friendships might shiftListen to Ep 207: “What I Wish I Knew in my Twenties” hereThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

She also shares how her former career in finance instilled strengths that serve her to this day, and how building intentional awareness and encouraging her coworkers to exercise inspired her to pursue The Soto Method. We discuss the value of creating a product in your own time and gathering constructive criticism, the inevitable sacrifices that come with building something, and why validation isn’t what we should be searching for.

Eve and I discuss her feminist upbringing and how her experiences in the corporate world were inhospitable to motherhood, how she created the Fair Play system and why a “blueberry text” from her husband was the catalyst, and why it’s essential to change from the reactive to the systematic when implementing change.

Finally, we talk about why it’s so hard to have these conversations with our partners, what defines a “unicorn space” versus other types of fun, and why it is essential for our happiness and longevity to create “I can’t fucking believe I just did that” moments in our lives.Key Takeaway / Points:Why I recommend Eve’s method to anyone who will listenOn “Fair Play,” Eve’s life-management and household organization methodEve’s upbringing in a post-70s feminist waveEve’s experience as a young mother in the corporate worldWhy America isn’t designed to support mothersOn the goal of being consistently interested in your own lifeWhy “hobbies” are not serving usThe “blueberry text” that led to Eve creating the Fair Play systemOn changing from the reactive to the systematicOn invisible work and “The Shit I Do” spreadsheetA deep dive into how the Fair Play cards workListener feedback on the most difficult parts of the mental loadWhy it’s so difficult to have these conversationsWhy society views women’s time as infiniteOn the sanctity of “unicorn space”On creating “I can’t fucking believe I just did that” moments for yourselfStream the Fair Play documentary on Hulu hereRead Fairplay hereBuy the Fairplay card deck hereThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

Episode Description: In this episode, I sit down with friend and content creator Olivia Noceda to talk about priorities, boundaries, and understanding what we want versus what we think we want. We reflect on a time Olivia was there for me during a postpartum breakdown, and Olivia shares how she has developed her journey with boundaries over time. She also discusses why regularly establishing your priorities in life is essential, how the impulse of comparison on social media is inevitable, and why fiction and escapism can be so freeing. She also talks about her path to sober curiosity, how we can become addicted to routine, and why in a culture of “more,” “less” is actually the key to finding freedom and release.Key Takeaway / Points:Remembering a time when Olivia was there for me during a postpartum breakdownHow Olivia has developed her journey with boundariesWhy regularly establishing your priorities is essentialOn the impulse of comparison with social mediaOn the concept of being addicted to romance and escapismThe importance of fiction in our livesOlivia’s journey with sober curiosityWhy it’s healthy to observe our relationships with vices, from alcohol to social mediaOn becoming addicted to routineOn what you think you want vs. what you actually wantOn the freedom and release that comes from “less” Listen to the Armchair Expert episode with Anna Lembke hereThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

In this episode, I sit down with one of my closest friends, Jess Nash, to discuss friendship, motherhood, and how the two intersect. We talk about our friendship “breakup” and how we reconnected after several years of not staying in touch, how having children has bonded us even further, and how essential it is for mothers not to judge each other for their parenting choices. We also discuss why it’s so important for mothers to find a postpartum community and we answer listener questions on preparing for motherhood, making space for conversation not centered around our children, and supporting a friend who is struggling with infertility or has miscarried.Key Takeaway / Points:On our friendship “breakup” and how we reconnectedHow having children bonded us furtherOn friends disagreeing with how they mother their childrenOn the importance of mothers not judging each otherOn finding community during postpartumAnswering listener questions on friendship and motherhood, including:Why friends “go quiet” after they have childrenOn preparing for the identity shift that comes with motherhoodOn celebrating each others’ wins in friendshipsOn making space for conversation not centered around childrenOn supporting a friend who is struggling with infertility or has miscarriedFind the “Friendship In Our Thirties” poem hereThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
