#57: Would I even be me if I didn’t go through motherhood with a mix of laughs, tears, and waaaay too many Cane's chicken tenders? In this episode, I’m sharing a real and raw look at my journey from pregnancy to postpartum to current-day parenthood, where nothing went quite like I expected. We talk about why antidepressants weren’t my thing, how switching to formula saved my sanity, and what it’s like navigating your 30s while figuring out this whole womanhood (and motherhood) thing—mess and all. Oh, and let’s not forget: I’ll give you the lowdown on launching my new Pilates studio, House of Core, plus the Amazon finds (hello, back massager and cervical pillow) keeping me from falling apart.

We’ll also talk about the bittersweet reality of those first 12 years with your kids—you know, the ones you wish you could freeze forever. And yeah, I’m diving into my very complicated (and kinda terrifying) thoughts about having another baby. Spoiler alert: It’s a mix of "heck no" and "maybe just one more..."
