We Are More Than Moms

Today we’re joined by Miriam Gersht of Lakoom Fit and mom of three to talk about two things: what actually works when it comes to postpartum fitness and body composition—and what it looks like to start a business in the middle of motherhood.

We all have both: the mom friend who never complains and swears everything is “amazing”… and the one who tells you exactly how it really is.

We talk about finding the middle: being honest and vulnerable without losing perspective. You can love your kids and struggle at the same time. You can be deeply grateful to be pregnant and still have a hard experience, both can be true.

We also break down venting (which connects and rel...

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Tiffany Fischman: Dale’s pediatrician, mom of four, and Director of Pediatric Health at Sollis Health, to unpack the invisible mental load of motherhood, especially when it comes to your child’s health.

From the constant “is this normal?” to those 2AM moments when something feels off, we dive into decision paralysis, intuition vs. anxiety, and why so many moms feel stuck in the spiral. We al...

Now that both of our kids are officially potty trained, we’re dedicating an episode to this major rite of passage in motherhood.

We share the different methods we each used, how our experiences varied, and the differences we noticed between boys vs. girls and starting at different ages. We also debunk some common potty training myths and talk about what actually worked (and what didn’t). Most importantly, we’re keeping it real: ...

Danae Mercer has built a global platform exposing the truth behind what we see online—how angles, lighting, editing, and now AI can completely distort reality.

But today, it goes beyond filters. With the rise of GLP-1s, hyper-edited content, and constant comparison, the pressure on our bodies and our minds—has reached a new level.

In this episode, we talk about body image in today’s world, the link between social media and anxiet...

Before you roll your eyes at the idea of waking up before your kids—this isn’t that kind of episode.

This isn’t about being more productive or doing more. It’s about creating space for yourself before tending to everyone else’s needs. Because without that time, it’s easy to spend your days in reactivity—jumping from one need to the next—instead of moving through your day with intention.

In this episode, we talk about what it ...

If you’re on maternity leave and dreading going back to work—this is for you. Or if you’re feeling stuck in your career post kids.

We talk a lot about the physical changes after having a baby, but rarely the internal shift—who you are now, what you want, and what no longer fits.

In this episode, we explore the in-between—outgrowing old identities, questioning your career, and navigating what’s next.

We also share our own exper...

We’re sharing the story of our friendship, which naturally led us into a bigger conversation about friendship in our “mom era.” We talk about what happens to friendships as life shifts: the drifting, the realigning, and the honest conversations we sometimes have to have with ourselves about who still fits in our lives. We dive into navigating friendships that no longer feel aligned, letting go of relationships that feel toxic or dr...

Michelle Battersby has built an incredible career—from helping launch Bumble in Australia to founding her own company and, at 30 weeks pregnant with her second child, selling that company and landing her dream job, president at Peanut. So the question is: can you really have both a big career and a family?

Like many ambitious women, Michelle once feared that becoming a mother might derail everything she’d worked for. Instead, it...

In this episode, Dale shares a conversation she had with her mom that stopped her in her tracks. It sparked a bigger realization: so many moms feel like they’re drowning — not because they’re incapable, but because the systems they built to survive a season of motherhood are no longer working for the life they’re living now.

We create structures to get through the chaos of early motherhood, but rarely stop to ask: Is this system...

In this powerful conversation, Amanda Silver shares her personal journey through divorce when her son was just six weeks old, the emotional reality of becoming a single mom, and how she turned her pain into purpose by becoming a family divorce mediator.

We talk honestly about what healthy divorce really looks like, co-parenting, and whether “staying together for the kids” actually works. She shares the systems that support her a...

In this episode, Dale and Annabel get real about what it’s actually like to have 2 kids under 2, beyond the trendy Instagram hashtag. We talk about both the beautiful moments and the very real challenges that come with this age gap, from exhaustion and identity shifts to unexpected joy, bonding, and growth.

We also unpack an important truth: closer in age doesn’t automatically mean better. Every family, parent, and season is dif...

Choosing childcare isn’t one-size-fits-all — and no one really prepares you for the emotional, financial, and logistical reality of it. In this episode, Annabel and Dale break down the most common caregiving options (live-in and live-out nannies, part-time help, daycare, and au pairs) and what it’s actually like to navigate each one.

We talk real costs beyond hourly rates, coverage gaps, PTO, last-minute cancellations, burnout, ...

In this episode, we sit down with Michael Milobsky, a pediatrician and dad of seven—and the first dad ever on this podcast. He brings a calm, grounded, no-nonsense perspective on raising healthy kids in a world obsessed with panic, perfection, and parenting trends.

We talk about modern parenting approaches, picky eaters and toddler meltdowns, screen time and sleep training, overused medications, the real differences between boys...

If your toddler survives on cheese, fruit, and carbs — you’re not alone. After sharing our struggles online, hundreds of you wrote in with your own stories, so we’re talking all things picky eating, dinner battles, pressure, guilt, and the tips that actually help.

We’re not experts — just toddler moms navigating this right alongside you. This episode is about feeling less alone, releasing the pressure, and reminding you that you...

What does it really mean to carry the mental load and why does it so often fall on women?

In this episode, Paige Connell: a mom of four and former corporate professional turned full-time content creator — joins us to unpack the invisible labor of motherhood, marriage, and modern partnership. We explore what the mental load actually is (and why it’s been so hard to name), how invisible and emotional labor shape our relationships,...

In this solo episode, Dale shares all the details from her recent boob job — recovery updates, expectations vs. reality one week post-op, and how she managed it all while parenting two little kids.

Annabel shares updates on her health, Griffin’s upcoming first birthday (plus how ChatGPT is helping plan it), and together, they dive into the Ashley Tisdale mom group drama taking over the internet.

Cynthia opens up about losing her husband at 34, becoming a mom later in life, and navigating single motherhood while continuing to grow a massive fashion empire without guilt. She shares how she integrated her children into her life and work, crea...

Dale and Annabel are back together for the first episode of the new year. In this reunion-style conversation, they reflect on how they actually approach the new year (hint: it’s not rigid resolutions), the rituals and systems they use to create more ease in their lives, and the goals and intentions they’re bringing into 2026. They talk honestly about what’s working, what they’re letting go of, and how they’re thinking about growth ...
