I'm going to be taking a short pause from momplex.
This has been such a special space for me, and I'm so proud of what we have created together. Right now, I'm taking some time to reset and get clear on what's next so I can continue showing up here in the best way possible. This isn't goodbye, it's just a pause. Thank you for being here, for listening and for being a part of this community. I'm so grateful for you, and I'll be ba...

I explore why I sometimes overreact to my kids and how it’s often not about them, but about my past. When something happens to my child—like a bad grade, getting benched, or being left out—it can catapult me back to my own teenage wounds. My nervous system, through neuroception, scans for danger and pulls old memories from my internal “storage unit,” reacting as if I’m still that younger version of myself.
I explain how parts of u...

This episode is a heartfelt conversation between me and clinical psychologist, professor, mom, and author Dr. Alissa Jerud about the emotional side of parenting that no baby book ever prepared us for. I open up about my own journey as a high-functioning, overachieving mom who thought if I just did everything “right,” my kids would be okay and my pain wouldn’t matter. Alissa shares how her book Emotion Savvy was born out of her own...

I get real about something so many of us feel but rarely say out loud: what the heck happened to my marriage? I speak directly to moms who feel like they’re living parallel lives with their partner—amazing teammates and parents, but disconnected lovers. I share how the mental load, cognitive overload, and constant fight-or-flight nervous system state slowly push intimacy, desire, and playfulness to the bottom of the priority list. ...

I open up about the “good mom trap” and why so many of us feel exhausted, resentful, and disconnected even though we’re doing “all the right things.” I explain that our real issue usually isn’t time, it’s permission—our nervous system has learned that constant busyness equals safety and goodness, while rest and pleasure feel selfish or even dangerous. Drawing on polyvagal theory, I share how past experiences and subconscious patter...

I share a wild story about my body and my relationship with my mom. After almost two years without a period, I was convinced I was in menopause—I'd started HRT, talked about it on the podcast, and mentally moved into that next phase of life. Then I had a 49‑years‑in‑the‑making, honest, loving but unfiltered conversation with my mom where I finally said everything I’d been holding inside. The very next week, my period came back in f...

I speak with intuitive guide, energy mentor, and author K.

Kay shares how COVID became her breaking point, shifting her from “holding it all together” to realizing life shouldn’t feel like constant battle armor and a race against time. Over three years, she experimented with...

I open up a real, unfiltered conversation about perimenopause and why so many of us feel confused, exhausted, and a little bit like we’re “losing it.” I talk directly to moms who are doing “all the right things” and still don’t feel good—physically, mentally, or emotionally. Instead of brushing symptoms off as “just getting older” or “just mom life,” I invite you to see them as messages from your body asking for attention, care, an...

I am joined by artist, author, and creative director Kate Schelter to talk about what happens when motherhood and crisis completely crack your identity open. Kate shares how leaving New York City after twenty years, having two babies in two years, and living through COVID left her feeling stripped of her professional self and flooded with fear and anxiety—even while she was sitting in the “abundant nest” she’d always dreamed of.

I use this Momplex episode to share some of the most humbling lessons I’ve learned as a mom and to call BS on the idea that we have to be perfect. For years, I believed that every mistake meant I was failing and that everyone was judging me and my kids. I now see mistakes as feedback, not proof that I’m a bad mom. Backed by neuroplasticity and growth mindset, I talk about how our brains—and our lives—are always capable of change. I...

This episode of Momplex is all about releasing the pressure of parenting by milestones and trusting our kids’ unique timelines. I share how I started Momplex in 2021 as a safe space to admit that while I adore my kids, I wasn’t always loving motherhood—and how that honesty became a movement for moms who are tired of guilt and perfectionism.
I walk you through my own anxiety when my kids didn’t “measure up” on traditional timelines...

I talk honestly about how overwhelming life can feel, especially during busy seasons like May when it seems like everything happens at once. Despite my best self-care efforts—hydrating, sleeping well, and taking supplements—I still found myself completely exhausted, wanting nothing more than to collapse on the sofa with a Diet Coke and a crime show.
I share that these ups and downs aren’t isolated to certain months; as moms, we’re...

I encourage opening up to new voices and experiences, and learning to both receive guidance and co-create with it. Along the way I offer simple practices—brea...
