The Motherly Podcast

Tara Overton went into motherhood as a self-described planner — and new motherhood humbled her fast. As COO of Ni-Q and MaiaMilk, she'd spent years working with overproducing donor moms before becoming a low-supply mom herself. In this episode of The Motherly Podcast, Tara talks about what it felt like when her body didn't cooperate, how she learned to swap her own expectations for grace, and what it actually takes to get freeze-dried donor breast milk safely from one mom's body to another family's diaper bag. Plus: why she's adamant that MaiaMilk is just another option — not another thing to feel guilty about.

Kerry Docherty has been many things: co-founder of Faherty, lawyer, mindfulness teacher, poet. But for years, she was also a woman who had completely lost herself.

She joins Liz to talk about what it really takes to live an authentic life and why it is the ultimate form of resistance for women, especially moms, to say "no."
