  • 35. Roxy Earle on life in the spotlight with Real Housewives, toxic relationships, learning to love her body, birth trauma and the importance of advocating for yourself

    54:03||Season 1, Ep. 35
    An incredible raw and vulnerable conversation with ex Real Housewives of Toronto, Roxy Earle. Roxy is an entrepreneur, body positivity enthusiast, and incredible mama of two. This is a must listen episode on reinvention, resilience and loving yourself for who you are. Roxy shares about her life in the spotlight pre motherhood, thriving in public, yet crumbling in private. She opens up about her toxic relationship and how it ultimately brainwashed her, why she thought she was infertile and how her rock bottom enabled her to be the inspiring mom she is today. Roxy also shares the traumatic details of her second birth (trigger warning) which emphasizes how important it is to advocate for yourself. Such an inspiring story and such impactful takeaways around body acceptance, identity shifts, the importance of our self worth not being defined by our looks or accomplishments and as Roxy says, “never outsource your self-esteem”. This episode is brought to you by Joolz; premium strollers designed to tackle the messiest moments of parenthood.

  • 34. The pressure to ‘do’

    25:27||Season 1, Ep. 34
    I’m sure many moms listening can relate, the pressure to ‘do’ is real. It was real before kids, but it’s even more accentuated post kids. D&A discuss how they’ve started to unlearn old programming of ‘do, do, do’, how taking moments for themselves to recharge is just as important and how multitasking, while sometimes a good thing, can also be detrimental. They also talk about the boundaries and systems they have in place to ensure they’re including time to rest, either alone or with family, so they can be present and recharged.Instagram: @wearemorethanmomsPatreon: More Than Moms Guides & Resources Join our IRL LA communitySubscribe to our NewsletterProduced by Peoples Media
  • 33. D&A on their career journeys, identity shifts into motherhood and how More Than Moms began

    33:09||Season 1, Ep. 33
    So many of you have asked us to share more about our careers so here it is! Spoiler alert, we both work full-time and More Than Moms was started as a passion project to quench our longing for community as new moms. We discuss our careers post-college and how they morphed into what we do and who we are today. While we have had very different career paths, we’ve shared many common themes including embracing change, taking risks, evolving, pivoting, and starting before we were ready. We speak candidly about how motherhood shifted our careers, our struggles / identity crisis in motherhood and how ultimately, motherhood allowed us to really uncover and show up as our authentic self, creating more alignment in our lives. We dive into identity shifts, not letting our career ‘title’ identify who we are, and the many parts of our identity aside from motherhood - because if you’re a working mom or stay at home mom, we’re all more than moms.Instagram: @wearemorethanmomsPatreon: More Than Moms Guides & Resources Join our IRL LA communitySubscribe to our NewsletterProduced by Peoples Media

  • 30. Tara Moni on 3 boys under 2, embracing her changing identity and the unglamorous truths of a working mom balancing 3 young kids

    45:12||Season 1, Ep. 30
    Tara Moni joins us today on the podcast! She had 3 boys under 2 (now 3 under 3). When her first son was 18 months, she welcomed identical twin boys into her family. She’s the founder of La Maregold, a resort-wear brand and a content creator. We dive into the unglamorous truths of what ‘doing it all’ actually means (spoiler alert, it’s not possible). Tara is unapologetically herself which is so refreshing, and shares authentically about the behind the scenes village that allows her to work, have a social life and make time for her husband/friends, all while having 3 young kids. As a girly girl living with 3 boys and her husband, Tara continues to foster her femininity and creativity through her love for fashion. Tara shares her journey from running partnerships at SomethingNavy to venturing out on her own / starting her dream brand post kids - letting go of resistance to her changing identity and instead embracing it. We discuss how she skipped the transition from 1-2 and went directly from 1-3 kids, and how that impacted her identity, her relationship dynamic and her parenting styles. And of course, we get you some great styling tips on how to dress during pregnancy and postpartum from the queen herself - hint: effortless and affordable sets! This episode is brought to you by Sollis Health, now introducing their Sollis Family membership, the only medical membership that’s on demand for your family 24/7, 365.

  • 29. How does intimacy change once you become parents?

    30:14||Season 1, Ep. 29
    Intimacy (physical, emotional, mental & spiritual) evolves a lot during motherhood. For us, intimacy doesn’t feel as easy and ‘spontaneous’ as it used to be, it requires intention, nurturing and sometimes even planning now that we have more responsibilities. We chat through our love languages, our new definitions of intimacy and how we foster it in our relationships, false expectations, as well as learnings from ‘The Queen’s code’ by Alison A. Armstrong which has helped us better understand how men operate. This episode is brought to you by Sollis Health, now introducing their Sollis Family membership, the only medical membership that’s on demand for your family 24/7, 365.
