We Are More Than Moms

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

In today’s episode, D&A chat in real-time about life lately: Dale in her newborn bubble / adjusting to a family of 4 and Annabel 21 weeks pregnant with a high-energy toddler. We speak candidly and vulnerably about our experiences, from visitors in the early days and setting strong boundaries, to learning how to slow down and say “no.”Instagram: @wearemorethanmomsPatreon: More Than Moms Guides & Resources Join our IRL LA communitySubscribe to our NewsletterProduced by Peoples Media

Dale shares openly about her final days of pregnancy (she spontaneously went into labor on her due date!), what she did to naturally “induce” herself, her birth story and the main differences this time around: how she introduced Leo to his baby brother, her feeding journey and everything in between. Oh and of course, her first meal post delivery. This episode is brought to you by Joolz; premium strollers designed to tackle the messiest moments of parenthood.

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.

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.

So special to have Michaela Podolsky on today’s episode. She has not done a podcast since 2021 (with her sister Arielle Charnas), so we feel SUPER honored she decided to share with us. We’ve both been following Michaela for quite some time, so this was a full circle moment for us. Michaela shares the realities of 3 under 3, what the hardest transition was, and how being pregnant for 4 consecutive years impacts your identity and relationship with your body. She also shares openly about losing a twin in her first pregnancy and navigating that loss, while moving to Florida away from her family in NYC who she is exceptionally close with. We dive into Michaela’s relationship with her sisters and how they’ve inspired her career / motherhood journey, as well as her relationship with her husband, Brett, and their secret to a strong relationship after 3 kids and 10+ years of being together. She discusses how she parents vs. how she was raised - including how her own mother instilled confidence in her at a young age. Overall, Michaela’s positive, glass half full attitude to life is incredibly refreshing and inspiring and we know you will love this episode as much as we did!This episode is brought to you by Joolz; premium strollers designed to tackle the messiest moments of parenthood.

D&A get real about their relationships with technology - the sense of urgency that stems from our phones that tend to pull us from the present moment. We discuss the boundaries we’ve implemented to protect our peace, why we have to create intentional boundaries, how to notice when we need them, how to stick to them and also command respect from others. We’re in a world that can greatly benefit from technology, but we need to use it as a tool vs let it rule us, so we can protect our energy and peace, while also being role models for our children.This episode is brought to you by Cerebelly, the only baby and toddler food with 16 essential brain-supporting nutrients.
