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.

We are so honored Sari chose to share her intimate pregnancy and fertility journey with us on today’s episode. Sari shares the difficult process of getting pregnant with her second. She discusses letting go of her desire for a certain age gap, her miscarriage and the isolating feelings that ensued, struggles with self-blame, going through infertility while others around her were sharing their pregnancy announcements, and what led to her success with fertility treatments. Sari is open and raw about the emotional rollercoaster, speaking openly about her mental health and emotions along the way. We discuss what to say / not say to someone who is going through it, the importance of finding someone to advocate for you and the realities of things not being in our control, no matter how much we try. This episode is brought to you by Cerebelly, the only baby and toddler food with 16 essential brain-supporting nutrients.

One of our favorite episodes to date, we welcome Lucie Fink, soon to be mother of 2 (any day now!), video creator, YouTuber and podcast host. As all three of us are pregnant with our second, we discuss the transition from 1-2 and what she would do differently. We dive into the mental toll of breastfeeding, the self-inflicted pressure we sometimes put on ourselves and the resentment of carrying the mental load, regardless of how helpful and present our partner is. Lucie shares about her identity struggles postpartum and how she morphed her platform into one that speaks openly about taboo topics - sex, money and mental health. We get real about money, Lucie’s relationship with it stemming from her upbringing, and how she now approaches it as a mom. This is a must listen episode for any parent…This episode is brought to you by Cerebelly, the only baby and toddler food with 16 essential brain-supporting nutrients.

Living and parenting in France is VERY different than the US and Annabel’s here to answer all of your questions: from why they’re in Paris, what they brought and what they bought, how they found an apartment and a nanny, their daily schedule with Gemma (15 months) and all the ways they’ve adapted to French culture and living. Annabel discusses her observations as an American mom living in Paris, the unique parenting / cultural differences and which French parenting techniques she’s bringing home with her. Lastly, she shares how relocating to Paris with a toddler, while an incredible experience, was not always as glamorous as it may seem. Being completely out of your comfort zone can really test you, but there’s also so much magic in that - so much growth and key lessons that will help shape her motherhood journey. Instagram: @wearemorethanmomsPatreon: More Than Moms Guides & Resources Join our IRL LA communitySubscribe to our NewsletterProduced by Peoples Media

In today’s episode, D&A take their Instagram series of ‘do I need this’ to the pod for a part 2. They spill the tea on the most asked about baby products: if they’re worth the money, or if they’re worth skipping. They touch on everything from cribs vs bassinets, playmats and Lovevery subscriptions, high chairs, diapers, baby proofing and everything in between - and the highlight, nose booger/mucus devices 😂.Instagram: @wearemorethanmomsPatreon: More Than Moms Guides & Resources Join our IRL LA communitySubscribe to our NewsletterProduced by Peoples Media
