Parent Tell Podcast

This photo was taken the day after I gave birth in 2020. I was terrified, overjoyed, traumatized, and optimistic. Six months later I was ready to talk about it. So I started a podcast, not knowing what I was really doing and certainly not knowing how much I was going to love it or how many wonderful people I would meet.

And now, almost 4 years later, I’m ready for the podcast to come to an end. I mean I’m not really ready? But I think it’s time anyway. I have a few episodes prerecorded that I will be releasing this summer, and then Jimmy and I will do one final goodbye episode.

Not to get too sappy, but I think starting, running, writing, editing, producing, and recording my own podcast is probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. And the main reason? I have met so many amazingly wonderful people and have made countless connections. During pregnancy I felt so alone and that certainly didn’t change much during early postpartum, and having this podcast was a lifeline and also made me realize that I wasn’t alone after all.

I’m looking forward to releasing the last few episodes and then trying not to cry during the final recording. Love you all big time, thanks for the mems. 🤍🤍🤍

Right now my feed primarily consists of elaborate and stunning vacations. Beaches, mountains, swimsuits, kewt fits. Cocktails, sunsets, ice creams, and dreamy photos.

If you haven’t gone on vacation, it’s okay.
If you haven’t been to the pool once, it’s okay.
If you haven’t managed a single date night, it’s okay.
If all you’ve done all summer is work, survive, tackle daily responsibilities, and put one foot in front of the other? It’s okay.

Summer doesn’t have to be perfect and full of adventures and amazing highlights. Sometimes it looks exactly like the rest of the 3 seasons. And that’s okay.

This week on Parent Tell is an extra special one as I embarked on my first ever crossover episode! Kasey Potts, from the podcast Kasey's Korner: The Ultimate Resource for Millennial Moms, recorded with me and us millennial moms hit it off quickly with the pop culture references flowing left and right. Kasey & I discussed how much we love parenting in the 21st century and why, as well as how much millennials are taking back our power and making sure that the generation we are raising feel heard and appreciated for exactly who they are.

Kasey Potts is a content creator and podcast host who helps millennial moms overcome the overwhelm of everyday life with confidence, humor and style.
She is the host of the podcast, "Kasey’s Korner" where she holds conversations with experts and influencers around confidence, body image, and women's health issues alongside a dose of healthy lifestyle tips, humor and nostalgia.

This week on Parent Tell I sat down with Roxana, a mom to a beautiful baby girl and also the skilled esthetician who waxes my caterpillar eyebrows every month. 🐛🐛

Roxana & I became fast friends after bonding over how freaking stressful it was to name our children, and so that's what this juicy episode entails. Roxana and I talk at length about the pressures we felt to to name (or in some cases, NOT name) our babies a certain name, why naming an entire human being gives us the anxiety sweats, how growing up with an often mispronounced name effects the thoughts that go into naming your own kiddo, and how important it is to put some respect on a person's name and get.it.right.

This week we are back on the topic of BF. Not boyfriends or b*tch fits but breastfeeding. I talked with Pediatrician, IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant), and Breastfeeding Medicine Specialist, Dr. Cindy Rubin about the costs of breastfeeding in regards to a person's mental health. We discussed the various challenges a lactating person is confronted with when faced with the task of feeding their new bb and why it's important to keep bringing up how breastfeeding is for many, how seeking help is never a bad thing, and why it's okay to prioritize one's mental health above anything else.

As usual, available wherever you like to listen. Don’t forget to Follow the podcast on your streaming platform so you never miss an episode, and while you’re at it please rate the podcast and leave us a review! 🤍🤍

Words cannot accurately describe my friendship with this week’s podcast guest and just how much she means to me!! I was so happy that Emily felt comfortable coming onto the show to talk about her daughter’s intense food intolerances and how it in turn affected Emily’s breastfeeding, diet, and of course her interactions with pediatricians (since we all know how much they love to force whole cow’s milk onto us & these lil’ bbs 🫠)

This episode is a bit longer than usual, because hello it was me and my best friend just a talkin’ away, but it’s a quality listen about self advocation, honest motherhood, and, well, 💩💩
