Get ready for a real deep dive into confronting our shadows. Those things that have followed us for years that we avoid, the parts of us that make us uncomfortable or sad, scared or angry. We get into it! Brandi and Orly take turns reading letters they wrote to their younger selves. It gets emotional and real but also there is so much clarity in this exercise.

From neighborly complaints, poor progress reports and the dilemma of social media, Brandi & Orly catch up on what's been happening in momhood. Brandi shares the letter she received from an anonymous neighbor complaining about her crying baby disturbing the peace of the neighborhood (see the letter on Instagram @MOMHOODSHOW), Orly shares her son's satisfactory behavior in school and the non-negotiable rule she has in her home and then we discuss Netflix's new documentary on social media.

See you next week Mamas, for part 2 of our long awaited second half of our interview with Susan Yara!

Ever been called out by your kid... on your parenting...and you know they're right? What did you do? Orly's daughter straight up called her out on something and we get into it.  If you could go back to that instance and say or do something differently, would you? Why do we parent the way we parent? How much of what we say and do is learned from our parents and how they parented us? How do you know what is best, right or wrong? And what role does our subconscious mind play in how we make decisions in our home? 

We really go down the rabbit hole with this one and dig deep to figure out clarity and ultimately what is best for us.

We have such a special treat for you today as we learn about Susan Yara. If you don't already know Susan from following her on social media--she's a beauty & lifestyle expert, the Founder of the Youtube Channels Mixed Makeup and Susan Yara, and the founder of the skincare line, Naturium. She's an incredibly accomplished powerhouse entrepreneur and in this interview we explore how this all came to be. Susan's story is fascinating. From learning the unbelievable story of how her parents met,  growing up poor in small town New Mexico, her difficult adolescent years into college and beyond...there are so many amazing stories she shares about obstacles she overcame, moments of defeat and triumph, pivotal life changing moments, bold moves and destiny colliding --every story gets better and better but one things for sure and that is Susan's perseverance and strength to never settle. This interview is so good we can't wait to record part two with her so we can get into the rest of what makes Susan who she is today.

In today's interview we are joined by celebrity stylist and mom of two, Ali Levine. In this real and raw conversation Ali talks about her experience with postpartum depression-how it felt, what she thinks contributed to it, her lowest moments, how she got help, what worked for her, and what she did differently this time around when she had her second daughter.  Most importantly, this conversation is about the importance of sharing postpartum depression stories especially because it affects each person differently, understanding it's more common than you think, that you are never alone and learning what to do if you ever find yourself or a friend feeling depressed after baby. This episode is super powerful and full of tools anyone can use.

We've been wanting to interview our husbands for-ev-er! What better way to learn a little more about us, our lives and our marriages than from our significant others?! Brandi had the opportunity to interview her husband, Chris and the conversation feels like we're all a fly on the wall in their home. It's totally unfiltered, off the cuff, real and raw banter between husband and wife and it doesn't get any better than this! We strongly encourage you to try this out with your partner as a way to connect and do a little relationship "check-in". The questions they discuss are below but you can totally come up with ones of your own.

Questions to Ask Your Partner:

1. What is your favorite thing about being married?
2. When you were younger what did you think marriage would look like?
3. What was your favorite part of our wedding day?
4. What is your favorite thing I do for you?
5. How do you show me that you love me?
6. How do I show you that I love you?
7. What kind of mom/dad am I?
8. What do you think our kids think of us? What do you think their favorite thing to do with us is?
9. What is your favorite memory of our relationship?
10. If we had a week alone (and we weren't experiencing a pandemic) what would we do?
11. What is my most annoying trait?
12. Where do you see our marriage in 5 years? in 10 years? in 20 years?
13. What are you excited about most when it comes to the future?

Never easy sharing a scary accident especially when it involves our children but Brandi is sharing something that happened to her baby in hopes that it won't happen to you. Keeping our homes safe is important especially when children get injured (or worse) by 100% preventable accidents that happen in our homes. There are so many things we can to do to try and keep our families as safe as possible when they are in our four walls...because a split second can change everything.

When we sat down with Bravo’s Real Housewives of Potomac star Monique Samuels it was to talk about her book, “Potty Training Mommy & Daddy: A Guide for Introducing Infant Potty Training As Early As 6 Months.” But within minutes of our conversation it was hugely apparent that this interview was so much more than just how to get our babies potty trained at a young age. This conversation goes deep into purposeful parenting and how potty training as young as 6 months is just one example of the ways we can foster independence in our children. There are so many powerful moments in this interview where Monique shares her parenting perspective and how every day there are things we can do in our own homes with our children that matter and make a difference.

"Mothers are supposed to be martyr-like in our patience. We are not supposed to want to hit our kids or to tear out our hair. We hide these urges, because we are afraid to be labeled “bad moms."--Minna Dubin's The Rage Mothers Don't Talk About https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/15/parenting/mother-rage.html

Today's guest is one you'll be hearing about for a long time. Listen as we talk to writer, artist, educator Minna Dubin about mom rage and all its forms.  From the shame surrounding mom rage to the bigger issue behind it...this conversation is big and it's a necessary one we need to talk about more.  How can we control our rage and the emotions behind it? What can we do to be better? How can we change the conversation around motherhood and mom rage? And what do we tell our children?

Today is our first Mini Monday! A shorter episode with just us two, where we discuss updates in our lives, take questions from you and any entertaining / relevant stories. Orly shares her total meltdown over Conor missing FREE DRESS DAY at school and how she manifested the money for her Italian Vacation. Brandi shares a fight she had with Mr. A that really shook her.

Today we interview actress and TV host October Gonzalez’s, who you may also know as the beautiful wife of NFL Superstar, Tony Gonzalez.

October’s story is beautiful and at times gut wrenching but most importantly, it's incredibly inspiring!

Originally we planned to chat with her about her life as a young girl / woman, and then her life as a wife / mother but it quickly became clear that this would have to be a 2 part interview.

So today, it’s an honor to share the part of her life that made her the woman, the wife and the mother she is today.

Our conversation will give you so much perspective on how your past doesn’t have to determine your future and the power you have to turn the page and write your own chapter.

We hope you enjoy this one and in two weeks we’ll share PART TWO of our October Gonzalez interview, which will focus on Marriage and Motherhood.

You can follow October on instagram @OctoberGonz and listen to her podcast KeepOn including the episode Orly & Brandi were on: Living Your Dream and Finding Your Purpose
