TW: discussion of sudden death and grief. In this episode, I sit down with my friend Katie Sullivan to talk about the sudden loss of her husband, Hudson, and what life has looked like since while parenting through grief. Katie opens up about the identity crisis that comes with losing a spouse, the strange duality of feeling joy and grief at the same time,  and the outpouring of support she received right after her loss (plus, the reality once everyone goes back to their own lives). She shares what has helped her through it all and what she'd want anyone supporting a grieving friend, or grieving themselves, to know.

Key Takeaway / Points:

• How Katie met her husband and the life they built together

• What happened the day of the accident

• The different phases of grief

• What to do for support of someone grieving instead of "let me know what you need"

• The identity crisis that comes with losing a spouse

• Learning to hold joy and grief in the same moment

• Giving yourself grace as a solo parent grieving in real time

• What she wants anyone who has lost a partner to know

  
  

10 Ways To Support Someone Who Has Lost A Spouse:

1. In the early days, focus on essentials. 

2. Make specific offers, not open-ended ones.

3. Send the text. 

4. When in doubt, ask. 

5. Fill the quiet hours.

6. If you want to help long term, find a job to “own”. 

7. Make concrete plans. 

8. Remember the kids on big days.

9. Anticipate hard days that often go unnoticed.

10. Keep showing up.

We are officially in the home stretch! In this episode, I break down my pregnancy symptoms from weeks 32-35. I get into the brutal pregnancy insomnia, my growth scan and the 3D images that had me freaking out over how much this baby already looks like my second, and the sacrum clicking that nearly sent me into another orbit. I also defend the belly-out pregnant girls, share my very unsolicited thoughts on ideal due-date timing, and admit I am nesting like an absolute psychopath.

Key Takeaway / Points:

• Why pregnancy sleep is worse than sleep with a newborn

• Having to pee constantly and feeling so uncomfortable in my body

• Belly talk: lifting it to function, excited for a squishy belly, and the relief of someone holding its weight for you

• Sacrum clicking, my chiropractic care, and why pelvic floor PT has been a game changer

• My honest opinion on due-date timing for first babies versus everyone after that

• The wildest things I've manifested off my vision boards since starting TBM

• What "authentic self" really means and the exercises to help find it

• Expanders explained: how to spot the specific essence you're drawn to in someone instead of copying their whole life

• Why jealousy is actually useful data and a nudge from the universe

• The difference between mini and major manifestations

In this episode, I sit down with Joe Gonzales, founder of the Brooklyn Stroll Club, for a candid conversation about fatherhood. Joe talks about his experience with new fatherhood, realizing he needed community, and how he created it for himself and other first-time dads. Joe opens up about becoming more vulnerable as a dad, why men get praised for doing the bare minimum, and what it really looks like to support your partner through pregnancy and postpartum. We also get into millennial dads changing the narrative around fatherhood, the mental health crisis men are facing, and why every parent should be able to leave the house without leaving a single note for their partner.

Key Takeaway / Points:

• How his call out to social media asking "where do the dads hang out?" turned into creating the Brooklyn Stroll Club 

• Why the zero to one transition feels harder for many dads

• The double standard of dads being praised for the bare minimum

• How fatherhood forces men to be more vulnerable

• Why men need safe spaces and why it's not women's responsibility to create them

• Millennial dads changing the stereotypes

In this friendship series episode, I sit down with one of my oldest friends, Katie DeLuca Arundel, to talk about our friendship over the years and how we’ve supported one another through it all. She clears the air about why so little of what she filmed for Bravo’s In The City made it to air, her friendship with Amanda, & what it felt like to be torn apart online before viewers had ever heard her speak. Katie also shares honestly about what she was navigating behind the scenes: two missed miscarriages, the physical and emotional toll it’s taken on her, and how she's holding grief and genuine happiness for her friends at the same time. 

Key Takeaways / Points:

• Our friendship origin story

• Being a "friend of" vs. full-time cast member for In The City

• Why her In the City scenes didn't air, and why she wasn't at the reunion

• Honest friendship conversations she had with Amanda that we didn’t see on air

• Navigating a miscarriage the same week the Summer House reunion audio leaked

• What a missed miscarriage is, and why she had no idea it was possible

• How two things can be true: grieving your own losses AND showing up for your pregnant friends

In this episode, I sit down with Madison Utendahl, founder, CMO, & writer of Burnt on Substack, for her second time on the show. Madison walks us through why she shut down her agency at the height of its success and what it actually took to separate her identity from her work. She opens up about the guilt and shame that shaped her need to succeed, her 70/30 rule for keeping part of her life untouched by monetizing, and the ketamine therapy experience that helped her heal. Plus, why she believes burnout recovery is bullshit and prevention is the only real strategy.

Key Takeaway / Points:

• Why she closed her profitable agency and the offer she walked away from

• The 70/30 rule: letting a job just be a job so 30% of your life holds no financial expectation

• Why "quit your job and follow your passion" doesn't work anymore, and what burnout prevention looks like instead

• Moving from guilt and shame around financial privilege into responsibility

• How she grew her following on social media in 60 days

In this episode, I sit down with Alexis McGill Johnson, the CEO and President of Planned Parenthood, for a conversation that feels more urgent than ever in today's political climate. Alexis shares how she went from political science professor to leading the nation's largest sexual and reproductive healthcare provider. We get into why Planned Parenthood is so much more than abortion care, what she remembers from the day Roe v. Wade was overturned, and why she wasn't surprised like I was. We also dive into the Black maternal health crisis, why maternal mortality rates are higher for Black women, and what's actually happening to providers and patients in the most restrictive states.

Key Takeaways / Points:

• Why abortion is only about 4% of what Planned Parenthood provides (and what makes up the rest of what they offer)

• The "believability gap" that left so many people unprepared for Roe being overturned

• How the state-by-state system means your freedom can change with a 30-minute drive

• The way abortion bans are quietly making all pregnancy more dangerous

• What the “One Big Beautiful Bill” actually does, and how defunding Medicaid becomes a backdoor abortion ban

• Why Black and brown communities are hit hardest

• The most effective ways to support Planned Parenthood

• How to have a real conversation with someone who's anti-choice

In this episode, I sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Jaclyn Nofech-Mozes for part two of our conversation on infant attachment. Dr. Jaclyn gives a refresher on the four attachment styles and what it actually looks like to meet your baby’s needs day to day. We dive into the relationship between maternal mental health and mother-infant attachment, how to show up for your child even when you’re struggling, and whether your baby actually picks up on your nervous system. Whether you're navigating daycare guilt, having intrusive thoughts, or contact naps are taking over your life - this episode is a reminder that there is no such thing as a perfect parent.

Key Takeaway / Points:

• Four attachment styles explained

In this episode, I detail all of my pregnancy symptoms, thoughts, and feelings during weeks 16-19! While I've officially entered the honeymoon phase, it has not come without its low points. I share everything from the crash outs I’ve had while getting dressed, to dealing with complicated feelings around weight gain and body image, and why people's obsession with baby gender is starting to become offensive. I also discuss my quick trip to LA, the pure joy of finally feeling real baby kicks, and why I genuinely think we are all way too chill about women just existing in the world while growing a human.

Key Takeaway / Points: 

• Why maternity denim will never be the same as real jeans

• Starting pelvic floor physical therapy (& trying not to pee myself constantly)

• How I’m finding body-neutrality with weight gain this pregnancy

• The joy of a not finding out the sex of the baby until delivery

• Baby kicks and the realness of this pregnancy setting in

• Throwing up six times on the side of an LA highway and my 48-hour headache

• Current food obsessions: chicken caesar wraps, Coldstone, & Ruffles chips

In this episode sponsored by Johnson & Johnson, I sit down with world champion sprinter and mental health advocate Jasmine Blocker. Jasmine talks about how sports have shaped her life and her decision to speak openly about mental health. She also shares her journey with major depressive disorder (MDD)—cycling through adequate trials of multiple depression medications without finding symptom relief—before being diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression (TRD).

Jasmine discusses what it meant to finally receive a TRD diagnosis, actively participating in treatment decisions, and how SPRAVATO® (esketamine) CIII nasal spray helped relieve her depressive symptoms. Every patient’s experience is different, so if you or an adult you know has been experiencing TRD, talk to a healthcare provider about SPRAVATO® and whether it may be the right fit. Visit SPRAVATO.com to learn more, including information on serious side effects such as sedation, dissociation, respiratory depression, and the risk of abuse and misuse.

Hopping on the mini mics for a bonus episode with my sister, Lucy, to recap all things Heated Rivalry and our all-consuming obsession. Some would say it is a fun internet community/cult we've joined and others may say it's unhealthy, but we don't care because it brings us joy!! If you haven't watched Heated Rivalry yet, let this be your sign to go binge the season (only 6 episodes on HBO) and then come listen to this recap.

Apologies for the subpar audio quality, but I didn't pack my microphones for our family vacation and simultaneously felt very pulled to do a longer form recap of my love for this show. So here we are!!

In this episode (originally aired on 7/12/23), I sit down with Dr. Aliza Pressman, developmental psychologist, co-founder of the Mount Sinai Parenting Center and the Seedlings Group, professor, and host of the Raising Good Humans podcast.

Finally, we discuss growth mindsets versus fixed mindsets in children, how to start potty training with your child, and what she finds both difficult and great about parenting teenagers right now.
