We’re talking all things motherhood—including pelvic health! In this episode of Life’s a Mom, Lisette joins me for an honest conversation about motherhood, pelvic health therapy, and caring for ourselves while raising our little ones. A reminder that moms deserve care and support, too.

Is motherhood defined by biology, or by the love you choose to show up with every day? Esther Victoria Toribio learned at 12 that her path to motherhood would look different. Now an aunt to five, she shares how she’s turned grief into resilience and compassion, and why her story isn’t about what she couldn’t have but about who she’s chosen to become.

For every woman quietly navigating infertility or an unexpected diagnosis: you’re not alone.

In this episode, I sit down with mom and content creator Nicki to talk about the real, unfiltered side of motherhood — creating content, raising kids, balancing it all, and the everyday chaos that comes with being a mom.

We talk about the funny moments, the hard moments, and why sometimes the best thing we can do is stop trying to make motherhood look perfect and just be real about it.

Motherhood changes so much about us — physically, emotionally, and personally.

This week, I sit down with Mary, founder of Nouvelle Hair Solutions, to talk all things motherhood, postpartum changes, hair loss, self-care, and why taking care of ourselves can so easily fall to the bottom of the list after becoming moms.

Mary also shares the incredible story behind Nouvelle Hair Solutions and how years of traveling around the world, studying different traditions and ingredients, helped shape what she created today.

This is the most personal episode I've ever recorded.

For years, I've shared pieces of my story, but never the whole picture. In this episode, I'm opening up about the experiences that shaped my childhood, the trauma I carried into adulthood, and the challenges that tested me in ways I never imagined.

I talk about how those experiences affected my relationships, my self-worth, and the way I viewed the world—and what it took to begin healing.

But this isn't a story about staying stuck.

It's about choosing growth. Finding gratitude. Learning that our past doesn't have to define our future.

I'm also sharing a glimpse into the book I've been writing, a project that has allowed me to reflect on my journey in a way I've never done before. I can't wait to share it with all of you when it's ready.

Most importantly, this episode is about the people who changed my life. Every hardship led me to where I am today—to becoming a mother, building a life with the man I love, and appreciating each day through a completely different lens.

If you've ever felt like your past is too heavy to move beyond, I hope this conversation reminds you that healing is possible, strength can be built through adversity, and your story is still being written.

Thank you for allowing me to share mine.

This week on Life’s a Mom, I’m diving into a topic that so many moms deal with but rarely talk about openly: screens, routines, tantrums, and the emotional load behind all of it.

I start the episode by reading a powerful Dear Nicole letter from a mom who’s been arguing with her husband about screen time — she doesn’t allow any, but every time she leaves the house, he puts the kids in front of the TV. Her frustration, her resentment, and her feeling of being “stuck” are something I know a lot of moms will relate to.

After sharing my response, I go deep into the heart of today’s episode, exploring:

• Why screen time feels so emotionally charged for moms
• How broken routines can derail an entire day
• The hidden connection between screens, overstimulation, and tantrums
• Why moms often feel like the only ones holding the boundaries
• How the lack of teamwork or consistency creates resentment in marriages
• What partners often don’t realize about the mental load we carry
• How to navigate these differences without losing yourself
  

This is an honest, comforting, and validating episode for every mom who has ever felt alone, unheard, or overwhelmed by the daily battles that seem “small” to everyone else — but shape everything for us.

If you’ve ever fought over screen time, struggled with routines, or felt like you’re carrying the emotional weight of motherhood on your own… this episode is for you.

This week on Life’s a Mom, I’m getting honest about Thanksgiving — the gratitude, the chaos, the overwhelm, and the way motherhood makes everything feel more intense in every direction.

I start this episode by reading a “Dear Nicole” letter from a mom in my Mom Dates & Play Dates community that touched me deeply. Her words reminded me why I started this group in the first place and why the connection between moms matters so much. After responding, I dive right into the heart of today’s episode.

In this Thanksgiving episode, I talk about:

• What I’m genuinely grateful for this year
• How motherhood has completely changed my meaning of gratitude
• Why gratitude can feel hard when I’m tired, overwhelmed, or overstimulated
• How my community has become my true village
• a message I want to share with any mom who feels lonely or unseen during the holidays

This episode is real, warm, emotional, and grounding. It’s for every mom who is thankful and tired, joyful and overwhelmed, blessed and human.

In this episode, I’m opening up about something every couple experiences, even the ones who look perfect from the outside — the seasons where marriage feels heavy, distant, or more like a roommate situation than a romantic partnership. After babies, careers, stress, and life moving fast, it’s easy to lose connection without even realizing it.

Ben and I have always had a great relationship, but we weren’t immune to those moments. Between raising kids and both becoming CEOs, we had to learn how to realign, communicate better, and intentionally bring fun back into our marriage. And it changed everything.

Today, I’m sharing the real steps we took — from shared Google calendars to nightly check-ins, deeper conversations, therapy even when things are good, and choosing playfulness and teamwork over frustration and silence. We rebuilt our spark in a way that feels stronger, more joyful, and more united than ever.

Suppose your relationship has felt off, heavy, or disconnected. In that case, this episode is part love story, part practical guide, and part warm reminder that you’re not alone — and that reconnection is absolutely possible. Marriage evolves, and with intention, it can grow into something even better.

This episode will give you hope, tools, laughter, and a little nudge to choose each other again… even in the chaos of parenting and real life.

This episode is extra special — my good friend Gal from New York joins me! She was the original inspiration behind Mom Date and Play Dates, and she’s doing incredible things for moms and families in Westchester County, just like we are here in Palm Beach.

Together, we talk about how it all started, the importance of community, and what it means to create spaces where moms can truly connect and support one another. We also share our journeys of building meaningful friendships, balancing life and motherhood, and finding purpose through bringing women together across different communities.

This one’s for every woman standing on the edge of motherhood — and for the mom who sometimes misses who she used to be. I’m sharing what I wish I could tell my pre-mom self: the truth about identity shifts, self-doubt, and learning to love yourself in new ways.

Who says mom life and fitness can’t mix? (Besides anyone who’s tried a plank with a baby on their back.) Amber from FIT4MOM joins me to discuss how she helps moms move, laugh, and connect — with no judgment, just a community. Tune in for stories, giggles, and the occasional parenting confession.

Boca has a reputation, right? We’ve all heard the phrase “Boca bitches.” But here’s the thing—I haven’t met a single one. Instead, I’ve found supportive, kind, badass moms who show up for each other, and I truly believe that’s because I manifested it. 

In this episode, we’ll laugh about the Boca clichés (yes, the 7 a.m. blowouts and Gucci baby sneakers) while also diving into the deeper stuff: how manifestation, mindset, and protecting your peace can shift your whole reality.

I’ll share how I’ve attracted only kindhearted women into my circle, why boundaries matter, and how your energy and perspective decide the world you create. Because life will always have drama—but when you focus on positivity, you make space for the friendships and experiences you actually want. 

In this episode of Life’s a Mom, I’m diving into the whole “Pinterest Mom vs. Real Mom” thing. Yes, I admit it — I love the Pinterest side of motherhood. The balloon arches, the themed playdates, the little details… it’s my thing. But here’s the truth: behind every curated photo is still the chaos, the meltdowns, and the very real moments that don’t make it online.

I share some funny stories, a little real talk about the pressure of social media, and even what therapists say about why some of us cling to those perfect family photos. I also open up about how even with help, motherhood is still hard — and how much respect I have for moms doing it with little or no support.

If you’ve ever scrolled Instagram and felt like you’re not enough, this episode is for you. It’s a reminder that our kids don’t need perfection — they need us.

In this episode, I sit down with Amir, celebrity trainer and my personal trainer, to dive into the world of fitness and motherhood. Amir has been such a guiding force for me — helping me better understand my body, showing me how to move in ways that feel good, and reminding me that strength isn’t just physical, it’s mental and emotional too.

We cover everything from postpartum recovery, to quick workouts busy moms can actually fit in, to shifting the mindset around fitness from punishment to empowerment. Amir’s approach is all about building confidence, energy, and resilience — because moms deserve to feel strong and supported at every stage.

Whether you’re ready to get moving again or just need the encouragement to take that first step, this episode is here to remind you: you’ve got this. 

This week I sat down to share a thought that’s been on my mind: while we’re busy raising our children, motherhood is also raising us.

The long nights, the big emotions, the constant changes — they shape us just as much as we’re shaping them. In this episode, I discuss how everyday experiences challenge us to grow, stretch, and uncover new aspects of ourselves that we never knew were there.

It’s not about getting it perfect, it’s about noticing how motherhood is its own kind of teacher — one that helps us rise into the women we’re becoming.

This week, I’m so excited to welcome Michelle, a private Pilates instructor who focuses on one-on-one training. We dive into why group fitness classes can feel intimidating and how Michelle creates a safe, supportive space where women can move at their own pace. She shares her story, the benefits of personalized Pilates, and simple ways to build strength, confidence, and a deeper connection with your body—especially during the busy seasons of motherhood.

Whether you’re brand new to Pilates or just looking for a more encouraging way to move, this conversation will leave you feeling inspired to approach fitness with more kindness and confidence.

Life after kids doesn’t just change your schedule—it changes your marriage. In this episode, Nicole opens up about the season where she and Ben felt more like roommates than partners, and how they found their way back to each other. From exhaustion and snapping over small things, to remembering they’re on the same team, Nicole shares the honest struggles—and the surprising shifts—that helped strengthen their marriage after kids.

If you’ve ever felt distant from your partner, jealous of their “breaks,” or wondered if the love is still there, this conversation is for you. You’ll hear practical ways to reconnect, the power of asking for help, and encouragement that your marriage isn’t broken—it’s evolving.

Because at the end of the day, your kids don’t just need parents who love them… they need parents who still choose each other. 

Let’s talk about it — the snapping, the yelling, the guilt that follows. In this episode, I’m getting honest about mom rage — where it comes from, what it means, and how we can handle those boiling-over moments with more grace and way less shame. If you’ve ever thought, “Why am I so angry?” — this one’s for you.

This week, I’m sharing the story I never thought I’d tell — my experience starting Zoloft as a mom. From the messy beginning to the quiet transformation, I take you through the fears, the changes, and the lessons I learned about asking for help. If you’ve ever felt like you’re drowning in motherhood, this episode will remind you: you’re not alone, and it’s okay to choose support.

In this episode, we’re diving into the real, raw side of mom friendships — the judgment, the jealousy, and the joy that comes when you finally find your people. From awkward meetups to unexpected connections, I’m sharing my own stories, lessons, and why letting go of comparison can lead to the most beautiful kind of support. If you’ve ever felt alone, left out, or just craving deeper friendships in motherhood, this one’s for you.

This isn’t just about weight loss shots. It’s about the silent pressure so many of us feel as moms — to bounce back, to shrink ourselves, to meet a standard that was never real to begin with.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on Ozempic culture and what it means for moms in 2025. The conversations we’re having… and the ones we’re too afraid to say out loud. I’m sharing my honest reflections, the quiet insecurities I’ve wrestled with, and why this goes so much deeper than a number on a scale.

Because when did motherhood become another race to “get your body back”? And what are we losing in the process?

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re enough as you are — if you’ve ever felt the weight of comparison, pressure, or silence — this is the episode I hope makes you feel a little less alone.

If you’ve ever stared in the mirror wondering, “Do I need Botox… or just a nap?”— welcome to the club.

This week, I’m spilling it all — the good, the bad, and the slightly overfilled. From postpartum body weirdness to the unspoken mom-pressure to ‘bounce back,’ I’m sharing my glow-up journey (which may or may not have included a little forehead freeze) and why I finally called B.S. on the bounce-back culture.

We’re talking beauty standards, Botox confessions, and why motherhood in 2025 feels like a full-time identity crisis with a side of dry shampoo.

If you’ve ever felt caught between “love yourself” and “fix yourself,” this one’s for you! 

I have a nanny.

I have a chef.

I have a cleaning crew.

And I still feel like I’m one lost pacifier away from a full mental breakdown.

Seriously — how is it possible to have all the help… and still feel like I’m drowning half the time?

In this episode, I’m sharing the real, messy moments behind the “she must have it all together” illusion — because spoiler alert: I don’t.

We’re talking about the invisible load moms carry, the pressure to be “enough,” and why even with a small army of help… I still forget the snacks, lose my patience, and sometimes cry in the bathroom.

This is not a highlight reel.

It’s a “yep, I’m a hot mess too” kind of conversation.

So if you’ve ever felt guilty for struggling — even with support — or wondered if you’re the only mom barely hanging on… this one’s for you.

We’re ditching the perfection, owning the chaos… and laughing a little along the way.

Welcome to Season 4. Let’s do this… mess and all.
