For The Mother Feeling Lost & Ready To Reclaim Herself: This is for YOU.
We’re so excited to finally share what we’ve been building: The Next Chapter. A 6-month guided group coaching experience for the woman within the mother. This episode is personal. We’re pulling back the curtain on our own identity struggles — the “who am I now?” moments, the fog, the parts of ourselves we lost and are still reclaiming. Because let’s be honest: there are endless resources for baby sleep and postpartum weight loss… but what about you?We created this because we lived it. The identity loss. The blurry in-between. The “I love my kids, but I miss me” moments. More Than Moms has always stood for this truth: women are multifaceted. We can love motherhood deeply and still want more. More clarity. More connection. More us.Now, it’s come full circle, with the program we needed, but couldn’t find.✨ In this episode:Our personal stories + identity shiftsWhat The Next Chapter is and what’s insideWho it’s for (spoiler: it might be you)Real transformation storiesHow to join the founding cohort launching July 11We’re not going back — we’re moving forward, together.Learn more at morethanmoms.com/thenextchapterDM us with any questions.

NANNY TALK: How to Find one And Why We Shouldn’t Feel Bad for Asking for Help
This is the conversation every mom needs to hear about nannies, from how to find one, verbalize your non-negotiables, navigate the logistic to the emotional weight that often comes with it. Dale shares her recent experience of having to find a new nanny and the practical, actionable steps that helped her through the process.But this episode goes deeper than just the how-to. We open up about the shame and mixed emotions many moms feel around having a nanny, ourselves included, even when we know it’s what allows us to show up as our best selves. We talk about privilege, judgment, and why it’s so important to stop projecting shame onto other moms…you never know what she’s going through. Whether you're actively in the nanny search, thinking about it for the future, or just need to hear that it’s okay to ask for help — this episode is for you.Instagram: @wearemorethanmomsPatreon: More Than Moms Guides & Resources Join our IRL LA communitySubscribe to our NewsletterProduced by Peoples Media Hosted on Acast.

An Investor Said ‘Don’t Get Pregnant’ - So They Did: Emily DiDonato and Christina Garcia
Today we’re joined by Emily DiDonato and Christina Garcia - co-founders of the skincare brand Covey, real-life best friends, and moms who built their business while pregnant at the same time. This conversation was really special - a heart-to-heart between two sets of best friends building businesses and raising families side by side. We talk about what it looked like to launch a company (and raise money!) while growing humans, how their friendship evolved through motherhood, and the realities of leading a team while navigating identity shifts, sleepless nights, and the pressure to “bounce back.” Emily opens up about her experience with postpartum anxiety and starting SSRIs, and Christina shares how she supported her through that season. Christina gets real about raising three under three, her hilarious reaction to finding out she was having twins, and what actually makes it manageable.We also dive into social media boundaries, mom guilt / shame, and the power of showing up for each other - in business, in motherhood, and in the in-between.Instagram: @wearemorethanmomsPatreon: More Than Moms Guides & Resources Join our IRL LA communitySubscribe to our NewsletterProduced by Peoples Media Hosted on Acast.

Preschools: Panic, Pressure & Picking the 'Right' One

We talk about reading your child’s cues - whether they thrive in a smaller, slower setting or a big, buzzing one, and resisting the urge to follow the crowd.
