“I do it all” with Valeria Lipovetsky
We manifested our dream guest — Valeria Lipovetsky! We dive into what it really looks like to evolve through motherhood, marriage, business, and identity. Valeria shares why she feels more grounded and powerful — truly in her prime — at 35, the real work behind “doing it all,” and what her kids have taught her about letting go and resilience. We talk about building a strong foundation in marriage, asking for help without guilt, dropping the martyr mentality, and grieving past versions of yourself to step into who you’re becoming.If you’ve ever felt like you’re “doing it wrong,” this one’s for you.Instagram: @wearemorethanmomsPatreon: More Than Moms Guides & Resources Join our IRL LA communitySubscribe to our NewsletterProduced by Peoples MediaInstagram: @wearemorethanmomsPatreon: More Than Moms Guides & Resources Join our IRL LA communitySubscribe to our NewsletterProduced by Peoples Media Hosted on Acast.

The Screen Time Conversation: Mom Guilt & Intentional Use
We’ve been told screens are bad, that too much time in front of them will ruin our kids… cue the mom guilt. But the truth? It’s more complicated than that.In this episode, we’re getting real about how we use screen time — the messy “balance” we’re all trying to find — and how to make it work for our families instead of against us. We talk about living in a tech-heavy world, being part of the last generation (hey, millennials!) who grew up both with and without screens, and now raising kids who’ve never known life any other way. From iPads to TV to FaceTiming family, we dive into the uses, the judgment, the guilt, and how to give ourselves permission to use technology with intention, purpose, and peace.

All About Birth with Celebrity Doula Lori Bregman
We sit down with acclaimed celebrity doula Lori Bregman to demystify what a doula really does: from pregnancy to birth—and how that support can calm fear and build confidence. Lori shares how she partners with doctors and midwives, helps families navigate hospital systems, and counters the fear-mongering messages that often surround birth. She offers grounded guidance and spiritual tools for staying flexible when plans change and for letting go of control.In this heartfelt episode, Annabel opens up through tears about her own raw birth experience—the unexpected C-section that left her battling shame and the social-media glamorization of “perfect” births. A must-listen for any mama curious about doulas, birth choices, and entering motherhood with more trust and less fear.Instagram: @wearemorethanmomsPatreon: More Than Moms Guides & Resources Join our IRL LA communitySubscribe to our NewsletterProduced by Peoples MediaInstagram: @wearemorethanmomsPatreon: More Than Moms Guides & Resources Join our IRL LA communitySubscribe to our NewsletterProduced by Peoples Media Hosted on Acast.

We love our husbands… but also, let’s be honest.”
We’re not the “perfect wives” no aprons, no homemade sourdough, and our husbands definitely don’t come home to folded laundry or dinner waiting. But we’re sharing the insider details on our marriages: how we’ve evolved, how we divide responsibilities, what we fight about, and how we actually connect in our post-kids era. We’re pulling back the curtain on the hard talks, the things we’re still working on, how we feel about date nights, and those recurring fight patterns we can laugh about (most days). Honest, funny, and refreshingly unfiltered — this is definitely not marriage advice, just two moms sharing *honestly* how their relationships have evolved after kids.Instagram: @wearemorethanmomsPatreon: More Than Moms Guides & Resources Join our IRL LA communitySubscribe to our NewsletterProduced by Peoples MediaInstagram: @wearemorethanmomsPatreon: More Than Moms Guides & Resources Join our IRL LA communitySubscribe to our NewsletterProduced by Peoples Media Hosted on Acast.
