Life’s a mom

This week on Life’s a Mom, I sat down with Pillar from Venusta Health for an honest and eye-opening conversation about women’s health, postpartum changes, hormones, metabolism, peptide therapy, and what really happens to our bodies after motherhood. We talked about why so many moms feel exhausted, foggy, disconnected from themselves, and like their body just isn’t the same after having kids — and...

On the Life’s a Mom podcast, I’m joined by speech-language pathologist Alex Telvi for an informative and reassuring conversation about how children develop speech and language skills, what is typical at different ages, and how parents can feel more confident supporting their child’s communication. As both a mother of two and a dedicated advocate for early childhood development, Alex brings a thoug...

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...

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 con...

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...

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...

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 li...

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 w...

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 no...

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.

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 stren...

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 i...

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 reflec...

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...

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 in...
