The Mom Flow with Erin Sousa

This week, I'm sharing some of the conversations that have been taking up space in my head lately - from navigating perimenopause and finally moving forward with hormone testing to the pressure of showing up online when it feels like the loudest voices are rewarded the most. If you've ever wondered how to stay true to yourself in a world that constantly pushes you to be more, this one's for you. I...

This week, I’m coming in hot with some thoughts you’ve probably had too. Lola graduated kindy (wtf!), summer break is officially here, and I have a lot to say about the things we don’t always talk about enough: women being underpaid, the myth of effortless motherhood, only-child emotions, and why being vulnerable in front of people shouldn’t be something we’re embarrassed by. Recommendations menti...

I sat down without much of a plan, but maybe that’s exactly what this episode needed to be: a behind-the-scenes look at what life has felt like lately, beyond the little moments you might see on Instagram. Recommendations mentioned in this episode: • L’ange hot styling tool - the hair tool I’m obsessed with for smoothing, blowout-style hair without having to do a full blowout (husband stylist reco...

In this solo episode, I'm getting into a little bit of everything: soft life summer, end-of-kindergarten emotions, the rise of “yapping” content, why authenticity online works, and how I make money. Yup, all of the details. From my thoughts on the current yapping trend, the online grift of selling success stories, and why real connection - both online and in real life - still matters. Then, I open...

Why not focus on the small things? From those small things bringing me joy right now like from summer bags and brand partnerships to planning a summer at home that still feels full, fun, and intentional. I have a new Summer Side Quest series I’m going to start over on IG, a low-pressure way to romanticize summer without needing big plans, big budgets, or a Euro vacation. Think spray parks, new boo...

In this episode, I’m taking it all the way back and sharing my origin story. After getting so many questions about where I’m from, how I grew up, my family, my dad, school, moving to Vancouver, meeting Roberto, IVF, and becoming a mom, I thought it was time for a proper “get to know me” episode. It feels a little self-indulgent, but I love listening to how people (women, let's be honest!) became w...

This episode is a full voice note catch-up, recommendation spiral, life reflection… and then a really powerful conversation with my sister Karly de Lange about finally giving yourself permission to go after the life you actually want. I give this one a solo start talking about: – Why I almost didn’t start this podcast – The pressure women put on themselves to not be “too much” – The emotional Moth...

This episode is chaotic, emotional, funny, healing, and honestly… exactly what I hoped my first guest episode would feel like. My sister Karly joins me for a very real conversation about growing up 14 months apart, becoming best friends as adults, motherhood, marriage, business, personality differences, and the very specific bond sisters have that nobody else really understands. We recorded this i...

This episode is a full blown catch-up, Q&A, voice note spiral… hi, we are besties now. We’re covering SO much in this one - from Mother’s Day and modern motherhood, to skincare, ambition, beauty culture, burnout, parenting advice, fitness routines, business pivots, and trying to figure out what actually matters as women in this phase of life. Recommendations: This outfit broke my DM's and I hi...

This episode is a bit of everything, and honestly, my favourite kind to record. We are jamming a lot into 27 minutes! We’re getting into the things that have been on my mind lately, from bigger conversations around women, money, and success… to the most random (but very real) petty annoyances that I cannot stop thinking about. Because both can exist at the same time. In this episode, we get into:...

In this episode, we're digging into a big cultural conversation about trade-offs, ambition and motherhood. I’m unpacking the conversations that have been blowing up online - starting with Emma Grede’s “3-hour mom” comment and the very strong reactions that followed. We’re getting into: - The reality of trade-offs (and why we resist them) – The “what about me?” culture and how it’s showing up every...

In this episode, I’m taking you inside our Palm Springs trip - how I made it happen (the juggle is real!), the booking strategies I swear by to get great rates (my hotel hack will seriously surprise you!), and the little things that made it feel so good once we were there. We’re talking slow mornings, pool time, and the kind of reading that you can’t put down (yes, I’m sharing my thoughts on Stran...

The Mom Flow Podcast — Episode 4 In this episode, I’m kicking off a new segment I’m calling Petty Rants™️ - because we all have those small, slightly irrational things that just… get under our skin. I’m sharing mine (and yes, Coachella content is on the list). Then we get into a very real conversation around The Valley - specifically Kristen and Luke’s postpartum dynamic, and my honest take on the...

In this episode of The Mom Flow Podcast , I’m sharing a mix of life lately, real talk, and a few things I’ve been loving - starting with some recent recommendations and podcast listens that are worth adding to your list. From there, we get into a more personal conversation around friendship - including a real-life situation I recently navigated with someone who didn’t show up for me when my mom pa...

This one is a true Q&A - and you guys asked everything . From how to not feel defensive when people make comments, to prioritizing my mental health as a busy mom, to the real conversations around marriage, sharing your kids online, if I grew up with a dad… we’re getting into it and diving into topics I’ve never spoken about before. I also share a bit more about what I’m doing right now with my...

In this first episode of The Mom Flow Podcast , I’m sitting down for a real, unfiltered life lately catch-up. I’m sharing what the past few weeks have actually looked like behind the scenes - from navigating grief after losing my mom, to trying to find my footing again in the day-to-day. We get into the small things that have been helping me move through it all - leaning into creativity through ho...
