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.

In this episode, our guest speaker is Mariella. She is a stay-at-home mom based in San Diego, California. We discussed the challenges of being a stay-at-home mom on her podcast a few months ago. Today, we will go over the positives of being a SAHM. Tune in!
