Everything women don't talk about

We look in the mirror and what we see is Never. Good. Enough. We don’t like what we see. Somehow our bodies have become a measure of success and self-worth. Somehow, instead of helping each other out, we’re sizing each other up and quietly comparing ourselves to each other, which leads to self-doubt, sadness…and eating disorders. The reality is that thousands of women deal with body shame and eating disorders now, but we never talk about it with each other…why? Because it’s rooted in fear, judgment, our own baggage. Let's wrap our head around this very REAL issue and help women feel better.

Like an unwanted gut punch when you're ready to have a baby, thousands of women face the fact that they are infertile every. damn. day. And it's awful. It messes with your mind, your relationship, your work...and the problem? Unlike maternity leave and baby showers, we don't talk about infertility! No more. Let's be real about how hard it is and how we can help each other on the journey.

Life throws us all curveballs. Things that completely change our day-to-day and affect everything - from a death in the family to job loss to divorce. Managing those feelings and realities are hard enough. But what about when life hands you MORE than a curveball? These two women talk about exactly that - and how they're trying hard to land on their feet. This episode is about "making do" and resilience...and there's no more perfect time than the holidays to listen into this one.

Being a "single mom" can mean a lot of things. Divorced and raising kids on your own? A partner/spouse that travels M-F? A partner that passes away? Mom-ing is hard enough with a partner... But what this episode revealed is that single moms are badasses - and we can ALL learn from them. They have to be efficient, ask for help and so much more... Listen in.

Mental health. Depression. OCD. We throw these words around like footballs and giggle about the meds, but we're really not talking about what we're going through behind the scenes. Why is that? What are we afraid of? A lot. This episode laughs, cries and digs deep into the realities of mental health "stuff" - you'll come out better on the other side. Promise.

How many children do you have?" "Which little one is yours?" What if you're a women who's chosen not to have children...or perhaps you're unable to. Regardless, and especially as we get older and so many friends have kids, life as a woman without them isn't easy. The implication is that you have to have children to be a "real woman." Two strong women talk about this tough issue and the impact on friendships, holidays and so much more.

No one warned me about how hard raising teens really is today (yes, that's you, I'm talking to. ;) Social media, sex, school pressure, seriously awful attitudes...where did my sweet kids go? And why isn't there an older mom mentoring us all? Well, this episode dives right into the real stuff - and we have a mom who's been through it to shed some helpful light.
