Along the way, she uncovered something striking: women everywhere are desperate for a space to talk openly about the realities of motherhood. From intrusive thoughts in the early postpartum weeks to the silent weight so many mothers carry, Sarah shares what she learned after meeting thousands of women who felt unheard, overwhelmed, and alone.We dive into the universal truths of motherhood, including the shocking realization that many women—even into their 70s—never recognized they experienced postpartum depression until reading "The Motherload." Sarah opens up about why owning your truth as a mother is essential and why no one deserves to spend decades disconnected from their own experience.Sarah also takes us behind the scenes of "The Motherload" TV adaptation, discussing the growing wave of honest storytelling about motherhood in Hollywood. She shares her dream casting (including her pick for who should play her), reveals that several high-profile moms have reached out to support the project, and reflects on how motherhood transcends status, fame, and access.In this episode, we also talk about:Why mothers need to have hard, honest conversations—not just for themselves, but for their childrenThe cultural shift toward more authentic portrayals of motherhood in mediaSarah's thoughts on the controversial article about mothers who regret having childrenHer personal “mama hot takes,” including breaking free from Instagram addictionThe biggest myth she believes we need to stop telling new momsPlus, Sarah shares the simple but powerful practice that makes her feel whole as a mother—and why being present matters more than ever.This is an unfiltered, validating, and inspiring conversation about modern motherhood, mental health, postpartum experiences, and the importance of community.

In this Resilience Unravelled episode, Russell Thackeray interviews Australia-based Dr. Rosina McAlpine, a PhD educator and former academic, about supporting working parents and raising resilient children.MacAlpine describes her shift from business-school research to parenting after facing conflicting newborn advice, leading her to write Inspired Children and develop Win Win Parenting.She contrasts parenting styles—authoritarian, authoritative (best outcomes), laissez-faire, and neglectful—emphasising that authoritative parenting teaches values, empathy, and resilience. She outlines her practical “SEE” framework: Stop (self-regulate), Empathise (connect), Educate (teach life skills).The conversation links parenting and leadership, discusses workplace equity versus resentment, gender inequality and lack of support after parental leave, and Australia's new minimum age for social media to reduce harms like bullying, anxiety, and body-image issues. MacAlpine's website offers resources and programs for leaders to build family-friendly cultures.00:00 Welcome And Introductions00:49 Reina Mission And Background02:47 Doctorate And Pivot To Parenting03:12 Parenting Styles Explained07:41 Parents As Family Leaders08:58 Workplace Wellbeing Gaps11:22 No Parenting Training Problem14:23 See Method Stop Empathise Educate18:48 Workplace Parenting Boundaries22:06 Non Parents And Support Debate24:35 Work Stress Spillover25:21 Equity Not Parental Perks27:39 Fairness Conflicts and Rosters28:37 Practical Equity Tweaks30:22 Gender Equality Reality Check31:05 Motherhood Career Penalty35:23 Women Supporting Women36:50 Parenting Values and Competition39:31 Social Media Age Ban41:32 Building Resilience and Literacy44:02 Win Win Parenting Mission45:50 Closing Thanks and WrapYou can contact us at info@qedod.comResources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com#resilience, #burnout, #intuition

In this inspiring and deeply honest episode of Between Us Moms, we sit down with world-renowned climber Emily Harrington—a 5-time U.S. National Champion and the first woman to successfully free climb Yosemite's iconic Golden Gate route on El Capitan in a single day. Known for redefining what's possible both on and off the wall, Emily has built a career on resilience, ambition, and pushing limits—and now, she's navigating her most transformative role yet: motherhood. (And yes—her documentary Girl Climber was recently nominated for a Sports Emmy.)In this conversation, Emily opens up about how becoming a mom has fundamentally reshaped her identity, her priorities, and what fulfillment looks like in this new season of life. Once driven by clear career milestones and the pressure of a ticking biological clock, she shares how intentional she was about the timing of motherhood—and how much her perspective has shifted since welcoming her son in 2022. Now on the other side, she reflects on the unexpected joy and clarity she's found, describing herself as “super happy” in a way she didn't fully anticipate.We also dive into the persistent question so many women face: Can you really have it all? Emily offers a candid and refreshing take, calling the expectation itself an “exhausting narrative.” Instead, she explores how motherhood has redefined what “having it all” even means—and why that definition is allowed to evolve over time.This episode is a thoughtful exploration of ambition, identity, and the quiet (and not-so-quiet) transformations that come with becoming a parent. Emily speaks to the tension between striving and surrendering, and how motherhood doesn't just add to your life—it reshapes what you want from it entirely.If you've ever felt caught between who you were and who you're becoming, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, grounded, and more at ease with the ever-evolving nature of it all.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week's episode dives into a few stories that feel very online at first, but quickly turn into bigger conversations about parenting, media accountability, and where culture is shifting right now.We start with Brenda Song calling out Alaska Airlines after a flight experience that hit a nerve for a lot of parents. She booked six months in advance and still got separated from her child. And that's where we had to pause, because if you've ever flown with a toddler, you already know sitting together is not a preference, it's survival. We get into why airlines treating seat assignments like “suggestions” feels completely disconnected from reality, and why separating a parent from a young child isn't just inconvenient, it can quickly become everyone's problem.Then we shift into the story that completely took over reality TV this week. Just days before premiere, ABC pulled an entire filmed season starring Taylor Frankie Paul after resurfaced footage from a 2023 domestic incident sparked immediate backlash. While the case itself was already public and even documented through police body cam footage, this newly surfaced video added a level of visibility that changed everything. We break down what was shown, why the reaction was so fast, and what it means that executives chose to scrap a project reportedly worth tens of millions of dollars.But the bigger question we keep coming back to is how it got this far in the first place. With her past already known, critics are asking whether ABC knowingly cast controversy for ratings and whether this cancellation is actually accountability or just damage control after the fact. Because this isn't just internet drama, it involves alleged violence, a child present, and very real consequences.And finally, we dive into a new global study that reveals a surprising shift in how Gen Z men view relationships, marriage, and gender roles. The numbers don't exactly match the narrative we've all been told about younger generations being more progressive, and the gap between Gen Z men and women is noticeable. We talk through what's behind this shift, what it might mean long term, and why it's sparking so much conversation right now.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Former Bachelor Nation fan favorite Amanda Stanton joins Between Us Moms for a candid conversation about motherhood, marriage, and the unexpected path that changed her life.Amanda opens up about how appearing on The Bachelor shifted her future even though her older daughters barely remember she was ever on the show. She reveals why she hasn't watched the franchise for years, why she plans to tune in for the upcoming season starring Taylor Frankie Paul, and why she believes the series was “due to switch something up.”The mom of three also gets refreshingly honest about parenting teenagers, navigating middle school drama, and the emotional challenge of watching your kids go through real-life social struggles. Amanda shares the advice she gives her daughters when they feel left out — and why she sometimes gets more upset than they do.Plus, Amanda reveals:Why her girls would be mortified to watch her Bachelor seasonThe surprising reality show she could have joined (The Real Housewives of Orange County) — and why she said noWhy she's excited to watch Ashley Iaconetti on The Real Housewives of Rhode IslandThe unexpected way she met her husband Michael Fogel just days after a breakup and why he's girl dad goals nowHer relatable idea of a perfect date What dinner time looks like in her house -- spoiler alert: it's chaotic in the best way Her honest advice for single moms dating again who are looking very their happily ever after Whether baby #4 could be in the future (even though pregnancy is so rough for her)Amanda also reflects on raising her older daughters as a young single mom, how motherhood has changed over the years and why she's a different type of mom now, and why she's fiercely protective of their privacy now that they're teenagers.
