Podcasts about mom brain

This week Clancy and Gabie are holding nothing back as they dive into everything they wish they knew before becoming moms…and what no one prepared them for. They talk about everything from anxiety to body changes to breastfeeding to mom brain. Nothing is off the table!

In this solo episode of Mommywood, I'm opening up about my personal experience taking tirzepatide after struggling with postpartum weight, brain fog, exhaustion, and constant “food noise” after having my daughter. I talk about what finally pushed me to try it, how it affected my relationship with food, my confidence, energy levels, and even the way I approach self-tapes as an actor mom.I'm also sharing the questions I wrestled with around body image, motherhood, stigma, and whether it felt like “cheating.” Plus, I answer listener questions about side effects, costs, microdosing, acting, parenting, and what happens after stopping.This episode is not medical advice — it's simply me honestly sharing my own experience navigating wellness, identity, and confidence in motherhood and Hollywood.

In this episode, I'm chatting with with America's #1 Mom Coach, Hannah Keeley, to unpack the truth behind mom brain.

Whether you're a mom of littles, teens, or somewhere in between, this conversation is full of practical encouragement and real-life strategies for thriving—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. In this episode, we cover: What “mom brain” really is (and how it changes your brain physically) Common symptoms: forgetfulness, anxiety, overwhelm, distraction The faith-filled path to releasing control and worry Why productivity doesn't always fix your stress “Bow tying” and other practical hacks for completing tasks How to gently reclaim your focus and your peace ⁠View full show notes on the blog⁠ + ⁠watch full episode on YouTube⁠.

Mama werden verändert nicht nur dein Leben. Es verändert auch dein Gehirn.In dieser Hi, Baby! Folge spreche ich mit Alina Grandt – Mutter, Psychologin und Autorin, die sich intensiv mit dem Phänomen Muttertät beschäftigt. Wie verändert Mutterschaft unser Gehirn? Unsere Identität? Unsere Wahrnehmung und unsere innere Welt?Wir sprechen darüber, was in uns passiert, wenn wir Mutter werden — und warum dieser Prozess oft viel tiefer, wilder, schmerzhafter und gleichzeitig kraftvoller ist, als unsere Gesellschaft bisher anerkennt.In dieser Folge geht es unter anderem um:✔ warum Mutterschaft wie eine innere Geburt ist — und warum so viele Frauen dabei das Gefühl haben, sich selbst erst zu verlieren, bevor etwas Neues entsteht ✔ was das Mom Brain wirklich ist und welche krassen Stärken dadurch entstehen können ✔ warum viele Mamas sich in ihrer neuen Rolle gleichzeitig kraftvoller und erschöpfter fühlen✔ warum gerade Mütter von besonderen, fordernden oder neurodivergenten Kindern diesen inneren Wandel oft besonders intensiv erleben ✔ und welche Vision es für die Zukunft braucht, damit Mütter in diesem Übergang nicht mehr allein gelassen werdenDiese Folge ist für dich, wenn du manchmal denkst: „Ich bin seit ich Mutter bin nicht mehr dieselbe — und ich weiß ehrlich gesagt noch nicht mal, wer ich jetzt eigentlich bin.“Und sie ist ganz besonders für dich, wenn du ein Kind begleitest, das mehr braucht, mehr fühlt, mehr fordert — und du spürst, dass Mutterschaft dich auf eine Weise verändert hat, auf die dich niemand vorbereitet hat.*Hier geht's zu Alinas Buch "Mom Brain – Wie Mutterschaft dein Gehirn verändert und du deine volle Kraft aktivierst"*Zur Prämiere-Feier von "Anders glücklich" kannst du dich via E-Mail (isa@isawhoelse.de) kostenlos anmelden

Number 1008What does the new year bring us? A couple of sick podcast hosts, unfortunately! Mom Brain is sick, I'm also sick, and Deux Michaels is fighting off a cold as well. Deux stayed home for this episode and we kept Nicky Hill from getting infected, but myself and Mom Brain held things down at GN HQ for a briskly-paced episode to kick off 2026. Less filler, more news, and a heaping helping of germs!

Description:Today's guest is someone who instantly made an impression on Jen when they met at a recent Hello Sunshine event in LosAngeles, when she moderated a Shine Away panel with Jen and beloved 9010 star and recent For the Love guest, Jennie Garth. Within five minutes Jen thought, “Okay… she's one of us.” Warm, sharp, steady — Kanika Chadda-Gupta has this grounding presence that makes a whole room exhale. An award-winning former CNN journalist and producer, Kanika built a thriving career in television news before motherhood rerouted her life in the most profound way. Born in India and raised in the U.S., her story is braided with themes so many of us know intimately: immigration and bicultural identity, the expectations women inherit, the invisible labor we carry, and the endless negotiation between ambition, caregiving, and our own becoming. Today, Kanika is the creator and host of the beloved Total Mom Sense podcast, where she distills her lived experience — raising children while caring for aging parents, navigating mental and emotional load, reinventing purpose in midlife — into practical wisdom for women who are doing it all and feeling all of it. In this conversation, we talk about what happens when life asks us to reevaluate our pace, our priorities, and the stories we've been handed about success. We discuss staying rooted inside seasons of huge responsibility, finding yourself in the middle of caregiving, and reclaiming a sense of agency and identity in motherhood and beyond. If you've ever felt stretched thin between generations, pulled in every direction, or unsure how to follow your own calling while caring for everyone else — Kanika's clarity and compassion will feel like a deep breath. This one's for all of us standing at the intersection of who we were, who we are, and who we're still becoming. Thought-provoking Quotes: "I like getting the gold star from all of my teachers. I did all the AP classes. I hung out with my teachers at lunchtime. We had open lunch, and it was like you could go to McDonald's, or you could go across the street to the pizza place. But I would go sit with Ms. Townsend, my biology teacher, and just kick it.” – Kanika Chadda-Gupta "It may be, the only headlights that you see heading to the eye of the storm are the first responders and the reporters. And I thought, I want to be in the eye of the storm. I belong here. I need to be here. I need to prove myself. And so then I stayed.” – Kanika Chadda-Gupta "I was most surprised by how your kids will make you face your childhood trauma head on. My dad and I get along great now, but when we were younger, he would say things that really just shot my self-esteem. And those are the first things that come up when my kids do something wrong and I'm like, wow, I gotta reframe." – Kanika Chadda-Gupta Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Hello Sunshine Shine Away Conference 2025 – https://shineaway.hello-sunshine.com/event/eddb3575-ec80-4812-a371-354c900d7cbf/summary Jim Gaffigan, comedian – https://www.jimgaffigan.com/ Mom Brain with Hilaria Baldwin and Daphne Oz - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mom-brain/id1438292826 Guest's Links: Website - https://kanikachaddagupta.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kanikachaddagupta/ Twitter - https://x.com/KanikaChadda Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/kanikachaddagupta/ Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgkOq_AmLsvu6YJsKglQvSw TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@kanikachaddagupta?lang=en Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/kanikachaddagupta/ Podcast - https://kanikachaddagupta.com/podcast/ Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
