It's a big week on the podcast! Katie celebrated her 40th birthday with a huge bash thrown by her hubby, Jason. Meanwhile, Hallie is celebrating back-to-school season and all the free time she has now that her toddler is back in pre-K.The mamas break down some of the big headlines this week, including Kim Kardashian's latest parenting choice. The reality star is facing criticism after fans noticed that her 12-year-old daughter, North West, received a dermal piercing on her middle finger. Critics expressed concerns about North's age and the potential risks, including healing difficulties, the piercing being easily ripped out, and an increased chance of infection.Meanwhile, Briana DeJesus from Teen Mom shared several videos on Snapchat showing her and her 14-year-old daughter, Nova, getting matching nose piercings for Nova's birthday. She defended the decision online, saying that her daughter is a great kid, a straight-A student, and that while she was hesitant at first, she ultimately felt her teenage daughter deserved it—as long as she keeps her grades up and stays out of trouble.Hallie and Katie weigh in and reveal when they think it's appropriate for parents to let their kids get piercings. They also reflect on the first time they saw their husbands' bachelor pads, following Kylie Kelce's hilarious revelation about her now-husband, Jason Kelce.And with school back in session, Hallie and Katie dive into Kim Kardashian's comments about homework. During a livestream conversation filmed over the weekend, the SKIMS founder said she isn't a fan of homework. Kim, who shares four children with her ex, Kanye West, explained that kids already spend eight hours at school and need time afterward for sports, life, and family—adding that she believes homework should be done in school.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us a textWhat does it really mean to be a "selfish mom"? In this raw and candid episode, I open up about my recent Hashimoto's diagnosis and why it's become my wake-up call to prioritize my health again. After years of putting everyone else first, I'm embarking on a 30-day journey eliminating gluten, dairy, and sugar—not from a place of restriction, but with the hope of reclaiming my energy and feeling like myself again.Many of you have noticed my recent weight changes and asked if I'm using GLP-1s. The answer is no, but I share my honest thoughts on weight loss aids and why sustainable habits matter more than quick fixes. I also tackle the uncomfortable truth that losing weight doesn't automatically make you content with your body—something I've learned firsthand after losing over 50 pounds.The reality of life with three boys ages 11, 7, and 2 isn't always Instagram-perfect. I confess to moments of disassociation, feeling overstimulated, and sometimes sitting in my car before entering the house just to catch my breath. These aren't failures—they're necessary adaptations when you're stretched thin. The secret isn't doing it all perfectly; it's getting back in the driver's seat of your life rather than letting life happen to you.For those struggling to find themselves amid the chaos of motherhood, I'm launching a six-week Selfish Mom Method coaching program designed to help you prioritize your mental and physical health while creating sustainable routines. Because here's what I've learned: taking care of yourself isn't selfish—it's the foundation that allows you to show up fully for everyone else.Ready to redefine what being "selfish" really means? This conversation might be exactly what you need to hear.Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Sigi (Yes, like the yogurt...) is a bicoastal and bilingual Swiss-Israeli-American triple citizen. (Did you follow?) You almost saw her on Unprisoned, This Is Us, Henry Danger, and Jessie, but those roles ended up on the cutting room floor. You can, however, still catch her on Call Your Mother, Girl Meets World, The Middle, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and the hit Apple+ series Lessons in Chemistry. Sigi has created lots of digital content and won Best Actress for her film Optimistic Realist at the Portland Comedy Film Festival for playing an aspiring actress slash Hebrew school teacher. It was a real stretch. Sigi is a member of Theatre of NOTE and has performed on stages all over LA. Favorite critically-acclaimed productions include The Diary of Anne Frank (Best Leading Actress), Bad Jews, The Immigrant, and Askance (Outstanding Understudy in a Drama). Aside from making people laugh, Sigi can often be seen carrying seven beverages at once and an overpriced diaper bag that conveniently has no beverage holders.On this episode of Mommywood, Sigi shares her experience navigating the complexities of motherhood, from the transition of having one child to two, to the challenges of balancing personal identity with parenting. We discuss the emotional and physical aspects of pregnancy, the dynamics between siblings, and the societal pressures surrounding maternal instinct. The conversation also touches on the realities of being a working mom in the creative industry, the importance of support systems, and the joy found in small moments with children. Ultimately, we emphasize the value of connection, creativity, and the unique journey of motherhood.00:00 The Journey of Motherhood Begins02:49 Navigating the Transition from One to Two05:53 Sibling Dynamics and Playtime08:51 Pregnancy Experiences: The Same Yet Different11:26 The Myth of Maternal Instinct14:28 Balancing Identity: Mom, Actor, and Comedian17:15 The Decision to Start a Family20:10 The Reality of Working Moms22:59 The Challenges of Returning to Work26:01 Finding Joy in the Chaos29:02 The Role of Support Systems31:53 The Impact of Pets on Family Life34:35 Creative Pursuits Amidst Motherhood37:18 Advice for Aspiring Actor Moms40:29 Finding Balance and Fulfillment43:16 The Importance of Connection and Joy

As a mom and host of the Momplex Podcast, I'm passionate about helping other mothers rediscover their joy and confidence. In this episode, I call out the myth that feeling exhausted and overwhelmed is just “mom life.” I share my own struggles with burnout, brain fog, and constant stress, and how I learned to listen to my body's signals. By regulating my nervous system through conscious breathing, movement, grounding, and self-care, I transformed my health and mindset. I encourage you to notice your symptoms, join my free 7-Day Nervous System Reset Challenge, and reach out with what you're experiencing. You don't have to accept feeling drained—healing is possible, and when you prioritize yourself, you set a powerful example for your kids. Let's break the cycle of burnout together and step into our most energized, confident, and joyful lives. I know I gave a few "lists" in this episode but I have shared them with you here. 1. Symptoms of a dysregulated nervous system: - Chronic exhaustion (tired even after sleep) - Brain fog (forgetfulness, confusion) - Mood swings (loss of interest, irritability) - Digestive issues (bloating, constipation, diarrhea, appetite changes) - Sleep struggles (trouble falling/staying asleep, no dreams, waking at 3am) - Anxiety (constant worry, expecting bad news) - Frequent sickness (catching colds easily, slow recovery) - Physical tension (tight jaw, headaches, tense neck/shoulders) - Hormonal shifts (perimenopause effects, feeling weaker) 2. Tips to regulate your nervous system: - Conscious breathing (deep, belly breaths, habit-stacked into daily routines) - Movement (not just exercise—walking, shaking out limbs, dancing, moving during calls) - Grounding (noticing senses: 5 things you see, 4 feel, 3 hear, 2 smell, 1 taste) - Singing and humming (using your voice for regulation) - Pausing before reacting (hand on chest, deep breath, ask how you want to respond) 3. "Nervous system triggered mom moments" (examples of signs you might be dysregulated): - Snack rage (irritation when kids ask for snacks) - Forgetting why you entered a room - Freezing when someone calls "mom" - Anxiety from email/phone notifications - Invisible mental load (remembering everyone's needs, forgetting your own) - Late-night Netflix/revenge procrastination (staying up for alone time) - Overreaction regret (snapping at family, then feeling guilty) - Super stressed shoulders/neck pain - Digestion issues (bloating, unexplained changes) - Waking up at 3am, frequent illness You will also find this Episode Useful: Stop Doomscrolling & Reclaim sleep (end revenge bedtime procrastination) Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textNavigating the world of skincare can feel overwhelming with endless products, treatments, and conflicting advice. What actually works? What's worth your money? And how do you address specific concerns like aging, acne, or hyperpigmentation?In this revealing conversation with licensed aesthetician Lesley Dressel, we debunk skincare myths and uncover evidence-based practices that can truly transform your skin. Lesley shares her journey from medical sales to becoming a skincare expert, bringing both professional knowledge and personal experience to the table. You'll be shocked to learn that acne takes a full 90 days to form (not overnight!) and why those makeup removing wipes need to be tossed immediately.We explore the three non-negotiable elements of any effective skincare routine: proper sunscreen (not just what's in your foundation), hydration strategies, and growth factors to stimulate collagen production. Lesley rates popular treatments from hydrafacials (a perfect 10/10) to eye creams (a modest 5/10) and explains why dermaplaning won't make your facial hair grow back darker. For the tech-savvy skincare enthusiasts, we discuss advanced options like microneedling, BBL, and laser treatments, including realistic expectations for results and recovery.Whether you're dealing with adult acne, concerned about aging, or simply want to establish healthy skin habits, this episode offers practical advice for every age and skin type. Even if you've never had a facial or used anything beyond basic drugstore products, you'll walk away with clear, actionable steps to achieve your best skin ever.

Send us a textHave you ever felt that uncomfortable itch that what once fit your life perfectly now feels like a stranger's coat? That career you chose decades ago, the one that defined your identity for so long—what happens when it no longer aligns with who you've become?This raw, honest conversation dives into the reality of midlife transitions and career pivots. Beginning with a hilariously mortifying story about a lice infestation during a professional training (yes, really!), we quickly move into deeper waters, exploring how our professional identities can simultaneously define us and trap us. We unpack that moment of recognition when you realize the person who chose your career path is essentially a stranger to who you are today—and why that realization isn't a failure but an opportunity for growth.The fear of change keeps many of us locked in roles that no longer serve us. We discuss the physiological truth that fear and excitement create identical responses in our bodies—it's only our interpretation that differs. By reframing the uncertainty of transition as exhilarating rather than terrifying, we can move through career shifts with more courage and less anxiety. For women especially, timing these transitions strategically matters, as ageism presents real challenges for those making later-life career changes.Whether you're contemplating a dramatic career change or simply seeking to revitalize your current path, this episode offers permission to honor your evolution. Small shifts can be just as meaningful as complete transformations. The key is recognizing when you've shifted into autopilot and taking intentional steps to realign your work with who you've become.Ready to make a change but feeling stuck? Connect with us through our website or social media—we'd love to be your cheerleaders as you take that leap into the unknown. Because what waits on the other side of discomfort? Something far more exciting than you can imagine.Please be sure to checkout our website for previous episodes, our psych-approved resource page, and connect with us on social media!
