In this episode, I'm sitting down with Dr. Lilit, an esteemed clinical psychologist specializing in maternal mental health, helping working mothers navigate the emotional shifts of postpartum and career transitions. She has been featured in Good Housekeeping, Real Simple, and other top outlets, and has appeared on Everything is the Best. While I'm not a mom yet and haven't experienced this myself….I hope to be soon and am conscious about what an intense (yet wonderful) shift entering motherhood can be. I've had so many conversations with friends, colleagues and my mom about how challenging it can be to navigate motherhood, the unique pressures that are placed on women, and how your identity starts to shift. Dr. Lillit and I talk about the messy and beautiful transition into this new role—how it can feel overwhelming, emotional, and like no one really prepares you for it. Dr. Lillit shares her own experiences navigating postpartum, how she supports her clients through the guilt, chaos, and wonders of motherhood, and why knowing yourself is the foundation for everything. Why the transition to motherhood often feels messy and chaotic The delicate balance of being the “best mom” and still investing in yourself What working moms are really struggling with (hint: it's not just time) The power of inner work—and how to begin, even if you already have kids How to build an intentional support system and village The realities of “mom guilt,” identity loss, and people-pleasing in parenting Ways partners can better support new moms (that don't involve fixing) How to redefine balance, presence, and what “having it all” actually means What I loved most about this conversation was the emphasis she places on intentional inner work, awareness, really knowing yourself so you can show up as your best self for your family. Whether you're preparing for motherhood, in the thick of postpartum, have older children or are supporting someone who is, this episode brings light to the emotional, mental, and societal pressures moms navigate every day.

Today's Dear DSO submission is from a neurodivergent man—he's got ADHD, a lot of anxiety, and not much dating experience. He feels like he's defective, like he'll never figure out how to talk to women or attract them. He sent in a long list of brutally honest questions:“How do I feel confident when women have all the power?”“How do I not look needy just by showing interest?”“Do normal guys really know what they're doing?”This one hit hard, and I think a lot of men—especially autistic or ADHD guys—are going to relate.In this video, I break down where these feelings of shame come from, why experience and repetition are more powerful than any pickup advice, and how to start small and work your way up. This isn't about fake confidence. This is about getting real, falling on your face, and standing back up.

Growing up in a Latino household, real conversations about sex often felt one-sided—or didn’t happen at all. In this special episode, Dramos opens up about how that silence made it harder to talk openly with friends and partners about sex, intimacy, and boundaries.

Dramos also shares why learning to be vulnerable with peers and partners is so important for sexual health and building real trust.

“I'm afraid to ask for an extension. I don't want my editor to hate me.” I hear some version of this at least once a week in author communities, and it makes sense that it's a common fear! We care so much about our books (and the future of our careers) that we can become hyper-vigilant to anything that might get in the way of potential success. But! Your editor does not hate you. I promise. In today's episode, I'm sharing 3 useful reframes that will help you let go of that fear the next time it pops up. *** The publishing industry is hard.

In this vulnerable and unfiltered episode, I sit down with my mom to talk about something many women go through, but few talk about openly: midlife weight gain, hormonal changes, and starting a GLP-1. After gaining 55 pounds with no major lifestyle changes and struggling with symptoms like fatigue, hot flashes, anxiety, and loss of muscle, my mom found herself at a health crossroads. We walk through the emotional and physical toll this took, her experience going off hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and what finally led her to try tirzepatide (a GLP-1 medication similar to Ozempic). This episode isn't just about weight loss, it's about reclaiming your life, making empowered health choices, and what happens when you start advocating for your own wellness. We also talk anxiety, alcohol, sleep, family dynamics, and yes, why my mom is already seeing mental clarity within days of her first dose. If your mom (or you!) is silently dealing with hormone chaos, frustrating weight gain, or health confusion, this episode will make you feel seen, supported, and informed. 00:00 Life updates, small talk & avocado toast inflation 04:00 My mom's health scare & going off HRT 07:00 Symptoms spiral after stopping hormone therapy 10:00 Shocking lab results: cholesterol, blood sugar & hormone crash 12:00 The decision to start tirzepatide (Ozempic-like medication) 15:00 What happened after her first dose (mental clarity, food noise, no cravings) 18:00 My evolving opinion on Ozempic 20:00 Women's hormones are misunderstood—here's what we've learned 24:00 Monitoring with InBody scans, strength training, and muscle preservation 27:00 Our honest feelings on weight, lifestyle changes & identity 33:00 Why I might never drink alcohol again (full breakdown) 44:00 10 facts that made me rethink alcohol for good 48:00 Newsletter updates & book recs from my mom 54:00 What we're reading this summer 56:00 Travel talk & life reflections 59:00 Wrapping up + dinner's ready!

In this episode, I'm joined by Molly Rubesh—certified life coach, author, and creator of The Modern Marriage Blueprint. Molly brings a grounded, refreshingly honest perspective to love, marriage, and everything in between. A former corporate leader turned coach, Molly now helps individuals and couples heal old patterns, strengthen emotional intimacy, and build marriages rooted in truth, clarity, and conscious choice. We dive deep into the real side of partnership—what it takes to grow together, how to have the hard conversations, and why things like pre-nups and practical planning deserve just as much attention as romance. Whether you're calling in a relationship, healing from one, or deepening the one you're in, this conversation offers insights that are both emotionally and strategically empowering.
