Welcome to Manic MOMdays with Stefanie Fair! You may recognize Stefanie from her long list of acting and hosting credits, the 90's girl group, 'Wild Orchid' or even from Bravo's "There Goes The Motherhood." Stefanie is a mother of 4 and a self proclaimed "Manic Mom"! Listen each week as she laughs, cries and navigates motherhood. Stefanie interviews some of her favorite people and discusses a variety of compelling topics. Mom or not, you will relate! Life doesn't come with a manual, it comes with a mom.

I have a new mom friend! Her name is Beth Bowen and we were destined to meet. I first heard about Beth from my friend Stefanie Fair when she was on my podcast a few years ago. Stefanie suggested I reach out to Beth at that time to have her on my show but I dropped the ball and it fell through the cracks. Cut to a year and a half later and Beth and I were invited to speak on a panel at Influential Summit in Carlsbad where we bonded over our love/hate relationship with social media and the entertainment industry. Beth came to Hollywood to pursue a career in acting. She had success but ultimately ended up marrying someone she thought was her prince charming and leaving it all behind. More than a decade later she found herself missing something inside that many women think is over when they become moms: her career. I've said this a thousand times on this show and I'll say it again: wanting a career and being a mom do not have to be mutually exclusive. It's okay to want to work and build a business or life outside of the home in the same way that it's okay NOT to want to pursue a career and be a homemaker instead. Both are perfectly normal and healthy options and we should support our friends and the women in our lives no matter what they choose. While exploring her options to return to showbiz, Beth was introduced to Jill Spivack from Sleepy Planet. Jill was working on a show for Bravo called "There Goes The Motherhood" about a support group for moms. Well, you know if it's Bravo there will be drama no matter how well-intentioned the women on the show are. Beth talks about how she feels the producers really set her up to fail in some ways and pitted cast members against each other. Does this sound like something Bravo would do? Any Housewives fans know exactly what we're talking about. You'll have to listen to this episode to get the full dish on working in reality TV and why she thinks her show was cancelled after one season. A painting called "The End" by Beth Bowen Now Beth is a divorced, single mom of four who's trying to reinvent herself while pursuing her passion. These days you can find her in her art studio creating and painting and finding success. She was just asked to show her art at the Contemporary Art Fair in Carrousel du Louvre Paris during the Cannes Film Festival which is a huge honor. She says sharing something so personal can be a challenge, but not as challenging as being a Bravo star. You can follow Beth Bowen on her personal Instagram and her Instagram art feed as well.

I was nervous to meet Stefanie Fair. She's a gorgeous, successful, talented mama of four who's been in the entertainment business since she was a young girl. Truthfully, I was a little afraid she'd think I'm a total dork and I sooooo wanted her to think I'm cool.  But when she came into my home and greeted me with the warmest hug ever, I new within minutes we would be friends. She was warm, funny, and very open about her experiences with motherhood and music and all of my nerves quickly disappeared. Stefanie has a unique perspective on the biz. She's a former child star with credits like The Golden Girls, My Two Dads, Punky Brewster and Blossom. She was also 1/3 of the 90's pop group Wild Orchid with Stacy Ferguson (Fergie!) and Renee Sandstrom.  And she totally upped the awesome ante when she told me she toured with all those 90's boy bands like 98 Degrees, 'N Sync and The Backstreet Boys. Um, hi, my teen years called and they would like to swap lives with you. Wild Orchid: Stefanie Fair (left) Stacy Ferguson (center) Renee Sandstrom (right) But despite being surrounded by so many singers who would go on to become huge stars, Stefanie admits Wild Orchid never quite reached the level of stardom she had hoped. Call it the nature of the music biz, or just bad luck, but these women worked their butts off and still struggled to get record deals. She also tells me stories about going on tour and being grateful there was no social media at the time to document their every move. Could you imagine if Instagram existed when you were a teen?  I die.     She also recently starred in Bravo's There Goes The Motherhood about an exclusive mommy support group for Hollywood moms. I asked her about the backlash she received after the door locking situation blew up on TGTM. She came under fire after admitting on the show that she locks her kids doors at night when they go to bed. You'll have to hear the explanation for yourself. Let's just say, not everything is as it appears on reality TV and I love that she lifts the veil for us. We also discussed: Her transition from child actress to pop music star What it was like working with Fergie when she was known as Stacy Ferguson Why she chose having a family instead of pursuing music full time What projects she has coming up next What she thinks about the state of music today How she "keeps it hot" for her husband and why she thinks it's necessary Her love for songwriting The Fair Family I think my favorite part of getting to know Stefanie is seeing how much she clearly adores her four kids and the family she and her husband, mega music producer Ron Fair, have created. And despite the allure and glamour of the music business, she's a pretty typical mom. She takes her kids to school, has play dates, and swim parties just like the rest of us and looks amazing doing it. Mom goals, people. Mom goals. You can follow Stefanie on Instagram here, or on Twitter here. And don't forget to subscribe to Motherhood in Hollywood on iTunes and leave a review!

Elizabeth and Vanessa dive right on into the pool of listener's fantastic questions! They give their unqualified advice on how to be there for a best friend who is becoming a mom, whether to invest in new friendships in your new neighborhood or keep up with your older mom friendships, what to say to a friend who hasn't been supportive of you but has also been focused on new motherhood, what's the deal with the bravo show, There Goes The Motherhood, how to playdates work when the babies can't yet really "play", how to avoid not feeling heard regarding latching problems with your second baby as you were with your first, what are the rules with baby names that sound close to friends' kid's names, and how to navigate time with an older cousin who is potentially a bad influence? Enjoy!

It's Cinco De Mayo, and we're celebrating by making fun of our favorite Bravo stars. First we open the Bravo Mailbag and unleash some crazy scenarios involving "Carrie," "Frozen," and mall food. Then it's on to "Real Housewives of New York" as Bethenny makes mincemeat of Jules and LuAnn and whoever else gets in her way. We then discuss "Here Comes The Motherhood" briefly before moving on to the premiere of "Below Deck: Mediterranean." Finally, we wrap up with part III of the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" reunion. Fun times!

What if your mom-life were a reality series?! Award-winning parenting expert Jill Spivack and mom-guests Stefanie Fair and Meghan Conroy-Resich share it all on the new Bravo docu-series "There Goes the Motherhood" following six very different mamas in an eight week parenting group. In this funny, provocative, and honest podcast, we talk about how to "kid-proof our marriage", what we're willing to share of our children on social media (or on tv), and how we can find our own unique identity as parents regardless of societal pressures and family legacy.
