  • The Effortless Mom Myth: An Honest Convo on Breastfeeding, Pumping & More!

    The Effortless Mom Myth: An Honest Convo on Breastfeeding, Pumping & More!
    Aug 23 2026

    August is National Breastfeeding Month, and to celebrate, we have a specialty episode just for you! Breastfeeding can be one of the more challenging parts of early motherhood, and one that many new moms don't think about until they're in the thick of it. It's supposed to come naturally after all, right?

    This week, Sarah brings together three moms from her inner circle to share their very different feeding journeys. From breastfeeding to pumping to formula feeding (or some combination of all three) we talk tips and tricks, mistakes made, lessons learned, expectations vs. reality, and ALL the things we wish we had known before we started!

    Big thank you to our guests this Week!

  • The System is Broken! Why American Motherhood Is So Hard (and How To Fix It) with Reshma Saujani

    The System is Broken! Why American Motherhood Is So Hard (and How To Fix It) with Reshma Saujani
    Aug 10 2026
    This week, Sarah sits down with Reshma Saujani—New York Times bestselling author, founder of Girls Who Code, and the founder of Moms First! Inspired by Reshma's new documentary No Country for Mothers, this episode explores why motherhood in America can feel uniquely difficult. From the crushing cost of childcare and the lack of paid family leave to the impossible expectations placed on modern moms, Reshma makes the case that the challenges so many mothers blame themselves for are actually the result of a broken system—not personal failure.In this episode, we cover:Why motherhood in America feels so uniquely difficultHow the childcare crisis and lack of paid leave affect every familyThe "momcession" and why mothers are leaving the workforceHow culture wars distract us from real solutionsWhy motherhood is a public policy issue—not an individual failureWhat Moms First is doing to create change, and how you can get involvedThis is such an important discussion!
