  • Why You Don’t Have to Disappear to Be a Good Mom
    Jan 19 2026

    This episode is a real reintroduction to Paulina Roe and the why behind The Mami Collective, without the highlight reel. Paulina shares the fear she had becoming a mom, the pressure to “tone it down,” and the truth she wishes someone said sooner: you don’t have to disappear to be a good mom.

    If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting more, worried you’d lose yourself in motherhood, or found yourself shrinking to fit what people expect, this one is for you. Paulina breaks down what this community was built for, what you’ve created together, and where The Mami Collective is headed next: more intentional rooms, deeper connection, and programming that actually supports moms building real lives.

    Because you’re allowed to want both, and you don’t have to do it alone.

  • Dating After Kids: Why Doing the Work Changes Everything with Bela Gandhi
    Jan 12 2026

    There’s a narrative that motherhood makes dating harder, lonelier, or impossible. Bela Gandhi is here to shut that down.

    In this episode, Paulina and dating coach Bela Gandhi unpack what dating actually looks like after kid-from single moms navigating the apps to married couples trying to stay emotionally connected in the chaos of real life.

    They talk about pacing relationships, why dating funnels matter, how to protect your time as a parent, and the red flags moms should stop ignoring. Plus: why long-term love isn’t about fireworks—it’s about showing up.

    Inside this episode:

    • Why dating apps aren’t the enemy (and how to use them wisely)
    • How single moms should pace new relationships
    • When kids should meet a new partner (and why waiting matters)
    • The truth about guilt, grief, and starting over
    • How emotional safety fuels intimacy in marriage

    Honest, practical, and deeply validating-this episode is for moms who want partnership without settling.
