| 5/15/26 | ![]() 148. The Truth About Breastfeeding Pressure and Mom Guilt with Amber Ginn | Feeding a baby can feel like one of the most emotional and overwhelming parts of early motherhood. Between social media, conflicting advice, and the pressure to “do it right,” many moms are left feeling exhausted, guilty, and unsure of themselves. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Amber Ginn, board-certified lactation consultant, certified doula, and founder of The Latchlink. Amber became a mom at just 15 years old and now supports families across the country through her telehealth lactation ... | 32m 32s | ||||||

Homework Battles, Report Cards, and Real Solutions for Parents with Dr. Linda Silbert | Have you ever looked at your child’s report card and thought, “I know they’re capable of more… so what’s going on?” You’re not alone. So many parents are raising kind, hardworking kids who still struggle in school and it can feel confusing, frustrating, and even scary. In this episode of Burnt Pancakes: Momversations, I’m joined by Dr. Linda Silbert, an educational expert with more than 40 years of experience helping students who struggle with anxiety, ADHD, and learning differences like dysl... | 51m 38s | ||||||
| 5/1/26 | ![]() 146. If Your Days Feel Chaotic, You Need to Hear This... with Tanya Valentine | If you’ve ever created a routine on Sunday night only to abandon it by Wednesday morning, this episode is for you. 🙋♀️ We’re talking all about routines and why they matter, why they’re so hard to keep, and how to finally create systems that support you instead of stress you out. Because let’s be honest, most moms aren’t lacking motivation… they’re lacking routines that actually work for real life. I’m joined again by mom of three and life coach Tanya Valentine, and she’s breaking down the bi... | 33m 15s | ||||||
| 4/24/26 | ![]() 145. The Things Moms Do That Go Unnoticed | With Mother’s Day around the corner, this episode is a heartfelt celebration of moms in every stage of motherhood. After spending weeks watching a mama bird in my front yard tirelessly care for her baby birds, I couldn’t help but see the connection to motherhood. She worked all day, flying back and forth to feed her babies, staying close when one of them wandered too far, and constantly watching over them without recognition or applause. It made me reflect on the quiet, often unnoticed work t... | 22m 49s | ||||||
| 4/17/26 | ![]() 144. Parenting Moments That Make You Say “I Told You So” | Have you ever warned your kids about something… watched them ignore you… and then found yourself dealing with the exact disaster you predicted? Welcome to motherhood. In this episode of Burnt Pancakes: Momversations, I’m sharing a few classic “I told you so” moments from my own house, including the time Jett put putty in his hair after I specifically told him not to, and the time my boys decided to go ding dong ditching and ended up in trouble with the neighbors. At the time, I was furious. E... | 21m 52s | ||||||
| 4/10/26 | ![]() 143: Why I'm Calling This Stage "The Sweet Spot" | We are in the sweet spot of motherhood, that middle stage where the diapers are gone, the sleep is better, and the kids are becoming more independent… but they still think you’re cool and want you at their school performances. In this solo episode, I’m talking about life as a “middle mom” to kids who are 6, 8, and almost 12, the stage where motherhood feels a little lighter, a little freer, and honestly, a lot more fun. It’s the season where they can buckle themselves into the car, tell actua... | 25m 03s | ||||||
| 4/3/26 | ![]() 142: Mom Guilt, Perfectionism, and the Pressure to Get It Right with Jennifer Teplin | Motherhood changes everything — not just our schedules and responsibilities, but also how we see ourselves. In this episode, I’m joined by psychotherapist Jennifer Teplin, LCSW, founder of Manhattan Wellness and mom of three. Jennifer spends her days working with women who are navigating the emotional side of motherhood; the identity shifts, the overwhelm, the guilt, and the pressure so many moms feel to “do it right.” In our conversation, we talk about the internal experience of motherhood a... | 43m 37s | ||||||
| 3/27/26 | ![]() 141: Honest Conversation about Stay-at-Home Mom Life and Working Mom Life | In this episode I'm having a real and honest conversation about something that often gets quietly debated in motherhood: the pros and cons of being a stay-at-home mom versus being a working mom. So many moms feel pressure to defend their choice or explain why their path is the “right” one. But the truth is, there isn’t one right way to do motherhood. Every family is different, every season looks different, and every decision comes with both beautiful rewards and real challenges. I shares my o... | 29m 32s | ||||||

Jodie brings such an honest and re... | 48m 57s | ||||||

A recent national poll found that 80% of parents with children ages 0–4 are turning to social media for advice on things like toilet training, sleep struggles, discipline, and nutrition. But instead of feeling more confident, many parents say they feel more confused.

Postpartum Truths: What New Moms Really Need with Courtney Boylan | Postpartum is one of the most life-altering seasons of motherhood, and yet it is often one of the most overlooked. In today’s episode I’m joined by Courtney Boylan, mom of three and founder of Le Lolo, a brand created from her own postpartum experience and the deep realization that so many moms are left feeling unseen, unsupported, and treated more like a checklist than a human being. Courtney and I talk about the emotional reality of postpartum, the identity shift that happens after birth, a... | 29m 01s | ||||||

You’re not alone — and you’re not a bad mom. In this episode I break down intrusive thoughts in motherhood: why they happen, what they actually mean (and don’t mean), and how they show up in different stages — from brand-new moms to moms of teens.

Why 80s and 90s Kids Had the Best Childhoods (and the Best TV Shows) | If you grew up in the 80s or 90s, this episode is basically a warm hug made of slap bracelets, Lisa Frank stickers, and the smell of a Blockbuster on a Friday night. In this episode, I’m taking a little trip down memory lane to celebrate the absolute best childhood decades — the 80s and 90s. Back when we played outside until the streetlights came on, drank from the garden hose, and somehow survived toys that were equal parts fun and dangerous. Remember when TGIF was the highlight of the week?... | 15m 37s | ||||||
