Motherish

We’re back with a new episode of Motherish, and this week we’re joined by Dr. Priyanka Chopra, a functional and internal medicine physician and founder of Nivaan Health. We’re talking about functional medicine, preventative care and why moms need to make their own health a priority. So often, we wait until something feels wrong before we see a doctor, rather than building a relationship with a physician who knows us, understands our history and can help us be proactive about our health. Dr. Chopra shares why advocating for yourself matters, how to ask better questions and why finding a doctor who aligns with your values can make all the difference. Because taking care of everyone else starts with making sure we’re taking care of ourselves, too.

Last night we watched "GOAT" and immediately looked at each other like… yeah, this one hits. In this episode, we talk about why this movie stayed with us. It is fun, fast and completely entertaining for kids, but underneath it is really about believing in your child before the world does. We get into the power of the words we say, the fear we sometimes project onto our kids and what it means to truly let them try. The film features a standout cast including Caleb McLaughlin and his Stranger Things co-star David Harbour, alongside Gabrielle Union, Aaron Pierre, Nicola Coughlan and Nick Kroll. NBA champion Stephen Curry, Ayesha Curry, Dwyane Wade and WNBA stars Angel Reese and A’ja Wilson also lend their voices, bringing real star power to Will’s underdog journey. From loose teeth and Tooth Fairy drama to big dreams like the Great Wall of China, this conversation turned into something deeper than we expected. "GOAT" is in theaters now and it is such a good pick for a full family movie night.

This week on Motherish, we’re taking a moment to look back on five years of laughs, lessons, and yes… plenty of late-night recordings. From how far we’ve come to what we’ve learned along the way, this episode is all about reflection and gratitude. We’re also talking about what’s ahead: holiday break plans, how we’re choosing to recharge and reset, and why rest (and guilt-free naps) are non-negotiable this season. Consider this your permission slip to slow down right alongside us.

This week on Motherish, we’re calling out the curated chaos of performative mom culture: the pressure to look perfect, patient, and pulled-together while we’re actually surviving on caffeine and vibes. We break down how social media shapes our expectations, why it messes with our confidence, and what it really means to be authentic in motherhood. A reminder we all need: the mess is real… and so is the magic.
