I Was on Laguna Beach at 17. Being Pregnant Online Hits Different.

About this episode

Lo Bosworth Natale discusses her experiences with pregnancy and sharing her journey online, reflecting on her past in reality TV and the cultural implications of sharing personal moments.

I've been sharing my life publicly since I was 17 — first on Laguna Beach, then The Hills, then a decade of building Love Wellness by being honest about my body and my health. So when I got pregnant, keeping it private was never really the question. And I get into my TV origin story on today's episode.. But being pregnant online is different. This episode is part manifesto, part cultural riff on why the instinct to share a moment this big has always existed — long before the internet gave it a new address. I get into my own fertility journey, the IVF and endometriosis surgery that I think actually got me here, and the women online whose stories gave me language for things I didn't know how to name yet. And the question every modern parent is quietly wrestling with: what's actually okay to share about your kid? No agenda. No lectures. Just honest conversation. —————————————————— Tell Me I'm a Good Mom — new episodes every Wednesday hosted by Lo Bosworth Natale — first time mom and CEO of Love Wellness —   Subscribe:   / @lobosworth    Newsletter:  https://substack.com/@lobosworth   Love Wellness:  https://lovewellness.com…
