Bare Naked Moms

About Bare Naked Moms

As a parent, do you ever feel bare and naked? Totally unsure of what’s right or wrong, loaded up with experts’ tips and tricks yet still feeling lost, misunderstood, and (worst of all) alone? We do. Let’s talk. We’re Milano Buckley and Alanna Leavell, two moms of three and hosts of Bare Naked Moms—a weekly tell-it-like-it-is parenting roundtable of celebs, influencers, experts, and bold everyday carpoolers like us, taking on the messy, uncomfortable moments of modern family life that usually lie between the lines or out of bounds, but always leave us feeling like defenseless emperors without clothes. We believe that no matter how high-flying you are, at one point or another, you will get stuck in some patch of thorny, tick-infested parenting weeds. Whether you were born rich or poor, whether you had terrific parents or terrible parents, whether you know a lot or a little, whether everyone knows you or no one knows you, whether you’re black or white or green or red, whether you’re married to a woman or a man, whether you identify as He, She, or Furry…parenting doesn’t give a sh*t. It will come for you. And take all your clothes. Whether they come from Gucci, Walmart, or the hands of sheep-sheering monks. In each episode, we’ll roll up our sleeves for an honest, respectful rumble in which sticky stories and questions are swapped. Through that brave exchange, our hope is that everyone gains some relief and clarity—on how to find more peace, joy, connection, and humor in your lives as parents.

   Rush Hour: The New World of Sorority Recruitment (Leslie Cunningham)

   If you went through rush yourself, you probably remember the outfits, the nerves, the whispered politics. Now imagine watching your own daughter walk into that world — and discovering it’s gotten a whole lot more intense since you went to college. At some universities, thousands of young women compete for a handful of spots at the most coveted houses. The pressure has grown so much that a whole new industry has emerged: rush consultants, also known as rush coaches, hired by families who want to give their daughters every possible edge before bid day. We sat down with one of the most sought-after names in the business to pull back the curtain on how sorority recruitment really works today — and what parents can do to help. Leslie stumbled into this world the way most great businesses are born — by solving a real problem for a friend. After guiding that friend's daughter through the sorority recruitment process, she realized how badly families needed someone in their corner. She founded Sorority Prep in 2015 and has since built a reputation as the secret weapon for families all over the country navigating one of college life's most competitive processes. In this episode: 👉 Why sorority recruitment feels more competitive than ever. 👉 What a rush coach actually does. 👉 The do’s and don’ts of Rush Week. 👉 Why it can all be worth it/what sorority life offers. 👉 How Leslie parents her own children differently after doing this work. ======================== 📱Please fill out our end-of-season Feedback Form (https://tally.so/r/Xx26M4); we need your help to come back bigger and better! 📱Learn more about Sorority Prep (https://www.sororityprep.com/) and Leslie Cunningham (https://www.instagram.com/sororityprep101/). 📱Follow us: Instagram: @barenakedmoms (https://www.instagram.com/barenakedmoms/) YouTube: @BareNakedMoms (https://www.youtube.com/@BareNakedMoms)

Published 27 May 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] I'll be honest, this generation, the biggest factor of why they're not good at the face-to-face interaction is because of the phone. They are so great at texting. They're great at doing all of the things, but they are not great at making this connection. And so because of that, it is 90% of how they're selected to get into the sorority. And so if you can't overcome that part of it, it becomes very difficult. And peer to peer decisions are being made based on that interaction. And so it's, you know, half the time when girls are crying and very upset about why they weren't getting selected to go back to a sorority, it's very difficult to explain to them. […]
