A podcast by, for, and about moms and those who love them.
This is a show devoted to calling out the idealism and perfection that our society places on mothers, while also discussing the often taboo topics that come with transitioning into motherhood. It's time for us to stop beating around the bush or hiding our struggles so that we can be seen, heard, and way less alone. There's no one right way to be a mother, there is only YOUR right way. Join me, Alissa Alter | women's health expert & motherhood advocate to share our stories, let go of mythical expectations, and write our own rules. Also-- can we all agree that showering, going to the bathroom, and being by yourself are NOT luxuries, but basic needs for us to not only survive, but thrive? I think it's time.

Walking the Walk: Why Vulnerability is the Secret to Your Next Level
High-achieving women are often told to keep it together, never fail, and always perform at the highest level. But what if the very thing you’re trying to hide — your humanity — is exactly what will unlock your next level of success?
In this episode, I get real about what it means to walk the walk in my own life. From starting piano lessons again after 30+ years (yes, I’m a true beginner!) to sending out queries to literary agents for my book, I’m putting myself in positions where judgment, rejection, and vulnerability are inevitable.
And guess what? It feels exhilarating. Because the truth is: you cannot expand, grow, or get what you deeply want without risking vulnerability.
If you’ve ever felt like you can’t afford to fail… this episode is for you.
I’ll share what I’m learning as I embrace beginner’s mind and risk rejection — and why you’ll never regret betting on yourself.
Because vulnerability isn’t weakness. Vulnerability is leadership. And it’s the key to building the life, career, and relationships you’re craving.
