Between home life, playing Mom Uber and just basic adulting, you could be surrounded by 6 kids, always be with another soul and still feel lonely.
Sometimes, all you need to hear is a "Ugh. Yes, same here" from a fellow mom or read about her own struggles with her own kids to feel less alone.
Motherhood can make you feel isolated. And in this, ironically enough, you are not alone. Each week I have candid conversations with my favorite moms about work, raising kids and life at home.
1 in 4 women will miscarry a pregnancy. It’s so common you probably know someone who has lost a pregnancy to miscarriage or have experienced it yourself. And, if you’re thinking, “Hmm…actually, I don’t know anyone who has miscarried” it might be because we don’t really talk about it.
Today’s guest, Clarissa Peppers, opens up about her very easy leap into motherhood but how carrying a second child to term was fraught with loss, confusion and anxiety. In the years between welcoming her eldest son, Rivers into the world, Clarissa and her husband, Nick, suffered 3 miscarriages before finally completing their family with a second son, Remy.
We talk about the emotional toll miscarriage and recurrent miscarriage can take on one’s physical and emotional health, how it can affect your relationship with your partner or spouse and why it is important to bring these things to light. How we need to allow more women to feel held and supported during a time where they may feel very isolated, first, afraid to share the joy of being pregnant and then the quiet suffering that comes with an early loss.

It's Like the Babysitter's Club...But For Doulas
I think that, once you become a parent, that new role bleeds into every other part of your life. It informs your choices, your actions and it is nearly impossible to separate your role as “mom” from every other hat that you wear in your life.
Since I started this podcast and have had the privilege of speaking with all of my amazing guests, I have found that the ties that unite us as mothers transcend race, culture, economic status, geography…there are very real threads that bind us in this exclusive club. And one of those, I am recognizing, is how each of us pulls from our learnings as mothers and feels called to funnel that into our work both the 9 to 5 variety as well as work of the capital W variety.
For today’s guest, Emily, becoming a mother and the first year of motherhood with her infant daughter, sent her on a personal growth journey and down a career path that was never on her radar.
Tune in to today’s episode to hear Emily’s story of how she went from educator to mom to postpartum doula to running her own local doula agency here in Cincinnati and how her experience with postpartum depression was the catalyst that brought her to where she is today.

Rachel Brown is on a mission. When I was connected to her through a mutual friend, I was immediately intrigued by her diverse work history and how her relentless hustle and desire for knowledge has shifted since becoming a mother.
It seems that Rachel has always looked to carve an alternative path and has found it even more important to her as she looks to balance her desire to be as present and available as possible for her young daughter, Frankie, but also in pursuing entrepreneurship as a practitioner of Thai Yoga Massage, Microblading and trying to build a female owned and operated wellness and beauty business.
And, while Rachel now feels like she has found her place in how she grows internally through work and educational endeavors, another big piece of defining herself in the face of motherhood is how she presents to the world on the outside. Despite how you dress or wear your hair before kids, often, when we become mothers, we feel the need to soften or tone down our appearance to look more like a mom. But is it necessary?
