Surprise! This is Motherhood, lol ft. Cameron Oaks Rogers
This week, I'm joined by Cameron Oakes Rogers (aka Freckled Foodie) for a conversation that felt less like a podcast and more like the group chat every new mom wishes she had.We talk about the parts of motherhood nobody really prepares you for: postpartum depression, intrusive thoughts, identity shifts, medical trauma, the shock of pregnancy, and the reality of bringing a baby home when e
Doing It Alone: Huda Mustafa on Single Motherhood, Fame, and Why You Get to Come First Too
Huda Mustafa is one of the most fun hangs I've had on the show. This week we get into all of it: becoming a mom young at 19 and single motherhood, the wild ride to fame, and what it's actually like to figure yourself out with the entire internet watching. It's honest and real — but mostly, it's just a blast.Then I open up The Group Chat to answer your questions about doing it alone in eve
Is Walking Away The Best Mom Move? ft. Hannah Bronfman
A few months postpartum with her daughter Claude, Hannah Bronfman folded a $40 million venture fund she'd spent two years raising. In this episode, she tells me exactly why, and the answer is not what I expected.We talk about what it means to walk away from something you spent two years on.

Why Emily Oster Breastfed When Her Data Says Formula Is Fine
If you read Crib Sheet during pregnancy or kept Expecting Better on your nightstand, you already know Emily Oster. She's the economist who reads the parenting studies the rest of us pretend to. The one who told a whole generation of women, with actual data, that we could relax about a lot of things we had been losing sleep over.I've been a fan for years. So when I got to sit down with her
7 Kids, 4 Baby Daddies, And One Of Them Lives Next Door, With The OG Teen Mom Kailyn Lowry
I have one baby. Kailyn Lowry has seven. So obviously the first thing I asked her was how the f*ck her body has done that.I've been a Kailyn girly since the original Teen Mom days, so sitting across from her felt like a full circle moment from my own MTV era. Bonus: within thirty seconds we'd figured out she was a Laguna girly too. Match made in heaven.Kailyn has been a person in public s
Dr. Becky On Why Becoming A Mom Isn't Actually About Your Baby
I cried in the back of an Uber after my first dinner out post-baby. I'd had one and a half martinis (a mistake), I'd left my husband at home with the baby (he was thrilled for me to go), and I felt so guilty I genuinely couldn't stop sobbing. Mom guilt, right? That's what we'd call it. Except according to Dr. Becky Kennedy, clinical psychologist, founder of Good Inside, and probably the m
Community Episode: The Part Before The Baby
Welcome to the first community episode of Tell Me I'm A Good Mom.I read hundreds of stories that came in through the Q+A form, and the theme I couldn't stop reading was the part of motherhood that happens years before the baby arrives. The IVF cycles. The miscarriages. The diagnoses that blindside you. The appointments where a doctor asks you a question you don't have the vocabulary for y
"I Thought I Was Going to Die" with Meaghan O'Connell
The day after I had the baby, I fainted in my hospital room. Blood pressure skyrocketing, doctors running in, a brain aneurysm fear I couldn't shake, a day-old baby at the foot of the bed. I was convinced that was how my story ended.It wasn't. And it turns out most new moms have some version of this story. Nobody warns us.This week I sit down with writer Meaghan O'Connell, author of And N
Childcare Costs HOW Much?! ft. Finance Expert Vivian Tu
The number that broke my brain wasn't the birth cost. It was the daycare quote.Vivian Tu, finance expert, Your Rich BFF, and New York Times bestselling author, came on to talk about the actual financial reality of becoming a parent — not the "start a 529" version you've heard a hundred times.The version where even financially stable people feel underwater in year one, and why that doesn't
The IVF Numbers Nobody Tells You: Egg Count, Embryo Odds & NAD+ Therapy w/ Dr. Sheeva Talebian
I went through three egg retrievals, an endo surgery, and one transfer to get my daughter. Here's everything I wish I'd known before I started.I sat down with Dr. Sheeva Talebian, reproductive endocrinologist at CCRM Fertility New York, to talk about what IVF actually looks like from the inside. The math nobody warns you about. The lifestyle changes that actually move the needle on egg qu
I'm Trapped in my Postpartum Body | Postpartum Recovery, Hormones, & Body Image
I'm 8 weeks postpartum and I'm not okay. Not in a crisis — but not in the version of this that gets posted online either. I'm in the messy, unglamorous, nobody-talks-about-this middle of it. And I wanted to put it on record, in real time, because I genuinely could not find content that showed me what this actually looks like when you're living it.I have a retained placenta. A large ovaria
I Was on Laguna Beach at 17. Being Pregnant Online Hits Different.
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
My Birth Story: What Nobody Prepared Me For
I had a plan. Birth had other ideas.I'm starting this podcast the only way that felt right — with the story that started everything. In this episode, I'm sharing the birth plan I made, the vaginal birth I hoped for, and the emergency C-section I didn't see coming. This is my birth trauma, my recovery, and the moment I realized motherhood was never going to go the way I expected.If your bi
Introducing: Tell Me I'm A Good Mom w/ Lo Bosworth
Pregnancy and motherhood come with pressure, opinions, and plenty of advice, but very few honest conversations about how it actually feels to be a mom. “Tell Me I’m a Good Mom” speaks to the pressure to get it right and the fear of being judged when we don’t. Through her own transition into motherhood, Lo Bosworth Natale explores the identity shift, expectations, emotional plot twists, an
