    The CEO Manual: Running a Company While Raising Toddlers
    Feb 17 2026
    In this episode of ItMom, I sit down with Rachel Ostro, CEO of Valeria Inc. and Creator Method, who is currently pregnant with her third child while raising two toddlers and running two multimillion dollar businesses. And naturally… I had questions. How does she structure her days, weeks, months? What does support actually look like in her home? How does she stay present as a mom while leading at such a high level? Rachel shares the real systems she uses to create structure in what can feel like chaos, from calendar boundaries to delegation, outsourcing and mindset shifts that have helped her stay grounded in both motherhood and leadership.

  • I Wasn’t Just a Mom Anymore: I Became a Medical One

    I Wasn’t Just a Mom Anymore: I Became a Medical One
    Feb 10 2026
    In this deeply moving episode of ItMom, I’m joined by Alana Kayfetz, a mother of four, business coach, and medical mom, who shares her honest and vulnerable journey through a version of motherhood few are prepared for. Alana opens up about becoming a medicalized mom when her third child, Henry, was born with a rare genetic condition. She takes us behind the scenes of navigating hospital stays, therapies, and constant uncertainty, while still showing up for her other children, her marriage, and herself. We talk about what it means to raise a large family while caring for a medically fragile child, the emotional weight of everyday decisions, and the deeply personal choice to welcome a fourth baby in the midst of it all. This conversation is about grief and joy coexisting, about strength that isn’t loud, and about redefining what it means to be a “good mother” when the rules no longer apply. This episode is for any mom who has ever felt stretched between love and fear, responsibility and longing—and who needs to hear that she is not alone. ✨ Here, it’s all about you. 👉 If this episode resonates, please follow the show, leave a review, and share it with a mom who needs to hear it.

  • Motherhood Shattered My Identity In The Most Unexpected Way

    Motherhood Shattered My Identity In The Most Unexpected Way
    Jan 27 2026

    Niki shares her personal motherhood story and what it truly looked like to reconnect with who she was after becoming a mother. Together, we explore how our upbringing shapes us, and sometimes limits us, how fear can quietly keep us stuck, and why motherhood isn’t about evolving into a completely new version of ourselves, but rather about remembering who we’ve always been beneath expectations, conditioning, and roles.

    If you’ve ever felt lost after motherhood, afraid to trust your instincts, or unsure how to reconnect with your identity beyond being “mom,” this episode is for you.

  • The One Word Rule: How Simplifying My Goals Changed My Entire Life

    The One Word Rule: How Simplifying My Goals Changed My Entire Life
    Jan 20 2026
    Five years ago, I stopped making New Year’s resolutions and chasing long goal lists. Instead, I started following The One Word Rule, a simple but powerful way of focusing on one core intention or one meaningful area of my life at a time. This shift didn’t just help me avoid the familiar disappointment at the end of each year. It helped me recognize how often I was unconsciously setting myself up for failure by trying to improve every area of my life all at once. By simplifying my focus, I created real momentum, and in under five years, I completely turned my life around. In this solo episode, I share my personal take on goal setting, why traditional methods never worked for me, and how I created and applied The One Word Rule to build the life I’m living today. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by a long list of resolutions or pressure to “do it all” this year, this episode might be exactly what you need. ✨ Here, it’s all about you. 👉 If this episode resonates, please follow the show, leave a review, and share it with a mom who needs to hear it.

  • You Don’t Get Your Old Body Back, You Build a New One

    You Don’t Get Your Old Body Back, You Build a New One
    Dec 30 2025
    In this episode of ItMom, I sit down with Elena to talk honestly about what happens to your body and mind after becoming a mother. The truth no one really prepares you for is that you don’t get your old body back, but you do get the chance to build a new one. Elena shares her journey navigating motherhood, mental health, and emotional regulation, and how movement and wellness became a form of support rather than punishment. We talk about working out for mental health, not aesthetics, using movement to regulate stress and anxiety, and releasing the pressure to “bounce back” to who you once were. This conversation is about rebuilding with compassion, creating routines that support your nervous system, and redefining strength in a season where everything changes. If you’ve ever struggled to recognize yourself after motherhood or felt conflicted about fitness and body image, this episode is for you. ✨ Here, it’s all about you. 👉 If this episode resonates, please follow the show, leave a review, and share it with a mom who needs to hear it.

  • Presence Over Performance: Rewriting the Narrative of Modern Motherhood

    Presence Over Performance: Rewriting the Narrative of Modern Motherhood
    Dec 16 2025
    In this special episode of ItMom, the roles are reversed as I step into the guest seat and am interviewed by Courtney. Together, we explore the shift from hustle and girlboss culture toward a more intentional, presence-led way of living and mothering. We talk openly about the privilege of pausing, what it means to step back in a society that glorifies constant productivity, and how allowing myself to slow down reshaped my identity as a mother and as a woman. This conversation unpacks the quiet pressure many women carry to always perform, achieve, and prove, even during the most vulnerable seasons of life. This episode is an invitation to question the narratives we’ve inherited, to redefine success on our own terms, and to embrace presence as a powerful and radical choice. ✨ Here, it’s all about you. 👉 If this episode resonates, please follow the show, leave a review, and share it with a mom who needs to hear it.

    Between Two Worlds: Motherhood, Identity & Belonging
    Dec 9 2025
    In this episode of ItMom, I sit down with Courtney, a mixed Black and white woman and a mother of two, who grew up in a white family in a predominantly white neighborhood and had to navigate social assumptions and disapproval from both sides. Courtney opens up about her childhood and how those experiences shaped her as a mother, bringing a unique and deeply personal cultural perspective into motherhood. While these topics can feel heavy, this ended up being one of the most fun, lighthearted, and laughter-filled conversations I’ve had on the podcast. This is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt like they don’t quite belong. ✨ Here, it’s all about you. 👉 If this episode resonates, please follow the show, leave a review, and share it with a mom who needs to hear it.

    Love in the Chaos: Keeping Romance Alive With Three Kids
    Nov 20 2025
    In this episode, I sit down with Albert and Oksana, a blended family of five, to talk about love, parenting, and partnership. Albert met Oksana when she was already a mom of two, and stepping into that dynamic meant learning a whole new rhythm, a whole new parenting style, and a whole new version of himself. Together, they’ve built a home where communication, playfulness, and romance coexist with the beautiful chaos of raising three kids. Their story is honest, tender, and a powerful reminder that love isn’t about perfection, it’s about choosing each other, every single day. ✨ Here, it’s all about you. 👉 If this episode resonates, please follow the show, leave a review, and share it with a mom who needs to hear it.
