In this episode, I sit down with Eve Rodsky, creator, founder, and author of Fair Play: a life-management and household organization system. Eve and I discuss her feminist upbringing and how her experiences in the corporate world were inhospitable to motherhood, how she created the Fair Play system and why a “blueberry text” from her husband was the catalyst, and why it’s essential to change from the reactive to the systematic when implementing change. Eve talks about the burden of invisible work that women so often take upon themselves in the home, she explains how the Fair Play cards work, and we discuss listener feedback on the most difficult parts of the mental load. Finally, we talk about why it’s so hard to have these conversations with our partners, what defines a “unicorn space” versus other types of fun, and why it is essential for our happiness and longevity to create “I can’t fucking believe I just did that” moments in our lives.

Key Takeaway / Points:

• On “Fair Play,” Eve’s life-management and household organization method

• On the goal of being consistently interested in your own life
• Why “hobbies” are not serving us
• The “blueberry text” that led to Eve creating the Fair Play system
• On changing from the reactive to the systematic
• On invisible work and “The Shit I Do” spreadsheet
• A deep dive into how the Fair Play cards work
• Listener feedback on the most difficult parts of the mental load
• Why it’s so difficult to have these conversations
• Why society views women’s time as infinite
• On the sanctity of “unicorn space”
• On creating “I can’t fucking believe I just did that” moments for yourself

In this solo episode, I unpack how both of my postpartum experiences have differed, from my relationships with anxiety and depression; to my fixation on controlling outcomes; to how I have prioritized self care and developed mental health toolkits for myself.

I then share my second and most recent postpartum experience, from dealing with sleep issues with both children; to feeling mentally stronger; to letting go of how things “should be” and embracing them for what they are. Finally, I share what I wish I had started earlier during postpartum, and what I would tell myself as a first-time mother experiencing both the highs and lows of postpartum.

In this episode, I sit down with my two friends and fellow mothers, Mandi and Lindsey, to discuss how we’re all doing in postpartum, how we became friends in the first place, and how we’ve supported each other through pregnancy, breastfeeding, and everything in between. We share why our husbands had to force us to be friends at first, how we are each others’ champions vs. cheerleaders, and how our second postpartum experiences have differed from our firsts – from our bodies, to our work, to our mental health. We also talk about why Lindsey decided to stop breastfeeding and how she went about it, what we love about having two children and what’s been the most challenging, how we’ve been working through the “roommates” phase with our husbands, and so much more.

Key Takeaway / Points:

• Why our husbands had to force us to be friends
• Why Lindsey and Mandi were not excited about making new friends at first
• On all of us being pregnant at the same time
• On being each others’ champions vs. cheerleaders with parenting
• How our second postpartum experiences have differed from our firsts, from our bodies, to our work, to our mental health
• On Lindsey deciding to stop breastfeeding and how she went about it

• On working through the “roommates phase” with your husband

In this solo episode, I celebrate my two year anniversary of being alcohol-free with a deep dive into my decision to stop drinking, my background with alcohol growing up, and where I stand now on this decision that started out as a temporary experiment. I share how I suspected I didn’t enjoy drinking in college and post-college years like other people, how the effects of alcohol changed after my concussion, and why I felt angry and disempowered when I couldn’t drink after my accident. I also talk about how I moved from a disempowered choice to an empowered choice, why being hungover as a parent was a game changer for my decision, and how I have discovered an inner confidence and self-trust I didn’t have before. Finally, I answer listener questions like whether I ever miss drinking, how alcohol affects my mental health versus other substances, how I navigate events with friends and being around people who are drinking, and much more.

Key Takeaway / Points:

• My upbringing with alcohol and experience drinking in college
• Feeling like I didn’t enjoy alcohol as much as everyone else
• On implementing Sober Mondays into my routine
• On the effects of alcohol changing after my concussion
• On moving from feeling disempowered to making an empowered decision to stop drinking
• On the gamechanger of being hungover as a parent
• On finding inner confidence and self-trust from this decision
• On whether I miss drinking
• On not drawing the line in the sand for future decisions
• How alcohol affects my mental health differently than other substances
• What I order when out with friends
• How to navigate events like bachelorette parties when not drinking
• On people pressuring you to drink and examining those relationships

In this solo episode, I dive into how I’ve been feeling so far in postpartum, how our holiday and New Year went as a family of four, and what I’m hoping for moving into 2024. I discuss how our current sleep/feeding schedule is going with our newborn and where I’m at mentally right now, what I’m excited to explore on the podcast this year, and how it’s still impossible for me to wrap my head around being an adult. I also share why I’ve decided to stop breastfeeding and how freeing that decision has been, and how I’m digesting feelings of resentment, disconnect, and protectiveness as a mother. I also share why the newborn phase has not been a favorite of mine this time around, why comparing baby experiences is so unhelpful, and how I’m moving into this year at my own pace and not succumbing to social media pressure.

In this episode, I sit down with Superhuman App creator Mimi Bouchard to discuss all things visualization and the power of intentional thinking. Mimi shares her trajectory over the past ten years and how she became passionate about personal development, how what she calls the “what if” pull guided her towards her true potential, and why perfection is a fallacy and your bounce-back rate is much more important.

In this solo episode, I make a brief comeback from maternity leave to give a full update on the craziness that has happened in the last week and a half of this pregnancy. I share a timeline of my prodromal labor experience, from the multiple hospital visits; to having ongoing contractions and being several centimeters dilated; to finally getting a scheduled induction. I unpack the confusion of feeling like I don’t know my own body, the anxiety of not knowing how to interpret my labor signals, how frustrating it has been not having any answers from the medical community, and more. Finally, I sign off for maternity leave for the last time (fingers crossed), and hope that this third visit to the hospital is the charm.

Key Takeaway / Points:

• On taking a brief pause from maternity leave
• On taking meticulous notes throughout pregnancy (and life)
• On the importance of not comparing pregnancies with others
• A timeline and update on my prodromal labor experience, from my multiple hospital visits to scheduling an induction

In this episode, I sit down with friend and content creator Olivia Noceda to talk about priorities, boundaries, and understanding what we want versus what we think we want. We reflect on a time Olivia was there for me during a postpartum breakdown, and Olivia shares how she has developed her journey with boundaries over time. She also discusses why regularly establishing your priorities in life is essential, how the impulse of comparison on social media is inevitable, and why fiction and escapism can be so freeing. She also talks about her path to sober curiosity, how we can become addicted to routine, and why in a culture of “more,” “less” is actually the key to finding freedom and release.

Key Takeaway / Points:

• Remembering a time when Olivia was there for me during a postpartum breakdown
• How Olivia has developed her journey with boundaries
• Why regularly establishing your priorities is essential
• On the impulse of comparison with social media
• On the concept of being addicted to romance and escapism
• The importance of fiction in our lives

• Why it’s healthy to observe our relationships with vices, from alcohol to social media
• On becoming addicted to routine

In this episode, I give a life update and share my recent experience being eight months pregnant at my cousin’s wedding, and how I’m generally feeling physically and mentally. I unpack the confusion of feeling anxious over daily life things but not “bigger” events, why anxiety sparks when I’m not able to show up as my truest self, and why I’m choosing to ignore the “more is better” mentality right now and lean into “less.” I share all the things I’m excited for postpartum (hello, soft belly), and what I plan to do differently in my second postpartum experience versus my first. 

Key Takeaway / Points:

• On the confusion of feeling anxious over daily life things, but not “bigger” events
• On feeling anxious when I’m not able to show up as my truest self
• On being eight months pregnant at my cousin’s wedding
• What people don’t tell you about parenthood
• Things I’m excited for postpartum
• On choosing to ignore the “more is better” mentality and leaning into “less”
• What I plan to do differently in my second postpartum experience versus my first

In this episode, I sit down with one of my closest friends, Jess Nash, to discuss friendship, motherhood, and how the two intersect. We talk about our friendship “breakup” and how we reconnected after several years of not staying in touch, how having children has bonded us even further, and how essential it is for mothers not to judge each other for their parenting choices. We also discuss why it’s so important for mothers to find a postpartum community and we answer listener questions on preparing for motherhood, making space for conversation not centered around our children, and supporting a friend who is struggling with infertility or has miscarried.

Key Takeaway / Points:

• On our friendship “breakup” and how we reconnected
• How having children bonded us further
• On friends disagreeing with how they mother their children
• On the importance of mothers not judging each other
• On finding community during postpartum
• Answering listener questions on friendship and motherhood, including:
• Why friends “go quiet” after they have children
• On preparing for the identity shift that comes with motherhood
• On celebrating each others’ wins in friendships
• On making space for conversation not centered around children
• On supporting a friend who is struggling with infertility or has miscarried

In this episode, I sit down with Emma Lovewell, beloved Peloton instructor and fitness leader, to discuss her experience of writing her new book Live, Learn, Love Well: Lessons from a Life of Progress, Not Perfection, and the non-linear journey she took to becoming a Peloton instructor. Emma shares what she’s learned about the value of saying yes to everything once, taking risks and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, and why experience is more fruitful than reward. We discuss her non-competitive relationship with her fellow Peloton leaders, what it’s like being one of the few public-facing Asian American fitness instructors, how she creates her workouts and those sought-after playlists, and more.

We discuss all things human design: what it is, how it works, and the five energy types that differentiate people.

In this episode, I sit down with Alli Schaper, co-founder of Super Mush, Into the Multiverse, and the Microdosing Collective, and an encyclopedia for all things functional and psychedelic mushrooms. We discuss everything from the distinction between mushrooms and fungi; to our human connection and long history with mushrooms; to how the mycelium network connects every living organism. Alli explains how she came to use functional mushrooms for her health, what is happening legally right now in the U.S. with psychedelics, and how psilocybin-assisted therapy is being used for treating PTSD, mental health, and more. We also discuss how psilocybin creates new neural pathways in the brain, microdosing vs. tripping, and the work Alli is doing to promote industry regulation, accessibility, and transparency within both psychedelics and functional mushrooms.
