Motherhood is beautiful… and complicated… and sometimes a little unhinged.

In this Mother’s Day episode, we hold space for the full spectrum of what it means to be a mom right now. We have an honest conversation about the realities of Black maternal health—and reflect on three recent cases in the news involving Black mothers that ended in tragedy. These stories are heavy, but necessary, and we approach them with care, empathy, and a desire to keep these conversations from being ignored.

From there, we get personal—sharing our own motherhood experiences, how we’ve changed, and the versions of ourselves we’ve had to grieve along the way.

And because this is Doing It All, we balance it with the moments that keep us laughing:

our take on “freak numbers” (let’s just say… Sarah went from a 6 to maybe a 4, while Maya is a tentative 7 )

Maya sharing a very honest “did I really just say that to my child?” moment that had us both in tears

the phrases we say at least 100 times a day to our toddlers

and our current favorite “horror movies”… aka what we’ve discovered in the depths of our kids’ car seats (truly terrifying)

We also leave you with a simple challenge this week: do something for yourself that you normally do for everyone else. The same care, effort, and intention—you deserve that too. And if you do, post it and tag us—we want to see it

We also read a listener letter that hit home for all of us—on grieving who you were before motherhood, and what it looks like to slowly find yourself again.

Whether you’re holding a lot right now, missing your old self, or just trying to make it to bedtime—this episode is for you. Happy Mother's Day!

If your brain feels like 47 tabs are open (and you’re the only one who knows what’s in each one)… this episode is for you.
This week, we’re sitting down with Nathalie Strattion - co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Hearth Display for a conversation about the real weight of running a home.
We get into:
The never-ending mental checklist
Building a life (and a business) while raising kids
How we can start making the invisible… visible
Plus, Nathalie takes us inside a day in her life as a busy mom while building Hearth. She shares with us what it actually looks like behind the scenes, what’s working, and what she’s releasing.
If you’ve ever thought “how is all of this living in my head?”… press play.

In this rerelease if an episode from this time last year, we sat down with a woman who isn’t just making history—she’s rewiring it. Evelynn Escobar, founder of Hike Clerb, has built a movement that empowers racialized people to reconnect with the outdoors. She’s reclaiming space, redefining belonging, and reminding us that nature is for everyone.
At a time when DEI efforts are being challenged and the environment feels more precious than ever, this conversation is necessary. We’re diving into the intersection of representation, environmental justice, and the radical act of rest in nature—because touching grass isn’t just a hobby, it’s resistance.
Evelynn also opens up about motherhood, how she includes her toddler in everything she does, and how she’s preparing to welcome another child. She shares her journey with home birthing, the importance of being surrounded by a team that has your best interest at heart, and how her village has helped her show up as the best version of herself.
This is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt like they don’t belong—whether in the outdoors, in certain spaces, or in systems that weren’t built with them in mind.
