Hi My Name Is Mom

Today we're joined by Nikki Leonti - a vocal phenom, music industry icon, and mother of 3 who has been through a LOT. She shares her inspirational story of being dropped from her christian record label after becoming pregnant as a teenager, overcoming extreme judgement, abusive relationships and custody battles... She has shared her talent on Ellen, Jay Leno, and America's Got Talent. She's saved her daughter from SIDS. She's taken her struggles and used them to inspire. Her message will make you feel like you can do ANYTHING.  We love her and you will too!!

Fitness Icon Stephanie Sanzo joins us to share the story of how she went from being a new mom who hated working out, to being someone millions of people look to for inspiration! We chat about the importance of finding time for health after baby - for physical and mental health reasons - leaning into your body type, and how she got that bod that is GOALS! She also opens up about her own struggle with body image, and her mission to let go of what other people think in this social media world full of haters. Stephanie also shares how her brand new clothing line, Yondit, came to be (spoiler: we're obsessed). She is SO cool and real and incredibly inspirational, and we are so excited to share her story!

One of us LOST IT this week... so we figured it would be a great time to talk about patience. Or, rather, the complete loss of patience! We chat about what time of day is most likely to cause a mommy melt down, triggers that make it more likely for us to lose it, and some ideas on how to keep your cool during the chaos... and... why it's probably okay to totally lose your sh*t from time to time!

Are our kids born with their biggest fears, or is it us, as parents, that cause them... Today we discuss fears & phobias and where they come from, and more importantly, whether we are to blame! Water, spiders, sharks, the pandemic... there's plenty to be worried about, including how much of that fear is our fault! Please weigh in with your thoughts on this topic! Cause we're trying our best to be "cool moms," haha, and probably failing miserably ;)
