Doing It All(ish) is the honest conversation you’ve been craving—the one that lives somewhere between feeding schedules and team meetings, toddler tantrums and business wins. Hosted by longtime friends Christina Buchanan (@christinacbuchanan) and Morgan Berliner (@eat.talk.grow), this show is your permission slip to embrace the “ish.” We’re talking about real life in the trenches of early motherhood, entrepreneurship, marriage, mental health, and the everyday magic (and chaos) in between. From speech and feeding tips to fertility, from postpartum anxiety to Pure Barre, we’re showing up—sometimes messy, always honest—so you can feel a little more seen, a little more supported, and a whole lot less alone. New episodes weekly. Grab your coffee, throw in a load of laundry, and let’s figure it out together.

    Pregnancy After IVF: 28-Week Update, Hidden Risks, Labor Positions & The Rocking Chair Dilemma

    In this quarterly check-in episode of Doing It All(ish), we’re catching up on life, pregnancy, and everything in between. Christina is 28 weeks pregnant after IVF, and we’re talking about what this pregnancy looks like compared to the first — from juggling a toddler to navigating extra scans, maternal fetal medicine, and the hidden risks that can come with IVF pregnancies. We cover: Pregnancy after IVF and what genetic testing does (and doesn’t) guarantee Maternal fetal medicine vs. a regular OB-GYN Extra heart scans for IVF pregnancies Baby aspirin and reducing the risk of preeclampsia Pregnancy insomnia, swelling, and real 3rd trimester symptoms Labor positions and protecting your hips during delivery How pregnancy can lead to hip labral tears Prenatal vitamins, probiotics, and supplements The emotional side of transitioning out of the nursery phase And yes… canned potatoes as a pregnancy craving If you’re pregnant, navigating IVF, preparing for birth, or simply trying to stay sane while raising toddlers and growing a business, this episode is an honest, unfiltered update from the thick of it. We’d also love to hear from you — what labor position did you deliver in? And did anyone else crave something as random as canned potatoes? ✨ Subscribe so you never miss an episode—and if you can take a minute to leave us a review, we’ll be forever grateful! ✨ Connect with us: Christina: https://www.instagram.com/christinacbuchanan/?igsh=eGZvejNmY3VkdmY3#  Morgan https://www.instagram.com/eat.talk.grow/?igsh=MXc4bHh6dXkwcXJ3OQ%3D%3D#

    Mom Q&A – Meal Prep, Marriage, Mom Guilt, and the Chaos Before the Door

    It’s time for a cozy, real-life Q&A episode — the kind that feels like you’re hanging out with us while folding laundry, driving carpool, or hiding in the pantry for one quiet minute. We’re answering questions about: What we swore we’d “never do” as moms (and now do daily) Current survival dinners + snack rotations (hello, chicken nuggets + crockpot everything) The one house thing that drives us crazy… but will never change The most chaotic part of the day (spoiler: the 10 minutes before leaving the house) The mom “hill” we’ll die on (no folding clothes + one meal for the whole family) Expectations about motherhood that turned out totally wrong Mom guilt we’ve released (or are learning to release), especially around childcare + food How movement can instantly shift your mood The mental load of always feeling behind And a big one: how marriage changes after kids — the resentment, the reality, and what helps If you’ve been feeling like you’re doing a lot… and still somehow “behind,” this episode will feel like a deep exhale and a reminder that you’re not alone. ✨ Subscribe so you never miss an episode—and if you can take a minute to leave us a review, we’ll be forever grateful! ✨ Connect with us: Christina: https://www.instagram.com/christinacbuchanan/?igsh=eGZvejNmY3VkdmY3#  Morgan https://www.instagram.com/eat.talk.grow/?igsh=MXc4bHh6dXkwcXJ3OQ%3D%3D#

    The Postpartum Injury No One Talks About – Pelvic Organ Prolapse + NYC Mom Life (with Leighanne McGill Jacobs)

    In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with one of my closest friends, Leighanne McGill Jacobs — a physician assistant in aesthetics/dermatology and a new-ish mom raising a toddler in New York City. From the outside, Leighanne’s life looked totally normal: demanding career, motherhood, doing it all. But behind the scenes, she was quietly navigating an invisible postpartum injury — pelvic organ prolapse — and the emotional, physical, and logistical reality that came with it. We talk about: What pelvic organ prolapse can actually feel like (and the signs Leighanne noticed) Why it can be missed for months postpartum when you’re in pure survival mode Getting diagnosed in NYC, deciding between treatment options, and what surgery + recovery really looked like The unexpected “post-surgery blues” and how common it is Motherhood logistics in Manhattan: strollers, stairs, subways, snow, and no car seat life How becoming a mom reshaped her ambition, boundaries, and workout mindset What support actually helped most (and why “help” doesn’t have to look one specific way) Lightning round: NYC mom hacks, skin product recs, and her best boundaries right now If you’ve ever felt like your body was “off” postpartum but you couldn’t explain it… or you’ve been pushing through something quietly because you have no choice — this episode will make you feel a lot less alone.

    Why Mom Friends Matter More Than Ever (And How to Find Yours)

    Motherhood can feel isolating… even when you’re never technically alone. In this episode, we’re talking all things mom friendships — how they shift after babies, why they’re harder to build than anyone warns you about, and how to actually maintain them in the chaos of real life. We cover: Why mom friends matter (more than we admit) How friendships change from baby #1 to baby #2 (and beyond) The underrated power of the “walk date” Making friends at the gym, school, activities… and yes, even through DMs A simple “recurring plan” hack that keeps friendships alive Why friendships naturally ebb and flow — and how to let that be okay If you’ve ever thought, “Why does this feel so awkward?” or “I just want one friend who gets it,” this one’s for you. ✨ Subscribe so you never miss an episode—and if you can take a minute to leave us a review, we’ll be forever grateful! ✨ Connect with us: Christina: https://www.instagram.com/christinacbuchanan/?igsh=eGZvejNmY3VkdmY3#  Morgan https://www.instagram.com/eat.talk.grow/?igsh=MXc4bHh6dXkwcXJ3OQ%3D%3D#

    The Mental Load No One Talks About – Nervous System, Boundaries & Help for Working Moms Who Are Doing It All

    What does it really take to “do it all” as a working mom — and why does it feel so heavy? In this episode of Doing It All(ish), we sit down with Emily Judice, nervous system coach, mentor to high-achieving women, podcast host of Be That Girl, and Amazon bestselling author, to unpack the mental load, invisible labor, and nervous system stress that so many working moms are carrying behind the scenes. We talk honestly about: Why “work-life balance” isn’t real — and what actually works instead How nervous system regulation impacts decision-making, boundaries, and burnout The guilt, pressure, and expectations moms silently carry every day What it really looks like to get help at home (childcare, delegation, systems) Why being busy isn’t a badge of honor — and how to opt out of chaos How modeling regulation builds resilient kids and healthier families Emily shares real examples from her life as a mom of four and from the women she coaches — doctors, business owners, executives, creatives — who are navigating motherhood, ambition, and overwhelm at the same time. If you’re a working mom who feels like you’re constantly juggling schedules, emotions, expectations, and everyone else’s needs — this episode will help you feel seen, grounded, and less alone. 🎧 Listen in for a powerful reminder: you’re not failing — you’re carrying a lot. ✨ Connect with Emily: Instagram Podcast Book Peak Performance Book: https://a.co/d/7NUJrrf ✨ Subscribe so you never miss an episode—and if you can take a minute to leave us a review, we’ll be forever grateful! ✨ Connect with us: Christina: https://www.instagram.com/christinacbuchanan/?igsh=eGZvejNmY3VkdmY3#  Morgan https://www.instagram.com/eat.talk.grow/?igsh=MXc4bHh6dXkwcXJ3OQ%3D%3D#

    Postpartum Psychosis – Emily’s Story, Early Warning Signs, Misdiagnosis, and How to Support New Mothers

    Postpartum psychosis is rare—but when it happens, it is a medical emergency that far too many families don’t recognize until crisis hits. In this powerful episode of Doing It All(ish), we sit down with Emily, a mom of two, to share her firsthand experience with postpartum psychosis after the birth of her first daughter. With no prior mental health history or risk factors, Emily walks us through the subtle early warning signs, rapid escalation, ER admission, involuntary commitment, misdiagnosis, and the critical role family advocacy played in her survival and recovery. We discuss: What postpartum psychosis actually is (and how it differs from postpartum depression and anxiety) Early warning signs partners and families should never ignore How sleep deprivation and hormonal shifts can trigger a break from reality Why postpartum psychosis is often misdiagnosed What happens during involuntary psychiatric hospitalization The importance of perinatal-specific mental health care How loved ones can support someone experiencing postpartum psychosis Why sharing these stories can save lives If you are pregnant, postpartum, supporting a new mother, or simply want to better understand maternal mental health, this episode is essential listening. If you or someone you love is struggling, you are not alone—and help is available.
