    Transitions, Trust & Tarot!

    This week on The Mother Daze, we’re feeling all the things. With Wyatt graduating and our kids somehow growing up right before our eyes, we found ourselves reflecting on this wild season of life. From starting over after the fires to moving cities (and even countries), we chat about what it’s been like watching our kids navigate change, find their people, build friendships, and create a sense of home wherever they land. We talk about the very real parenting urge to swoop in and fix everything for our children, and the beautiful reminder that growth often lives on the other side of discomfort. Sarah chats about her mum’s notorious habit of always putting herself last and how it’s starting to catch up with her physically (and how many of us mothers are guilty of doing the exact same thing!) There’s some women’s circle circling, Teresa pulls some witchy cards for the Dazeys, and Sarah shares a few moments where her developing medical mediumship unexpectedly clocks in for work!!

    Healthy with a Side of Happy! With Sabrina Rudin

    This week on The Mother Daze, we have a brilliant guest: Sabrina Rudin. Mama, restaurateur, cookbook author and multi-hyphenate do-er of very cool things. She’s chatting with us about the winding road that led her to a healthier, happier relationship with food, and the path she’s taken to share her recipes with the world through her book, “Healthy with a Side of Happy: 100 Plant Based Recipes To Feed Your Family”  Sabrina shares how learning to listen to her body transformed the way she eats, cooks and lives. We chat about questioning the messages we’ve absorbed from the meat and dairy industries, dive into Eat Right for Your Blood Type, and explore why one size definitely doesn’t fit all when it comes to wellness. Tez, our A+ blood-type girly and our “natural-born vegetarian”, shares the highs, lows and mercury poisoning of her “Seagan” chapter. And we, as per the uje, take a sharp left turn down Shit Alley. Luckily for Sabrina, we don’t spend too long down the toilet-talk rabbit hole before getting right back to the important chat: her brilliant book and the life-uplevelling food philosophies she shares, like Making Every Snack a Meal. Think simple, nourishing light bites that take the overwhelm out of healthy eating and bring a little creativity and joy back into the kitchen. Intuition, wellness, motherhood, food freedom and poo stories! All the things we like around here.

    The Great RV Escape: The Mayhem, the Madness, the Magic!

    This week on the podcast, Sarah and Teresa debrief their epic double-family hangout and all the beautiful chaos that came with it. From the sight of Tez and Mark’s 30ft RV parked right out front of Sarah and Eric’s house for two days straight, a glimpse of full-on family commune living of our dreams, to skate park adventures, evening walks, ATV rides, Bodhi & Wyatt’s budding band career, the girls dive into the kids’ dynamics, the dreamy days in Santa Barbara, Sarah’s nanny Sonya’s chef-level cooking, and all the magic that unfolds when the Olsens and Palmers collide. Tez also unpacks the full RV trip from Vancouver to LA, just her, Mark, her mum, and the five kids thrown into tight living quarters. From campground stopovers that felt straight out of another era, to middle-of-the-night customs drama, to sleep-deprived kids, delirious adults (including Teresa’s mum’s unwavering go-with-the-flow vibes), chronic overpacking, nonstop boardgaming (the stuff of Tez’s dreams), and a strict “no ferals” level of hygiene (aka no s***s on the floor!!), it was a whirlwind from start to finish. Equal parts mishaps, magic, and mayhem, laughing through the chaos and somehow making core memories along the way. Resource Links: lovewell.

    Signs, Spirals & Staying Present

    Sarah and Tez are riding solo this week and covering everything from baby crawling styles, Wyatt’s special new role, and Teresa’s latest board game obsession, to teachable moments with our kids when feelings of comparison and insecurity begin creeping in. We chat about why planting those emotional seeds early feels so important, especially while raising tiny humans in a world that constantly tells them to measure themselves against everyone else. We also dive into our new YouTube community, the exclusive videos and extra content we’re sharing over there, and do some Dazey shout outs for our YouTube members. Sarah opens up about the signs and synchronicities showing up lately as she leans deeper into her clair audience and intuition, while both Sarah and Tez unpack future tripping, staying present, trusting “this or something better,” Eckhart Tolle teachings, signs from the universe, and the sneaky ways fear and scarcity can quietly pull us out of abundance mindset without us even realizing it.

    BROAD DAZE: with Rachel Bilson & Olivia Allen

    We are BACK for our second Broad Daze episode and apparently we’ve got pussies on the brain… cats, people. CATS. In true double-bestie fashion we cover everything from cat parenting, cat fostering and cat birthing (yes really) to kitty litter hacks, pee anxiety, spirituality, identity shifts, Parts Work and the lingering shadows of religious conditioning. From cats to horses (the Year of the Horse to be exact), we unpack what’s currently shifting for all of us; what’s surfacing for Rachel, what Tez is moving through, what Sarah’s leaning into and what “Part” is showing up as Olivia navigates her toughie era. We dive into the many versions of ourselves that exist within us and how those parts protect, rebel and evolve. Then things take a darker turn as we wade into the unsettling world of the Satanic Panic, including the disturbing story surrounding the West Memphis Three case at the height of moral hysteria in America. We also talk religious upbringings, indoctrination, residual fear, reconnecting with the divine feminine, ancestral wisdom and why understanding both the light and shadow sides of our lineage matters so deeply.

    Truth, ‘Selfishness’ and Expansion with Kerry Faherty

    This week we’re diving into Selfish, the raw and revealing memoir by Kerry Faherty, mother and co-founder of Faherty Brand.  We unpack radical honesty, telling the full truth about your life without people pleasing, and the tension that comes with being fully seen. Including why sharing your truth can upset people, and how to navigate that discomfort in relationships. We explore reclaiming the word “selfish” as a tool for self worth and aliveness, the burnout of overgiving, and what happens when you lose yourself trying to keep everyone else happy. We also get into self reflection, living more expansively, and the cycle of wounding and healing in relationships. Everything we LOVE talking about!
