Potty Training: We Survived, Here’s Everything

Now that both of our kids are officially potty trained, we’re dedicating an episode to this major rite of passage in motherhood. We share the different methods we each used, how our experiences varied, and the differences we noticed between boys vs. girls and starting at different ages. We also debunk some common potty training myths and talk about what actually worked (and what didn’t). Most importantly, we’re keeping it real: sharing the messy, frustrating, and funny moments so you don’t feel like you have to go through it alone. If you’re in thick of potty training, about to start, or just want honest insight from moms who’ve been there, this episode is for you.

Feelings range from grief to excitement to loneliness to adventure, for many a mashup of all of these, and that’s just in the first week! This episode covers how we can prepare ourselves (and our kids) for this new era, by setting boundaries, expressing expectations, finding our people, and tons of communication with everyone involved. Sprinkled throughout are some major lessons learned by Cara and Vanessa–oof!–and advice for those soon to embark on this phase. Show Notes: Watch the full episode on Youtube!

Why Mothers Feel Like They’re Drowning (Even Doing Everything Right) with Dr. Sara Bloom

In this episode with Dr. Sara Bloom, we unpack the hidden emotional and physical toll of modern motherhood — and why so many women feel exhausted, disconnected, and constantly behind despite doing everything “right.” We explore how today’s wellness culture often asks mothers to optimize more, perform more, and carry more, when what they truly need is restoration, nervous system support, and permission to slow down. We also dive into what led Sara to create Mavie, a maternal wellness app intentionally built without streaks, scores, or pressure to “do wellness perfectly.” Designed to meet mothers where they are, Mavie focuses on realistic support through simple practices, accessible tools, and meaningful community. Whether you’re a new mom, navigating identity shifts, or feeling overwhelmed by the always-on pace of modern life, this episode is a reminds me to the days I jumped er that wellness should support you, not become another responsibility to manage. Use code MTMOMS for 1 month free on Mavie!

Why Mindfulness Isn’t Changing Your Life

If you've been meditating consistently but still find yourself stuck in the same emotional patterns, you're not alone. In this episode of the Emotional Longevity Podcast, Dr. Elisha Goldstein sits down with Melvin McLeod, founding editor of Lion's Roar and author of With a Single Breath, to explore why mindfulness alone isn't enough—and what it takes to create genuine transformation. Melvin explains how mindfulness has often been reduced to stress reduction and relaxation, when it was originally intended as a complete path for cultivating insight, compassion, ethical living, and meaningful human connection. Together they unpack the five essential elements of mindfulness that move beyond simply calming the mind and into creating lasting emotional health, resilience, and a richer way of living.
