We Are More Than Moms

We are not experts nor will we ever pretend to be. In these candid and honest conversations, we hope to create a safe space where listeners can relate to shared experiences and find comfort in knowing they're not alone in the rollercoaster ride of motherhood. We’re just two first-time mom best friends, Dale Stabler and Annabel Lawee, navigating our motherhood journeys together, and hope that by sharing, we can support you on your own journeys. Welcome to our village, we’re so honored you’re here!  Produced by Peoples Media Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    The pressure to ‘do’

    I’m sure many moms listening can relate, the pressure to ‘do’ is real. It was real before kids, but it’s even more accentuated post kids. D&A discuss how they’ve started to unlearn old programming of ‘do, do, do’, how taking moments for themselves to recharge is just as important and how multitasking, while sometimes a good thing, can also be detrimental. They also talk about the boundaries and systems they have in place to ensure they’re including time to rest, either alone or with family, so they can be present and recharged.

    D&A on their career journeys, identity shifts into motherhood and how More Than Moms began

    So many of you have asked us to share more about our careers so here it is! Spoiler alert, we both work full-time and More Than Moms was started as a passion project to quench our longing for community as new moms. We discuss our careers post-college and how they morphed into what we do and who we are today. While we have had very different career paths, we’ve shared many common themes including embracing change, taking risks, evolving, pivoting, and starting before we were ready. We speak candidly about how motherhood shifted our careers, our struggles / identity crisis in motherhood and how ultimately, motherhood allowed us to really uncover and show up as our authentic self, creating more alignment in our lives. We dive into identity shifts, not letting our career ‘title’ identify who we are, and the many parts of our identity aside from motherhood - because if you’re a working mom or stay at home mom, we’re all more than moms.

    Tara Moni on 3 boys under 2, embracing her changing identity and the unglamorous truths of a working mom balancing 3 young kids

    Tara Moni joins us today on the podcast! She had 3 boys under 2 (now 3 under 3). When her first son was 18 months, she welcomed identical twin boys into her family. She’s the founder of La Maregold, a resort-wear brand and a content creator. We dive into the unglamorous truths of what ‘doing it all’ actually means (spoiler alert, it’s not possible). Tara is unapologetically herself which is so refreshing, and shares authentically about the behind the scenes village that allows her to work, have a social life and make time for her husband/friends, all while having 3 young kids. As a girly girl living with 3 boys and her husband, Tara continues to foster her femininity and creativity through her love for fashion. Tara shares her journey from running partnerships at SomethingNavy to venturing out on her own / starting her dream brand post kids - letting go of resistance to her changing identity and instead embracing it. We discuss how she skipped the transition from 1-2 and went directly from 1-3 kids, and how that impacted her identity, her relationship dynamic and her parenting styles. And of course, we get you some great styling tips on how to dress during pregnancy and postpartum from the queen herself - hint: effortless and affordable sets!  This episode is brought to you by Sollis Health, now introducing their Sollis Family membership, the only medical membership that’s on demand for your family 24/7, 365.

    How does intimacy change once you become parents?

    Intimacy (physical, emotional, mental & spiritual) evolves a lot during motherhood. For us, intimacy doesn’t feel as easy and ‘spontaneous’ as it used to be, it requires intention, nurturing and sometimes even planning now that we have more responsibilities. We chat through our love languages, our new definitions of intimacy and how we foster it in our relationships, false expectations, as well as learnings from ‘The Queen’s code’ by Alison A. Armstrong which has helped us better understand how men operate.  This episode is brought to you by Sollis Health, now introducing their Sollis Family membership, the only medical membership that’s on demand for your family 24/7, 365.

    Michaela Podolsky on 3 under 3, being pregnant 4 years in a row and finding clarity and purpose through becoming a mom

    So special to have Michaela Podolsky on today’s episode. She has not done a podcast since 2021 (with her sister Arielle Charnas), so we feel SUPER honored she decided to share with us. We’ve both been following Michaela for quite some time, so this was a full circle moment for us. Michaela shares the realities of 3 under 3, what the hardest transition was, and how being pregnant for 4 consecutive years impacts your identity and relationship with your body. She also shares openly about losing a twin in her first pregnancy and navigating that loss, while moving to Florida away from her family in NYC who she is exceptionally close with. We dive into Michaela’s relationship with her sisters and how they’ve inspired her career / motherhood journey, as well as her relationship with her husband, Brett, and their secret to a strong relationship after 3 kids and 10+ years of being together. She discusses how she parents vs. how she was raised - including how her own mother instilled confidence in her at a young age. Overall, Michaela’s positive, glass half full attitude to life is incredibly refreshing and inspiring and we know you will love this episode as much as we did!
