    Cleaning House with Lindsay Dahl

    This week on the pod we sit down with environmental health expert and mama Lindsay Dahl, author of Cleaning House, for a deeply grounding, eye-opening chat about what it really means to create a healthier home without spiraling into perfectionism. From beauty products to the everyday cleaning staples sitting under your sink, Lindsay walks us through how to make more conscious choices without throwing everything out overnight, and where to actually start so it doesn’t feel overwhelming. We dive into trusted certifications like EWG and MADE SAFE, and how to decode labels so you can feel confident about what you’re bringing into your home and onto your body. We also explore the idea of micro moments of advocacy, those small, powerful choices that add up over time, and how to balance being informed without becoming overwhelmed. Because there’s a fine line between empowering our kids with knowledge and overloading them with information. This episode is proudly sponsored by Great Wolf Lodge!

The tired mama juggle is real and we’re giggling our way through it, throwing some grace at it, laughing at the dropped balls and celebrating the wins! We chat about outgrowing friendships, curating new connections, and what it really looks like to protect your energy and your space as a mama. There’s also a whole lot of woo woo mystical chat this week- angel numbers, mediums, birthday readings and signs all around us. Tez shares a story about a couple of her special pals, one on this side with her portal wide open and her friend on the other side guiding her from there. Plus we chat strange intuitive hits, being friends with men, and those eerie moments that feel like premonitions disguised as intrusive thoughts. Coincidence? We think not!!

    Fashion, Flow & Founder Energy with Megan Papay

    Today we’re joined by our friend Megan Papay, co-founder of Freda Salvador, a brand that feels less like a shoe company and more like an energy. Built on three generations of shoemaking, Freda has become a reflection of personal style, intention, and the quiet power of women building something meaningful. We talk about the idea that getting dressed can actually be a form of storytelling. How what we wear can mirror the season we’re in, the energy we’re calling in, or even the things we’re ready to release. Megan shares the reality of building a business while raising children, navigating mom guilt while traveling for work, and the unexpected ways roadblocks in business can lead to the biggest expansion. From building a brand while raising kids to the quiet rituals that keep us grounded, Megan also shares the practices that help her stay connected to herself.

    Identity, Birth Order and Balancing Hollywood

    This week’s wild stories are plentiful. We unpack the absurdity of driving through the night to be a “Sexiest Person” while standing next to a Victoria’s Secret supermodel… and personally feeling mildly unalived. Not emotionally. Just aesthetically. Spiritually. Sleep-deprived-y. (And this was pre-kids.) We talk God of War, Sarah filming Matlock, birthday snow trips, and the wobbly dance of mixing work and motherhood. What happens when your baby won’t take a bottle but you’re needed on set? How do you hold ambition and attachment at the same time without losing your sssht?! We dive into insecurities and carving out space in the entertainment industry as mothers. We chat birth order personalities; the feral wildlings versus the rule followers, family labels, individuality, and how to help our children become fully themselves. Ocean’s first tooth makes an appearance, and we close with a beautiful recap of our recent women’s circle that legit changed our lives!

    Aging, Authentic Beauty & Launching a Brand with Emily Doyle of Ursa Major

    This week we sit down with Emily Doyle, founder of Ursa Major and fellow mama, to talk about the real birth story behind building a brand while raising a family at the same time. We dive into the why behind Ursa Major, what it means to keep it real and relatable in the beauty business, and Emily shares some beautiful, grounded words for our Dazeys about taking the leap and launching something of your own. We also discuss what it actually looks like to find aligned business partners, and the deeper commitment required to stay authentic as you grow. And then… one of our favourite le poddy topics. Aging! We mount our soapbox to unpack our feelings around the whole “anti-aging” narrative. We’re not anti anything… in fact, it’s a damn privilege to grow older. We talk about the quiet pressure to tinker with your face. The subtle feeling of being left behind if you’re not doing Botox, fillers, all the things. We unpack our personal definitions of beauty and why confidence, magnetism and that undeniable twinkle in your eyes will always win. This is an ep about radiating energy, choosing joy and feeling glowy in your own skin. Resource Links: ursamajorvt.com lovewell.earth lovewell.

    Women’s Circle Magic, Mother Overload & Turning 40

    Solo ep this week aaaaand we went everywhere! We talk all about our women’s circle and the way it keeps showing up for us in the most nurturing, grounding, “ohhhh this is why community matters” kind of way. The softness. The honesty. The way women holding women just hit different. Tez retells a fully wild WTF-universe story where it showed up in the most epic, aligned, magical way… and also in the most “are you fkn kidding me?!” way. The emotional whiplash! The rollercoaster! The mother overload! The what-the-hell-did-I-get-myself-into?! We chat the light and dark balance again, and how both can exist at the exact same time. Sarah talks about her intuitive hits surrounding her dad and his health, and we discuss getting to re-parent ourselves in parenting. Teresa reflects on what turning 40 is stirring internally. Going inward. Looking at patterns. Recognising presence. Taking stock of who and what gets your energy moving forward!

    Big Moves, Big Jobs (GOW!) & BFF Hangs!

    We’re talking big life shifts! Tez’s big move (“It’s gonna be a bit chilly, eh?”), her God of War news, and the auditioning experience, including those moments where the universe shows up right when you’re on the brink. We dive into audition horror stories, nerves, rejection, and the emotional whiplash of putting yourself out there… weeeeee (followed by nervous). We also catch the Dazeys up on our recent EPIC beyond EPIC Olsen/Palmer hang (swooooon!!) and unpack easy friends vs tricky friends. There’s a recap of our recent women’s circle, some rage cleaning, and we get fully emo about our kids growing up, because time flies, ya know? Plus, we chat night-time rituals- those quiet moments of connection with the kids, and the way the littlest ones still long to feel like our little babies, even as they grow.
