    17. Balancing Business & Motherhood Without Burning Out with Olivia Austin

    Hey sis! Welcome back to another episode of the Let Me Ask My Sister Podcast! 💬🎙️This week, Savannah is joined by co-host Tara and special guest Olivia Austin—brand + website agency owner, mentor to Savannah, and mom of two under two—for a candid conversation about balancing entrepreneurship and motherhood without losing yourself in the process. They kick things off with a powerful quote: “Motherhood doesn’t make you less ambitious—it makes you more efficient, more focused, and more discerning about where your energy goes.” And Olivia brings that to life through her story—from quitting her corporate job “cold turkey,” building a thriving design agency, and then making a major pivot when she became pregnant. Olivia opens up about the realities of new motherhood (including postpartum anxiety and depression), what it actually looked like to “pause” taking new clients for nearly a year, and how she redesigned her business model to protect both her time and her income. Tara and Savannah also dig into schedules, seasons, boundaries, childcare, and the constant tug-of-war of wanting to be in two places at once. If you’re a business owner, a high-performing woman, a current mom, or an aspiring mom-to-be—this episode is your permission slip to build a life that works for you. Olivia’s leap from corporate life to owning her own agency How motherhood changed her definition of “success” Why running a big agency wasn’t aligned anymore—and what she did instead The mindset shift of seasons (and why you can’t do everything at once) Postpartum mental health and coming back to the basics of self-care How to take maternity leave as a business owner (without panicking) The power of boundaries: “calls only on Thursdays” + batching your calendar A realistic schedule for working part-time while raising little ones Why you don’t need permission to pursue your passions as a mom You don’t have to choose. You can be a present mom and pursue what fills you up—it just takes reverse engineering your dream life and building your business around it.

    16. From the Sister Group Chat: Eras Tour Thoughts, Analog Parenting & Supplement Red Flags

    Hey sis! Welcome back to Season 2 of the Let Me Ask My Sister Podcast! This week, Savannah, Brie, and Tarah are back in the sister group chat catching up on what they’ve been consuming lately—from the Taylor Swift Eras Tour doc and Armchair Expert to Savannah’s current business read, Profit First (for the fellow business girlies who want to get paid 😅). Then we get into our current favorite things: Tarah’s obsessed with “The Brick” (a little gadget that blocks your apps and forces you to touch grass), Brie’s trying personalized haircare from Prose, and Savannah is officially retiring the cheap Amazon travel backpack in favor of a CalPak upgrade. And of course, we slide into the real-life topics: travel “dupe” destinations (Puglia vs Amalfi + Montenegro as a Lake Como dupe), going analog with kids (VHS players are back??), and a candid conversation on the supplement industry—what’s legit, what’s questionable, and why third-party testing matters. Get ready for laughs, hot takes, and the kind of advice you’d normally only get in a sister text thread. 💬🎙️ Taylor Swift Eras Tour Documentary (Disney+) Armchair Expert (Podcast) Profit First (Book) The Brick (app blocker + phone “detox” tool) Prose Personalized Haircare CalPak Travel Backpack Have any hot takes (or a supplement opinion 👀)?

    Welcome back to the Let Me Ask My Sister Podcast! In this episode, Tarah McDonald and Savannah Dickey sit down with doula Kaley Gavoni to explore the unique and impactful role doulas play in the childbirth journey. Kaley shares her path to becoming a doula and breaks down the differences between doulas and midwives, emphasizing the emotional, physical, and informational support doulas provide throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. The conversation touches on the unpredictability of birth, the importance of creating a comfortable birth environment, and how doulas offer crucial support even during C-sections and emergencies. Kaley also discusses popular trends in doula care, birth planning, and essential items to have on hand for a positive experience. Through warmth and insight, she highlights how doulas create a sisterhood of support and how education and preparation empower expectant moms. They also discuss common misconceptions, the growing visibility of doulas through social media, and the idea of doulas creating a “sisterhood” for mothers in labor.
