Through honest storytelling, gentle psychoeducation, and meaningful conversation, each season explores themes like identity, motherhood, relationships, healing, and personal growth. This is a space to unlearn the noise, reclaim your voice, and build community. My hope is that every woman who listens feels grounded, seen, empowered, and confident in who she already is.

    BODY IMAGE: The Weight We Carry: diet culture, GLP-1s, & the Search for Enough With Coco Muraca | S07E61

    In this episode, we’re talking about the complicated relationship so many of us have with food, weight, and the mirror. We explore the ups and downs of dieting, weight fluctuations, family messages about food, the stigma surrounding GLP-1 medications, and how our beliefs about our bodies often run much deeper than appearance. We also talk about faith, identity, shame, and what it looks like to pursue health without constantly feeling at war with yourself. This isn’t a conversation about telling you what you should eat or how your body should look. It’s an invitation to get curious about your story, challenge the narratives you’ve inherited, and remember that your worth has never been determined by your size.

    BODY IMAGE: A Dancer’s Journey from Perfectionism to Peace with Lisa Price | S07E60

    For so many of us, body image starts long before we realize it. In this episode, I’m joined by Lisa Price, a former dancer whose relationship with her body was shaped by years of striving, restriction, and the pressure to look a certain way. We talk about where those beliefs begin, how dance culture can influence the way we see ourselves, and what it means to untangle those messages. But Lisa’s story took an unexpected turn. After the unimaginable loss of her daughter, her perspective on her body changed in ways she never could have anticipated. Grief shifted what mattered, and the body she once tried so hard to control became something she learned to appreciate in an entirely different way. Today, Lisa is helping create spaces where dancers can experience movement without shame, where bodies are celebrated for what they can do—not just how they look.

    BODY IMAGE: What if Your Body Has Been Trying to Protect You? The Inner Critic, Diet Culture, and What to do Next with LCSW Lexi Bonilla | S07E59

    This season, we’re having honest conversations about body image, eating disorders, body dysmorphia, and what it means to find peace with the body you live in. Through personal stories and conversations with therapists and other professionals, we’ll explore the experiences so many of us quietly carry—and the beliefs we’ve learned about our worth, appearance, and ourselves. My hope is that these episodes help you feel a little less alone, a little more understood, and maybe even a little more curious about the story your own body has been trying to tell. For so many of us, body image isn’t really about our body at all. In this episode, I sit down with therapist Lexi, to talk about body image, eating disorders, body dysmorphia, intuitive eating, and why so many of us feel stuck in the cycle of trying to “fix” ourselves. We explore how Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps us understand the inner critic, why our thoughts about food and our bodies often develop as forms of protection, and how healing starts with curiosity instead of criticism. Whether you’ve struggled with dieting, wellness culture, disordered eating, or simply feeling at war with your body, this conversation offers both practical tools and a compassionate new perspective. If you’ve ever wondered why it’s so hard to let go of body shame, this episode is for you.

    BODY IMAGE: The Girl with Perfect Hair: Body Image, Perfectionism, Fashion, Running and Freedom with Andrea Kuivinen | S07E58

    Body image is something almost all of us have wrestled with in one way or another. Throughout this season, we’re sharing honest stories, conversations, and practical resources that explore the many layers of our relationship with our bodies—from food and movement to identity, self-worth, healing, and hope. My prayer is that these episodes help you feel less alone, challenge the narratives you’ve carried, and remind you that your value has never been defined by the way you look. Today’s conversation is with my friend, Andrea. Andrea is a runner, works in the fashion industry, and is someone I’ve known to be incredibly driven. She’s always had that type-A, high-achieving energy, and like so many women, she’s spent a lot of her life navigating the pressure to look a certain way, perform a certain way, and be a certain way. In this episode, Andrea shares her journey with body image, confidence, perfectionism, and the ways those stories started much earlier than most people realize. We talk about getting up before sunrise to put on makeup before swim practice, the messages we absorb about beauty and worth, and what it looks like to slowly untangle yourself from those expectations. What I love most about this conversation is that it isn’t about arriving at some perfect destination. It’s about learning to take up space, trust yourself, and move toward wholeness one step at a time. Whether you’ve ever struggled with body image, felt trapped by perfectionism, or found yourself constantly chasing the next version of yourself, I think you’ll find pieces of your own story in Andrea’s.

    MOTHERHOOD: The Heart of a Lioness: Carrying Grief, Holding Faith, and Choosing Life with Lisa Price | S06E57

    There are some conversations that stay with you long after the microphones are turned off. This is one of them. Today, I’m sitting down with Lisa Price, founder of Bereaved Together, and we talk about something no parent ever imagines having to navigate—the loss of a child. Lisa shares the story of losing her daughter, the heartbreak that followed, and what it has looked like to keep living, loving, and mothering through it all. We talk about EMDR therapy, faith, the questions that don’t always have answers, and the reality of holding joy and grief in the same hand. We also talk about what it’s like to raise her son while continuing to love, honor, and parent a daughter who is no longer physically here. What I loved most about this conversation is that Lisa doesn’t try to tie grief up with a neat little bow. She speaks honestly about the messiness of it, the loneliness of it, and the ways God has met her in places she never wanted to be. Whether you’ve experienced the loss of a child, another significant loss, or you’re simply trying to better understand someone you love, I think you’ll find something here. This conversation is tender, honest, heartbreaking, hopeful, and such a beautiful reminder that love doesn’t end when someone dies. So take a deep breath, settle in, and join me as we hold space your yet another beautiful story about love.

    MOTHERHOOD: Just because it’s hard, doesn’t mean it’s wrong: Motherhood, Tough Sleepers, and Discipling your Children with Jenna Solich | S06E56

    In this episode, I’m joined by Jenna as we talk about the real, everyday side of motherhood — the strength it builds, the tension of holding both joy and exhaustion, and the grace it takes to release expectations of yourself as a mom. Jenna shares about navigating pregnancy while caring for a young child, the challenges of sleep deprivation, and how faith shows up in the ordinary rhythms of family life. This conversation is an honest encouragement for moms who feel tired, overwhelmed, or unsure if they’re doing enough. Sometimes the most sacred moments of motherhood are found in the everyday. You’re listening to Dirty Laundry with ollie. And together, we are healing out loud.

    MOTHERHOOD: A Yappy Hour: Pregnancy, Birth, Postpartum and Nipple Piercings with Ana and Ollie | S06E55

    Welcome back to Dirty Laundry with Ollie—this season is all about motherhood. The beautiful parts, the messy parts, and everything we don’t usually say out loud. Around here, we don’t fold it up neatly, we air it out. Real stories, honest conversations, and reminders that you’re not alone in this. So wherever you’re listening from, take a breath… this is motherhood, aired out.  Today’s episode is a little different. My friend and I are inviting you into our daily voice memo conversations.  I’m sitting down with my friend Ana, and we’re talking all things pregnancy, birth, and those wild early postpartum days that no one really prepares you for. This conversation started as us swapping pregnancy stories… and quickly turned into laughing about the chaos, naming the hard parts out loud, and remembering the joy that somehow exists right alongside the exhaustion. We talk about the moments that stretched us, the things that surprised us, and the reality that you can love this season and struggle in it at the same time. It’s honest, a little unfiltered, and very much a “you had to be there” kind of episode. Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, or just love hearing real stories from women who are figuring it out as they go,  this one’s for you. Let’s get into it. Links: Dirty Laundry Links

    BONUS: National Infertility Awareness Month, IVF, and the Long Road to Mama with Stephanie Booe | S06E54

    Today we are taking a moment to honor National Infertility Awareness Month and revisiting a super meaningful conversation from season four. This isn’t a replay because we ran out of stories to tell. It’s a replay because some stories deserve to be heard again. In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with a mother who spent years navigating unexplained infertility, multiple failed IUI treatments, and the emotional, physical, and financial toll of trying to conceive. She shares her journey to IVF (something she once prayed she wouldn’t have to pursue) and how her faith, marriage, and sense of self were shaped along the way. Now a mother of two boys and the author of You Are Worth the Wait, she reflects on healing, hope, and what she learned in the waiting. As we celebrate motherhood, we also want to hold space for those walking through infertility, pregnancy loss, IVF, adoption, waiting, or uncertainty. Your story matters, too. Topics discussed include infertility, IVF, IUI, fertility treatments, women’s health, faith, marriage, motherhood, hope, and healing. Here on Dirty Laundry with Ollie, I believe ALL stories are deserving of listening ears.  From my heart to yours, Ollie 3 Links: Dirty Laundry Links Book a FREE Therapy Consult  Connect with Stephanie
