    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

    MOTHERHOOD: Holding it All: Neurodivergence, Hormones, and the Heart of Motherhood With Kelita Hollins | S06E53

    In this episode, I sit down with Kelita to talk about a season of motherhood that doesn’t get talked about enough — navigating the changes of premenopause while raising boys. Kelita shares what it’s like raising two neurodivergent sons who sit on different sides of the spectrum, and how she’s learned that loving your kids equally doesn’t always mean loving them the same. We talk about what it looks like to meet each child where they are, give them the support they uniquely need, and still hold space for both of them to feel deeply loved. We also get into the reality of raising teenage boys — how to have hard conversations as they grow into themselves, how to address things like curiosity, boundaries, and exposure to things like pornography, and how to approach these moments in ways that build trust instead of shame. This conversation is honest, thoughtful, and full of wisdom for parents who want to stay connected to their kids as they grow. Enjoy! Links: Dirty Laundry Links Connect with Kelita

    MOTHERHOOD: Growing Up Brave: Motherhood, Body Image, “Balance” and Everything In Between with Reja Basyyoni | S06E52

    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.  I am SO excited to have Reja back in the studio. If you haven’t listened to her first episode, I would highly recommend you circle back to Season 05 Episode 36. I know you will be inspired and encouraged by her story.  Today, Raja and I talk honestly about motherhood, grief, body image, and the quiet pressure to hold everything together perfectly. We unpack why work-life balance is a faulty structure, how perfectionism sneaks into our bodies and our parenting, and what it looks like to invite our children into our grief without asking them to carry it for us. This conversation is grounding, gentle, and deeply encouraging—a reminder that grace matters more than getting it right. Whether you’re navigating loss, trauma, or the everyday weight of motherhood, this episode is an invitation to soften, release unrealistic expectations, and trust that you’re doing more than enough. On Dirty Laundry with Ollie, this episode covers:     •    Why “balance” is often an illusion—and what to aim for instead     •    Body image, self-compassion, and releasing perfectionism in motherhood     •    How to include children in grief without placing the burden on them     •    Navigating work, motherhood, and identity with more grace     •    Encouragement for anyone walking through grief, trauma, or transition Links: Dirty Laundry Links⁠  ⁠Reja’s Instagram⁠  ⁠Reja’s Website⁠  ⁠Free Mobility Work with Reja⁠

    MOTHERHOOD: Holding the Baby and Honoring the Story: Infertility, Endometriosis, Body Image, and Motherhood with Maria Layton Armstrong | S06E51

    Trigger warning: This episode contains conversations about infertility and pregnancy. Hello, this is Ollie, and welcome to Dirty Laundry with Ollie. A podcast that elevates personal stories and supports women in trusting themselves again, unlearning the noise, reclaiming their voice, and living from a place of wholeness, not pressure. Each season, we explore unique and meaningful topics through honest storytelling and shared lived experience, weaving in gentle psychoeducation, tangible tools, and moments of lightness. This is a space to build community, soften division, and remind us how deeply connected we really are. My hope is that every person who shares and every one who listens feels the quiet strength of their own story, honors the resilience they already carry, and feels grounded, seen, and whole – exactly as they are, and confident in where they’re going. Before we begin, I just want to acknowledge that if you are currently walking through infertility, conversations that sound like “happy endings” can feel deeply triggering. Please take care of your heart. If this isn’t the right time to listen, it is more than okay to press pause and come back next week. There is no pressure here. My hope is that this space feels encouraging and uplifting — and if today that means choosing not to listen, that is completely valid. You are seen, exactly where you are. Maria Layton Armstrong first joined us during our infertility season and now she’s back, holding her baby girl in her arms. In this tender conversation, we talk about the quiet coexistence of grief and joy, endometriosis, infertility into motherhood, body image after pregnancy, answered prayers, and what motherhood means on the other side of longing. If you’re navigating timelines, trust, or the tension of “both/and,” this one will gently hold you. This is Dirty Laundry with Ollie. And together, we are healing out loud.
