    Black Excellence on a Disney Cruise: How Black Joy & Representation Are Built Into the Disney Destiny Experience

    In this episode of That Twin Mama Podcast, Lauren Berty reflects on her time aboard the Disney Destiny — a sailing that became a powerful reminder of what it feels like when representation is intentional, authentic, and fully woven into the experience from the very beginning. This isn’t a traditional Disney cruise review. It’s an honest conversation about Black joy, identity, motherhood, and how thoughtful storytelling can create spaces where Black families feel deeply seen — while also inviting everyone into richer, more meaningful experiences. Through conversations with Yolanda Cade, Vice President of Communications & Public Affairs for Disney Signature Experiences, and Corey J. Bradford, the actor portraying Hercules aboard Disney Destiny, Lauren explores how Black voices, culture, and excellence were intentionally embedded across entertainment, music, design, and service — not as a theme night or spotlight moment, but as an integral part of the ship’s soul. This episode is for parents raising children who deserve to see themselves reflected with power and pride, families navigating multiple generations together, moms rediscovering themselves beyond survival mode, and anyone who believes that inclusive storytelling doesn’t divide — it deepens the magic for everyone. In this episode, we explore:• How Black storytelling aboard Disney Destiny was intentionally designed, not added on • Why representation feels different when it’s authentic and deeply integrated • Seeing Black excellence reflected in Disney stories — from Pride Lands to Hercules • What it means for children to see themselves as heroes on the biggest stages • How inclusive design creates joy across generations • Why Disney Destiny felt like rest, healing, and affirmation — not just entertainment • The role storytelling plays in helping moms and families reconnect with themselves • Why spaces that honor culture make experiences richer for all guests Tags / Keywords#ThatTwinMama #DisneyDestiny #BlackExcellence Disney Destiny, Disney Cruise Line, Black representation, inclusive storytelling, Disney Hercules, Pride Lands Disney, Disney cruise with kids, Black motherhood, family travel with kids, parenting podcast, motherhood podcast, generational travel, mom mental load, healing for moms, inclusive family experiences, Disney storytelling, That Twin Mama Podcast Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/that-twin-mama-podcast/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    Why This Disney Destiny Cruise Was More Than a Vacation | Parenting, Joy, & Family Connection

    What happens when a family vacation becomes something much deeper? In this episode of That Twin Mama, Lauren reflects on a Disney Destiny cruise experience that unexpectedly became a moment of rest, gratitude, and reconnection after a challenging year. Rather than a traditional travel recap, this conversation explores parenting, mental load, generational joy, and what it feels like to finally be supported as a mom. Through candid conversations with her husband, her mother-in-law, and Disney hospitality and culinary leaders, Lauren shares how intentional design, thoughtful service, and family-first spaces allowed both parents and kids to truly enjoy the experience without rushing, apologizing, or managing every detail. This episode is for parents who feel tired, overwhelmed, or unsure whether real rest is even possible while traveling with kids, and for anyone navigating a season where joy feels hard to access. In this episode, we explore: • Why this Disney cruise felt like rest instead of “parenting in a different location” • How Disney Destiny is intentionally designed for families • Parenting, partnership, and reconnecting as a couple • The power of shared experiences across generations • Why reducing the mental load for moms matters • Practical Disney cruise tips for families • How food, service, and storytelling shape the experience • Choosing joy after a hard year, even when life isn’t perfect Chapters / Timestamps 00:00 Choosing Joy After a Hard Year 02:40 Why This Cruise Felt Different 07:50 Experiencing Disney Across Generations 14:00 Traveling With Kids Without Burnout 18:45 Food, Allergies & Family-Friendly Dining 22:30 When Parents Finally Feel Supported This episode isn’t a travel guide - it’s a reflection on parenting, presence, and choosing joy when life feels heavy. If this episode resonated with you, please let us know your favorite part - we’d love to hear what stood out!

    #91 The Momference Minis: Marissa Nelson on Sex After Kids and Keeping Play Alive

    This spring, That Twin Mama took her mic to The Momference® — the premier, three-day gathering for Black and Brown millennial moms, powered by District Motherhued®. In a weekend built to nourish, uplift, and celebrate #BlackMomMagic, Lauren sat down with powerhouse moms, thought leaders, and healers to bring you these bite-sized, heart-full episodes straight from the DC mom squad that’s rewriting what community care looks like. In this mini episode, Lauren cozies up with the brilliant Marissa Nelson — award-winning sex therapist and founder of IntimacyMoons Couples Retreats — for a real talk about sex after the babies arrive. From scheduling sex (yes, we’re doing it!) to non-sexual touch, awkward butt grabs, and why “playing” isn’t just for kids, they break down how modern couples can keep closeness, pleasure, and that delicious sense of anticipation alive — even when the house is chaotic and you’re all touched out. In this episode you’ll hear: Why scheduling sex isn’t unsexy — it’s survivalHow couples lose the “play” and how to get it backThe power of non-sexual touch and staying close when you’re exhaustedMarissa’s wisdom on making pleasure a priority, not a perk 💛 Marissa Nelson — Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT), Certified Sex Therapist (CST), Certified Sexuality Educator (CSE), and the genius behind IntimacyMoons Couples Retreats (as seen in The New York Times, Women’s Health, Fodor's Travel and more!).

    #90 The Momference Minis: Noémie Gaines on Harmony Over Balance, Soft Notes, & Finding Your Mom Tribe

    This spring, That Twin Mama took her mic to The Momference® — the premier, three-day gathering for Black and Brown millennial moms, powered by District Motherhued®. In a weekend built to nourish, uplift, and celebrate #BlackMomMagic, Lauren sat down with powerhouse moms, thought leaders, and healers to bring you these bite-sized, heart-full episodes straight from the DC mom squad that’s rewriting what community care looks like. In this mini episode, Lauren connects with longtime Momference attendee and digital storyteller Noémie Gaines — a former entertainment lawyer turned content creator and motherhood muse — for a conversation that gently challenges the myth of balance and embraces the freedom of harmony. Noémie shares how her family’s vlogging journey led to full-time work in the digital space, how she processes identity shifts in motherhood, and why she centers each day around how she wants to feel, not what she needs to do. They also talk about how The Momference helped Noémie build her DC village (even as a transplant!), what it’s like to show up authentically online, and how her “Soft Notes” series on YouTube and Substack models daily self-compassion in real time. In this episode you’ll hear: Why balance is a myth — and how Noémie uses harmony as a compassThe real talk behind identity shifts in motherhoodHow Momference became her chosen village (and Black mom Disney World!)Why daily rituals — like Soft Notes — are a form of nourishment too 💛 Noémie Gaines — wife, mama, content creator, and the voice behind Soft Notes on YouTube and Substack.
