    Is it me or is it my cycle?

    This episode is for every mom who has ever woken up, looked in the mirror, and thought, okay… is this hormones or is this just my life now?  We’re talking periods, bloating, breakouts, mood swings, exhaustion, all of it. One week we feel glowy and confident and productive, and the next week we’re pale, puffy, irrationally irritated, and wondering why our jeans suddenly feel disrespectful. And somehow in the middle of that we’re expected to be calm, patient, and emotionally stable for our kids. and.....It’s a lot. We’re also being honest about the things we do to feel better. The “maybe I just need a tan.” The mascara therapy. The “if I lose five pounds I’ll feel normal again” spiral. The quick fixes we know aren’t always great but feel like something we can control. And can we talk about nursing? Because yes.....it’s beautiful. It’s bonding. It’s sacred. And also… my boobs after multiple kids? Not the same. No one prepares you for loving your body and grieving it at the exact same time. And the truth is, underneath all of it, we’re just trying to hold it together. We want to feel strong and feminine and attractive, not bloated and invisible. We want to show up as the best version of ourselves for our families without completely losing ourselves in the process. So we’re talking hormones, menopause eventually coming for all of us, body changes, confidence, and what actually helps versus what just temporarily distracts us. It’s real, it’s unfiltered, and it’s the conversation we all need but don’t always say out loud.

    Type A; Type B: Mom Edition

    In this episode of The Mom Salon, we’re breaking down personality types Type A, Type B, Z and all the gray areas in between and talking about how becoming a mom can totally flip the script. Were you always the organized, color-coded calendar mom? Or the go-with-the-flow, “we’ll figure it out” type… until kids forced you to pick a lane? With a therapist’s perspective and the kind of talk that happens in a hairdresser’s chair, we explore how stress, responsibility, and mental load can push Type B moms into Type A habits (and vice versa), how our personalities show up in parenting, partnerships, and friendships, and why there’s no “right” way to be wired as a mom. If you’ve ever wondered why you feel more controlling, more chill, or just different than you used to, this episode will make you feel seen, validated, and maybe laugh a little at how motherhood rewires us all.

    Less is More

    In this week’s episode, we’re catching up on life lately and talking openly about the pressure that starts to build as the holidays get closer. We break down how to stay centered when the season feels demanding, and why choosing contentment over comparison can change the entire tone of this time of year. We also share the birthday and holiday traditions we do with our kids, the simple ones that create consistency and connection without adding stress. It’s a real, honest conversation about finding steadiness during a season that asks a lot of moms.

    In Our Feelings

    This week, we’re getting all in our feelings — about motherhood, the holidays, and the tender space of realizing we’re done having babies… even when part of us never truly feels done.  We talk about the mix of nostalgia and acceptance that comes with closing that chapter, and how the holidays can stir it all up — the gratitude, the chaos, the longing, and the love. We share what it’s like to wish we could go back and mother our older kids with the wisdom and calm we have now, while learning to lean into who we’re becoming in this next season of motherhood. It’s real, emotional, and exactly what so many of us are feeling right now.

    The Aftermath: Peace, Power, and a little bit of Guilt

    This week on The Mom Salon, we’re diving into what really happens after you set a boundary. Following up on last week's episode, we’re exploring the emotional aftermath—yes, the guilt may show up, but so do peace, confidence, and a deep sense of empowerment. We’re unpacking how holding your ground can feel uncomfortable at first, but ultimately creates the space for healthier relationships and a more grounded version of yourself. It’s not just about drawing lines—it’s about choosing peace for you and your family.
