  2. IVF, Surrogacy and the Journey to Motherhood at 47

    DEC 11

    IVF, Surrogacy and the Journey to Motherhood at 47

    On this week’s episode, we’re joined by mama and singer Julie Mintz, whose path to her daughter Ophelia is nothing short of extraordinary. Decade-old frozen eggs, shocking lab errors, surrogacy setbacks, countless retrievals, and the discovery that she and her husband were both genetic carriers for the same disease. Then came HOPE in the form of one healthy embryo. One tiny maybe. At 47, she welcomed her baby Ophelia and turned her own miracle into a mission, offering financial support to help other families grow. It’s a story that is at times harrowing and frustrating, and one that captures the real-world courage behind so many fertility journeys.

    Birthing Lotus Bloom: Teresa’s 5th birth story

    Lotus Bloom’s Birth Story In this very special episode, Teresa recounts the homebirth of her 5th baby, Lotus Bloom. From the wild chaos in the days leading up to labour to a last-minute pivot (and then a re-pivot!) in her birth plans and then getting sick right before the big day (it was a faaar from smooth lead up!) She also recounts the long stretches of prodromal labour, the rituals and tools that carried her through contractions and the funny and unexpected moments along the way.  Tez also talks about getting into a super psychedelic state she as labour deepened, the profound joy of having all of her children present to witness their sister’s arrival and the magical moment she discovered her baby was a she!! This is Teresa’s full, minute-by-minute retelling of Lotus’s birth, truly the birth of her dreams. This episode is proudly sponsored by Hungryroot, Osea, Acorns Early and Boll & Branch!

    Birthing Aurora: a first birth story with Laura May

    This week, Tez and Sarah sit down with one of Tez’s Byron Bay gal pals, the luminous Laura May; mama and founder/creative director of the beloved brand Nagata. Laura shares how she worked with the universe to call in the divine timing of her daughter’s conception, what her first pregnancy was like, and the wild ride that was her maiden birth. From a planned homebirth that became a transfer to navigating a long, stop/start posterior labour, Laura opens up about how she anchored herself in acceptance, surrender, and trust as her birth plan shifted. We dive into the few day marathon, the mystical moments, the messy bits, and the transformation that unfolds when a woman meets her edge. It’s raw, magical, and deeply relatable, a story for anyone who’s ever birthed a baby, birthed themselves, or surrendered to a timeline bigger than their own.

    Postpartum Wellness, Universe Winks & Our Exciting New Venture

    This week on The Mother Daze, we are deep-diving into everything, in the most delightfully all-over-the-place way that only we can. Teresa gives the inside scoop on her brand-new movie, we share the messy/heart-bursting updates from our weeks, and we finally reveal our next big adventure: the Dazey Women’s Circle is officially launching! Spots are teeny-tiny, so if you feel the nudge to join… follow it, babesss.  Sarah also shares the wild astrology reading she had and the signs, and cosmic breadcrumbs guiding her into the new year. And together we reflect on this past year: the growth, the grief, the hilarity, and the ways motherhood has shape-shifted us once again. Plus we talk the real postpartum stuff, staying well when you’re time-poor, movement that actually feels supportive, supplements we love, and the micro-rituals that keep us tethered when life feels like a tumble dryer!!!

    The Family Flow Episode: Chores, Chaos & Connection

    This week on The Mother Daze, we dive headfirst into the wild (and occasionally sticky) world of keeping a household semi-functional, with boobies out, chores flying, and dogs eating things they definitely shouldn’t. From getting kids to clean up without it turning into a hostage situation to our genius 30-minute chore rule that actually works, we’re unpacking what it takes to raise capable, grounded kids and still keep your sanity. We chat birth order and personalities (why your firstborn is a mini-CEO while your youngest is living their best feral life), plus how to build a functional rhythm between family members so the whole house runs more on teamwork and less on tears!!

    Pelvic Floor 101: Healing, Strength, and Support with Dr. Allison Oswald

    In this episode, we’re diving deep (literally and figuratively!) into one of the most important yet often misunderstood parts of our bodies: the pelvic floor. Joining us is the incredible Dr. Allison Oswald, a pelvic health specialist who helps women reconnect to their bodies through every stage of pregnancy, birth, and beyond. We unpack what the pelvic floor actually is, why it deserves your attention (hint: it does way more than just hold things in place), and how to support and strengthen it through mindful movement, breathwork, and awareness. We also talk about healing after birth, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, including ways to process and care for yourself after birth trauma. This episode couldn’t have come at a better time it was recorded it just days before Teresa gave birth, and she ended up using many of Dr. Oswald’s techniques during her own postpartum recovery!

    Saying Her Name with Joy - Lindzi Scharf on Motherhood, Grief, and Evan’s Light

    This week, we sit down with writer, producer, essayist and friend Lindzi Scharf (whose work has appeared in The New York Times and The Hollywood Reporter no less!) Lindzi opens up about her journey through motherhood, grief, and joy. She shares the story of her daughter Evan, whose bright light continues to shape her family’s world, and her son Reed, who carries that light forward. We talk about what it means to hold space for both heartbreak and happiness, the beautiful complexity of being a “medical mom,” and the lessons in presence that Evan left behind. From IVF and resilience to laughter and letting go of labels, Lindzi reminds us that people are not their diagnoses and that saying our children’s names with love keeps them alive in the most powerful way.

She even does a live tarot reading for us that delivered some huge “OMG did that seriously just happen?!” moments.
