The Mami Collective is a podcast for ambitious moms navigating motherhood, work, money, and identity without guilt, shame, or sugarcoating. Hosted by radio personality and mom Paulina Roe, this show is real talk for women who refuse to disappear inside motherhood. We talk about what actually happens after the baby arrives: the career shifts, the identity cracks, the ambition that doesn’t go away, and the pressure to be everything to everyone. This podcast is for working moms, entrepreneurial moms, creative moms, and moms who want more—more clarity, more agency, more honesty—without apologizing for it. Each week, The Mami Collective features unfiltered conversations with moms, founders, creators, and culture-shapers who are building lives that work for them. Women who are setting boundaries, unlearning people-pleasing, navigating money and power, and redefining success on their own terms. We talk about the things moms are actually dealing with: Burnout, mental load, and nervous system overloadIdentity loss (and rebuilding yourself after kids)Money, ambition, and career growth in motherhoodBoundaries, self-worth, and saying no without guiltChoosing yourself without apology This is not a “perfect mom” podcast. This is not advice wrapped in clichés. And it’s definitely not about shrinking yourself for the sake of motherhood. The Mami Collective is a space for honesty, clarity, and support, without judgment. Every episode is designed to leave you feeling seen, validated, and more grounded in who you are and where you’re going. If you’re navigating motherhood and ambition, rebuilding your identity after kids, or tired of spaces that tell moms to sacrifice everything-you’re in the right place. New episodes drop weekly.

    You Shouldn’t Have to Struggle First: Taking Control of Your Fertility with Dr. Roohi Jeelani

    Fertility care often begins only after something goes wrong-but Dr. Roohi Jeelani believes women deserve answers long before they’re forced to struggle. In this episode, Dr. Roohi shares her deeply personal journey from being diagnosed with PCOS at 14 to becoming a fertility specialist, navigating infertility herself, and building the kind of patient-centered practice she once needed. We discuss why the fertility care system can feel so reactive, when women should seek testing, the truth about “unexplained infertility”, and how to protect your peace throughout the process. Dr. Roohi also opens up about motherhood, building Onto Health, leaning on her village, and accepting that you won’t be the perfect mom, doctor, and CEO all on the same day. Whether you’re trying to conceive, thinking about your future, or simply want to understand your body better, this conversation is a reminder that you shouldn’t have to struggle first to start taking control of your fertility.

    How to Find Your Personal Style Again After Motherhood with Vany Hernandez

    If you’ve ever stood in front of a closet full of clothes and still felt like you had absolutely nothing to wear, this episode is for you. Paulina sits down with style coach and mom of two Vany Hernandez to talk about why so many women lose touch with their personal style after motherhood-and how to find it again without changing everything overnight or spending a fortune. Vany explains how your wardrobe should evolve as your body, lifestyle, career, and identity change. She shares the signs that your closet may no longer be serving the woman you are today, the staple pieces busy moms can build outfits around, and simple ways to shop more intentionally on a realistic budget. They also talk about getting caught in the comparison trap, investing in the right basics, and why feeling good in your clothes can change how confidently you show up. Because rediscovering your style isn’t about becoming who you were before kids. It’s about dressing for (and celebrating) the woman you are now. Follow Vany on Instagram and Facebook at @StyleByVany

    How to Find the Support You Need as a Working Mom with Abbey Bigi-Prow of Le Village

    In this episode of The Mami Collective Podcast, Paulina sits down with Abbey, owner and director of Le Village Cowork Old Route 66, aka the woman who gave Paulina her time, sanity, and working-mom brain back. Abbey is a mom of twin boys, a photographer, a business owner, and a literal village-builder. After experiencing firsthand how hard it is to work, parent, create, and not completely spiral while doing it all, Abbey went from being a Le Village member to opening her own location for other families who needed the same kind of support. Paulina and Abbey talk about what working moms actually need, why flexible childcare matters, how community changes the motherhood experience, and why needing help does not make you less of a mom. They also get into boundaries, business ownership, mom guilt, raising confident kids, same-sex parenting, and building a life where your child is cared for and you get to be a whole person too. Imagine that. Revolutionary. This conversation is for the mom trying to answer emails while someone is asking for a snack, the mom who loves her kid deeply but also needs to use her brain, and the mom who is realizing she was never meant to do all of this alone. Because motherhood is not a solo sport. And honestly? It never should have been.

    The Only Person Standing In Your Way Is You (And I Say That With Love)

    Most moms think they're being held back by a lack of time, money, support, or opportunity. But what if the thing standing in your way is actually... you? In this episode, Paulina is serving a little tough love as she unpacks the hidden ways women keep themselves stuck. From overthinking and perfectionism to waiting for permission and wearing exhaustion like a badge of honor, she's calling out the excuses that sound responsible-but are really just fear in disguise. You'll learn: • Why confidence doesn't come before action • How fear disguises itself as being "practical" • The difference between preparation and procrastination • Why asking for help is a strength, not a weakness • The real cost of trying to do everything yourself • How to stop waiting for the perfect time and start moving forward If you've been putting off the business, the podcast, the content, the conversation, or the dream because you don't feel ready yet, this episode is your reminder that nobody feels ready. The women you admire aren't less scared than you. They just decided to move anyway. Because your next level isn't waiting for more confidence. It's waiting for more courage.
