    Ep. 37 - Mother of Only Boys: The MOOB Identity, Community & Connection | Michaelan Mena

    What does it really mean to be a MOOB — a Mother Of Only Boys? In this special episode of The MOOBment Podcast, Laurie Ann sits down with fellow MOOB Michaelan Mena for an honest, funny, and heartfelt conversation about all things MOOB. From the unique experience of raising only sons to the ways being a MOOB shapes our identity, our relationships, and even how we see ourselves, this is one of those conversations that will have fellow MOOBs nodding along and saying, “Yes! Exactly!” But this episode isn’t only for MOOBs. It’s also for the husbands, partners, friends, daughters-in-law, sisters, mothers, and anyone else who loves a Mother Of Only Boys and wants to understand her a little better. What makes the MOOB experience different? Why do we feel such an immediate connection to one another? And why does having a community of women who truly “get it” matter so much? Laurie Ann and Michaelan talk about the joys, challenges, humor, emotions, misconceptions, and unexpected moments that come with raising only boys — and why creating a place for MOOBs to find one another is at the heart of The MOOBment. If you’re a MOOB, you’ll relate. If you’re not, come listen anyway. You just might understand us a whole lot better by the end.

    Ep. 30 - Danielle Brown Healthy Girl Kitchen: Motherhood, Business & Boy Mom Life

    In this episode of The MOOBment, we sit down with Danielle Brown, founder of Healthy Girl Kitchen, for a candid conversation that goes far beyond the recipes and reels you've come to know her for. Danielle opens up about the childhood experiences that shaped her relationship with food and family, the origin story behind building Healthy Girl Kitchen from the ground up, and how she's navigating motherhood while running a thriving business in the public eye. We talk about what it really takes to turn a passion project into a brand people trust, the lessons she's learned along the way, and how motherhood has changed both her perspective and her priorities. Danielle brings the same honesty and warmth to this conversation that her audience knows her for — no filters, no polish, just real talk about the messy, rewarding work of building something meaningful while raising a family. As always, we close out the episode with our MOOB Mail segment, where we put subscriber-submitted questions directly to Danielle.  Danielle answers them with the same candor she brings to the rest of the conversation. Whether you're a longtime follower of Healthy Girl Kitchen, a mom building her own business, someone interested in vegan or healthy food and recipes, or a fellow Mother Of Only Boys (MOOB) looking for community and honest conversation, this episode has something for you.
