  • Updated Weekly

Lo Bosworth Natale spent years studying what women's bodies actually need as the the founder and CEO of Love Wellness, a women’s health brand sold at Target, Ulta, Walmart, and CVS. Then she got pregnant and realized she didn’t know anything about this next part. Tell Me I’m a Good Mom is not a parenting podcast. It’s what happens when the woman who built the wellness brand becomes the case study, and she’s figuring it out in public, one episode at a time. Identity shifts, medical honesty, postpartum moments that don’t make the grid, and the conversations women are having in private but not out loud. New episodes every Wednesday. Come back weekly, it’s still unfolding. Tell Me I’m a Good Mom is part of the Dear Media podcast network.

    Q+A: When The Medical System Fails Us

    This week I'm answering your Group Chat questions on the medical care gap for women. It's real, we all experience it, it's not your doctor's fault (but maybe sometimes it is - I have personally experienced that before), and IT SUCKS. The system should do better and today I'm getting into all of it from how to get your doctor to take you seriously, to gaps in postpartum care, to how we need to be paying more attention to Dad's mental state. I got hundreds of inbound questions and stories on this topic and this episode is a must listen.  — Sponsors: Visit www.hatch.co/baby to learn more about Hatch Baby, or find Hatch Baby on Amazon, Target and Babylist registries.

  2. Surprise! This is Motherhood, lol ft. Cameron Oaks Rogers

    Surprise! This is Motherhood, lol ft. Cameron Oaks Rogers

    This week, I'm joined by Cameron Oakes Rogers (aka Freckled Foodie) for a conversation that felt less like a podcast and more like the group chat every new mom wishes she had. We talk about the parts of motherhood nobody really prepares you for: postpartum depression, intrusive thoughts, identity shifts, medical trauma, the shock of pregnancy, and the reality of bringing a baby home when everyone seems focused on the baby—but not on you. Cam shares her experience with postpartum depression after her first child, why her second postpartum experience was completely different, and what changed. I open up about my own postpartum depression, the complications surrounding my delivery, and the lingering questions that come with medical trauma after birth. We also get into the massive gaps in postpartum care, why women are still left piecing together so much information on their own, and the pressure to have the "right" motherhood experience when the truth is that every journey looks different. And because no mom conversation is complete without it, we answer your questions about mom friendships, mom cliques, and the baby products we actually think are worth buying (and the ones we absolutely don't). If you've ever found yourself wondering, "Is this normal?"—this episode is for you. Topics include: Postpartum depression and anxiety Intrusive thoughts and maternal mental health Pregnancy expectations vs. reality Medical trauma after birth Why postpartum care is still failing women The identity shift of becoming a mother Mom friendships and social pressure Baby products worth the money (and what to skip) Because women deserve the truth about motherhood—and nobody should have to figure it out alone.

  3. Doing It Alone: Huda Mustafa on Single Motherhood, Fame, and Why You Get to Come First Too

    Doing It Alone: Huda Mustafa on Single Motherhood, Fame, and Why You Get to Come First Too

    Huda Mustafa is one of the most fun hangs I've had on the show. This week we get into all of it: becoming a mom young at 19 and single motherhood, the wild ride to fame, and what it's actually like to figure yourself out with the entire internet watching. It's honest and real — but mostly, it's just a blast. Then I open up The Group Chat to answer your questions about doing it alone in every sense. The literal kind, like how a new mom is even supposed to start dating again. And the sneaky kind — the mom who has a partner and somehow still feels like she's running the whole show solo. The thread tying it all together: making time for yourself isn't selfish. It's the whole point of how you make motherhood really work. — Sponsors: Rythm: Right now, Rythm is offering our listeners 15% off your first month and free shipping at https://rythm.health/goodmom Bon Charge: Go to https://boncharge.com and use code GOODMOM to save 15% 📺 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@lobosworth 📖 Newsletter: https://substack.com/@lobosworth 🛍️ Love Wellness: https://lovewellness.com 📱 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lobosworth 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lobosworth — Tell Me I'm a Good Mom is part of the Dear Media podcast network.

  4. Is Walking Away The Best Mom Move? ft. Hannah Bronfman

    May 27

    Is Walking Away The Best Mom Move? ft. Hannah Bronfman

    A few months postpartum with her daughter Claude, Hannah Bronfman folded a $40 million venture fund she'd spent two years raising. In this episode, she tells me exactly why, and the answer is not what I expected. We talk about what it means to walk away from something you spent two years on. About the moment your body starts telling you a job is wrong, and what it takes to actually listen. About fundraising as a woman investing in women's health in a market that quietly killed the girl boss. About being a wellness founder and not always feeling well, and the weird specific trap of selling health while privately falling apart. If you don't know Hannah, she's a wellness entrepreneur, investor, mom of two, and one of seven women starring in The CEO Club on Prime Video. She founded Beautified, has been creating on the internet for fifteen years, and is also one of my real life friends. We're both two-time IVF moms, so this one wanders. We get into peptides and the article that found lead in injectables. Progesterone shots and the hives she got on her butt. Whether you should put your kids on the internet, and what happens when one of them goes missing at preschool (it was a braid, not a child, relax). But the part I keep thinking about is the bigger question underneath all of it. Sometimes the version of success you've been chasing is the one quietly pulling you away from your kids. And walking away isn't failure. It's the mom move. Hit follow wherever you're listening, and I'll see you next week. — Sponsors: Hatch: Visit www.hatch.co/baby to learn more about Hatch Baby, or find Hatch Baby on Amazon, Target and Babylist registries.

  5. Why Emily Oster Breastfed When Her Data Says Formula Is Fine

    May 20

    Why Emily Oster Breastfed When Her Data Says Formula Is Fine

    If you read Crib Sheet during pregnancy or kept Expecting Better on your nightstand, you already know Emily Oster. She's the economist who reads the parenting studies the rest of us pretend to. The one who told a whole generation of women, with actual data, that we could relax about a lot of things we had been losing sleep over. I've been a fan for years. So when I got to sit down with her, I asked her every question I've had since I gave birth. We got into the breastfeeding thing. The part where she'll tell you formula is fine, and she'll also tell you she breastfed her own daughter and worked too hard at it because the pressure got to her too. We got into sleep training, and why a lot of the loudest voices yelling about it online happen to have a sleep course to sell. We got into the fact that one woman alone in a house with a newborn was never how this was supposed to work, and yet that's somehow the standard we're all being measured against. She also has a new book out called The Unexpected, about pregnancy after complications, which I have a lot of feelings about because that was my pregnancy too. If you've been quietly carrying guilt about how the early days went, or you're about to be in the early days, this one is for you. — Sponsors: Hatch: Visit www.hatch.co/baby to learn more about Hatch Baby, or find Hatch Baby on Amazon, Target and Babylist registries.

  6. 7 Kids, 4 Baby Daddies, And One Of Them Lives Next Door, With The OG Teen Mom Kailyn Lowry

    May 13

    7 Kids, 4 Baby Daddies, And One Of Them Lives Next Door, With The OG Teen Mom Kailyn Lowry

    I have one baby. Kailyn Lowry has seven. So obviously the first thing I asked her was how the f*ck her body has done that. I've been a Kailyn girly since the original Teen Mom days, so sitting across from her felt like a full circle moment from my own MTV era. Bonus: within thirty seconds we'd figured out she was a Laguna girly too. Match made in heaven. Kailyn has been a person in public since she was 17. Most of the women she came up with on MTV aren't here anymore. Kailyn is. She has millions of followers online, has built three podcasts, a podcast network, a book club, a publishing imprint, and a physical sports business in Delaware while raising seven kids with five different men. She also lives next door to one of her exes. They share a driveway. He can see into her kitchen window. Yes I asked her what that's like. We get into the baby daddy speed round (one word per ex, you're welcome), how she found out about the cheating on TikTok and turned the whole thing into a three-part Patreon special because everybody else was profiting off her pain so why wouldn't she, the c-section shelf, the beads she bought at Hobby Lobby because of her ADHD, and why she has to apply a full year in advance to move out of Delaware. Kailyn is one of the sharpest business minds I've sat across from. She also might be a little unhinged in the best possible way. Buckle up for a fantastic convo.

  7. Dr. Becky On Why Becoming A Mom Isn't Actually About Your Baby

    May 6

    Dr. Becky On Why Becoming A Mom Isn't Actually About Your Baby

    I cried in the back of an Uber after my first dinner out post-baby. I'd had one and a half martinis (a mistake), I'd left my husband at home with the baby (he was thrilled for me to go), and I felt so guilty I genuinely couldn't stop sobbing. Mom guilt, right? That's what we'd call it. Except according to Dr. Becky Kennedy, clinical psychologist, founder of Good Inside, and probably the most followed parenting expert on the planet, what I was feeling probably wasn't actually guilt at all. It was something else, and almost nobody talks about it. This week she sat down with me to talk about the weeks of motherhood nobody warns you about. Why your thoughts the first weeks postpartum are mostly about you, not your baby (and why that's normal, not a character flaw). Why intrusive thoughts about your baby are a sign of how much you love them, not a sign you're dangerous. Why the doer identity you bring into motherhood is going to crash, and what to do when it does. Plus the reframe she dropped at the end of our conversation that I haven't stopped thinking about since: the sentence that starts with "I'm a good mom who..." and how it changes everything.

  8. Community Episode: The Part Before The Baby

    Community Episode: The Part Before The Baby

    Welcome to the first community episode of Tell Me I'm A Good Mom. I read hundreds of stories that came in through the Q+A form, and the theme I couldn't stop reading was the part of motherhood that happens years before the baby arrives. The IVF cycles. The miscarriages. The diagnoses that blindside you. The appointments where a doctor asks you a question you don't have the vocabulary for yet. In this episode I share three community stories with permission. Sherri, on seven IVF cycles and signing surrogacy papers in Mexico City at thirty-nine. Meghan, on a gestational diabetes diagnosis, a uterine infection after birth, and an OB phone call a week postpartum telling her half of her placenta was scar tissue. And Krystal, who miscarried alone in Cancún at a meditation retreat and chose radical openness on the other side of it. I answer three listener questions, including one on vaginal microbiome health and fertility that is the reason I started Love Wellness ten years ago. If you are in the middle of any of this, I hope this one finds you. Follow the show, and if you want to submit for the next one, the form is in my Instagram highlights.
