    A Lighter, Happier Mom Life with Allie Mann of Moonlight Cannabis

    In this episode, I sit down with Allie Mann, founder of Moonlight Cannabis, for an honest and refreshing conversation about cannabis, motherhood, and breaking the stigma. We cover it all—how Allie entered the cannabis space, the differences between cannabis, marijuana, weed, and THC, the many ways you can consume it, and how functional adaptogens are being added to create a more balanced experience. Allie’s story is personal. As a mom to an autistic son, she found herself searching for something to take the edge off during a challenging season of parenting—not to escape, but to feel a little lighter, a little happier. If society has embraced the “wine mom” culture, why do we still whisper about cannabis? We’re not walking around stoned; we’re simply finding small ways to feel more present, calm, and joyful. This episode is for the curious, the open-minded, and the moms who want to feel good without the guilt.

    Threading Trends with Madeline Nachbar - The Jelly Shoes

    In this episode, MSP Magazine Trend and Style Editor Madeline Nachbar returns for a refreshingly real conversation that veers from our usual fashion talk. Madeline opens up about parenting in the thick of the toddler years with her spirited little one—who just so happens to remind Amy a lot of her own oldest at that age. You know what they say: little kids, little problems… big kids, big problems. Of course, we couldn’t resist diving back into style. We unpack the issue with micro trends and how social media has sped up the cycle in ways that make personal style harder to navigate. Amy showed up in her jelly shoes that Madeline swore she'd never rock in a previous episode proving that you can opt-in or out of any of the seasons hottest trends. This episode is for any parent riding the wild waves of early childhood and anyone navigating a changing relationship with style.

    The Truth Will Set You Free with Kate Lasher

    In this powerful and vulnerable episode of A Common Thread, Amy reconnects with former colleague and friend Kate Lasher. The two met when Amy hired Kate to help build a new business function at her last corporate job — a chapter of their lives marked by shared professional trauma that they never fully unpacked… until now. For the first time in seven years, Amy and Kate dive into the emotional residue of that experience, including the guilt Amy carried for not recognizing what Kate was going through behind the scenes. But this episode goes far beyond the workplace. Kate opens up about her journey of self-discovery — coming out as a lesbian at 30, after years of trying to convince herself that everything in her marriage to a man was “fine,” even though something felt deeply off. This is a conversation about truth, courage, and what it means to stop going through the motions of a life you think you "should" live and start living life fully aligned with who you are. If you’ve ever felt like you were hiding parts of yourself or wondering what might happen if you stopped pretending and started telling the truth — to yourself and to others — this episode is for you.

Now, through her deeply personal Authentic Self Portrait Project, Erica is creating space for others to do the same—to be seen as they truly are.
