Motherish

This week on Motherish, we’re joined by Latina entrepreneur and Venezuelan immigrant Mishell Thielen to talk about starting over, building a business from scratch and creating opportunities for others along the way.

Mishell shares her journey from working as a nanny and house cleaner to becoming a successful entrepreneur, launching a community for aspiring cleaning business owners and, most recently, creating her own plant-based cleaning brand, KLEENT.

We’re talking about resilience, entrepreneurship, motherhood and what it really takes to build something of your own.

What makes a friendship last? And what happens when you grow up and realize you’re not always growing in the same direction?

In this special Motherish episode inspired by DreamWorks Animation’s "Forgotten Island," Karen and Pamela are talking about the friendships that shape us, from the friends who first made us feel seen to the ones who become chosen family.

We’re getting into growing up together, attachment, jealousy, friendship breakups and those relationships that stay with us long after childhood. We’re also talking about the film’s themes of family, memory and finding your way back to the people who matter most.

Because motherhood may change so much about our lives, but those conversations about friendship? We could talk about those forever.

Sometimes you just have to say it: Respectfully... Motherish.

In this solo episode, Karen and Pamela are giving their honest takes on some of the everyday parenting debates that seem to have everyone talking. Goodie bags? Letting kids roam the neighborhood on their own? We’re getting into it all.

Inspired by the social media trend of saying “respectfully” right before saying something you probably shouldn’t, this is our version: two moms sharing their very Motherish opinions, respectfully, of course.

Come for the hot takes, stay for the conversation.

Jamie Kolnick, founder and CEO of Jam with Jamie, brings plenty of light, music and joy to the conversation as we talk about motherhood, entrepreneurship and the never-ending juggle of trying to do it all.

As a mom of three and a longtime entrepreneur, Jamie shares what she’s learned about building a business, raising a family, giving back and keeping all the balls in the air, usually with a good dose of humor along the way.

What happens when the life you built no longer feels aligned with the woman you’re becoming?

This week on Motherish, we’re joined by transformational coach and mom of two Vanessa Florio for a conversation about identity, motherhood and the process of finding your way back to yourself. We talk about personal evolution, manifestation and what it means to make space for the next version of you without losing the woman you’ve already become.

Because sometimes the life you want isn’t about starting over. It’s about becoming more fully yourself.
