Motherish

Motherhood changes us in so many ways, but sometimes it's hard to tell what's normal and what might be a sign that we need more support.

Is it the mental load? Stress? Anxiety? Or simply the reality of raising children?

This week on Motherish, we're joined by therapist Jordan Dooley for an honest conversation about maternal mental health, learning to recognize when overwhelm has become too much and how to know when it's time to ask for help. We talk about anxiety, stress, burnout, self-compassion and why seeking support is a sign of strength, not failure.

If you've ever found yourself wondering, "Is this just motherhood?" this episode is for you.

Before becoming moms, we all had ideas about what motherhood would look like.

We thought we'd never hand over the iPad at a restaurant. We thought our kids would eat whatever we cooked. We thought we'd have a routine, a clean house and somehow still find time for ourselves.

Then motherhood happened.

This week on Motherish, we're unpacking the motherhood myths we believed before having kids and the truths we've discovered along the way. From screen time and sleep schedules to identity, friendship and mom guilt, we're separating expectation from reality and laughing at just how wrong we were about some things.

We spend so much time talking about age gaps in relationships, but what about friendships?

In this episode of Motherish, we're exploring the beautiful, unexpected friendships that happen between moms of different ages and life stages. Whether your closest mom friend is 10 years older, 15 years younger or somewhere in between, these relationships often bring wisdom, fresh perspectives and a reminder that motherhood connects us far more than age ever could.

This week on Motherish, we’re joined by entrepreneur, content creator and media veteran Paula Zelaya.

After spending more than 20 years in media, Paula took everything she learned about storytelling, connection and leadership and turned it into something even bigger: a thriving community of women.

In this episode, we talk about resilience, reinvention and the power of community. Paula shares her journey from media professional to founder, what inspired her to create spaces where women feel seen and supported, and why connection is more important than ever.

Pamela has officially reached the point where every conversation somehow circles back to "Off Campus." Karen cannot understand the obsession. Pamela cannot understand how Karen is not watching.

So naturally, we had to dedicate an entire episode to it.

This week on Motherish, we’re diving into why so many millennial moms are completely hooked on "Off Campus." Is it the nostalgia? The teen drama? The emotional support characters? The escape from real life? Probably all of the above.

From teenie-bopper energy to full-blown emotional investment, we unpack why this show has moms everywhere staying up too late, texting their friends theories and feeling entirely too attached to fictional teenagers.
