Episode Description: This week, we’re sitting down with someone Christina has known since first grade — Lauren McBride. Lauren has been building her platform for over 15 years, growing a family while growing a business and evolving in real time alongside her audience. In this first part of our two-part conversation, we go back to the beginning — who she was before the brand, what it looked like to build a business while raising young children, and the pressure of becoming the primary financia...
Episode Description: This week, we’re joined by Olga Nelaj — nurse, skincare expert, and founder of ON SkinCare — to talk about what actually makes a difference when it comes to aging well. From bespoke European facials to microneedling, peels, lasers, and injectables, this conversation goes beyond trends and into long-term skin health. Olga shares what truly ages skin, how to think about collagen loss, when devices matter, and why your daily habits matter more than any single treatment. If y...
Episode Description: Episode 50. 💗 We couldn’t think of a better way to mark this milestone than by saying the quiet parts out loud. In this episode, we unpack the topics women think about constantly but rarely say — not because they don’t matter, but because we’re afraid of how we’ll be perceived. Ungrateful. Lazy. Privileged. Needy. Doing life wrong. From hiring help and the quiet math of motherhood… to money habits without sharing numbers… to sex, resentment, body image, jealousy, and iden...
Episode Description: In this episode, Christina Tarabishy and Kristina “T” Bontempo sit down with Samantha Yanks — former fashion editor who worked at Vogue, Oprah Magazine, and served as Editor-in-Chief of Hamptons Magazine. Now the founder of The Connecticut Edit, Samantha shares the evolution of her career and what led her to build a platform rooted in taste, trust, and community. Together, they talk about what it really means to be a tastemaker (not just an influencer), how to know ...
Episode Description: In this episode, we talk about the shift that happens when your family grows — especially going from one child to more. We explore why confidence may increase, but presence feels more divided, and how overstimulation often comes from emotional awareness rather than noise. This is a reflective conversation about split attention, quiet guilt, and learning to love inside the limits of time and energy. Key themes: Why love expands but time doesn’tThe emotional shift from excl...
Episode Description: You asked for more on friendships and we realized something important after our last episode. We barely talked about conflict. And in this season of life, that’s where the real work is. In this episode, we’re talking about why conflict in female friendships feels so charged, why discomfort isn’t the same thing as dysfunction, and what emotional maturity actually looks like when relationships get hard. This episode is about moving past “mean girl” narratives, learnin...

Lori brings a rare and valuable perspective to the table. As a leader at Hartford HealthCare, she supports teams, mentors women, and models what modern female leadership can look like inside the corporate world. At the same time, she’s navigating a new season of motherhood wi...
Episode Summary: We’re taking a break from new recordings this week and resharing one of our favorite and most downloaded guest episodes from the vault. Dr. Christine Lang was our very first guest, and this conversation laid a foundation we still reference. It felt like the right one to bring back as part of PIPA Rewind, it’s practical, grounding, and still incredibly relevant for the New Year as we reset routines, communicate better at home, and step into the year with more calm and in...
Episode Description: Christina and T recorded before the new year to look back at their founding year of Pretty in Pink Again. They talk about favorite moments, expectations versus the reality of starting a podcast, what building this show meant to them individually, and how professionally it shifted them in ways they didn’t fully see coming. They reflect on the importance of the PIPA community that grew alongside the show, and share the habits that genuinely supported their lives in 2025, pl...
Episode Description: In this honest and deeply relatable episode, we sit down with Kelley Biskupiak — a coach, educator, speaker, and co-founder of Prepare to Launch U — to talk about the moment so many women hit in mid-life. Kelley has spent over 15 years helping women navigate career pivots, re-entry, and reinvention after seasons of caregiving, burnout, or living by everyone else’s expectations. Her work centers on helping women reclaim clarity, confidence, and the role of visionary in the...
Episode Description: In this episode of Pretty in Pink Again, we sit down with longtime creator and entrepreneur Jennifer Palpallatoc of Haute Off The Rack for a conversation that feels equal parts grounding, heartfelt, and life-giving. Jenn has been in the influencer space for over a decade, and her journey reflects what it looks like to grow alongside real life. We talk about building a brand that evolves organically, welcoming family into your work, and how her mom’s joyful, viral presence...
Episode Description: This week, we’re breaking down something almost all women feel during the holiday season but rarely talk about: the quiet panic that hits the second you walk into a party. That moment when you suddenly notice your outfit, hair, body, voice — all of it. We open with the Invisible Guest Theory, a piece of wisdom that instantly shifts the pressure we put on ourselves in social settings. We walk through the biology behind social anxiety, why moms feel it even more, and what a...
Episode Description: Today we’re unpacking one of the most universal experiences for women: the tangled line between who we are and the roles we perform. Somewhere between motherhood, partnership, work, friendship, caretaking, and being the default emotional manager of every space we enter, many of us start to feel like our identity is buried underneath our responsibilities. This conversation goes deep into why so many women wake up wondering, “Do I even know myself outside of what ever...
Episode Description: Today’s episode is short and sweet — a tiny Thanksgiving moment between the two of us. No outline, no deep dive, and no Pink Spotlight this week. Just a real conversation about what we’re grateful for both personally and professionally. We talked about how this year has pushed us, grounded us, and connected us in ways we never imagined. And most of all, we talked about you — this growing, warm, funny, supportive community that has become the heartbeat of Pretty in Pink Ag...
✨ Episode Summary Today, we’re laughing our way through the emotional theme park that is family life. One minute your kid is having the best day ever, and 90 seconds later you’re Googling “urgent care near me.” Husbands? They’re on their own quiet roller coaster, just moving a little slower while sometimes creating more chaos. In this episode, we talk about: Why kids flip moods like light switchesHow moms become the designated emotional thermostatPeak joy followed immediately by dramatic tear...
Episode Description: This week, we’re talking about the side of the holidays no one puts on the family cards. The joy, yes — but also the pressure, the mental load, and that feeling like moms are the ones holding the glitter-covered ship together. We dig into family expectations, hosting anxiety, the gift-giving spiral, and the myth of the perfect magical Christmas. We also talk about what our kids actually remember, how to set boundaries without guilt, and the small ways we’re simplifying th...
Episode Description: Somewhere between building careers, raising kids, and trying to stay human, a lot of us quietly lost our hobbies. The things we used to do just because we loved them slowly disappeared — replaced by productivity, parenting, and a to-do list that never quits. This episode was inspired by a conversation with our friend and former guest, Lauren Roscoff, who shared how easy it is to pour all of your creativity into work and family and realize you don’t actually have hobbies a...
Episode Description: Today we're getting real about comparison... the kind that creeps in while scrolling, the kind that shows up in motherhood, and the quiet moments when your life looks polished online but feels messy in real life. We’re breaking down: Why we curate and what we keep offlineWhen comparison can actually inspire youMom comparison, identity shifts, and career comparisons SAHM and "Working" mom comparisonsLiving life vs documenting itAnd how to trust your own timeline again...
Episode Summary In this episode, Christina and Kristina finally dive into a topic that’s been sitting on their “someday” list for a while: marriage after kids. Specifically, how it feels from the woman’s point of view—when you’re in the thick of raising little ones, running a household, and trying to hold on to yourself and your partnership at the same time. Christina shares what it’s like being in the toddler trenches with two kids under four, and T reflects on how things have shifted now th...
Episode Description: If you’ve ever wondered whether your forgetfulness, constant overwhelm, or racing thoughts are just part of motherhood—or something more—this episode is for you. Dr. Fiona Kehoe, a Connecticut-based licensed psychologist with over 25 years of experience, joins us to unpack the truth about ADHD in women and moms.
