Ready to rethink “post-baby body” without punishment or perfection? I sat down with friend, creator and mom of two, Alec Treffers, to map out the simple systems that helped her lose 18 pounds (in 4 months) after breastfeeding and—more importantly—maintain it while running a household and a growing brand. No extremes here: just clear goals, macro literacy, and a training split that builds strength and confidence. Alec breaks macros down to earth: why protein should match your body weight in g...
It's baby registry building time!! I can't believe I'm already at the point of seriously prepping for this baby but here we are. This might be my 3rd rodeo, but planning for this episode was the perfect refresher for me. I feel like with everything we see on social media and all of the targeted ads that come our way, we start to believe we need all of the latest and greatest baby items we come across... I've come to realize that less is truly more. I wanted to find a way to make the 'bu...
If the trying-to-conceive aisle has ever made you feel overwhelmed or alone, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. We sit down with Samantha Diamond—founder and CEO of Bird & Be—to unpack what it really takes to make fertility care clear, kind, and a shared journey between partners. Samantha opens up about an early PCOS diagnosis, a later miscarriage, and the isolation that followed—even with a fertility specialist at home. That lived experience led to a mission: bring the appro...
Sorry, but I definitely did not sign any approval form for my second trimester flying by that fast?! It’s funny- with your first, you’re counting down every single day until birth. By the third, you’re begging time to slow down… or is that just me?? Either way, I’m grateful to officially check off my second tri—it’s always been the easiest one in my book. I thought it’d be fun to bring you along for a little recap of the past few months: second-trimester milestones, tug-of-war emotions, some ...
We know it can feel like it...but desire didn’t disappear after having a baby—it just changed shape. I invited intimacy and relationship coach Karly Ryan to unpack why postpartum libido shifts, how maternal brain plasticity and hormones like prolactin reroute attention, and what it really takes to feel sensual again when you’re tired, touched out, and navigating a new identity. Using the lens of the maiden and mother archetypes, we talk about honoring both energies without pitting them agains...
Ladies, it's time we look at "fertility" as a life long discussion, not just one around the "trying to conceive" phase. Your period is a vital sign—and it’s time we treated it like one. So I invited double board‑certified reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Sasha Hackman on the pod this week to map the full arc of fertility and a women's reproductive health before thinking about kids, during the "trying" phase, & why it matters most even after having kids. We deep dive into what to track bef...
Happy 2026! If you felt like you hit a wall on January 1st instead of hitting the ground running, this episode is for you. I am planting my flag for the new year -- not with a list of aesthetic resolutions or pressure-filled goals, but with 10 Personal Non-Negotiables designed for a calmer, clearer, and more aligned year. In this solo episode, we ease into 2026 by ditching the "New Year, New Me" panic. I break down my personal standards for motherhood, partnerships, and ambition - inclu...
This week I’m sitting down with a very special (and pregnant!) friend — Sami Brooks — and this one felt like the kind of conversation that makes you exhale and go, okay… I’m not alone. We talk about what it really looks like to grow a family fast: deciding to go for babies close in age, a long labor that ended in a C-section, and the dream that had her convinced she was having a little girl. Sami shares how the hardest nights can either pull you apart or weld you together — and what it looks ...
The news is finally out, we’re having a baby girl & we are on cloud9! In this episode, I share the backstory behind our donut-box gender reveal and how an unexpected ultrasound slip changed our plan to wait until birth. Sometimes it’s the most simple, unplanned moments that bring the most joy, excitement & forever memories to our lives. • why we nixed our plan to wait to find out the gender until birth • how Scotty chose a simple, kid-centered reveal at home to surprise m...
Parenthood doesn’t ask for permission; it moves in, rearranges the furniture, and hands you a love so big it scares you. In this episode, we are getting cozy. Join Tayla Burke and Scotty McKnight (from the comfort of their bed) for a candid holiday conversation about the hard truths we tend to keep quiet: the guilt of craving a break, the ache of missing your kids while you’re gone, and the shock of realizing your heart now lives outside your body. We reflect on a recent day-date to Boulder, ...
Happy Holidays ladies!! I thought it would be fun to ring in the pre-holiday cheer by talking all things "traditions"- ones our family did when I was young, ones I've done since having kids & new traditions I'm starting this year to hopefully last decades to come. I talk about starting small and staying flexible—my goal of picking three to five traditions that travel well through busy seasons- because we do NOT need to try to do it all (us moms are superheroes regardless). I've learned ...
Surprise! You're getting not one but two episodes this week :) I'm back with a pt. 2 of an inside look at my first trimester! To be completely honest, weeks 9-13 truly had nothing on the previous ones- I was hit HARD to say the least. In this episode I spill on what felt like truly never-ending nausea and crippling migraines to primal cravings and restless dreams, mixed with the small comforts that made it all bearable. All I can say is gawd bless these days are behind me & if you're in t...
Ladies, this week I'm dropping TWO mini episodes diving into my first trimester, week by week- pfew I'm so glad those days are now just a distant memory. The earliest weeks can feel like a secret storm, so I'm opening my personal diary to show the weather. From the moment the test turned positive at four weeks, the symptoms arrived FAST—nausea out of nowhere, insomnia that almost nothing could solve, and a burst of anxiety fueled by dreams of twins (?!) I recall each week with honesty a...
Ep. 1: They say "never say never," but I really meant it when I said I was done at two kids. In the very first episode of The Milk, I’m spilling the biggest secret I’ve been keeping: I’m pregnant with Baby #3! Join me as I take you through the absolute chaos of the last few months. We are talking about a vasectomy appointment that was canceled due to a "system error" (you literally cannot make this up), why I thought my pregnancy symptoms were a reaction to margarita mix, and the genuine shoc...

This trailer gives you a taste of what to expect: real talk, honest stories, zero judgment, and a reminder that none of us really know what we're doing - and that’s kind of the best part.

Hi our lovely MILFs community! It feels so good to be uploading an episode again but it does not come without a heavy heart for the news we are sharing today. First off we want to thank each and every one of you for your patience over the last couple of months as we navigate big life changes (ICYMI WE ARE BOTH PREGNANT!!). We've been soaking up all the love and joy from the first few months of pregnancy and it just feels so special that we get to both go through this at the same time again.&n...
This week we’re joined by the hilarious and unfiltered Sarah Merrill Hall — creator of Big Kid Problems and host of the hit podcast Bottle Service. Sarah has a knack for turning life’s most chaotic, unglamorous moments into comedy gold, and motherhood has only given her more material. We dive into her shift from cracking jokes about adulting struggles to finding the funny in spit-up, meltdowns, and all things mom life. Sarah opens up about getting lost in the identity shift that comes with be...
Parenting in the thick of toddlerhood can feel like a rollercoaster of meltdowns, overstimulation, and mom guilt. In this week’s episode, we sit down with Alyssa Blask Campbell—CEO of Seed & Sew, emotional development expert, mom of two, and author of Tiny Humans, Big Emotions and Big Kids, Bigger Feelings—to talk about how to regulate your nervous system while teaching your child to process theirs. Alyssa walks us through her FACTS method (Food, Activity, Connection, Tune Out, Sleep), a ...
Ever traveled with little kids? Then you know...the matching outfits and dreamy Instagram moments are just one side of the story. Behind the scenes it’s snacks on the airport floor, meltdowns at security, and praying the iPad battery lasts just five more minutes. In this episode, we’re unpacking it all: the travel wins that made us feel like superheroes, the fails that still make us laugh/cry, and the hacks we swear by to survive long flights, hotels, and road trips with kids in tow. Plus, wh...
