The Mamilennials Podcast

This week, Jocelyn and Lauren are joined by fellow mamilennial, Lourdes, for an honest and heartfelt conversation about the beautifully complex journey of motherhood through the lens of raising twins (!!). Lourdes opens up about the shock of discovering she was expecting twins, the physical and emotional challenges of a twin pregnancy, and the layered experience of bonding with two babies—especially when one required time in the NICU. Together, they unpack the grief, guilt, and growth that can coexist in early motherhood, and the pressure many moms feel to “do it all” while still learning how to slow down and be present. The conversation weaves through the unpredictable nature of motherhood, the importance of asking for (and accepting) help, and the realities of balancing personal identity, career transitions, and family life. Jocelyn, Lauren, and Lourdes share candid stories about leaning on community, prioritizing self-care, and redefining success in this season of life. At its core, this episode is a reminder that motherhood isn’t meant to be navigated alone and that resilience, presence, and support can look different for every family, especially when raising multiples.

In this week's episode, we’re diving deep into the powerful metaphor of "losing your pink"—that subtle, often unspoken shift in identity and self-perception that follows childbirth. When the initial fog of new parenthood finally begins to settle, many of us look in the mirror and wonder where our former selves went. We’re getting vulnerable about the emotional and physical, from the weight of societal expectations and body image struggles to the quiet pressure of trying to "have it all" while feeling like you’re losing yourself. Your "pink" might change shades as you grow, but it never has to stay faded. Whether you’re in the thick of the newborn days or years into the journey, join us for a heartfelt conversation on evolving, rediscovering your radiance, and realizing that you aren’t losing yourself; you’re simply finding a new, beautiful way to shine.

Sleep: every parent wants it, but few agree on how to get it. We’re breaking down the sleep-deprived reality of raising little ones, from the data-driven world of tracking apps to the emotional nuances of co-sleeping and sleep training. Through our personal anecdotes we navigate the generational divide in parenting styles and the importance of doing what works for your family. Join us for an honest look at finding flexibility (and your sanity) in the middle of the night.

In this special episode, we’re celebrating Galentine’s Day by diving deep into the heartbeat of our lives: female friendships.

Happy Galentine's Day!

Let’s be real.. motherhood is a heavy lift, both physically and emotionally. This week, we’re sitting down with founder of Nido Family Chiropractic & Wellness, where Dr. Angie breaks down why chiropractic care is a game-changer for mamis and why your "village" is just as important as your spinal health. It’s an honest, heartfelt dive into the joys, the struggles, and the adjustments (😉) we all have to make.

Deciding whether to grow your family isn’t just a conversation about nursery space. It’s a deep dive into identity, health, and the societal "shoulds" that follow every mother.
