Description
As a parent, do you ever feel bare and naked? Totally unsure of what’s right or wrong, loaded up with experts’ tips and tricks yet still feeling lost, misunderstood, and (worst of all) alone? We do. Let’s talk.
We’re Milano Buckley and Alanna Leavell, two moms of three and hosts of Bare Naked Moms—a weekly tell-it-like-it-is parenting roundtable of celebs, influencers, experts, and bold everyday carpoolers like us, taking on the messy, uncomfortable moments of modern family life that usually lie between the lines or out of bounds, but always leave us feeling like defenseless emperors without clothes.
We believe that no matter how high-flying you are, at one point or another, you will get stuck in some patch of thorny, tick-infested parenting weeds. Whether you were born rich or poor, whether you had terrific parents or terrible parents, whether you know a lot or a little, whether everyone knows you or no one knows you, whether you’re black or white or green or red, whether you’re married to a woman or a man, whether you identify as He, She, or Furry…parenting doesn’t give a sh*t. It will come for you. And take all your clothes. Whether they come from Gucci, Walmart, or the hands of sheep-sheering monks.
In each episode, we’ll roll up our sleeves for an honest, respectful rumble in which sticky stories and questions are swapped. Through that brave exchange, our hope is that everyone gains some relief and clarity—on how to find more peace, joy, connection, and humor in your lives as parents.

The not-to-be-messed-with mom of three (whose oldest is a cancer survivor) points out the nonsense in everything from Daylight Savings to palate expanders.

On the show, she opens up about her evolving relationship with alcohol and being sober-curious these days. We get into the slippery slopes of tween girl fashion.

If you’ve been listening, you may have heard Milano talk a little about her complicated childhood. But in this episode, she takes the mic to tell much more of her story. Born to a mentally ill woman who was living in her car, Milano was raised throughout Manhattan by a motley crew of amazing parent figures and family units—including her biological mom, a family from Ghana from the neighborhood, her third grade teacher, her aunt and uncle, and her former school principal. Somehow she patched together enough love, support and guidance to land at an elite boarding school and university. Cut to: Milano’s now 45 years old and living in a leafy suburb with her husband and three kids. But just when you think the credits of this would-be Hollywood tale might start rolling is when the real nail-biter begins: a whole new survival story of navigating marriage and motherhood without any maps and loads of childhood trauma. In This Episode:The unique charms of Milano’s bipolar mother that inspired everyday people to step in and save Milano. How marriage and parenthood activated Milano’s childhood trauma responses. How Milano’s search for answers in the parenting world led her back to her childhood, her mom, and to Bare Naked Moms.
