Hi My Name Is Mom

How in the world do you NAME A BABY!? Like, give a person the name they're gonna use for the rest of their life! It's a lot of pressure! Today our friend Brittainy Taylor joins us to talk about how to go about naming your baby - where do you start? Should you keep it a secret? Are there names you're not allowed to use cause it's your friend/cousin/neighbor's baby's name? Can you call dibs on a name? And is there a way to actually manipulate your way into getting the name YOU want, even if you know your partner doesn't like it!? There's so much to get into!!  Make sure you check out our new YouTube channel for the on-camera version of our new episodes!!

PERIODS! How weird is it that women do this whole bleeding thing... every month... How do you talk kids about what it is and what it means? We share what we knew about menstrual cycles before the day we started our periods for the first time... and how it happened for us. We also chat about the shame that used to go along with periods, to today, when some people throw a full on party in honor of the day! All that, plus, why Jen likes to hop on her Bowflex NAKED!  Make sure you check out our new YouTube channel for the on-camera version of our new episodes!!

Meet our new, badass mom friend, Kayla Ewell! You've probably seen Kayla on one of your fave tv shows like Vampire Diaries, The O.C, or Roswell, New Mexico.. or heard her podcast, Directionally Challenged. But today, we got the chance to chat with Kayla about her favorite role to date - Mommy! She has two gorgeous babies, and shares what it's like going through pregnancy and new motherhood in the entertainment industry, the loneliness of parenting through a pandemic, and the shock of going into labor 7 WEEKS EARLY and now parenting a preemie..

Well... we took our friendship to a new level, and smelled each other's armpits. Cause, friends don't let friends walk around stinky! ;) Kaela has been struggling with body odor since having Loxley, and even more so now that she's weaning... the postpartum sweating and stinking is a real thing!

Parentification... what is it? Were you parentified? Are you parentifying your kids? Today we dive in and work to figure out the answers to these questions.. whether it's emotional (caused by divorce, addiction, depression, etc) or instrumental (a child supporting a household financially, or taking on the role of parent to siblings), and the gray area between the potentially beneficial and the horribly toxic version of this phenomenon.  Make sure you check out our new YouTube channel for the on-camera version of our new episodes!!

Make sure you check out our new YouTube channel for the on-camera version of our new episodes!! Brittainy Taylor - who you may have seen on Very Cavallari, behind the scenes at Uncommon James, on her SO real in the best way social channels, or cuddling her precious baby girl.. joins us to talk about the struggle of postpartum body image. Pregnancy gives you a cute little round, hard belly... and birth gives you some squishy bits that you were NOT prepared for, but are supposed to love and appreciate. Brittainy has been very open about her own journey - she went from being a model with unrealistic body expectations, to a mom who is now working to love her post baby body - and she opens up about ALL of it. We talk about the literal weight of nursing boobs, the balance between feeling like crap when you get dressed and wanting to be body positive, the harm that negative self-talk can cause, and the uphill battle of trying to keep up with mom influencers. Plus, the importance of buying close that FIT your current body! We love Brittainy for her realness, her kindness, and her love of dance parties... she is truly part of our mom squad, and we know you'll love the amazing insight and advice she has to share!  FOLLOW US FOR MORE MOM LIFE STUFF!  ➤ Instagram ➝ https://www.instagram.com/himynameismomofficial ➤ TikTok ➝  https://www.tiktok.com/@himynameismomofficial ➤ Facebook ➝  https://www.facebook.com/himynameismomofficial ➤ Twitter ➝ https://www.twitter.com/himynameismom ➝The Hi My Name Is Mom Studio is brought to you by: The Yard Sale Store!

Laura Ortiz - amazing and hilarious actor (Corri & Laura starred in the series Holliston together) and mama to 2 precious boys - joins us to tell us why she's hanging tight to gratitude this holiday season.. We're skipping the chat about Black Friday deals, and instead talking about what we're thankful for! And how hard it can be to find that positive perspective at times... Laura's newly-renovated dream home was hit hard by Hurricane Ian, and she shares her unique perspective on why she's HAPPY her home was hit... This episode also took a shocking turn into an anatomy lesson! And we learned things about the vulva we never knew we didn't know! We laughed and we cried it was like our own big ole therapy session.
