Burnt Pancakes: Momversations | Conversations for Imperfect Moms, Chats About Mom Life & Interviews with Real Mamas

In this episode of Burnt Pancakes: Momversations, I sit down with bestselling children’s book author and mom of three, Aisha Saeed, to talk about her beautiful new picture book You and Me, Baby. This heartfelt story is a love letter to the bond between a parent and their baby and a reminder that we’re all learning how to parent as we go.
We talk about the vulnerable Instagram post that sparked the idea for the book, how motherhood has shaped Aisha’s writing, and why it matters to tell stories that reflect real families and real emotions. 
This episode is for new moms, seasoned moms, and anyone who needs the reminder that there’s no “perfect” way to parent—just love, growth, and learning together.
In this episode, we cover:
What inspired You and Me, Baby
How a social media moment turned into a bestselling book
The emotional side of learning how to parent
What motherhood has taught Aisha
Why representation in children’s books matters
How our kids teach us just as much as we teach them
You and Me, Baby is out now and makes a perfect baby shower gift, bedtime read, and keepsake for new families.

Today I’m joined by integrative fertility coach and former pharmacist Katie Wood, whose personal fertility journey completely transformed the way she supports women today.
After months of not conceiving, feeling dismissed by her OB-GYN, and searching for answers that traditional medicine couldn’t give her, Katie discovered the power of acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and whole-body healing. That experience led her to conceiving and ultimately build a career helping women conceive naturally—with real support, not quick fixes.
In this episode, we talk about:
Katie’s emotional journey through delayed conception
How acupuncture and holistic medicine opened her eyes to the root-cause issues behind fertility struggles
The biggest gaps in how standard OB-GYN care handles early TTC concerns
Early signs your body may be out of alignment
How trauma, stress, and energy imbalances impact fertility
What an integrative, whole-body fertility plan actually looks like
Why “unexplained infertility” is often a misleading diagnosis
How Katie blends Western medicine, nutrition, TCM, and energetic healing
A real-life success story that shows what’s possible when women feel truly supported

Get ready to embark on a fascinating journey as I explore the origins and customs of some of our favorite Christmas traditions. Ever wondered why we decorate an evergreen tree, hang giant socks on our fireplace, or plant a mistletoe over our doorways? Or how about the stories behind Santa Claus and his reindeer, or the popularity of candy canes? This episode is packed with facts and stories that reveal the ancient roots and evolution of these beloved holiday symbols and rituals.

This week, I'm also taking a closer look at Christmas cards, and sharing our love for this warm and personal way of connecting during the festive season. Whether you're sending them out or receiving them, they're a reminder to pause and reflect amidst the holiday rush.
