We Are More Than Moms

What does it really mean to carry the mental load and why does it so often fall on women?

In this episode, Paige Connell: a mom of four and former corporate professional turned full-time content creator — joins us to unpack the invisible labor of motherhood, marriage, and modern partnership. We explore what the mental load actually is (and why it’s been so hard to name), how invisible and emotional labor shape our relationships, and practical ways to make the invisible visible.

Paige shares how to talk about the mental load with your partner without triggering defensiveness, resentment, or the “nagging” narrative — and why time is a real contribution, not just financial contribution, because time equity reveals what money often hides.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, unseen, or like you’re carrying more than your share, this conversation will help you feel less alone — and more equipped to ask for change.

Fashion icon and founder Cynthia Rowley joins us for a powerful conversation about building a global brand while raising a family, and refusing to choose between ambition and motherhood. Cynthia opens up about losing her husband at 34, becoming a mom later in life, and navigating single motherhood while continuing to grow a massive fashion empire without guilt. She shares how she integrated her children into her life and work, created a tight-knit family dynamic, set strong boundaries around family time, and modeled that work can be a source of joy and fulfillment, something her kids now carry with them, too.

We talk about taking risks while holding the responsibility of motherhood, releasing the mental load, navigating “nepotism” commentary, and what it’s been like for her daughters to carve their own paths while still choosing to live with her in their 20s (the ultimate definition of success). With decades of perspective, Cynthia offers wisdom on reinvention, self-trust, and a beautiful example of how motherhood is additive—not something that takes away from your identity, career, or creativity. A must-listen.

Dale and Annabel are back together for the first episode of the new year. In this reunion-style conversation, they reflect on how they actually approach the new year (hint: it’s not rigid resolutions), the rituals and systems they use to create more ease in their lives, and the goals and intentions they’re bringing into 2026. They talk honestly about what’s working, what they’re letting go of, and how they’re thinking about growth this year.

They also share personal updates, including Annabel’s health journey and how Dale is preparing for her upcoming boob job surgery.

If you’re craving a grounded reset that blends intention with real life, this episode is the perfect way to start the year.

If you’ve ever been in the middle of a grocery store, restaurant, playground, or sidewalk meltdown and thought, why is my kid the only one losing it right now? this episode is for you.

We’re talking all things toddler meltdowns: the public ones, the exhausting ones, the ones that make you question everything you’re doing as a parent. We unpack why it feels like everyone else’s kids are calm and well-behaved (spoiler: they’re not), and how isolating it can be when you only see the highlight reels of parenting—both in real life and online.

We share how we handle meltdowns in real time: what’s worked, what hasn’t, and how our approach has changed with experience. No expert scripts or perfect parenting, just honest conversation, lived experience, and practical tips to help you feel less alone.

If you’re in the thick of toddlerhood and feeling alone, overwhelmed, or convinced your child is “the only one,” this conversation is your reminder: you’re not failing, you’re not alone, and this season won’t last forever.
