Join us for an honest, practical conversation with Courtney Boylan, founder of Le Lolo, who’s on a mission to beautify postpartum care. Courtney reframes postpartum self-care as more than quick fixes or Instagram-ready moments — it’s about dignity, functionality, and building sustainable routines that honor new parents’ needs. She shares design-minded solutions, mindset shifts, and real-life routines for parents juggling newborn care, limited sleep, and other responsibilities. What we cover A broader definition of postpartum self-care beyond “sleep when the baby sleeps” Cultural expectations that block sustainable postpartum recovery Practical, non-negotiable self-care routines for busy new parents How partners, family, and healthcare providers can better support individualized postpartum needs Small mindset shifts and daily practices to rebuild identity, confidence, and agency The design thinking behind Le Lolo’s products and why beauty + function matters in postpartum essentials Who this episode is for New and expecting parents Partners and family members supporting someone postpartum Postpartum care advocates, doulas, and clinicians Parents who want practical self-care strategies that actually fit real life Guest Courtney Boylan — Founder of Le Lolo; creator of thoughtfully designed, beautiful postpartum essentials inspired by her experience as a mom of three. Connect with Courtney Boylan: Official Website: https://wearelelolo.com/ IG: @wearelelolo TikTok: @wearelelolo Key takeaways Postpartum self-care is practical, individualized, and dignified — not just errands and baths. Design and aesthetics can improve how postpartum products are used and how parents feel while using them. Small, consistent routines (tailored to your life) beat idealized, unsustainable “self-care” strategies. Support systems—partners, family, clinicians—play a crucial role when they recognize and validate individual needs. Rebuilding a sense of self starts with small daily practices and permission to prioritize care. Giveaway We’re giving away a Le Lolo postpartum care set!

  Executive & Mama: Real Systems for Real-Life Balance with Aly Wente from Wente Family Vineyards Ep. 136

  Aug 19, 202620 min

  This episode is brought to you by Legendairy Milk. Use code NEWMOM15 at checkout to get 15% off She's Flowing . Aly Wente — fifth-generation winegrower and Chief Revenue Officer of Wente Family Vineyards — joins us to talk real strategies for reconciling a demanding career and a thriving family life. Drawing on leadership at America’s oldest continuously family-owned winery and a modern, sustainability-minded approach, Aly reframes the idea of “balance,” shares systems that actually work, and names the practical supports that help prevent burnout while preserving what matters most. What we cover Whether “balance” is realistic or needs reframing as priorities, rhythm, or boundaries How to distinguish non-negotiable commitments from habits driven by guilt or expectation Concrete approaches to managing the mental and logistical load of career + household Boundary-setting tactics for work and home that hold up under pressure High-impact systems, routines, and outside supports that make day-to-day life manageable Where to start when you feel overwhelmed: small, sustainable first steps Who this episode is for Working parents navigating career and caregiving responsibilities Moms returning to work or climbing the ladder while raising children Partners, managers, and HR leaders who support working families Anyone seeking practical systems to reduce stress and increase presence at work and home About our Guest Aly Wente — Fifth-generation winegrower and Chief Revenue Officer, Wente Family Vineyards. Aly leads brand, hospitality, and customer experience strategy while honoring a 140+ year family legacy and applying a modern, sustainability-focused perspective to California wine. Connect with Aly Wente: Official Website: https://wentevineyards.com/ IG: @wente & @alywenteoneal Key takeaways Balance is often less about perfect equality and more about clarity of priorities, boundaries, and rhythms. Audit your commitments: identify what truly needs your time versus what can be delegated, delayed, or dropped. Share the mental load by naming tasks, assigning ownership, and using simple systems (calendars, shared lists, routines). Boundary-setting requires clear communication, predictable routines, and consistent follow-through — both at work and at home. Start with one small system (e.g., weekly planning session, shared family calendar, or a dedicated self-care appointment) and build from there. Outside supports (childcare, flexible work arrangements, professional networks) compound impact — ask for them early and often. Practical tips mentioned Run a weekly 20–30 minute family planning huddle to align priorities and shift logistic load. Batch work and family tasks into predictable blocks to reduce context switching. Use a shared digital calendar and task list so responsibilities are visible and transferable. Normalize asking for help and negotiate flexible solutions at work with specific proposals. Protect at least one non-negotiable recovery routine (sleep, movement, or a weekly reset) to reduce burnout risk. Resources mentioned Wente Family Vineyards — company and hospitality information Suggested tools: shared calendars (Google Calendar, iCal), shared task apps (Todoist, Trello), family planning templates Subscribe for more stories from working parents and leaders balancing career and family.

  Balance Early: At-Home Strategies to Reduce Developmental Delays with Shannon Davis from InspiraSpark E 135

  Aug 5, 202625 min

  This episode is brought to you by InspiraSpark — thanks to Shannon Davis and the Little Balance Box for supporting the show. Join us as Shannon Davis — mom, physical therapist, and inventor of the Little Balance Box — breaks down practical, research-informed ways parents can reduce the risk or impact of developmental delays at home. Shannon explains what “developmental delay” really means, reveals common baby gear and routines that can unintentionally hinder motor development, and walks through how the Little Balance Box was designed differently to support natural movement and balance. This episode is full of compassionate, actionable advice for caregivers who feel worried or guilty: how to shift your mindset from fear to advocacy, simple daily activities to do while waiting for specialist care, and ways to support both children and parents through early development challenges. What we cover: What developmental delay means and everyday baby gear that can interfere with development The design goals behind the Little Balance Box and how it supports natural movement Reframing parental guilt into empowered advocacy and practical next steps Ways the Little Balance Box supports entire families — not just kids with delays Immediate, safe at-home strategies for families without immediate access to specialists or early-intervention services Who this episode is for: New and expecting parents Caregivers and early-childhood educators Pediatric therapists and clinicians Anyone interested in practical, movement-based tools to support early motor development About Our Guest: Shannon Davis — Mom, licensed physical therapist, and inventor of the Little Balance Box (InspiraSpark) Connect with Blair Mohr: Official Website: https://inspiraspark.com/ IG: @inspiraspark TikTok: @inspiraspark Key takeaways: Simple changes at home can protect and promote healthy motor milestones. Gear and positioning matter — some popular products can restrict movement and delay skills. Small, consistent play and balance activities build resilience and motor confidence. Parents can take meaningful, safe actions even before specialist evaluation. Tools designed with developmental principles can support the whole family.

  Jul 22, 202618 min

  This episode is brought to you by Legendairy Milk. Use code NEWMOM15 at checkout to get 15% off She's Flowing . You've fed the baby, done the laundry, remembered the pediatrician appointment, mentally scheduled tomorrow's daycare drop-off, and somehow still feel like you're forgetting something. Sound familiar? That's the mental load — and for new mothers, it rarely gets talked about the way it should. In this episode, Mariela sits down with Dr. Minisha Ghimire , physician in internal medicine and obesity medicine, and founder of Momkinz , to have an honest, eye-opening conversation about the invisible weight so many mothers carry — and what it's actually doing to their health. This one hits different. Whether you're in the thick of the newborn stage or years into motherhood and still feeling it — you'll want to listen to this. In This Episode, We Cover: What the mental load actually is — and why it's so much deeper than just being busy or exhausted Why new mothers so often become the "default parent" — and whether that's a choice or something that quietly happens over time The real long-term impact of carrying the mental load on a mother's mental and physical health — from a physician's perspective Why "just ask for help" doesn't work — and what kind of support actually moves the needle Realistic things moms can do to lighten the load — plus the bigger systemic conversation we can't ignore About Our Guest: Dr. Minisha Ghimire is a physician training in internal medicine and obesity medicine, and the founder of Momkinz . She is a passionate advocate for postpartum mothers and believes that supporting moms goes far beyond the six-week checkup. Her work sits at the intersection of medicine and maternal wellness, and she brings both clinical insight and genuine compassion to every conversation about motherhood.
