The Mother Daze with Sarah Wright Olsen & Teresa Palmer

Are these babies our last?! This week we’re sitting in that very weird space between babies growing up and big kids flying the nest, with Isaac heading off to college, Wyatt officially becoming a teenager and Esme hitting double digits. Meanwhile, the toddlers are TODDLERING, and somehow no matter how many children you’ve had, a full-blown tantrum can still make you feel like a first-time parent. We chat about communicating with little ones before they have the words for their giant feelings, some of our tried-and-true resources like RIE parenting and Dr. Siggie, and the impossible juggle of emotionally regulating one child while four others need you RIGHT NOW.

Then there’s the mother load. Too many tabs open, unanswered emails, dropped balls, four different schools for Teresa, two for Sarah, attempting to delegate while also feeling like you’re letting everyone down, and discovering that your only available “work hours” are 9–11pm… when you can barely keep your eyes open.

Plus, meet the newest member of the Palmer family: Velvet the miniature horse, Prairie’s very magical and surprising last minute 5th birthday present. And somehow we end up maybe with the greatest podcast moment of all time when Sarah has an absolutely spectacular Sigourney Weaver/Carrie Fisher brain fart that sends us down a wildly inaccurate pop-culture rabbit hole and has us crying laughing.

This week on The Mother Daze, the fires in Canada bring up some big feelings for Sarah’s kids, stirring memories of losing their home, smoke-filled skies, masks and even Covid.

Then it’s straight into the chaos: Esme gets stung by a stingray, Sarah mistakes Eric’s sunscreen-covered face for a jellyfish attack, Esme turns 10 and Sarah is about to be mothering a teen… watch this space!!

Meanwhile, Lotus and Ocean have suddenly turned into toddlers, eating sand, shoving everything into their mouths, unleashing pterodactyl screams and developing some VERY strong opinions about food.

Plus, we talk about the not-so-fun art of actually following through on boundaries, embracing our changing faces, hereditary dark circles and why seeing real women age in a sea of smoothed, tweaked and perfected faces matters more than ever.

This week on The Mother Daze, we’re joined by powerhouse entrepreneur, contrarian thinker and author Codie Sanchez for a conversation about ambition, motherhood, money and the sneaky ways we can become the biggest obstacle to our own freedom. Ahead of the release of her new book, Own or Be Owned, Codie shares what it really means to build a business so good it doesn’t need you.

We also talk Codie’s incredibly exciting news, she’s pregnant with her first child! She opens up about sharing her five-year journey to conceive publicly, what it means to be honest about something so deeply personal as a public figure, and why she wanted other women walking that road to know they’re not alone. We talk about taking fertility for granted and what it looks like to integrate building a family with building a business, chasing a dream and still having a life.

We dive into Codie’s world of contrarian thinking, boring businesses and ownership, why women so often downplay what they’re building as a “side hustle” or “little project,” and what it takes to build something that actually gives you more freedom.

Plus, the Hero Complex, martyrdom, delegating, getting unstuck when your ideas feel stagnant, and two-way-door decisions. It’s a big juicy one about owning your ambition, your choices, your time and the life you actually want to build.

This week on The Mother Daze we’re solo-ing it and Tez is too… solo parenting coming up on WEEK FIVE! Wahooooo!

The Palmer kids are back in school, there’s explosive baby diarrhea, sore booties, diaper-free disasters and multiple kid meltdowns happening AT THE SAME TIME. Just another relaxing week in motherhood!

We chat the absolute beast that is the mental load, the 900 tabs permanently open in a mother’s brain, and how sometimes even delegating feels like another bloody thing to do.

Tez shares her pal’s brilliant marble jar analogy: every snack, lift, lost shoe, school form, sibling squabble and “Muuuuum!” costs us a marble, while those little moments of being seen, thanked, appreciated or helped can put a marble back in the jar. Which begs the question… how do we make sure we actually have enough marbles to give away?!

Sarah shares why multitasking has never been her superpower, and we chat about the value of focusing on one thing at a time instead of trying to juggle ALL THE THINGS, ALL THE TIME.

We’re losing our marbles, finding a few again and attempting to keep the 900 tabs open without completely crashing the system!!

This week we’re joined by Dr. Sarah Oreck, a Columbia University-trained reproductive psychiatrist and co-founder of Mavida Health, to unpack one of the most misunderstood stages of a woman’s life: perimenopause

When does it actually start? Can you be postpartum and in perimenopause at the same time? (Yep.) Why does it feel like nobody prepared us for this?!

We’re talking brain fog, anxiety, rage, sleep, heart palpitations, yes… even itchy ears, why estrogen impacts almost every system in the body, and how perimenopause can last 7 to 10 years.

Dr. Oreck also walks us through the full spectrum of treatment options, from lifestyle changes and therapy to hormone treatment, busts a few myths, and answers the questions so many women are too afraid, too busy, or too confused to ask.

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “What on earth is happening to me?” this episode is for you… and every woman you know.
