The Mother Daze with Sarah Wright Olsen & Teresa Palmer

This week on the pod we sit down with environmental health expert and mama Lindsay Dahl, author of Cleaning House, for a deeply grounding, eye-opening chat about what it really means to create a healthier home without spiraling into perfectionism.

From beauty products to the everyday cleaning staples sitting under your sink, Lindsay walks us through how to make more conscious choices without throwing everything out overnight, and where to actually start so it doesn’t feel overwhelming. We dive into trusted certifications like EWG and MADE SAFE, and how to decode labels so you can feel confident about what you’re bringing into your home and onto your body.

We also explore the idea of micro moments of advocacy, those small, powerful choices that add up over time, and how to balance being informed without becoming overwhelmed. Because there’s a fine line between empowering our kids with knowledge and overloading them with information.

This week on The Mother Daze, we’re in the thick of it. The tired mama juggle is real and we’re giggling our way through it, throwing some grace at it, laughing at the dropped balls and celebrating the wins!

We chat about outgrowing friendships, curating new connections, and what it really looks like to protect your energy and your space as a mama. There’s also a whole lot of woo woo mystical chat this week- angel numbers, mediums, birthday readings and signs all around us.

Tez shares a story about a couple of her special pals, one on this side with her portal wide open and her friend on the other side guiding her from there.

Plus we chat strange intuitive hits, being friends with men, and those eerie moments that feel like premonitions disguised as intrusive thoughts. Coincidence? We think not!!

Messy Magic Shit this week on the pod and we are ALL about it.

Today we’re joined by our friend Megan Papay, co-founder of Freda Salvador, a brand that feels less like a shoe company and more like an energy. Built on three generations of shoemaking, Freda has become a reflection of personal style, intention, and the quiet power of women building something meaningful.

We talk about the idea that getting dressed can actually be a form of storytelling. How what we wear can mirror the season we’re in, the energy we’re calling in, or even the things we’re ready to release.

Megan shares the reality of building a business while raising children, navigating mom guilt while traveling for work, and the unexpected ways roadblocks in business can lead to the biggest expansion.

From building a brand while raising kids to the quiet rituals that keep us grounded, Megan also shares the practices that help her stay connected to herself. Creativity, Motherhood and Entrepreneursh;ip at its finest!

This week’s wild stories are plentiful. We unpack the absurdity of driving through the night to be a “Sexiest Person” while standing next to a Victoria’s Secret supermodel… and personally feeling mildly unalived. Not emotionally. Just aesthetically. Spiritually. Sleep-deprived-y. (And this was pre-kids.)

We talk God of War, Sarah filming Matlock, birthday snow trips, and the wobbly dance of mixing work and motherhood. What happens when your baby won’t take a bottle but you’re needed on set? How do you hold ambition and attachment at the same time without losing your sssht?!

We dive into insecurities and carving out space in the entertainment industry as mothers. We chat birth order personalities; the feral wildlings versus the rule followers, family labels, individuality, and how to help our children become fully themselves.

Ocean’s first tooth makes an appearance, and we close with a beautiful recap of our recent women’s circle that legit changed our lives!

This week we sit down with Emily Doyle, founder of Ursa Major and fellow mama, to talk about the real birth story behind building a brand while raising a family at the same time.

We dive into the why behind Ursa Major, what it means to keep it real and relatable in the beauty business, and Emily shares some beautiful, grounded words for our Dazeys about taking the leap and launching something of your own. We also discuss what it actually looks like to find aligned business partners, and the deeper commitment required to stay authentic as you grow.

And then… one of our favourite le poddy topics. Aging! We mount our soapbox to unpack our feelings around the whole “anti-aging” narrative. We’re not anti anything… in fact, it’s a damn privilege to grow older. We talk about the quiet pressure to tinker with your face. The subtle feeling of being left behind if you’re not doing Botox, fillers, all the things. We unpack our personal definitions of beauty and why confidence, magnetism and that undeniable twinkle in your eyes will always win.

This is an ep about radiating energy, choosing joy and feeling glowy in your own skin.
