Fresh As A Mother

Episode 25: Mama Needed A Minute. Mama Got Her Minute.

Tue, 19 May 2026 02:49:16 +0000

We're recapping the Mama Needs A Minute event — the pre-Mother's Day wellness morning Fresh As A Mother hosted at the gorgeous Bloom Ranch in Acton, CA. Yoga. Sound bath. Wine tasting. Flowers. A meal nobody had to cook. And a room full of moms who showed up for themselves, maybe for the first time in a long time. Lorielle and Provi break down the highlights, the moments that moved them, and what it really felt like to exhale — together. This one's a celebration, y'all.

Episode 24: Who Are We Now?

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 15:38:42 +0000

Before we get into the season, we had to get into ourselves first.

In our Season 3 premiere, Lorielle and Provi sit down for a real catch-up — not the highlight reel version, but the actual one. Where are they right now in motherhood? What shifted since Season 2? What's harder than expected, what's better, and what are they still figuring out?

From chaotic Tuesdays and unexpected kid phases to identity, partnership, and the quiet question that lives underneath it all — who am I now that I'm somebody's mother? — this episode sets the tone for everything Season 3 is about.

Plus, we introduce our brand new recurring segment: Nobody Warned Me — the part of the show where we talk about the thing that happened that absolutely nobody prepared us for.

Season 3 is called Still Becoming — and this is where it begins.

Episode 22: Potty Talk withJamie Glowacki

Fri, 20 Jun 2025 19:10:09 +0000

In this episode of Fresh as a Mother, Lorielle sits down with Jamie Glowacki—author of the cult-favorite parenting guide Oh Crap! Potty Training—for a no-holds-barred conversation on one of the most anxiety-inducing milestones of early parenthood: potty training.

Jamie breaks down the common myths, emotional roadblocks, and surprising joys of the process, all while sharing how she went from teaching local workshops to becoming one of the most trusted voices on toddler transitions. Whether you’re knee-deep in potty drama or just looking ahead, this episode is packed with real talk, practical tips, and big-picture parenting wisdom that will leave you feeling both grounded and seen.

Jamie Glowacki is a parenting and potty training expert best known as the author of Oh Crap! Potty Training. With a background in social work and decades of in-the-trenches experience with thousands of families, Jamie’s work is equal parts empowering and hilarious. She’s the mom of one awesome kid, Pascal, and brings a deeply human, no-BS approach to helping parents raise capable, compassionate humans (not entitled a-holes). Jamie believes parenting is hard—but it can also be sweet, grounded, and full of grace… with the right support.

BLACK MATERNAL HEALTH MATTERS...PROTECT YOUR PEACE: Episode 3

Tue, 11 Apr 2023 22:35:06 +0000

*Excuse our audio this week, we were having some technical difficulties! It's Black Maternal Health Week and we are talking to our first guest, Colleen Lovejoy, the founder of Sugar Heal Gang! Sugar Heal Gang was conceptualized in 2019 by Colleen in order to join forces with other healers she knew and trusted and reimagine what healing looks like in the African American community. Their current focus is providing high quality, culturally informed, trauma-resolving, holistic maternity services to birthing families. Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control report that Black women in the US are three to four times more likely to die from complications of childbirth than white women. These preventable deaths occur regardless of income or education levels and speak to the deep-seeded racism in the US health care system. The Black Maternal Health Fund was initiated by the collective in 2020 in order to provide essential maternity care services to BIPOC families who were choosing to birth outside of hospitals due to long-standing health care bias exacerbated by the global pandemic. In her private practice, Seline Vibes, acuvibrational therapy is used to address mental, physical, emotional and energetic imbalances in individuals and couples. Her innovative maternity care protocols have been used for miscarriage prevention, pre-term labor prevention, regulating heart rate, reducing blood pressure, natural labor induction, restarting stalled contractions, clearing infection, breastfeeding support, natural pain management and more.
