As a parent, do you ever feel bare and naked? Totally unsure of what’s right or wrong, loaded up with experts’ tips and tricks yet still feeling lost, misunderstood, and (worst of all) alone? We do. Let’s talk.
We’re Milano Buckley and Alanna Leavell, two moms of three and hosts of Bare Naked Moms—a weekly tell-it-like-it-is parenting roundtable of celebs, influencers, experts, and bold everyday carpoolers like us, taking on the messy, uncomfortable moments of modern family life that usually lie between the lines or out of bounds, but always leave us feeling like defenseless emperors without clothes.
We believe that no matter how high-flying you are, at one point or another, you will get stuck in some patch of thorny, tick-infested parenting weeds. Whether you were born rich or poor, whether you had terrific parents or terrible parents, whether you know a lot or a little, whether everyone knows you or no one knows you, whether you’re black or white or green or red, whether you’re married to a woman or a man, whether you identify as He, She, or Furry…parenting doesn’t give a sh*t. It will come for you. And take all your clothes. Whether they come from Gucci, Walmart, or the hands of sheep-sheering monks.
In each episode, we’ll roll up our sleeves for an honest, respectful rumble in which sticky stories and questions are swapped. Through that brave exchange, our hope is that everyone gains some relief and clarity—on how to find more peace, joy, connection, and humor in your lives as parents.
