    Bare Naked Moms

    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.

    Show notes

    Bare Naked Moms co-host Milano Buckley had a wild and woolly childhood as the daughter of a mother who suffered from severe mental illness.

    In this bonus episode, Alanna and Milano try to unravel the mystery of who Milano’s father is. As she and her mentally-ill mom struggled to find their way through the world, where was Milano’s dad, what steps did she take to find him, and how has she come much closer to solving the mystery once and for all?


    In This Episode:

    👉 What Milano’s mom told her about her dad

    👉 Her efforts to reach out to him over the years

    👉 What she now knows thanks to 23andMe

    👉 Her next step towards solving the mystery

    How to Raise Resilient Kids (Tovah Klein) May 07, 2025
    Show notes

    Do you ever worry that your kids have it too good to be resilient? Do you try to protect them from hard stuff because you want them to be happy? Do you wonder how some kids who experience trauma end up being just fine, while others with placid, uneventful childhoods are hot messes? As parents, it’s so hard to know when to protect our kids from pain or anxiety and when to let them experience it.


    In this week’s episode, Alanna and Milano have a fascinating discussion with childhood development expert Dr. Tovah Klein about the importance of not shielding our kids from their mistakes, our mistakes, or the unsavory feelings and events of everyday life. Dr. Klein shares what she’s observed in her 30 years as Director of the Barnard College Center for Toddler Development and what she outlines in her recently published bestseller, Raising Resilience: How to Help Our Children Thrive in Times of Uncertainty: that the key ingredient of success in a child (and human) is resilience—knowing that we can feel and do and see hard things and ultimately be OK.


    In This Episode:

    👉 How to protect kids without paralyzing them

    👉 The importance of giving children the freedom to fall

    👉 Parents as containers and anchors

    👉 How to talk to our kids about scary things

    👉 Why “potential” and perfection are nice ideas that totally backfire

    Children’s Author on the Value of Boredom, Curiosity & Racial Representation (Chris Van Dusen) Apr 30, 2025
    Show notes

    What does the bestselling author-illustrator of The Circus Ship, Learning to Ski with Mr. Magee, Randy Riley’s Really Big Hit and If I Built a House know about childhood and parenting? A lot, it turns out! For one, that kids should not be talked down to—in literature or in life—because they’re so much smarter than we give them credit for. And that kids make great writing collaborators because their brains and imaginations are far less cluttered than ours.


    In this week’s episode, kid lit powerhouse Chris Van Dusen shares wisdom from his own childhood and parenting his two sons—as well as the humbling realization that there was something important he was falling short of as a storyteller: representing and including people of all cultures and backgrounds.


    In This Episode:

    👉 Nurturing boredom and curiosity in kids

    👉 Creating stories that appeal to all ages and minds

    👉 Children’s ability to handle darkness

    👉 The costs and benefits of DEI in stories

    👉 Reinventing yourself at any age or professional chapter

    NBC’s Vicky Nguyen on Her Journey from Refugee to Reporter and Mom of Three Apr 23, 2025
    Show notes

    Milano and Alanna welcome NBC News anchor and correspondent Vicky Nguyen to talk about her recently published memoir Boat Baby. The New York Times bestseller chronicles her family’s escape from communist Vietnam to America, the rollercoaster ride of growing up with immigrant parents, and her experiences as a mother of three daughters. How is Vicky following her parents’ lead as a mom, and what is she handling differently? For one, she’s an only child who decided to have three kids. Her parents’ hard work and love of travel are qualities that she admires and emulates. The open communication that she enjoys with her own daughters, though, is not something she experienced growing up.


    In This Episode:

    👉 The difference between “woman with children” and “mother”

    👉 An immigrant family’s survival and commitment to the American Dream

    👉 Different generations and cultures living together under one roof

    👉 Grandparents as caretakers for their grandchildren

    👉 It takes a village: a working mother’s ecosystem

    Show notes

    Have a child who lacks motivation, talks back, lies and steals, and fights you over everything? Given the chance, strong-willed kids would suck the calm and patient right out of Mother Theresa, let alone their actual mother.

Shifting the way we think and act with our strong-willed kids—and examining what we as parents bring to the dynamic—can turn the job of parenting them from burden to blessing.

    In This Episode:

    👉 How the brains of strong-willed kids are wired.

    👉 Helping strong-willed kids create new neural pathways and behavioral patterns.

    👉 Understanding the role parents can play in struggles with strong-willed kids.

    👉 The power of language and tone with strong-willed kids.

    Puberty Expert Vanessa Kroll Bennett on How We Should Think and Talk About Modern Puberty Apr 09, 2025
    Show notes

    Did you know the new average age for girls to begin puberty is 9?! Or that if you don’t talk to your kids about porn by the age of 12, it might be too late?In this week’s episode, Alanna and Milano are joined by puberty expert Vanessa Kroll Bennett, co-host of the chart-topping podcast This is So Awkward and co-author of the newly released book by the same title. Vanessa, who is known for flipping puberty positive, level sets our expectations of what we should be talking about with our kids, the ages we should be having these conversations and how they should sound (spoiler alert: it’s not a five-hour kumbaya sesh). Vanessa also helps us understand how different puberty is for kids today than it was for us—and how important it is, because of that, to not project our experience onto theirs.


    In This Episode:

    👉 Understanding how modern puberty is different from our puberty.

    👉 Knowing the conversations you must have with your kids—and when/how to have them.

    👉 Practical tips for removing the “icky” and “tricky” from puberty talks and moments.
