The best advice comes from our favorite experts and doctors, trusted mom friends, and learning on the job. Get your coffee — or wine! — and tune in to hear us spill it all. We got this. This is MOM BRAIN with Hilaria Baldwin and Daphne Oz.

    If you're dreading the day you have to have "the sex talk" with your kids, this is the episode for you.

She's a double board-certified Adult and Child Psychiatrist and an Assistant Clinical Professor at New York Medical College, who's active in the American Psychiatric Association. Dr. Lis dives right in and nothing is taboo to her. She literally wrote the book on talking to your kids about sex and it's called, No Shame: Real Talk With Your Kids About Sex, Self-Confidence, and Healthy Relationships.

    In this episode, Dr. Lis tells Hilaria and Daphne to be honest, open and unashamed when approaching our kids about sex and their bodies. If we have reservations, our kids will too.

    Dawn talks to Hilaria and Daphne about how she founded 8greens out of necessity. At age 25, she was diagnosed with stage 4 Lymphatic cancer. When doctors could do no more, she went in search of solutions and found them by discovering the immense value of smart nutrition. She beat her cancer and spent the next 5 years working through 264 prototypes to create the world’s first green effervescent tablet that contained these 8 essential greens. Realizing that only 13% of Americans (including children) get the minimum daily recommended amount of greens, Dawn went on a mission to help anyone get the benefits of greens no matter where they are or how hectic their lives. Thus 8Greens was born.

    Talking Women's Birth Rights With Sara Ojjeh Jan 01, 2020

    Sara Ojjeh wants you to have the birth you want to have. She's a trained birth doula, birth rights activist, philanthropist and mom of three young boys. After supporting her sister-in-law during her labor, Sara got the idea to go all in and become a doula. She has also become an activist focusing on women's birth rights here in the US. Sara is a producer for the upcoming documentary film "Born Free," which tackles maternal mortality in the U.S.

    In this episode, Sara discusses how it's the right of every woman to choose how she wants to deliver her baby, but in the U.S. it is not that simple. Many women face an uphill battle if they want something other than what insurance covers (or God forbid, they don't have insurance). Her documentary “Born Free” sheds light on some eye opening facts – like how in the U.S., the number of maternal deaths per 100,000 births between 1995 and 2015 has risen by 30% – or that black mothers in the U.S. are 4 times more likely to die of childbirth complications than white mothers.

    Together with Hilaria and Daphne, they discuss Sara's choice of home birth and what it's like to give birth to twins. Plus, they talk about maternity mortality rates and how the U.S. can do better when it comes to how we treat mothers in labor. A great resource for expectant moms to be informed is childbirthconnections.org.

    Lindsay Price On Why Adoption Is So Important Jul 17, 2019

    If you're a child of the 90s, you probably remember Lindsay Price after she joined the cast of 90210 in 1998, or prior to that when she made a name for herself in both "All My Children" and "The Bold and the Beautiful." Most recently she played Camille in 2 seasons of "Breaking Up Together." In 2008 she starred in the NBC drama, "Lipstick Jungle." Inspired by her mom's harrowing adoption story in South Korea, Lindsay is an adoption advocate and works with AdoptTogether to spread awareness about the importance of adoption and how many children in the world need loving homes.


    Lindsay opens up to Hilaria and Daphne about how life for her changed when she went from a mom of one to a mom of 2, her approach to balancing the chaos of life between her career and motherhood, and how she handles the aggression/rough housing her little boys display towards each other. However, things get amazing when she opens up about her mom's incredible story of survival and her journey out of South Korea, and her subsequent adoption which so deeply connects Lindsay's own life today.

    Being The Odd Mom Out With Jill Kargman Jul 10, 2019

    This is a no holds barred conversation with writer/actor/producer Jill Kargman. She is the creator and star of the scripted comedy Odd Mom Out, which aired 3 seasons on Bravo. On Odd Mom Out, Jill plays a satirical version of herself navigating the hilarity of raising children on the Upper East Side in NYC. She is a New York Times best-selling author of multiple books and mom to Sadie, Ivy, and Fletch. Jill is also a performer with the Upright Citizens Brigade improvisational and sketch comedy group and recently made an appearance in her first Hollywood studio movie, A Bad Moms Christmas.

    In this hilarious and frank conversation (which you should probably not listen with your kids in the room) Hilaria, Daphne and Jill discuss some of the ridiculous situations Jill finds herself in with other NY moms, the super close, honest and open relationship she has with her kids, and how different motherhood is now at 45 vs new motherhood in her twenties.
