We Are More Than Moms — Kids & Family
We Are More Than Moms

Forget perfect parenting—this is the podcast moms actually want. These episodes feel like a late-night kitchen-table chat with your best friend: real, warm, and a little messy.

Each week, Annabel Lawee and Dale Stabler share unfiltered stories and host honest conversations about what motherhood really feels like—identity shifts, career pivots, mental health struggles, mom guilt, and the vulnerable truths that rarely make the highlight reel.

We’re not experts, nor will we ever pretend to be—just two mom best friends riding the rollercoaster right alongside you and creating a space where you feel seen, inspired, and never alone.

Megan Roup on the summer of ‘no’, identity shifts, body image, less is more and embracing the fleeting nature of phases Jun 20, 2024

Show notes

Megan Roup is a celebrity trainer, founder of The Sculpt Society and most importantly, an incredible and inspiring mom of two. We talk all things identity and chat through the process of re-learning what it means to show up authentically postpartum, working-mom guilt and handling “hustle culture” when you enter motherhood. Megan talks overwhelm and boundaries, while also reminding herself every phase is temporary. We discuss body image, healing unhealthy relationships to food and the mindf*** of body dysmorphia during pregnancy and postpartum. Last but not least, we discuss all things pelvic floor (PSA - it is not normal to pee in your pants postpartum, hear why). Overall, this episode is raw, real and a glimpse into the real rollercoaster ride and balancing act of motherhood.

Are we romantic partners or business partners? Jun 13, 2024

Show notes

One of our most requested topics - relationships. With the new responsibility of a child, our relationship dynamic changes - duh, we just don’t think we realized how extreme the change would be. We speak candidly about falling into defined roles, co-existing / co-parenting vs spending quality time together, the importance of clear communication, intentionality with our time, and how we keep our romantic relationship from turning into a business relationship - a work in progress for us.

Is ‘balance” even achievable? Does resentment of carrying the mental load sometimes get in the way of connection? How do we go about prioritizing our partner and not taking our relationship for granted? Tune in to her more…we’ll definitely need a part two.

Routines: Sleep, naps, feeding, solids May 30, 2024

Show notes

Today’s episode is all about routines. We’re big fans of routines as they keep us sane, but getting on a routine that works well for your family, be it: sleeping, eating, napping, etc is hard. We chat through the first year of schedule and share our day-to-day routines, including our morning and night time routine. We speak about sleep training, starting solids, meal planning and how everything feels daunting the first time around. We chat about how we block out the noise and do what’s best for our families, go at our own pace and do what feels comfortable to us.

The postpartum Identity crisis May 23, 2024

Show notes

Let’s chat: identity. Yes we are first and foremost moms, but we’re also so much more than that. Regardless of if you’re a working mom or a stay at home mom, we’re all innately multifaceted as humans, we’re sisters and daughters, friends and partners…the list goes on. In this episode, D&A chat about their previous identities, and how they’ve shifted, how motherhood has forced them to take inventory of their ‘roles’ and make adjustments to ensure alignment. They discuss identity crisis, questioning their purpose, uncovering so much about themselves after becoming a mom, and realizing that it’s okay to have conflicting desires - wanting to have a careers, yet also wanting to spend all day with your kids. Wanting to have alone time, but feel guilty taking it. Wanting to have an active social life, but not want to leave the house. All these different expressions can be true at the same time - the shame and guilt that comes with these desires is societal, not our own.

JOMO > FOMO May 09, 2024

Show notes

Comparison is innately part of us as and let’s be honest, this construct feels intensified during motherhood. From body image to baby milestones, preschool admissions and so much more, the comparison and fear of ‘falling behind’ is real. How do we ground ourselves? How do we tune inwards and learn to make decisions based on our own intuition? We explore how our ego meddles with our parenting decision and why it’s important to pause, take inventory and sometimes give ourselves a reality check.

We need help, not a new friend Apr 25, 2024

Show notes

All things nannies! The caregiver-parent dynamic and relationship can definitely be a complicated one. It’s an emotionally charged, intimate working relationship, which can arguably be one of the most important relationships working parents have. D&A chat hiring and switching nannies, the boss/employee dynamic, the day-to-day working relationship and what they’ve learned along the way.

I’d like to breastfeed in private, thanks. Apr 18, 2024

Show notes

In today’s episode, D&A chat all things boundaries and our experience with this construct starting in pregnancy and into motherhood. From visitors and family, to work and friendships, boundaries have become integral to keeping our sanity. As moms, time is our biggest commodity, and without boundaries, we’ve found ourselves feeling anxious and spread too thin, especially as recovering people pleasers. We don’t have all the answers, but we do shed light on how boundaries play a role in our lives, as well as discuss some of our personal favorites.
