Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

52 | The Motherwhelm with Elizabeth | Pregnancy After 40, Miscarriage & Fertility
Q: If you could go back and visit yourself before you became a mother, what advice would you give her?
Her guidance would be that it will all be okay, acknowledging the fear and hardships of losses and sleep deprivation, and reassuring that there is light at the end of the tunnel and that life will become navigable with time and support.
52 | The Motherwhelm with Elizabeth | Pregnancy After 40, Miscarriage & Fertility
Q: How was adjustment to be a mother and a business owner and everything?
Elizabeth describes returning to business life as relatively easy, but being a mother required redefining priorities, managing time, and ensuring she showed up for her kids. She explains leveraging help, delegating, and reorganizing her workflow to balance three kids and multiple ventures while maintaining presence for her family.
52 | The Motherwhelm with Elizabeth | Pregnancy After 40, Miscarriage & Fertility
Q: Okay. Do you want a chance to talk about your birth stories at all?
Elizabeth agrees to share, recounting her first birth with a planned C-section that turned traumatic, including being manhandled on the table, post-surgery pain, and later NICU experience, followed by two more births with varied complications and higher risk. She emphasizes the emotional and physical toll and how those experiences shaped her approach to motherhood and fertility coaching.
53 | The Motherwhelm with Tara | Birth Trauma, Postpartum Anxiety & Building Proud Poppy
Q: How did Proud Poppy come about?
I wanted clothes that fit my changing body and looked good, especially after feeling unseen as a new mom; the brand emerged from a need to empower women to feel confident and supported.
53 | The Motherwhelm with Tara | Birth Trauma, Postpartum Anxiety & Building Proud Poppy
Q: What were your expectations of motherhood before you had children?
I expected a perfect, stay-at-home life, but reality was the opposite—postnatal anxiety, disrupted sleep, and an urgent need to redefine what 'good' motherhood looks like.
