This week on Life’s a Mom, I’m getting honest about Thanksgiving — the gratitude, the chaos, the overwhelm, and the way motherhood makes everything feel more intense in every direction.

I start this episode by reading a “Dear Nicole” letter from a mom in my Mom Dates & Play Dates community that touched me deeply. Her words reminded me why I started this group in the first place and why the connection between moms matters so much. After responding, I dive right into the heart of today’s episode.

In this Thanksgiving episode, I talk about:

• What I’m genuinely grateful for this year
• How motherhood has completely changed my meaning of gratitude
• Why gratitude can feel hard when I’m tired, overwhelmed, or overstimulated
• How my community has become my true village
• a message I want to share with any mom who feels lonely or unseen during the holidays

This episode is real, warm, emotional, and grounding. It’s for every mom who is thankful and tired, joyful and overwhelmed, blessed and human.

In this episode, I’m opening up about something every couple experiences, even the ones who look perfect from the outside — the seasons where marriage feels heavy, distant, or more like a roommate situation than a romantic partnership. After babies, careers, stress, and life moving fast, it’s easy to lose connection without even realizing it.

Ben and I have always had a great relationship, but we weren’t immune to those moments. Between raising kids and both becoming CEOs, we had to learn how to realign, communicate better, and intentionally bring fun back into our marriage. And it changed everything.

Today, I’m sharing the real steps we took — from shared Google calendars to nightly check-ins, deeper conversations, therapy even when things are good, and choosing playfulness and teamwork over frustration and silence. We rebuilt our spark in a way that feels stronger, more joyful, and more united than ever.

Suppose your relationship has felt off, heavy, or disconnected. In that case, this episode is part love story, part practical guide, and part warm reminder that you’re not alone — and that reconnection is absolutely possible. Marriage evolves, and with intention, it can grow into something even better.

This episode will give you hope, tools, laughter, and a little nudge to choose each other again… even in the chaos of parenting and real life.

This episode is extra special — my good friend Gal from New York joins me! She was the original inspiration behind Mom Date and Play Dates, and she’s doing incredible things for moms and families in Westchester County, just like we are here in Palm Beach.

Together, we talk about how it all started, the importance of community, and what it means to create spaces where moms can truly connect and support one another. We also share our journeys of building meaningful friendships, balancing life and motherhood, and finding purpose through bringing women together across different communities.
