We like to say we don’t care what people think and most of the time, we really don’t. But what about those moments when something we say gets taken the wrong way, or someone’s opinion suddenly hits a little too close? In today's episode we are getting real about the balance between confidence and sensitivity, especially as moms. We’re unpacking why we really don’t care… and the moments when we actually do...

This episode is for every mom who has ever woken up, looked in the mirror, and thought, okay… is this hormones or is this just my life now? We’re talking periods, bloating, breakouts, mood swings, exhaustion, all of it. One week we feel glowy and confident and productive, and the next week we’re pale, puffy, irrationally irritated, and wondering why our jeans suddenly feel disrespectful. And somehow in the middle of that we’re expected to be calm, patient, and emotionally stable for our kids. and.....It’s a lot.

We’re also being honest about the things we do to feel better. The “maybe I just need a tan.” The mascara therapy. The “if I lose five pounds I’ll feel normal again” spiral. The quick fixes we know aren’t always great but feel like something we can control. And can we talk about nursing? Because yes.....it’s beautiful. It’s bonding. It’s sacred. And also… my boobs after multiple kids? Not the same. No one prepares you for loving your body and grieving it at the exact same time.

And the truth is, underneath all of it, we’re just trying to hold it together. We want to feel strong and feminine and attractive, not bloated and invisible. We want to show up as the best version of ourselves for our families without completely losing ourselves in the process. So we’re talking hormones, menopause eventually coming for all of us, body changes, confidence, and what actually helps versus what just temporarily distracts us. It’s real, it’s unfiltered, and it’s the conversation we all need but don’t always say out loud.

In this episode of The Mom Salon, we’re breaking down personality types Type A, Type B, Z and all the gray areas in between and talking about how becoming a mom can totally flip the script. Were you always the organized, color-coded calendar mom? Or the go-with-the-flow, “we’ll figure it out” type… until kids forced you to pick a lane?

With a therapist’s perspective and the kind of talk that happens in a hairdresser’s chair, we explore how stress, responsibility, and mental load can push Type B moms into Type A habits (and vice versa), how our personalities show up in parenting, partnerships, and friendships, and why there’s no “right” way to be wired as a mom.

If you’ve ever wondered why you feel more controlling, more chill, or just different than you used to, this episode will make you feel seen, validated, and maybe laugh a little at how motherhood rewires us all.
