Today on Mommywood, we’re switching perspectives and bringing in a dad.

I’m joined by actor and creator CK Bolado, who’s navigating the early days of fatherhood while building a career in an industry that doesn’t exactly slow down for life changes. We talk about what surprised him most about becoming a dad, how it’s shifted his identity as an actor, and what it really looks like trying to be present at home while still chasing your dreams.

CK also shares what inspired him to start posting parenting content, how he decides what to keep private, and the reality of showing up online without pretending to have it all figured out.

This conversation is honest, grounded, and a refreshing look at fatherhood from a perspective we don’t hear enough.

Whether you’re a parent, about to be one, or just trying to balance ambition with real life — this one’s for you.

On this episode of Mommywood, I’m talking to Lilan Bowden — and this one goes way beyond the usual actor interview.

We get into what it actually feels like to be in the middle of a career while raising a toddler. The constant rushing. The mental load. The moments you realize… maybe you’re the one making it harder.

Lilan opens up about:– why “don’t stress” is harder than it sounds– how motherhood changes the way you work (and think)– letting your kid slow you down… even when you don’t want to– and why your child might be the only “parenting book” you actually need

We also talk about her new podcast, Pondersations, which is basically the kind of conversations you only have when you finally drop the surface-level stuff.

This one is honest, funny, and a little bit of a reality check (in the best way).
