Today’s episode is a special one, we wanted to dedicate an entire episode to mothers day to honor the moms in our life! We brought on Vanessa Spinarsky, a clinical social worker to help talk about this in a way that feels real and not so glamorous like is often portrayed on social media.We’re not here for the Pinterest-perfect version of being a mom, we’re talking about the messy, beautiful, overwhelming, and very real truth of it all.

Vanessa is a mom of two, a clinical social worker, speaker, and co-founder of The Mama Healing Hub. She specializes in supporting women, especially mothers, who feel stuck in cycles of burnout, perfectionism, and emotional depletion.

Vanessa is passionate about helping women step into new ways of being, ones rooted in nervous system resilience, confidence, and honoring their own needs without guilt. She speaks openly about the raw, unfiltered side of motherhood: the identity loss, the emotional labor, and the hard truths we’re often afraid to name. Vanessa is an advocate for authenticity, healing, and the power of community, because real transformation doesn’t just happen in isolation. It happens in spaces where moms feel seen, supported, and no longer alone.

Whether you’re a mom yourself, thinking about becoming one, or just want to understand what the moms in your life might be going through, this conversation is for you. We also want to dedicate this episode to our amazing moms, because we wouldn't be able to do any of this without them!
