As a therapist... I suggest doing EMDR therapy. It will help you with the PTSD.

Hey Ladies! Just wanted to say, while I definitely miss our OG girlies, I’m really loving all the guest episodes these last several releases! Super stoked to have S, R, and P all back together, but it would be awesome to showcase more of the collective/other friends as guest stars in future episodes! Love the pod, I never miss an episode! 💕

@sophiegavroche 27 дней назад

This!

@roverb2591 27 дней назад

These episodes have felt so authentic and interesting, like we get to eavesdrop on a real conversation between friends. This is what the pod should be. And love the idea of showcasing more of the collective/ other friends.

@autumnssssss 26 дней назад

disagree, ryan paloma and sierra is a weird combination and their podcasts can be kind of awkward and uncomfortable.

@sarahkowalsky3984 27 дней назад

That was so sweet of Sierra's Mom to respond in that way. Especially when having a new baby is vulnerable in every way.

@kyliekathleen 27 дней назад

I’d love if the twenty whatever podcast had a rotating host list! Incorporate all the girlies like y’all do for the main channel videos, different combos for different topics, I think it would help the main channel too! 😊

@kaileythrower8543 20 дней назад

Yes to this! I usually don't make it through the full episode, but these guest episodes fly by!

Can we have more Momcasts? 🥹 Loved this episode!!

@littlemissbekah9722 27 дней назад

Girl. Your trader Joe's story. I am so sorry that is so unacceptable. I had someone say something similar to me when I announced my first pregnancy. "I wouldn't tell anyone else if I were you. A lot of people lose pregnancies that early, it's very common". Stole the air out of my lungs. Intense anxiety after. From pure joy to terror.

@anitaz917 27 дней назад

I don't have kids, but this episode was great...I would love for Sierra, Rachel and Kenzie to do more episodes. I relate to them more since I'm on my early 30's

@jaz9879 27 дней назад

What Rachel said about setting boundaries and breaking hearts but not caring is so so SO important. I am currently 37 weeks pregnant and 2 weeks ago my mom uninvited herself from my baby shower, took back her gifts, and dismissed herself from my babies life completely because I set certain boundaries and she was not ok with it and you know what.... I'm ok with her walking away. The boundaries I choose to set for my child need to be respected no if ands or buts and like sierra said, you WILL respect these boundaries if you want to be a part of the babies life. If you can't do that then we are all probably better off with you not being around.

@peachxtaehyung 25 дней назад

Wow wtf? I am so so sorry! I cannot imagine not having my mom being around my child's life. I wish people would understand even if it's that's your grandchild it doesn't mean you can raise it however you want. Help raise it how their actual parents want it to be raised you know? Things change so not everyone should be raised the same way

@lenkasvambergova4159 22 дня назад

I dont normally comment, but please please ADD KENZIE to the regular podcasts! I love what she has to say, she has a super calming voice and she brings something special to the cast!

@andreafrancis4823 26 дней назад

I know this would be a lot of extra work, but if y’all had an additional podcast with Sierra, Kenzie, and Rachel just talking about motherhood that would be so amazing.

@andreanewton580 27 дней назад

No shade to the OG girlies, but I loved this episode and I’m not a mom. This is the first episode I’ve watched in its entirety in months!

@KrislonR 25 дней назад

Really loved this momcast. Obvi love P & R, too, but i relate to this more in my 30s (even though I'm not a mom). So appreciated all of you sharing so vulnerably about your lives and motherhood. The friendship you share is so tender and beautiful.

@aleksandrastojanovic3172 25 дней назад

I enjoyed the conversation with Kenzie and Rachel, I find them really relatable and genuine. I would love to hear from them again

@mirandabands854 27 дней назад

I never comment on anything but I just wanted to say that this was such an amazing episode and I really appreciate your guys’ willingness to be so open about the harder parts of parenthood. I am not a parent lol, but if I am someday, I really hope I am able to find a community that is as uplifting as yours. And on a lighter note, I think it is so amazing that Kenzie, despite her social anxiety, was able to see Harry styles in concert by herself! That resonated with me as a person that has had social anxiety my whole life, but also goes to concerts alone (mainly to see Harry lol). There’s something so freeing about his shows and I am beyond happy that Kenzie was able to experience that, especially at a (seemingly) dark time.

@KrislonR 25 дней назад

Well said!

@kelseyp600 27 дней назад

Amazing episode ladies. I would love this to be a recurring trio…maybe once a quarter or a couple times a year we have a momcast!! Pls!

@KC-jt7dk 26 дней назад

More content like this please. Don't usually listen to this podcast cos I don't feel it's aimed at me. But this one is great. Especially love Kenzie!

@BreBreS11 27 дней назад

Love the momcast! Can this become a regular thing??

@lexyeast4896 27 дней назад

I love seeing Sierra and Rachel as moms/momspiration so much that now I want to see Kenzie as a mom too (obviously I respect not wanting that to be online or public, but I love knowing that 2 moms I look up to look up to Kenzie)

@erinw6726 27 дней назад

Just had my 3rd baby (all 2ish years apart) and oh my goodness I wish everyone could go into parenthood with a 3rd child. The level of confidence and chill, it's a game changer. I know not everyone would thrive with 3+ kids so it's more the confidence that I wish upon every parent.

@halliefleischmann6634 27 дней назад

This episode was so tender ❤ My woo girl moment is that despite struggling with my mental health due to a diagnosis a few months ago, after a successful surgery to remove my thyroid, recovering I am officially cancer free :’) ❤️

@jent98 27 дней назад

I LOVE all of the open and honest conversation from each of you and hearing your birth stories!!! ❤❤❤ I knew immediately when you mentioned the Trader Joe’s lady she must have had a loss. How inappropriate and scary for you!! I had someone do same thing when I was pregnant with my first, telling me not to get too comfortable because she lost one. I ended up losing that son at 16 weeks (pregnant). 20 years later, I still think about how wrong it was for her to have ever said. Good for you for sticking up for yourself! I wish I would’ve said more and always try to be super positive around pregnant people!

@nathalieeckstrom8119 26 дней назад

Almost 33 weeks pregnant with my first baby! I cannot express how much I needed to hear the advice for a new mom. I have been around babies my whole life and am a nurse but I feel so unprepared. Have to just let my instincts take over to take care of my baby boy! Love the podcast and have been watching since the very first episode of Sierra Unfiltered when it was Sierra and Skylar❤

@ilovebeautyandthings 21 день назад

UM can this be the new podcast?!?!?! Because I LOVE this trio. As a mom, this was literally so validating and could relate SO much. Love how you guys hold each others experiences and respond with uplifting kindness. Please more of this content!!

@oliviahopkins8681 27 дней назад

1:12:28 kenzie talking about the exit strategy was actually so validating. that is a huge anxiety trigger for me if i don’t have a way out of any situation at all times.

@ashleybalck2743 25 дней назад

Thank you so much for that last question... I don't think you realize how many of us moms were listening and just needed to hear that we are doing a great job. Thank you.

@alexacado 26 дней назад

Would love for this to be a more regular thing!! Im a new mom too and I need more mom pods lol

@kmegans 27 дней назад

My favourite podcast yet - love Rachel and Kenzie and think mom cast should happen again! Also, as a fellow hyperemesis Mum who is 27 weeks through her second, miserable HG pregnancy, I couldn't identify with Kenzie more. I always thought I'd have three or four kids but honestly unsure now if I can ever do this again. People are so unfamiliar with it they just don't often understand how hellish the experience is. Well done for Kenzie making it through 2 pregnancies - it genuinely is a super human effort that comes with a huge mental toll and so much guilt for the 'neglect' of your first kid, your family, friends etc while you're ill. And as for body image after pregnancy, some personal grace is needed - think of it as the same as if you swapped bodies with someone else, you have to relearn all of your positivity because you don't fully know this different body yet. So hard to do! Thanks girls for being so inspiring, real and talking about these issues 👏

@alexaramos7714 27 дней назад

I didn’t think this episode would get me so emotional but I literally cried the whole way through. Not a mom but hope to be someday and have so many fears about it. Hearing these girls be so open helped so much. And Sierra watching you go through life is amazing and thank you for always sharing and being so open. ❤

@diamondpayne5959 27 дней назад

It is incredibly validating to hear you 3 talk about the default parent/burnout/resentment stuff. I’m in the same situation where my husband is AMAZING and so involved and not only does what he’s asked but also takes initiative. But it’s STILL unbalanced just because of me being the mom and it’s something I struggle with so much. I feel guilty when I get resentful or frustrated because I feel like I have no right to feel those things when I have such a great partner.

@megand576 27 дней назад

Loving the birth/momma videos! Listening to Sierra’s Trader Joe’s story had me so angry for what happened to her and gave me flashbacks to a similar situation I experienced with my 2 year old son. The story- our family had suffered an extremely traumatic event a few weeks prior so being out in public was already scary for me. A woman in her 60’s came up to me while my son was in the shopping cart and said “he’s so friendly” while waving. Thought nothing of it, said “yep!” and moved on. Got to the check out and the same lady came running up to me saying “you need to be more careful! Your son can be stolen at any moment. You’re not paying attention to him!” I felt flustered and scared that she was going to try and take him. I started yelling “I GOT IT, THANK YOU!” while putting my hand out in a “stop” motion. I legit paid and ran out of the store. Threw everything into the car as quick as possible and sobbed in the parking lot.

@katefrench5270 27 дней назад

I'm a mother of a 23 year old and a 15 year old, so it's been minute since I had a baby...however, I distinctly remember the mean and judgmental things people would say. So now, I make a point to tell new moms what a great job they're doing when I see them out. Heck, being upright and outside-you're killing it! Surviving those early years is worth a medal! Be kind, people!

@velvetstonebraker9874 27 дней назад

Yes please make this a recurring segment!!! ❤

@MeganLarabee 27 дней назад

Woo girl moment: I am a toddler mom and didn’t work out at all for the first year-ish of my daughter’s life. This year I told myself it was time to start taking time back for me, and today I ran a 5K in under 30 freaking minutes!! I can do hard things, and I’ll do them with my baby girl watching so she knows she can too!

@KrislonR 25 дней назад

Congratulations, that's awesome!

@danikaplopez 25 дней назад

@daisydog 27 дней назад

That sounds amazing and something I will absolutely do if I have a kid ❤

@SecretPunk1 27 дней назад

Sierra I struggled so much with body image after my second. I think a second pregnancy (and eventual third) changed my body more than my first! Honestly the voice that helped me the most through that was yours. I found you somewhere between my second and third and it’s been so healing to hear you talk about your body image. All this to say, I see you where you are. And I thank you for being that positive voice when I needed it ❤

@ANA_youre_enough 27 дней назад

Please continue with the guests and this mom cast ❤ truly special and would love to hear your guys thoughts on motherhood more often!

@annatigges8058 27 дней назад

Ladies, thank you for this episode! I'm currently 38 weeks pregnant with my first and I honestly wasn't sure if I should watch this episode, because I feel like both in real life and online you almost exclusively hear aaaall the negatives about pregnancy and birth and parenting and as a fellow anxious girlie it has been so disheartening so often.. so thank you for being real but also closing up so positively ❤

@abbiejohnson5223 26 дней назад

I’m 32. I know I want kid(s), but it’s not a good time since both my spouse and I are about to start new jobs and we want to buy a house next summer. I’m so scared to wait because I’m going to be on the upper end of the ideal age range. Hearing Rachel say she wants a bunch of kids as an early 30s girl is so comforting for me. Also, love the podcast! (seen every single episode on this channel)

@ANA_youre_enough 27 дней назад

15:53 this hit my heart so hard. Honestly the way your mom heard your request and instead of fighting you or undermining you or making you feel like what you said was overrated (regardless of its legitimacy) means everything. I think the biggest part that people forget (of older generations specifically) is that when it’s new to you and you’re trying to figure it out and it’s the biggest life change you’ve gone through so far, so much unknown and you’re scared and they hear you and respect what you’re saying -when you’re as vulnerable as you are - is the most impactful thing you can do ❤❤❤❤❤❤

@morgan_williams 27 дней назад

I think what’s hardest about setting boundaries with parents (if you had decent parents) is that when they were in your shoes, with a new baby, they did everything they could to be the best parents for you, and they are trying to share what was helpful for them as new parents.

@emmamatson8243 27 дней назад

Sierra, Rachel & Kenzie- I don’t have kids, I’m 24 (as of TODAY!)- but I still relate to this conversation of life changes and how it relates to how you feel about yourself mentally and physically. I love this side of the pod- I like to hear the serious conversations and the silly fun ones too! Thank you thank you thank you!! ❤

@alainapecor2794 27 дней назад

After two very brutal miscarriages we're finally talking about trying again, and my anxiety is through the roof. One of my biggest anxieties is being a bad parent so Kenzie saying that means the world to me. Actually this whole podcast was super helpful. Y'all are my mommy inspo❤️

@kaileythrower8543 27 дней назад

The three of you ladies chatting together is so good! This episode was so relatable and I enjoyed hearing your perspectives, the way you uplift each other is really nice to hear. Would love more Kenzie and Rachel on the pod moving forward!

@cocakelady 27 дней назад

I totally agree about the trust thing - my son had several food allergies, and my mom kept saying "zits fine, just give him a little bit at a time and he'll get used to it!" I never left him in her care...

@createconsiderconnect3356 27 дней назад

Kenzie - My mom struggled with the level of anxiety you experience. It’s difficult, but it’s a true disorder that can only be helped so much. It’s just a part of you & that’s ok! You saying you always have to have an exit strategy was exactly the way mom was. Hugs!

@MeganLarabee 27 дней назад

We had our baby girl a couple of years back during a high RSV and covid outbreak and we had family members literally walk out over being asked to wear a mask if they were holding her. We tried so hard to be flexible but my GOD the most exhausting part of parenting sometimes is managing the expectations of the family and holding boundaries.

@lindseegwerder1561 21 день назад

@GS-gd4yc 19 дней назад

Oh my goodness. I’m a 50 year old grandmother of a 7 year old girl and a 4 year old boy ( who is on the spectrum), and I have found myself as an almost full time grandmother. My husband ( grandpa) is so supportive, but I JUST had to have a talk with him how overwhelmed I’m feeling. I have been on full time grandma duty for 2 months ( this time around) and it took me those two months of getting worn down and feeling resentful, before I finally got through to him that I am Mary Poppins for the days and nights until I’m not! He just called me from work today and ask what days this coming week would work for me for him to take a half day of work and come home to give me a break. We have been married for 25 years and I can honestly say this is huge, and makes my heart so happy that he is listening to me, understanding me, and is thinking about a plan to help out. So I’d love to let you ladies know that your wonderful husbands will get even more wonderful as you grow together as a couple, as parents, and then grandparents. ❤

Mom of two here. As the default parent and sahm, a guideline/rule I set for myself is that if my husband suggests an outing/activity/vacation he’s responsible for booking it. I’ll help with logistics but he can handle getting our kid signed up for soccer.

@japjap_jule 26 дней назад

I dont want to be a mother. I dont want children at all. I actually gave a child up for adoption and have since gotten a sterilization so I wont get pregnant again. But this episode and listening to you all talk about motherhood was great. I did not feel like i am missing something or that it changes my opinion or that i regret what i did. It made me realize that YOU are meant to be mothers and I am not. You are all glowing and great moms ❤

@mallorykish8053 27 дней назад

I’ve had OCD my entire life but didn’t know/wasn’t diagnosed correctly until after I gave birth to my daughter. I thought the intrusive thoughts I’ve dealt with my entire life were normal (lol SIKE) but after having intrusive thoughts about my sweet baby girl I knew I needed help. I wasn’t able to hold my daughter near a microwave, kitchen knives, or the CLOSED door to the basement for months. I started believing that my little family that I’ve always dreamed of would be better off without me. I felt that someone who has these violent thoughts should not be around children. When I told my OBGYN physician I sobbed and said “Please don’t take my baby away.” All she did was hold my hand and say “I am so glad you told me.” I immediately was given a prescription and recommendations for psychiatrists and counselors. PLEASE TELL SOMEONE IF YOU START TO EXPERIENCE POSTPARTUM MENTAL ILLNESS. It is SO common and your support people want to help you 💙

@jaykaytherapy 27 дней назад

Yes! I had no idea I had postpartum OCD with my first. Took 2.5 years to get help!

@valerieramirez238 23 дня назад

@mrs.e3909 26 дней назад

Some people have such good common sense with their babies and are able to navigate motherhood with their intuition guiding the way. I was an older mother and thought it would serve me, but I had not been around many babies to have experienced what it was like to have a newborn. I feel like I did not grow comfortably in to motherhood until the toddler stage.

@olivialmclaughlin 27 дней назад

I LOVE this! My daughter is a few months younger than Grace and I’m not surrounded by gentle role-models when it comes to parenting, so I really study Sierra’s vlogs and how she interacts with Grace and it’s helped sooo much. Ofc I’m eating this up :) I do miss P and Riayn though I am loving the mommy based content too

@rachelm7592 27 дней назад

I wish the podcast was like this all the time! I love Kenzie and Rachel! My woo-girl moment is confronting my homophobic coworker who was using AIDS as a punchline! It was super nerve-wracking but in so proud I stood up for myself, my queer community, and my values. ❤️🧡🩷

@user-ni7iq1fx4f 20 дней назад

Wow so relatable! Loved the answer to the first question about setting boundaries with family / friends. I love the way it was articulated that those first few weeks of being with your newborn you are learning all about their little personality and it is such a sacred time for you and your partner and your baby! My parents / in laws are going to have a very hard time understanding that when I tell them something similar that those first few days / weeks with your newborn are incredibly intimate and the idea of having to host people and be in such a vulnerable state is incredibly overwhelming and anxiety inducing. I also do not want anyone at the hospital other than my husband and I don't think my mom is going to like hearing that at all, but setting boundaries early on is so important. Thank you for sharing.

@TheSelenaCo 27 дней назад

The old lady in the parking lot story is why we therapy, coaching, counselling, and other healing/processing modalities need to be normalized. That woman had unprocessed “stuff” that made her say those things, that ended up hurting Sierra (and potentially other mothers). It’s not ok for that to happen and if she had done her internal work Sierra wouldn’t be crying in a parking lot and talking about it on the pod. Not to mention the processing she had to do when after the incident.

@kyliekathleen 26 дней назад

I also had really prepared myself for PPD & PPA and was surprised at how well I handled those first few months! But at 3 months my son had his first seizure, and later was diagnosed with epilepsy caused by a rare genetic mutation (SCN8A), and ever since my anxiety has been nonstop. Becoming a mom to a disabled child has totally flipped every expectation I had about motherhood. It can be really, really difficult, but it’s still so special and amazing to get to watch this little guy grow at his own pace ❤ just hard because a lot of those things that I expected would get easier in time (like leaving him with relatives for a date night or weekend away) still haven’t for us

I’m 43 and have 5 kids. My oldest is 24 and youngest is 13, and I still have these intrusive ”post partum anxiety” kind of thoughts over my kids. And I also still struggle with after kids body image. My skin is so thin, thanks to EDS, that I still have tiger stripes over my belly. I guess they do not always eventually fade away 😅 Parenting is hard but worth every cry and sleepless night❤ You all are so awesome parents❤❤❤

@becca7358 26 дней назад

I’m 6 months PP and am also a confident plus size woman. I LOVED my body when pregnant and it is easy to be frustrated with how things fit. I mainly focus on how strong I’ve become holding my daughter all day. I appreciate my flexibility and being able to sit on the ground to play. I love how I can pick up my daughter and dance around the kitchen to make her laugh. My widened hips are perfect for picking her up as we make dinner. I’m so blessed by my body and what it can do for myself and my baby and focus on that first. Loved this podcast, would be great for a part two in a couple months!

Not a mom, but I loved this episode so much! I love you ladies so much! The whole team is filled with amazing ladies! I’m excited for riayn and Paloma to come back but I’m also really loving things episodes and getting different perspectives. I especially love when yall talked about being the default parent because that’s so true, everything a mom does is expected and when a dad does those same things it’s celebrated like it’s revolutionary lol. Anyways uhh I kind of went off the rails with this comment 😂

Aww Kenzie, I’m so sorry that your pregnancies are so hard and you don’t necessarily feel done yet. Big hugs ❤ Also you’re the first person who has talked about needing an exit strategy! That’s how my anxiety manifests and if I can’t leave on my own accord or easily, then I get panic attacks. No cruises for me either 🚫

My experience was similar to Kenzie’s. I feel that I totally lost myself in pregnancy and postpartum with my first born. We were also right in the middle of COVID lockdown when he was born so I was isolated and terrified. I felt like I got to reclaim a lot of that with my second which helped me find myself again 💕
