It's 50/50 Not 1950 with Michael Perry
Myth of Motherhood
04/18/22 • 37 min
Our second DAD on the show! Have you ever wondered why we see more action toward equality in the workplace than we do at home? That we find it easier to navigate these discrepancies with HR than our partner? That parenting feels like 1950 instead of 50/50? This week’s guest Michael Perry, the founder of Maple, felt that way too. So yea, it’s not in our heads, a MAN felt it too! Michael Perry (He/Him) is the Founder and CEO of Maple, a company focused on building a better world for all parents. Prior to founding Maple, Michael founded Kit, which he sold to Shopify in 2016 and worked for over four years as an executive overseeing Marketing Technology. He has been included on Forbes’ 30 under 30 list, recognized by Inc. Magazine for his contributions in the messaging space, and named one of the top marketing executives in the world by Business Insider. Michael Currently lives in California with his wife, 2 sons, and two bulldogs.

Marriage After Baby: I'm A Mom, But I'm Not YOUR Mom
Myth of Motherhood
02/28/22 • 15 min
There’s this assumption that after we give birth, we spontaneously download a complete, updated guide on everything motherhood/parenting/baby. Suddenly everyone asks us to feel our foreheads, what type of jacket we need, and what’s for dinner. I don't know about you, but this made me furious. The automatic status of lead or default parent. Like I suddenly knew everything even though we were both new parents. This episode is based on my interpretation of these events. My experiences as a new, hormonal mom. Objectively speaking, my husband was incredible. That doesn’t change the societal pressure, standards, or expectations put on women when they give birth.

Constantly Calculating Motherhood with Erin Pasquet
Myth of Motherhood
03/21/22 • 29 min
We’re talking pinterest goals & instagram dreams and how that’s never how it shakes down in motherhood. Like everything else in life, adventures in parenting are rarely linear. There are twists and turns, checks and balances, risks and rewards that we are constantly calculating. This week’s guest is Erin Pasquet. A NYC based birth and postpartum doula, lactation counselor, childbirth educator and pre/postnatal yoga and fitness instructor. She’s a mom to a (silly, active and adventurous) little boy and is passionate about educating and empowering birthing people and families to make informed choices that are best for them. From pregnancy to parenting there are so many choices to consider and calculations to make. She’s a guide to help navigate the tricky terrain agenda free. Because Erin and I are based in new york city, we can’t help but talk about the insanity that is the pre school and kindergarten application process if you are in a position to consider private schools. I mean! There’s a reason Odd Mom Out, Gossip Girl, and the Nanny Diaries are so popular! And whether or not private school is the thing that’s currently making you coo coo bananas, we can all relate to the feeling that our baby’s entire future rests on every single decision we make. About anything and everything.

Finding Stability Again After Birth
Myth of Motherhood
03/28/22 • 22 min
Everything feels unsteady postpartum: your legs, your balance, your hormotions (that’s hormones and emotions mixed together). This is happening as a result of the havoc pregnancy runs on our bodies physically and the fact that you and everything in your life has now changed! Because you had a baby! Which is exactly how the story goes. But instead of staying unsteady and feeling unsafe, I’m sharing tips and tools to help you find stability physically and emotionally after baby. You can read the article I wrote about this here and follow me on IG for more ways you can find balance and stability in your body and your life @alissaalter Ready to take the next step together?

Taking Up Space Postpartum
Myth of Motherhood
03/14/22 • 20 min
There’s so much pressure after having a baby to look like you didn’t have a baby. Even though you definitely just had a baby. We are supposed to bounce, snap, fit right back into our old jeans and our old lives when everything about us is new. In this week’s episode Alissa shares about how we can reframe our experience of taking up more space, being held more fiercely by gravity, and owning our mom bods can change our experience. And hopefully influence societal expectations, pressures, and ideals placed on women’s postpartum bodies.

Identifying Your Blind Spots with Jenny Jackson
Myth of Motherhood
03/07/22 • 34 min
This week we are talking about identifying our blind spots in life, business, and parenting, how having adult tantrums is just like our kids’ tantrums, and how modeling a life of integrity and sustainability doesn’t have to be all or nothing. I met today’s guest Jenny Jackson who is the founder of Ave-Lumi and a mama on a mission to improve the sustainability of the fashion industry at a launch event in 2021. It was my first event of that kind and I knew nobody. If this had been a sorority party, Jenny quickly became my Big Sib. She took me under her wing, introduced me to people, and laughed at all of my jokes. As we spoke I was really inspired by Jenny’s passion for sustainability and the deep integrity she brings to her work and her life. You can feel this grounded authenticity radiating from her infectious smile. Ave Lumi is a destination for modern families to shop sustainably and live joyfully and I HIGHLY encourage you to check her out on instagram @ave_lumi and online www.ave-lumi.com You’ll notice we start this episode in a fit of laughter as I mention how I’d love a tech team. What we thought were technical issues on Jenny’s end, turned out to be my headphones not plugged in all the way. Which hey! We all have blind spots, right?
