The "I See You, Mama" podcast is a weekly (if the stars align and none of our kids get sick) conversation with women who are doing the work of motherhood. We go deep, we get to the good stuff. We may be folding laundry mountain, driving carpool, or have a spare moment but in the crazy work of motherhood, we are making sure we are feeding our own souls. This is the good stuff. We laugh. We cry. We lay it all out there.
I've been up all night. When this mama gets sick, gets anxious, gets worried, sleep is the first thing to go. Ariana talks about anxiety and mental health, all while making breakfast on an early Monday morning.

Porsche Pope is my lovely guest of the week and we talk all about how she takes people and their style to the next level. We talk about how she became a mother, how that merges with her work life, and what it looks like to be a personal stylist. Not only does she style humans, but homes and cuisine. It's more than clothes. Food, Fashion and Decor.
