Tell Me I'm a Good Mom with Lo Bosworth Natale

Lo Bosworth Natale spent years studying what women's bodies actually need as the the founder and CEO of Love Wellness, a women’s health brand sold at Target, Ulta, Walmart, and CVS. Then she got pregnant and realized she didn’t know anything about this next part.

Tell Me I’m a Good Mom is not a parenting podcast. It’s what happens when the woman who built the wellness brand becomes the case study, and she’s figuring it out in public, one episode at a time. Identity shifts, medical honesty, postpartum moments that don’t make the grid, and the conversations women are having in private but not out loud.

New episodes every Wednesday. Come back weekly, it’s still unfolding.

Tell Me I’m a Good Mom is part of the Dear Media podcast network.

Is Walking Away The Best Mom Move? ft. Hannah Bronfman

A few months postpartum with her daughter Claude, Hannah Bronfman folded a $40 million venture fund she'd spent two years raising. In this episode, she tells me exactly why, and the answer is not what I expected. We talk about what it means to walk away from something you spent two years on. About the moment your body starts telling you a job is wrong, and what it takes to actually listen. About fundraising as a woman investing in women's health in a market that quietly killed the girl boss. Abo...

Why Emily Oster Breastfed When Her Data Says Formula Is Fine

If you read Crib Sheet during pregnancy or kept Expecting Better on your nightstand, you already know Emily Oster. She's the economist who reads the parenting studies the rest of us pretend to. The one who told a whole generation of women, with actual data, that we could relax about a lot of things we had been losing sleep over. I've been a fan for years. So when I got to sit down with her, I asked her every question I've had since I gave birth. We got into the breastfeeding thing. The part wher...

7 Kids, 4 Baby Daddies, And One Of Them Lives Next Door, With The OG Teen Mom Kailyn Lowry

I have one baby. Kailyn Lowry has seven. So obviously the first thing I asked her was how the f*ck her body has done that. I've been a Kailyn girly since the original Teen Mom days, so sitting across from her felt like a full circle moment from my own MTV era. Bonus: within thirty seconds we'd figured out she was a Laguna girly too. Match made in heaven. Kailyn has been a person in public since she was 17. Most of the women she came up with on MTV aren't here anymore. Kailyn is. She has millions...

Dr. Becky On Why Becoming A Mom Isn't Actually About Your Baby

I cried in the back of an Uber after my first dinner out post-baby. I'd had one and a half martinis (a mistake), I'd left my husband at home with the baby (he was thrilled for me to go), and I felt so guilty I genuinely couldn't stop sobbing. Mom guilt, right? That's what we'd call it. Except according to Dr. Becky Kennedy, clinical psychologist, founder of Good Inside, and probably the most followed parenting expert on the planet, what I was feeling probably wasn't actually guilt at all. It was...

Community Episode: The Part Before The Baby

Welcome to the first community episode of Tell Me I'm A Good Mom. I read hundreds of stories that came in through the Q+A form, and the theme I couldn't stop reading was the part of motherhood that happens years before the baby arrives. The IVF cycles. The miscarriages. The diagnoses that blindside you. The appointments where a doctor asks you a question you don't have the vocabulary for yet. In this episode I share three community stories with permission. Sherri, on seven IVF cycles and signing...

"I Thought I Was Going to Die" with Meaghan O'Connell

The day after I had the baby, I fainted in my hospital room. Blood pressure skyrocketing, doctors running in, a brain aneurysm fear I couldn't shake, a day-old baby at the foot of the bed. I was convinced that was how my story ended. It wasn't. And it turns out most new moms have some version of this story. Nobody warns us. This week I sit down with writer Meaghan O'Connell, author of And Now We Have Everything: On Motherhood Before I Was Ready, the book that started telling the truth about new ...

Childcare Costs HOW Much?! ft. Finance Expert Vivian Tu

The number that broke my brain wasn't the birth cost. It was the daycare quote.Vivian Tu, finance expert, Your Rich BFF, and New York Times bestselling author, came on to talk about the actual financial reality of becoming a parent — not the "start a 529" version you've heard a hundred times. The version where even financially stable people feel underwater in year one, and why that doesn't mean you're doing it wrong.We got into the STRIP method (her framework for getting your money actually orga...

The IVF Numbers Nobody Tells You: Egg Count, Embryo Odds & NAD+ Therapy w/ Dr. Sheeva Talebian

I went through three egg retrievals, an endo surgery, and one transfer to get my daughter. Here's everything I wish I'd known before I started. I sat down with Dr. Sheeva Talebian, reproductive endocrinologist at CCRM Fertility New York, to talk about what IVF actually looks like from the inside. The math nobody warns you about. The lifestyle changes that actually move the needle on egg quality. What NAD+ therapy does for fertility and why more western doctors are finally paying attention. And w...

I'm Trapped in my Postpartum Body | Postpartum Recovery, Hormones, & Body Image

I'm 8 weeks postpartum and I'm not okay. Not in a crisis — but not in the version of this that gets posted online either. I'm in the messy, unglamorous, nobody-talks-about-this middle of it. And I wanted to put it on record, in real time, because I genuinely could not find content that showed me what this actually looks like when you're living it. I have a retained placenta. A large ovarian cyst. Bleeding that won't stop. Hormones so destabilizing they feel, I'm not exaggerating, like a psychede...

I Was on Laguna Beach at 17. Being Pregnant Online Hits Different.

I've been sharing my life publicly since I was 17 — first on Laguna Beach, then The Hills, then a decade of building Love Wellness by being honest about my body and my health. So when I got pregnant, keeping it private was never really the question. And I get into my TV origin story on today's episode.. But being pregnant online is different. This episode is part manifesto, part cultural riff on why the instinct to share a moment this big has always existed — long before the internet gave it a n...

My Birth Story: What Nobody Prepared Me For

I had a plan. Birth had other ideas. I'm starting this podcast the only way that felt right — with the story that started everything. In this episode, I'm sharing the birth plan I made, the vaginal birth I hoped for, and the emergency C-section I didn't see coming. This is my birth trauma, my recovery, and the moment I realized motherhood was never going to go the way I expected. If your birth story didn't go according to plan, this one's for you. —————————————————— Newsletter— where I break dow...

Introducing: Tell Me I'm A Good Mom w/ Lo Bosworth

Pregnancy and motherhood come with pressure, opinions, and plenty of advice, but very few honest conversations about how it actually feels to be a mom. “Tell Me I’m a Good Mom” speaks to the pressure to get it right and the fear of being judged when we don’t. Through her own transition into motherhood, Lo Bosworth Natale explores the identity shift, expectations, emotional plot twists, and educational hacks that make the journey lighter, all while navigating a culture that performs, posts, and r...
