Today McLean is joined by holistic beauty coach and advocate for BII (Breast Implant Illness) awareness, Amanda Porta.

She has advised thousands of women around the world from celebrities to athletes to prominent businesswomen that have trusted her expertise to support them through this health crisis. She and McLean discuss the history and types of implants, the lack of informed consent with implants, and how they can even affect breastfeeding.

| 13 Jul 2022 | 117 | Rebirth with Kenzie Burke | 00:59:34 | |
In today’s episode, McLean is joined by Kenzie Burke as they dive into Kenzie's journey of awakening and rebirth. Based in Malibu, California, Kenzie Burke is the founder of BRÛLÉ; a clothing line whose namesake stems from its definitional association with fire. For founder and designer Kenzie Burke, fire is the impetus from which artistry springs forth. After gaining acclaim in the health and wellness space, Kenzie burnt it down to launch her lifelong passion: a clothing line focused on bringing lasting taste into fashion. BRÛLÉ is where life emerges from ashes. Kenzie previously managed a wellness social media account and created a podcast with more than 600,000 downloads. She also produced three health and wellness books and a superfood line of biodynamic coffee and cacao. However, in 2021, she disengaged from wellness and focused solely on fashion. McLean was inspired by Kenzie’s pivot and wanted to have her on the show to be an authentic example of how to support yourself through massive change. Kenzie shares how and why she had to drop everything and what it felt like to deeply surrender in order to get back up and rebuild herself again. In this episode of Mother the Mother:

| 03 Apr 2019 | 003 | Mamaste, Mindful Moms, & Supporting Women On the Birth Journey | with Lori Bregman | 00:56:38 | |
Today, I am so honored to be able to share one of the most positive women that I know (I swear she is sprinkled with fairy dust): Lori Bregman, a renowned doula, life coach, healer, and the author of both The Mindful Mom to Be and Mamaste: Discover a More Authentic, Balanced, and Joyful Motherhood from Within. From the day that I met Lori as a brand new Postpartum Doula, she has been nothing shy of a sister of the heart and mentor to me. She has encouraged me and lifted me up when I needed guidance, and I know that all of her clients feel the same way about her. With over 15 years of experience, Lori works with moms to be and new moms on all aspects of their personal transformation, from fertility through pregnancy and into new motherhood. She is unique in her innate ability to blend spiritual coaching, healing, and intuition, fully integrating them into a powerful Doula practice. Lori cultivates a strong relationship with her clients by supporting them throughout the entire process – before, during and after the birth – because the delivery is just one part of the journey of birthing not only a healthy baby, but also a healthy mother.

That is why Olivia – who is a certified Death Midwife, Home Funeral Guide, and Celebrant – founded Sacred Crossings with the vision of changing the culture of death and dying through education, death midwifery, and home funerals.

Kimberly Ann Johnson is a dear friend and colleague, and she has been an expander and inspiration for me ever since inviting me to be on her podcast! I joined her just four days before I gave birth to Goldy Wolf, and I was in the “birth zone” so I loved sharing what it was like to be in that portal and what my hopes and dreams were for my birth (spoiler: they came true!). That was my first ever podcast interview, so really, you can think of Kimberly as my “podcast mom!” Kimberly is a Sexological Bodyworker, a Somatic Experiencing trauma resolution practitioner, a birth doula, and a single mom. She specializes in helping women prepare for birth, recover from birth injuries and birth trauma, and heal from sexual trauma. She is the author of the bestselling book The Fourth Trimester: A Postpartum Guide to Healing Your Body, Balancing Your Emotions and Restoring Your Vitality, an incredible book that I recommend to any new mom or mom-to-be!

Lara Elliott, M.S. LAc is the incredible, inspiring woman who taught me reiki, and she’s really become a dear friend over the years. I have so much respect for the way that she works and how she has studied so many different modalities: craniosacral therapy, Reiki, acupuncture, chinese medicine, and Zen Buddhism to name a few. But before she transitioned into the healing arts, Lara was in the fashion world for years – and I love that because I really resonate with body workers or healers who have walked the walk and lived many different lives. I find it easier to connect with and trust the people who have really lived. I don’t think that’s necessarily right for everybody, but it’s important for me when I’m trusting someone to enter my sacred space and help me heal.

Self-care is a bit of a buzzword these days, and a lot of us are trying to prioritize implementing self-care into our daily lives – but it can (ironically) be a little stressful figuring out where and when to start, especially as moms and moms-to-be! So today, we’re going to think about what “self-care” means to each of us, in this moment and at this particular point on our journey of motherhood, and simple self-care strategies that anyone can implement. This isn’t just lip service to a trendy topic – self-care and self-nurturing is setting you up or setting you down for the life that you want to be living.

| 31 Jul 2019 | 020 | Yoga Nidra for Peace & Health within Motherhood + Family Expansion | with Jana Roemer | 01:05:02 | |
After 20 years of traveling and studying with respected teachers and nearly a decade in the role of teacher, Jana Roemer settled down in CA to share what she learned about yoga, astrology, and birth with the lovely people of Venice. She is a Midwife of Awakening, guiding people to find answers through their inner voice – ironically, by falling asleep (sorta). One of the practices that Jana teaches is called Yoga Nidra, which is the practice of Yogic Sleep. This ancient practice has you laying down in Savasana, eventually learning to not just fall asleep but enter an altered state of awareness where you learn more about yourself.

| 15 Jul 2020 | 066 | The Micro-Dosing Healing Protocol | with Transformational Doula Paije West | 01:04:59 | |
Paije West refers to herself as a Transformational Doula. She began as a full spectrum doula in Portland, OR with an interest in helping those who were suffering from mental health challenges, substance abuse disorder, and birthing people who needed care and advocacy. She has always been very called to shadow work and ritual and studied astrology as a young girl with the help of her mother. She started working with the tarot more intimately around 8 years ago. Paije offers intuitive tarot and astrology readings remotely and in-person. A few years into her doula career, she began utilizing sacred medicines of various kinds for healing, and as she dove deeper, opened the doula umbrella to hold space for others during these transformative experiences. Paije works with Iboga, Psilocybin, 5-MeO-DMT, and MDMA. She curates health and wellness retreats with an emphasis on a variety of offerings depending on the group. Similar to a doula in the traditional sense, she creates a sacred container to hold space for psychedelic experiences and also provides resources and referrals when necessary. Integration is a huge piece of the puzzle, and she also provides psychedelic integration and micro-dosing education for those in need. She is also a mother of two young children and a wife. Paije believes that by honoring, protecting, and understanding the sacred shadow that dwells within us all, together we will create a safe container to let go of any experiences, feelings, or perceived roles that do not allow room for groundbreaking and lasting change.

Sufi’s experiences as an assistant midwife and doula led her to recognize that a lot more was going on behind the scenes at births and during postpartum than met the eye. She noticed that Loss and Grief affect birth and Postpartum outcomes, then discovered that giving those aspects a voice would often change the terrain of the physical and the outcome. As an intuitive, Sufi is able to troubleshoot issues, share messages from little ones, as well as share the essence of who your baby is as a soul and how you may want to proceed and interact to best serve your baby.

Many moms and moms-to-be aren’t aware of Postpartum Psychosis, and it certainly wasn’t something our guest ever thought possible when she got pregnant. And although it isn’t very common – it affects about 1 in 1000 new moms – it’s something that women should be aware of and talking about. So, in today’s episode, Lisa Abramson shares her journey of giving birth, coming to terms with her psychosis, seeking professional help, and ultimately committing to mindfulness self-care practices that allowed her to heal herself and, later, give birth to a second healthy baby girl. It’s a powerful and moving story, but the most beautiful thing about it is that Lisa didn’t stop after healing herself – she is now showing up for thousands of other women, as an executive coach, mindfulness teacher, and the author of The Wise Mama Guide to Maternity Leave.

In today’s real talk episode, McLean reunited almost a year later from their last interview together with Shiva Rose in person on Shiva’s incredible land in Texas. A decade ago, after suffering from life-threatening autoimmune disorders, actress Shiva Rose set out to discover a more holistic way to natural health and beauty. Growing her own organic herbs and flowers, mixing creams, lotions, and tonics; and following Ayurvedic practices and creating mindful rituals. She has not only healed her life but also has become a leader and entrepreneur in the world of all-natural beauty and lifestyle. She created the wellness site The Local Rose and a beauty line, Shiva Rose Beauty. She is an advocate for Women, Children, and Natural Healing and has become an ongoing inspiration in McLean’s life.

| 06 Mar 2019 | Creating a Space to Gather, Support, & Empower Mothers | Real Talk with McLean McGown | 00:10:18 | |
Hello new mothers, mothers-to-be, and curious Souls! My name is McLean McGown, and I am so excited to introduce myself to all of you and invite you to join me on this journey. As a Postpartum Doula and prenatal motherhood guide, my intention is to create a space where we, as women, can gather to support and empower our own healing.
Whether you are a mother to your own children, to your business, to your animals, to your friend’s kids, or to your own inner child, you are welcome here and you are needed here. We all need to learn and hear and bear witness to each others’ stories, and your stories will be received without judgement and without shame. Because this is your tribe. And no matter where we are in this world, no matter where we are on this journey of motherhood and womanhood, it is so important to learn and share with one another.
If you have any burning questions to ask, topics you want to hear about, or stories to share, please share them! You can DM me on Instagram @motherthemother or you can email me at McLean@motherthemother.com with the subject “Podcast Ideas.”
This is really a space with you and for you, so I want you to be co-creating it with me and our guests.

You might remember Christen Delaney from episode 22, in which we discussed Christen’s incredible jewelry business and plans for her upcoming pregnancy.

| 18 Dec 2019 | 039 | Hired Help: The Many Aspects of This Hot Parenting Topic | Real Talk | 00:50:44 | |
Today I want to start a conversation about a topic that I seem to talk about almost every single day with my friends: hiring childcare help.
This is such a huge question, especially for working mothers, and people have really strong opinions on every side of this debate — and my intention with this episode is not to pick a side but to start a conversation.
Nothing I’m sharing today is a judgment on you, your nanny, or your mothers. This is just a really complicated topic that has a lot of nuanced variables, and I think we’re doing ourselves a disservice when we don’t bring these conversations to the table. There’s a lot of shame, guilt, and blame out there, even just in communities for mothers, but shame has no home here on Mother the Mother.

Elise Loehnen is the Chief Content Officer at goop, co-host of The goop Podcast, and just a huge inspiration to me over the years. I am so grateful for all of the incredible interviews she’s shared with us and how she is always standing in her femininity, empowered and powerful. I also think she’s a fantastic role model for all of the working mothers out there who are committed to doing everything without sacrificing their relationship with their children or their passions.
Elise is just one of many women who are bringing us together and connecting us in new ways via the internet, and I love that I can be even a small part of that movement and lineage as well.

This interview is a total dream moment manifested. Wah! recently came to my house in LA, met my family (we’re all huge fans), and sat down with me to share her journey of living her dharma, sharing her music, and mantras for healing. I emailed Wah! out of the blue last Fall on what I thought would be a total shot in the dark, but she met my question with a big, “Yes!” I am eternally grateful to Wah! for allowing her stunning recording of “Jai Ma” to be played at the beginning of the show to set the tone and intention for the Mother The Mother podcast. I knew in my bones that it had to have this mantra, and so it is. Wah! is a world-renowned musician who brings healing through sound and the teachings of yoga, creating high energy tracks of Sanskrit mantras using electronic keyboards, drums, and bass. If you have taken a yoga class in the last 20 years, you have undoubtedly heard her music. She has also lectured at Princeton University and Loyola Marymount University, performed with Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer, and taught at Omega Institute and 1440 Multiversity.

| 08 May 2019 | 008 | Women's Worth in Motherhood + Honoring Women Without Kids | Real Talk | 00:20:37 | |
What do you feel you are worth? Women’s worth is a massive topic, and it’s something I feel like I’m always discussing with my mom friends, my single friends, my colleagues, and my mentors – so, pretty much every woman in my life! It’s definitely a societal question that’s being asked right now, as women are standing up for themselves like they never have before. But this is also a very confusing time; it’s a confusing time in our political climate, it’s a confusing time in our job market, and it’s a confusing time in many of our families. We’re dancing around a whole new way of being, of looking at motherhood and womanhood; we all know that mothers, and women in general, are not supported as we need to be, but I also think we can see this changing in front of our eyes, and things will improve for our generation and the generations to come.

| 05 Jun 2019 | 012 | Big Feelings: Discussing Trust + Allowing for Miracles as I Leave Town (Without My Kids!) | Real Talk | 00:30:43 | |
Our society likes to talk about the hard things in life after they’ve already happened; we like to wait until we’ve already gone through the healing process and found some closure. But I don’t. I like to talk about things while I’m going through them, and I like to listen to people while they’re going through their own stuff. Especially in this space, I think it’s really important to know how people feel when they’re actually going through the thing – because almost all of us are going to go through a pregnancy or support a loved one going through a pregnancy at some point in our lives, and almost all of us are going to have some difficulties during the postpartum period! And, because we often feel alone when we’re going through difficult times, it can be so powerfully healing to hear these stories. So, today, I want to talk about my experience as I prepare to leave my children for an extended period of time, for the first time since my first child was born.

Like birth, it is a portal that all of humanity experiences and yet as a culture, we struggle with finding the right words to discuss this deep and mysterious part of our existence. As always, McLean has found the words to both comfort, explain the unexplainable and leave all who have had death touch their lives feel seen, heard, and supported. Whether you have carried the haunting questions that arise from someone you love committing suicide, experienced the drawn-out loss from chronic illness, or are in the impossible place of needing to explain death to your child, McLean has your back.
