Hosted by Carly Church — entrepreneur, author, and founder of the We Got You, Mama movement — this show brings you raw, relatable conversations with leading maternal health experts, psychologists, doulas, nutritionists, sleep consultants, and real moms who tell it like it is.

Each week, we unpack the truth about postpartum recovery, maternal mental health, marriage after baby, pelvic floor healing, hormones, identity shifts, and self-care that actually works — no sugar-coating, no mom-guilt, just honest, evidence-based insight you can use right now.

Our mission? To empower you with the tools, knowledge, and community you need to navigate motherhood with confidence and joy. Whether you’re deep in the newborn trenches, chasing toddlers, balancing business and family, or re-discovering yourself after kids, We Got You, Mama meets you where you are.

You’ll hear from world-class experts like Dr. Jodi Pawluski (neuroscientist & perinatal mental health specialist), Hillary Sadler (RN, IBCLC & founder of Baby Settler), Akiko Thayer (Maternity Leave 411), Jessica Maurer (mental wellness strategist), Alissa Alter (pelvic floor coach & author), and many more — alongside inspiring moms who share the messy, magical reality of raising babies and businesses.

✨ What You’ll Learn:

How the maternal brain rewires during motherhood (and how to harness it!)

Tools for managing postpartum depression, anxiety, rage, and burnout

How to strengthen your relationship after baby and communicate like a team

The truth about hormones, sleep, nutrition, and perinatal wellness

How to build a support system — and stop trying to “do it all” alone

Expert-backed strategies for a healthier, happier, cleaner home life

Conversations about working motherhood, identity, and rediscovering joy

With episodes that are equal parts science, story, and soul, We Got You, Mama is your safe, uplifting corner of the internet — where laughter meets learning, and moms remember that they matter too.

💛 About the We Got You, Mama Movement:
More than a podcast, We Got You, Mama is a global platform connecting mothers to evidence-based resources, compassionate experts, and a community that celebrates every stage of motherhood. From prenatal prep and postpartum recovery to redefining success as a mom and CEO, Carly Church and her guests dive deep into what it means to thrive — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Our growing ecosystem includes the upcoming book We Got You, Mama: The No-Nonsense, Expert-Packed Guide to Going from Surviving to Thriving, digital summits, retreats, and educational resources — all designed to remind women that motherhood doesn’t have to mean losing yourself.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Kathi Burns, board-certified professional organizer, speaker, and operational architect for high-performing CEOs, to break down the real reason you feel overwhelmed—and how to fix it. 👉 Spoiler: it’s not you. It’s your systems. Kathi introduces the concept of the “Friction Tax”—the hidden time, energy, and mental bandwidth you’re losing every single day due to disorganization, lack of systems, and trying to do it all yourself. And the best part? You can get that time back. ✨ We’re talking 6+ hours a week reclaimed (yes, please). 💡 In This Episode, We Cover: ✔️ What the “Friction Tax” is—and how it’s silently draining your time ✔️ Why being “busy” is NOT the same as being productive ✔️ The biggest mistake mom entrepreneurs make when trying to scale ✔️ How to move from person-dependent to system-dependent (game changer) ✔️ Simple systems you can implement immediately (even if you feel like a hot mess) ✔️ The delegation gap—and how to confidently hand things off ✔️ How clutter (yes, even paper piles) is impacting your focus and anxiety ✔️ Why organization isn’t about perfection—it’s about freedom 🧠 Real Talk for Moms in Business: If you’ve ever thought: “I just need more time…” “I can’t keep up…” “I know I should be more organized but I don’t even know where to start…” This episode will shift everything. Because the goal isn’t to do more—it’s to create systems that support you so you can actually breathe again. 🎁 FREE TRAINING FROM KATHI (Don’t Miss This!)

In this episode of The We Got You Mama Show, Carly sits down with Monica Walls — former Silicon Valley HR executive and founder of Keca’s Usna, a lip color brand inspired by her Croatian heritage, global travels, and love of meaningful human connection. Monica shares the story behind her transition from corporate leadership to building a beauty brand rooted in authenticity, community, and purpose. What started as a real-life problem to solve — finding a lip product that was long-lasting, hydrating, and comfortable without being sticky or drying — became a product line with heart, history, and intention behind every shade. But this conversation goes beyond lipstick. Carly and Monica talk about entrepreneurship, building supportive communities, taking risks, asking for help, and the many ways women “mother” the people around them — whether or not they have biological children of their own. Monica also shares a deeply personal story about showing up for her family during her nephew’s NICU journey and the power of simply being there in moments of crisis. In this episode, we discuss: ✨ Monica’s transition from corporate HR to entrepreneurship ✨ The story and meaning behind Keca’s Usna ✨ Building a beauty brand inspired by heritage and travel ✨ What makes a lip product clean, hydrating, and long-lasting ✨ Why community matters so much in business and life ✨ Supporting mothers and families, even if you’re not a mom yourself ✨ How small things — even lipstick — can help women feel more like themselves This episode is for women who are craving more purpose, more connection, and more permission to build something that truly reflects who they are. About Monica Walls With a deep-rooted passion for people, culture, and values, Monica Walls has built a career centered on meaningful human connection and purpose-driven work. After beginning her professional journey as an HR executive in Silicon Valley, she eventually stepped into entrepreneurship and founded Keca’s Usna — a lip color collection inspired by her Croatian ancestry, her travels, and the diverse stories of the people she’s met along the way. Unsatisfied with lip products that were either too sticky or too drying, Monica set out to create a formula that is long-lasting, hydrating, comfortable to wear, and thoughtfully made.

But what if understanding your finances could actually feel empowering? In this episode of The We Got You Mama Show, Carly sits down with Rita Bacuzzi (Mama Rita Money) — Founder &amp; CEO of Flourish Inc. and Executive Vice President of Five Rings Financial — to talk about the powerful connection between money mindset, financial education, and family security. Rita is on a mission to educate 5 million women and their families about money over the next five years, helping them move from financial confusion to financial confidence.

Through that journey, she discovered how powerful financial education and protection strategies can be. Together we talk about: • Why mindset is the foundation of financial success • The biggest financial mistakes families make • How to build a “financial village” instead of a fragile system • What living benefits are and why they matter • Why women should feel empowered — not intimidated — by money • How to start creating generational wealth for your family If you've ever thought “I’m just not good with money”, this episode will help you reframe that belief and show you where to start.

Briana demystified things by sharing simple, practical ways to get started—like asking AI to help with meal planning, automating emails, or organizing a family schedule. I loved her example of using ChatGPT to whip up dinner with random ingredients or even plan out a postpartum workout plan.

I opened up about raising my own daughters in a digital age, the anxiety around it, and how I’m navigating boundaries and healthy habits, especially after reading "The Anxious Generation." What I love about Briana is that she doesn’t gloss over the challenges; she’s totally real about balancing the benefits of tech while protecting kids’ creativity and emotional health. Her approach is all about teaching that technology is a tool, not an identity—a lesson I’m trying to instill at home, too.</p><p>Briana broke down how AI workflows can help you reclaim hours (yes, HOURS!) every week, letting you focus on what matters most. </p><p>To gain access to her 15 Minute CEO resource, visit <u><a href="https://ewn.ewomen.network/the-15-minute-ceo#submit-form" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ewn.news/aiflow</a></u>! </p><p>Honestly, this episode is all about giving moms encouragement, practical action steps, and permission to ask for help—even if that help comes from a robot assistant.

In this episode of We Got You Mama, we explore that question and more as I, Carly Church, welcome the remarkable Briana Dai, VP of Digital Innovation at eWomenNetwork, to share her transformative story.

Briana offers practical advice for seeking help, delegating, and making peace with the everyday messiness that comes with both motherhood and leadership.</p><p>An especially eye-opening part of our conversation deals with the unrelenting cultural and social media pressures on women's bodies after childbirth. Briana shares her strategies for managing what she consumes online, using tools like muting and unfollowing, and how crucial a supportive community of women can be. Her perspective is a breath of fresh air for anyone feeling overwhelmed by unrealistic standards and unsolicited advice.</p><p>If you’re looking for an honest, vulnerable, and truly empowering conversation about surviving life’s hardest moments, redefining success, and embracing the chaos of motherhood, this episode is for you.

Not just the 12 weeks you may have thought. On this episode of “We Got You Mama,” I dove into the world of parental leave with special guest Brittney O'Brien, a California parental leave strategist who’s made it her mission to help expecting parents unlock the benefits they’re entitled to. As the host, I introduced Brittney O'Brien as someone you want in your corner: she’s supported over 900 parents since launching her business and comes with two decades of tech startup experience, perfectly positioning her to decode California’s complex leave policies like SDI, PFL, and PDL.</p><p>Throughout the episode, we broke down some jaw-dropping facts about U.S. parental leave—or lack thereof—and zeroed in on how California stands out as an exception. Brittney explained what most people get wrong about maternity leave, how the state’s wage replacement program really works, and how you can maximize the time you spend with your newborn. She revealed both the common mistakes parents make when planning their leave and how you can avoid getting shortchanged on those crucial benefits. We also talked about the emotional and financial challenges she sees, the importance of understanding your paystubs, and the power of getting everything in writing with your employer.</p><p>Beyond the logistics, Brittney shared her personal path into this advocacy—from her own messy leave experience to her commitment to supporting other families and pushing for much-needed policy change. We also touched on employee rights, advocacy tips, and even the significant impact that extended, supported leave can have on families. If you or someone you know is pregnant, planning to be, or just wants to understand how to get empowered around parental leave, this episode offers actionable steps and real encouragement.</p><p><strong>About the Guest: </strong></p><p>Brittney O'Brien is a California parental leave strategist who helps expecting parents unlock 6–7 months of paid, job-protected leave without the confusion or overwhelm. After navigating her own messy leave experience, she made it her mission to ensure other families do not have to struggle through the same uncertainty.</p><p>With 20 years of experience in tech startups and a deep understanding of California’s SDI, PFL, PDL, and CFRA programs, Brittney turns complex policies into clear, step-by-step plans that actually make sense. Since launching her business last year, she has supported more than 900 expecting parents. She lives in Sacramento, California with her husband and her 3-year-old son, Jackson.</p><p>Seeing firsthand how unsupported working parents are in the United States, Brittney views this work as more than a business. It is a grassroots mission. The United States is the only developed country without federally mandated paid leave, and she is committed to helping families navigate a broken system while advocating for long-term change.</p><p>Through her signature 1:1 service, The Leave Blueprint, Brittney provides personalized timelines, HR scripts, EDD form reviews, and ongoing support, giving parents everything they need to feel confident, prepared, and financially protected as they welcome their babies.</p><p>From Brittney:</p><p>Don’t leave months of paid time with your baby on the table.</p><p>Book your Leave Blueprint session today and get the exact strategy, forms, and timelines you need to maximize SDI + PFL — stress-free!

After repeated skin sensitivities, she discovered the culprit: chemical-based sunscreens. That wake-up call sent her down the research rabbit hole—learning that many “popular,” heavily marketed baby and personal-care brands weren’t nearly as clean or safe as they claimed.

After repeated skin sensitivities, she discovered the culprit: chemical-based sunscreens. That wake-up call sent her down the research rabbit hole—learning that many “popular,” heavily marketed baby and personal-care brands weren’t nearly as clean or safe as they claimed. Later, after losing her dad (who had Crohn’s disease and then rectal cancer), Emily made it her mission to help others lower toxic exposures at home and advocate for safer products—not from fear, but from informed, empowered choices.</p><p><br></p><p>In this conversation we cover</p><p><br></p><p>Clean Living 101: what “clean” really means, what’s marketing (greenwashing) versus genuinely safer products.</p><p><br></p><p>Sunscreen truth: why mineral formulas often outperform chemical filters for many families—and how to read the label.</p><p><br></p><p>The “fragrance” loophole: why the word “fragrance” or “parfum” on an ingredient list can hide thousands of chemicals—and what to look for instead.</p><p><br></p><p>Smart, high-impact swaps: start with what you ingest (lip products) and what sits on your skin the longest (lotion, foundation, eye products, mascara, shampoo).</p><p><br></p><p>Home upgrades that matter:</p><p><br></p><p>Cookware: avoid PFAS or Teflon; choose stainless steel, cast iron, or ceramic.</p><p><br></p><p>Cutting boards: switch plastic to wood, tempered glass, or metal (microplastics are real).</p><p><br></p><p>Storage: replace plastic with glass; trade baggies for silicone (such as Stasher bags).</p><p><br></p><p>Candles and scent: choose soy, beeswax, or coconut wax with clearly listed essential oils—or use a diffuser.</p><p><br></p><p>Laundry: skip dryer sheets and use wool balls (with optional essential oils); pick fragrance-free detergent.</p><p><br></p><p>Multi-surface cleaning: simple vinegar plus water works for many jobs; Emily also loves concentrated cleaners that last ages.</p><p><br></p><p>Apps and label reading: why EWG can help (and its limits), what rating systems miss (actual concentration), and how to email brands with questions.</p><p><br></p><p>Microplastics and indoor air: why focusing on the home is empowering—control what you can and don’t stress about perfection.</p><p><br></p><p>Teens and fragrance: finding clean colognes and perfumes (yes, they exist!) and talking about endocrine health.</p><p><br></p><p>Real results: fewer headaches, calmer allergies, and the confidence that comes with aligning daily choices to your values.</p><p><br></p><p>Emily also shares her experience partnering with Shaklee for supplements, skincare, and home cleaning—including why concentrates (like the beloved “Basic H”) are budget-friendly, low-waste, and versatile, and why a gentle scour cream can be a game-changer on grout, ovens, pans, and even walls.</p><p><br></p><p>You don’t have to overhaul everything overnight—start small.
