In this solo episode, Paulina introduces the second village: the relationships that support a mother’s growth, identity, and ambitions. That support might already exist in your circle, but people need to know what you want before they can help.

We get into:

• Figuring out what you want for yourself when you’re used to handling what everyone else needs.
• Making specific asks, from an introduction to an hour to finish an application.
• Turning a good conversation into a relationship with actual follow-through.
• Supporting each other without becoming everyone’s unpaid assistant.

Plus, an honest conversation about finding support when time, money, and childcare are already stretched.

This week, Paulina sits down with mom of two and real estate professional Angel Zaper for an honest conversation about faith, motherhood, and starting over. Angel opens up about facing a brain tumor, navigating single motherhood, raising her autistic daughter, and the relationship with God that helps her move through uncertainty.

We get into:

• Knowing when to keep working at something, and when to let it go.
• Why showing up for a struggling mom means more than telling her she’s strong.
• Building a career that makes room for your family.
• Making space for your own needs when so many people depend on you.

For the mom carrying a lot while still wanting more for herself, this conversation makes room for all of it: the fear, the ambition, the faith, and the need for support.

Paulina sits down with Melissa of Vacation With Melissa to explore how to plan travel around your actual life: your budget, your babies, and your need for a damn break.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Choosing the right trip for your family: What to consider about your kids’ ages, activities, childcare, and the experience you want.
• Making your budget work: Exploring shorter getaways and split stays instead of giving up on the trip altogether.
• Taking the stress out of planning: Deciding on meals and activities ahead of time without scheduling every minute.
• Considering an all-inclusive: How it can simplify meals and give everyone in the family options.
• Going without the whole group: Exploring solo travel and organized group trips when everyone else’s schedules don’t line up.
• Building a business with legacy in mind: How Melissa grew her travel agency into a family business and why boundaries matter.

Plus, Paulina opens up about her mom’s illness and why “we’ll go next year” has taken on a different meaning. A personal reminder to make room for experiences with the people you love.

We talk about:

• What to do when becoming a mom changes the career you thought you wanted
• Why you don’t have to reach the top while your kids are little to have an incredible career
• How Leslee built a firm around flexibility after someone gave her that same chance
• Why asking a “dumb question” might be the smartest thing you do in a room
• What business owners need to know before giving away equity or signing a contract
• How to build a network by being useful to people, even when you think you have nothing to offer
• What to say when you walk into an event alone and feel completely out of place

If you’ve ever wondered whether slowing down means falling behind, or walked into a room and felt like everyone else knew what they were doing, this episode is for you. You’re allowed to ask the question, make the introduction and build a career that actually fits your life.

Paulina sits down with board-certified family medicine physician and new mom Dr. Monica Medrano to discuss:

• How to know when “mom exhaustion” may be something more
• Why women should trust themselves when something feels off
• The role hormones, vitamins and lab work can play in how you feel
• When resilience starts becoming self-neglect
• Why moms need to stop treating their health as optional
• How motherhood can change your ambition without diminishing it
• The importance of support at home and in the workplace
• What becoming a mother taught a doctor that medical school couldn’t

Because you know your body better than anyone and “something feels off” is reason enough to start asking questions.

Paulina sits down with licensed professional counselor, registered play therapist, school counselor, and mom of two Amanda McDonnell for an honest conversation about raising emotionally healthy kids, without expecting ourselves to be perfect parents.

Amanda shares why repairing after we lose our temper matters more than never messing up, how to set boundaries while still allowing kids to feel their emotions, and what parents can do now to create the kind of relationship their children will turn to later. They also talk about mom guilt, the pressure to say the “right” thing, the realities facing today’s teenagers, and why our kids don’t need perfection-they need to feel safe, supported, and deeply loved.

This episode is a reminder that good moms lose their patience, question themselves, and get overstimulated, too. What matters most is what we do next.

In this vulnerable solo episode, Paulina opens up about building one of the biggest things she’s ever created while navigating motherhood, her mom’s stage four cancer and an emotionally complicated season behind the scenes. She shares why readiness is overrated, how to move forward while life is still messy and the questions every ambitious mom should ask before building what’s next.

Because you don’t become her and then take the leap. You take the leap and that’s how you become her.

Plus, Paulina shares what inspired the theme of this year’s Mami Collective Summit, Mommin’ Ain’t Easy: The Next Chapter, happening October 1 in Chicago.

In this episode, Paulina sits down with Martina Matthews, founder of Miss ChatGPT 101, to break down how busy moms can use AI to lighten their mental load, grow their businesses and create more breathing room in their lives without being tech experts or losing their personal voice.

After nearly 20 years in corporate leadership, Martina left to build a business of her own.

In this episode, Paulina sits down with Kasia Starzyk-Tomlinson, a mom of three, full-time office manager, and the behind-the-scenes backbone of The Mami Collective. As the oldest daughter of immigrant parents, Kasha learned early how to translate, problem-solve, take responsibility, and keep everything moving. Now, those same instincts follow her through motherhood, marriage, and a career where she manages the needs of more than 30 employees.

They get real about growing up too fast, raising children differently than you were raised, working-mom guilt, learning to ask for help, and why rest can feel so uncomfortable when your worth has always been tied to what you can handle.

This conversation is for every woman who loves her family deeply but is exhausted from carrying everyone an

This episode was inspired by the most random interaction at IKEA. A woman recognized me from the radio, we had the sweetest conversation...and then someone else hit us with a comment that made me think, "Huh...what was that about?"

It sent me down a rabbit hole about the people who always seem to have something to say when you're excited. You know the type. You share good news, and suddenly they're your risk manager. You tell them your dream, and they're already explaining why it probably won't work.

We're getting into the psychology behind why some people "yuck your yum," how to tell the difference between a friend who's protecting you versus one who's projecting onto you, and why I've become incredibly intentional about who gets a front-row seat to my dreams.

Because here's the truth: life is hard enough. Mommin is hard enough. Your people should clap first.

If you've ever left a conversation feeling like someone quietly took the wind out of your sails, or you're trying to build a circle of women who genuinely celebrate each other, this one's for you.

In this solo episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of The Mami Plug Dinner Series and I'm sharing how one small, intentional event became market research, a content engine, a natural opportunity for brand partnerships, and proof of concept for something much bigger.

We’re talking about why bigger doesn’t always mean better, why trust is the real currency of community, and how creating a meaningful experience for the people already in the room can shape your entire business.

If you’re building a brand, business, event, or community, this episode will make you rethink what “growth” can actually look like.

In this episode, Dr. Roohi shares her deeply personal journey from being diagnosed with PCOS at 14 to becoming a fertility specialist, navigating infertility herself, and building the kind of patient-centered practice she once needed. We discuss why the fertility care system can feel so reactive, when women should seek testing, the truth about “unexplained infertility”, and how to protect your peace throughout the process.

Dr. Roohi also opens up about motherhood, building Onto Health, leaning on her village, and accepting that you won’t be the perfect mom, doctor, and CEO all on the same day.

Whether you’re trying to conceive, thinking about your future, or simply want to understand your body better, this conversation is a reminder that you shouldn’t have to struggle first to start taking control of your fertility.

Paulina sits down with style coach and mom of two Vany Hernandez to talk about why so many women lose touch with their personal style after motherhood-and how to find it again without changing everything overnight or spending a fortune.

Vany explains how your wardrobe should evolve as your body, lifestyle, career, and identity change. She shares the signs that your closet may no longer be serving the woman you are today, the staple pieces busy moms can build outfits around, and simple ways to shop more intentionally on a realistic budget. They also talk about getting caught in the comparison trap, investing in the right basics, and why feeling good in your clothes can change how confidently you show up.

Because rediscovering your style isn’t about becoming who you were before kids. It’s about dressing for (and celebrating) the woman you are now.

Abbey is a mom of twin boys, a photographer, a business owner, and a literal village-builder. After experiencing firsthand how hard it is to work, parent, create, and not completely spiral while doing it all, Abbey went from being a Le Village member to opening her own location for other families who needed the same kind of support.

Paulina and Abbey talk about what working moms actually need, why flexible childcare matters, how community changes the motherhood experience, and why needing help does not make you less of a mom. They also get into boundaries, business ownership, mom guilt, raising confident kids, same-sex parenting, and building a life where your child is cared for and you get to be a whole person too. Imagine that. Revolutionary.

This conversation is for the mom trying to answer emails while someone is asking for a snack, the mom who loves her kid deeply but also needs to use her brain, and the mom who is realizing she was never meant to do all of this alone.

Because motherhood is not a solo sport. And honestly? It never should have been.

But what if the thing standing in your way is actually... you?

In this episode, Paulina is serving a little tough love as she unpacks the hidden ways women keep themselves stuck. From overthinking and perfectionism to waiting for permission and wearing exhaustion like a badge of honor, she's calling out the excuses that sound responsible-but are really just fear in disguise.

You'll learn:

• Why confidence doesn't come before action

• How fear disguises itself as being "practical"

• The difference between preparation and procrastination

• Why asking for help is a strength, not a weakness

• The real cost of trying to do everything yourself

• How to stop waiting for the perfect time and start moving forward

If you've been putting off the business, the podcast, the content, the conversation, or the dream because you don't feel ready yet, this episode is your reminder that nobody feels ready.

The women you admire aren't less scared than you. They just decided to move anyway. Because your next level isn't waiting for more confidence. It's waiting for more courage.

We talked about:

• Building a business from her apartment with her boyfriend (now husband)
• Growing a national brand without outside funding for nearly a decade

• Navigating mom guilt, support systems, and asking for help

Paulina B. came to the United States from Poland at 16 with zero English and zero roadmap — and turned that into a full-on empire. We're talking a tax preparation company, a real estate license, a mortgage loan officer license, and a cleaning business she literally purchased twice. Oh, and she does it all as a mama to her three-year-old daughter.

In this episode, we get into:

• Why saying YES to everything almost broke her — and the 7 years it took to learn that lesson
• How she built unshakeable client trust by not being motivated by money
• The one-stop-shop business model and why expanding your services is a power move
• Outsourcing, systems, and building a team so you don't lose your mind (or your marriage)
• Raising an only child who doesn't throw tantrums in the toy aisle — and yes, she's taking students
• Her dad's advice that changed everything: "What if it does work out?"

This episode is for every woman who's been told to play it safe, every immigrant woman who figured it out anyway, and every entrepreneur wondering if they can really do it all. Spoiler: you can't do it alone — but you can do it.

No balance. No BS. Just real talk.

In this episode, Paulina breaks down how to actually pivot when things don’t go according to plan, without spiraling, forcing it, or starting over from scratch.

This is your no-BS guide to:

• letting go of what didn’t work
• separating your vision from the path you thought it had to take
• making your next move (even when you don’t feel ready)
• and building something that actually aligns with where you are now

Plus, why getting in the right rooms — like The Mami Collective Dinner Series — might be the thing that changes everything.

Because here’s the truth:
The plan falling apart? That might be the pivot you needed.

This week on The Mami Collective Podcast, Paulina sits down with Karen Vega, the mom behind Chicago Moms—a go-to platform for family-friendly things to do in Chicago and the suburbs. What started as simply sharing outings with her kids turned into a trusted resource thousands of moms now rely on.

In this episode, Karen opens up about:

• How she accidentally became a content creator (and why you don’t need a perfect plan to start)
• The reality of balancing motherhood, a full-time job, and building a platform
• What it actually takes to grow on TikTok and Instagram (hint: it’s not overnight)
• Learning to say no, set boundaries, and protect your time as a mom
• The pressure (and noise) of the creator world—and how to stay in your own lane
• Why documenting her kids’ lives became her biggest motivation

This is a conversation about motherhood, identity, creativity, and building something of your own, without losing yourself in the process. Whether you’re a mom looking for things to do in Chicago, thinking about starting your own platform, or just trying to feel a little less alone in the chaos, then this one’s for you.

Because sometimes, you don’t need a new idea.
You just need to start sharing the life you’re already living.

I’m joined by author, creator, and mental health advocate Jyothi Chand (aka Mama Jotes), and we dive into what it actually looks like to navigate motherhood without losing yourself in the process. From growing up in an immigrant household where mental health wasn’t even a conversation, to building a life, career, and identity on her own terms—this episode is layered.

We talk about:

• Breaking generational silence around mental health
• The identity crisis no one prepares you for after becoming a mom
• Building your own “village” (because it won’t just show up)
• Sobriety, clarity, and choosing yourself
• Ambition, burnout, and why we still keep going
• Setting boundaries—with your kids, your audience, and yourself

If you’ve ever felt like you’re losing yourself in motherhood—or trying to find your way back—this one’s for you.

From working as a full-time pharmacist to becoming a content creator, Francesca opens up about the scary leap of leaving corporate, navigating postpartum anxiety, and redefining her identity as a mom.

We dive into:

• What working mom burnout actually feels like
• Postpartum anxiety and when to ask for help
• The pressure moms face (and why you can never “win”)
• Building a wellness routine that actually sticks
• Balancing motherhood, career, and mental health
• The truth about becoming a full-time content creator

This conversation is raw, honest, and a reminder that taking care of yourself isn’t selfish-it’s necessary.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, lost your identity in motherhood, or questioned your next step...then this one is for you!

From the mental load of weeknight dinners to the pressure of feeding your family well while juggling work, kids, marriage, and everything else, this conversation gets real about why mealtime can feel like the final straw for busy moms. Diana shares how her own overwhelm led her to build Chef Post, a platform that helps families book in-home chefs and meal prep support, and why delegating food may be one of the smartest ways to buy back time, peace, and presence.

Paulina and Diana also get into mom guilt, the true ROI of outsourcing help, what it means to be “mom first” while building a business, and why delegation is not laziness, it’s survival. If dinner has been the breaking point in your house lately, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we cover:

• How to reduce the mental load of mealtime
• Why dinner becomes the tipping point for overwhelmed moms
• How delegating meals can save time, stress, and money
• The difference between meal delivery and in-home chef support
• What “mom first” really looks like while running a business

If you’ve ever felt like motherhood derailed your professional path or made you question your place in the workforce, this conversation is for you. Lauren shares how the skills you build as a mom — managing chaos, prioritizing, negotiating, problem-solving — are not a setback, but actually some of the most valuable professional skills you can have.

Together, Paulina and Lauren talk about career pivots, reentering the workforce, finding flexible work that actually fits your life, and why so many women underestimate their own experience.

This episode is a reminder that you’re not starting over — you’re starting from experience. If you’ve been wondering what’s next for your career after kids, this conversation will help you see your path a little more clearly.

In this episode, Paulina sits down with Kellie Koziel, who shares the story of delivering premature twins at 27 weeks in an emergency C-section, the chaos of the NICU, and how her family was suddenly split across hospitals. 

Kellie speaks with a lot of care about the loss of her daughter Sienna on day six, and what it’s like to grieve while continuing to fight for her surviving twin, McKenna, who has faced serious medical needs and ongoing specialist care. 

This conversation is also practice- because Kellie has lived it. You’ll learn:

• How to advocate when your child is medically complex (and why it’s okay to ask more questions, request changes, or switch providers). 
• How to build the care “ecosystem”: specialists, equipment, resources, and what finally helped them feel supported. 
• How palliative care can be a support, not a scary word, and how additional services can improve quality of life for the whole family. 

This one is tender, honest, and grounding, especially if you’re parenting in uncertainty and need someone to say: you’re not crazy, you’re not alone, and you’re allowed to trust yourself.

In this episode, Paulina sits down with Armi Grace Petersen—occupational therapist, mom of three, and maternal mental health advocate—to name what “not okay” can actually look like in real life (especially for high-functioning moms who keep powering through).

You’ll learn:

• the subtle signs you’re running on empty (even if you’re still getting everything done)
• what postpartum anxiety and depression can look like beyond the stereotypes
• how to stop minimizing your needs (“I’m fine”) and start getting honest support
• what to do next—practical, realistic steps that don’t require a breakdown first

This is your permission slip to stop carrying it alone. You’re allowed to need help AND you deserve a plan.

Paulina sits down with corporate attorney + mom Noeli Serna to walk through how to protect your business early (without spiraling)—from choosing a name the right way, to trademark basics, to the contract clauses that come back to bite you when you move fast.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

• Use AI wisely (and why “ChatGPT contracts” can get you in trouble) 
• Know when it’s time to stop treating your business like a hobby and actually get legal 
• Do a quick trademark “knockout search” before you spend money on branding 
• Keep business + personal finances separate (and why it matters) 
• Protect yourself with the right partnership agreement + clean business records 
• Spot the contract fine print that can block subcontractors, trap you in bad terms, or mess with payment 

Noeli also shares what she had to unlearn as a daughter of immigrants, how delegation changed her life as a working mom, and resources for women entrepreneurs. You don't want to miss this!

They get into the difference between “networking” and building relationships, why the follow-up is where the transaction happens, how to walk into any room with confidence, and what to focus on when you’re trying to get people in seats for your own event. Plus: the mindset shifts, the team lessons, and Yvonne’s nonprofit Jefita Atrevida—giving back to first-gen students and graduating seniors who need support.

Marisa gets real about what people romanticize about events (the pretty photos) vs. what’s actually happening behind the scenes (emotional labor, all-nighters, decision fatigue). She breaks down the systems and boundaries that keep her booked, paid, and sane — including her PTBR framework (priorities, time blocking, boundaries, and rest), why undercharging will literally train people to value you less, and how to raise your rates without spiraling into people-pleasing. 

If you’ve been doing “the most” for “not enough,” consider this your sign: we’re building smarter this year.

Ashley shares the mindset shift that helped her stop letting one goal consume her life, plus how she’s restructuring her business to protect time, peace, and presence. You’ll walk away with a grounded way to “fill your cup,” choose the right projects, and build a life where you can be a mom and still be you.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting more, worried you’d lose yourself in motherhood, or found yourself shrinking to fit what people expect, this one is for you. Paulina breaks down what this community was built for, what you’ve created together, and where The Mami Collective is headed next: more intentional rooms, deeper connection, and programming that actually supports moms building real lives.

Because you’re allowed to want both, and you don’t have to do it alone.

In this episode, Paulina and dating coach Bela Gandhi unpack what dating actually looks like after kid-from single moms navigating the apps to married couples trying to stay emotionally connected in the chaos of real life.

They talk about pacing relationships, why dating funnels matter, how to protect your time as a parent, and the red flags moms should stop ignoring. Plus: why long-term love isn’t about fireworks—it’s about showing up.

Inside this episode:

• Why dating apps aren’t the enemy (and how to use them wisely)
• How single moms should pace new relationships
• When kids should meet a new partner (and why waiting matters)
• The truth about guilt, grief, and starting over
• How emotional safety fuels intimacy in marriage

Honest, practical, and deeply validating-this episode is for moms who want partnership without settling.

In this episode, Paulina sits down with media mogul, real estate investor, and New York Times bestselling author Nely Galán to talk about what it really takes to become self-made as a daughter of immigrants, a single mom, and a woman who refuses to shrink. Nely shares how she went from selling Avon out of her locker to becoming employee #1 at the tiny station that became Telemundo, building a global TV empire, and then walking away to get her doctorate in psychology and study the psychology of money in our communities. 

They dive into motherhood in the middle of all of it-being the “therapist and translator” for immigrant parents, raising a son who thought money was “fairy dust” until she boot-camped him through running her buildings, and why she now tells moms: it’s okay if your main job right now is just being Mom.

You’ll hear:

• How Nely used her immigrant story and “pain as her brand” to build a media and real estate empire
• Why she walked away from Hollywood at her peak to go back to school and write Self Made
• The money mindset shifts women and moms must make to build multi-generational wealth

In this episode, Paulina sits down with Kera Sanchez, educator, military spouse, mom of two, and founder of Get Griefy Magazine, to talk about navigating grief while you’re in the thick of motherhood. Kera shares the story of losing her mom unexpectedly while her newborn was in the NICU during COVID, and what it looked like to plan a funeral from a hospital room while solo parenting and trying to hold it together for her family.

Together, Paulina and Kera get into:

• How grief actually shows up (beyond the neat “5 stages” we’re taught)
• The overlap between grief and depression, and when it’s time to get help
• “Living losses” like infertility, NICU stays, estrangement, and big life pivots
• Talking to kids about death without weird euphemisms
• Grief spikes around holidays, birthdays, and big milestones
• Keeping a parent’s legacy alive through traditions, stories, and tiny everyday rituals

This is a conversation for any mami who’s ever tried to parent, perform, or just get out of bed while her heart is breaking. It’s tender, honest, a little woo-woo, and full of the kind of dark humor that keeps you afloat when life makes zero sense.

Here’s the thing: legacy planning sounds heavy… wills, insurance, “what if” talks. But Lori makes it feel human and doable. We get into why life insurance is really just the foundation of your house, how a simple love letter can mean more than any policy, and why her Love Policy Box turns the scariest convo into an act of love.

This is for every overwhelmed mom with a million tabs open in her brain-because protecting your people doesn’t have to be another stressor. It can actually feel grounding, healing, and even kind of beautiful.

🧠 Why grace > guilt every time
💼 What motherhood taught her about leadership, identity, and ambition
💗 The freedom that comes with letting go of control

• Protect one recurring window of time that belongs to you
• Find real-time honesty, not just highlight-reel success stories
• Plug into purpose-driven community through service and mutual support

Paulina sits down with Jennifer Molina—Guaranteed Rate lender, mom of two, and an Ecuador-to-Chicago powerhouse—to talk about what it actually looks like to build stability (and real wealth) while raising kids, paying for childcare, and trying to keep your life from turning into one long to-do list.

You’ll hear Jennifer’s story (immigrating at 8, corporate finance, then finding her lane in lending), plus the most useful homebuying guidance for busy moms:

• Why you should talk to a lender before you start Zillow-ing at midnight
• What “being ready” really means (spoiler: it’s not perfection)
• How credit strategy and down-payment support can change the timeline
• Why Jennifer’s wealth-building hill to die on is multi-unit properties
• What the winter market can mean for leverage and negotiating power

Bottom line: you don’t need to know everything—you need a plan and a team you trust.

They unpack the before, during, and after: getting clear on your finances, protecting your peace, and making decisions from a grounded place, not a chaotic one.

Aliette shares the truth about control, co-parenting, and what it actually means to build a new life without losing yourself in the process.

In This Episode:

• Know what your life really costs
• Access to cash ≠ financial control
• “Shared responsibility” doesn’t mean shared peace
• Don’t make moves from survival mode
• Kids need two happy parents, not one burned-out one
• Start with education, not court

Because starting over isn’t failure-it’s power.
