Surprise! This is Motherhood, lol ft. Cameron Oaks Rogers
Tell Me I'm a Good Mom with Lo Bosworth NataleShow Notes
This week, I'm joined by Cameron Oakes Rogers (aka Freckled Foodie) for a conversation that felt less like a podcast and more like the group chat every new mom wishes she had.
We talk about the parts of motherhood nobody really prepares you for: postpartum depression, intrusive thoughts, identity shifts, medical trauma, the shock of pregnancy, and the reality of bringing a baby home when everyone seems focused on the baby—but not on you.
Cam shares her experience with postpartum depression after her first child, why her second postpartum experience was completely different, and what changed. I open up about my own postpartum depression, the complications surrounding my delivery, and the lingering questions that come with medical trauma after birth.
We also get into the massive gaps in postpartum care, why women are still left piecing together so much information on their own, and the pressure to have the "right" motherhood experience when the truth is that every journey looks different.
And because no mom conversation is complete without it, we answer your questions about mom friendships, mom cliques, and the baby products we actually think are worth buying (and the ones we absolutely don't).
If you've ever found yourself wondering, "Is this normal?"—this episode is for you.
Topics include:
Postpartum depression and anxiety
Intrusive thoughts and maternal mental health
Pregnancy expectations vs. reality
Medical trauma after birth
Why postpartum care is still failing women
The identity shift of becoming a mother
Mom friendships and social pressure
Baby products worth the money (and what to skip)
Because women deserve the truth about motherhood—and nobody should have to figure it out alone.

More from Tell Me I'm a Good Mom with Lo Bosworth Natale
This week, I’m joined by my friend, chef and fellow mom Sophia Roe, because feeding your baby somehow comes with more homework than feeding yourself ever did.
This week, I’m joined by Tiffani Thiessen for a conversation about mom intuition, raising teenagers, and a question I’ve been wanting to ask: are all moms actually witches?
This week, it’s just me—and we have a lot to catch up on. I just turned 40, Love Wellness is turning 10, and I’ve been a mom for almost a year. So I wanted to make a little time capsule of how I got here, what I’m proud of, and what I’m still figuring out.
Does having four kids make you feel like you finally know what you’re doing? According to Sarah Wright Olsen: absolutely not. Sarah is an actress, author, co-host of The Mother Daze podcast, and mom of four. I’m still in my first year of motherhood, so I had questions. We talk about the postpartum anxiety she didn’t recognize with her first baby, why the child who made her feel like an amazing parent turned out to be naturally chill, and what changes when baby number two arrives. I also tell her about sobbing on my first trip away from Nelle—which leads us to her new children’s book, When I Am Not With You, and a little reminder I think parents need just as much as kids do.
Who teaches us what to do when we know something is wrong with our baby, but we don’t know what? When Nelle was struggling, figuring out that she had cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA)—and then finding the formula that finally gave her relief—felt like jumping through hoop after hoop while questioning myself the entire time. In this episode, I sit down with pediatrician Dr. Michael Milobsky to talk about CMPA, how it can look like colic, the formula options available, and how parents can advocate for answers when their baby is uncomfortable. We also talk about our own experience with Nelle, why Neocate ultimately worked for her, and what I wish I’d known when we were in the thick of it.
