Doing It Alone: Huda Mustafa on Single Motherhood, Fame, and Why You Get to Come First Too
Tell Me I'm a Good Mom with Lo Bosworth NataleShow Notes
Huda Mustafa is one of the most fun hangs I've had on the show. This week we get into all of it: becoming a mom young at 19 and single motherhood, the wild ride to fame, and what it's actually like to figure yourself out with the entire internet watching. It's honest and real — but mostly, it's just a blast. Then I open up The Group Chat to answer your questions about doing it alone in every sense. The literal kind, like how a new mom is even supposed to start dating again. And the sneaky kind — the mom who has a partner and somehow still feels like she's running the whole show solo. The thread tying it all together: making time for yourself isn't selfish. It's the whole point of how you make motherhood really work. — Sponsors: Rythm: Right now, Rythm is offering our listeners 15% off your first month and free shipping at https://rythm.health/goodmom Bon Charge: Go to https://boncharge.com and use code GOODMOM to save 15% 📺 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@lobosworth 📖 Newsletter: https://substack.com/@lobosworth 🛍️ Love Wellness: https://lovewellness.com 📱 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lobosworth 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lobosworth — Tell Me I'm a Good Mom is part of the Dear Media podcast network.

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.
