I Was on Laguna Beach at 17. Being Pregnant Online Hits Different.
Tell Me I'm a Good Mom with Lo Bosworth NataleShow Notes
I've been sharing my life publicly since I was 17 — first on Laguna Beach, then The Hills, then a decade of building Love Wellness by being honest about my body and my health. So when I got pregnant, keeping it private was never really the question. And I get into my TV origin story on today's episode.. But being pregnant online is different. This episode is part manifesto, part cultural riff on why the instinct to share a moment this big has always existed — long before the internet gave it a new address. I get into my own fertility journey, the IVF and endometriosis surgery that I think actually got me here, and the women online whose stories gave me language for things I didn't know how to name yet. And the question every modern parent is quietly wrestling with: what's actually okay to share about your kid? No agenda. No lectures. Just honest conversation. —————————————————— Tell Me I'm a Good Mom — new episodes every Wednesday hosted by Lo Bosworth Natale — first time mom and CEO of Love Wellness — Subscribe: / @lobosworth Newsletter: https://substack.com/@lobosworth Love Wellness: https://lovewellness.com Instagram: d / lobosworth TikTok: c / lobosworth — Tell Me I'm a Good Mom is part of the Dear Media podcast network.ed by Dear Media.

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.
