Show Notes
In this rerun episode: I have one baby. Kailyn Lowry has seven. So obviously the first thing I asked her was how the f*ck her body has done that.
I've been a Kailyn girly since the original Teen Mom days, so sitting across from her felt like a full circle moment from my own MTV era. Bonus: within thirty seconds we'd figured out she was a Laguna girly too. Match made in heaven.
Kailyn has been a person in public since she was 17. Most of the women she came up with on MTV aren't here anymore. Kailyn is. She has millions of followers online, has built three podcasts, a podcast network, a book club, a publishing imprint, and a physical sports business in Delaware while raising seven kids with five different men. She also lives next door to one of her exes. They share a driveway. He can see into her kitchen window. Yes I asked her what that's like.
We get into the baby daddy speed round (one word per ex, you're welcome), how she found out about the cheating on TikTok and turned the whole thing into a three-part Patreon special because everybody else was profiting off her pain so why wouldn't she, the c-section shelf, the beads she bought at Hobby Lobby because of her ADHD, and why she has to apply a full year in advance to move out of Delaware.
Kailyn is one of the sharpest business minds I've sat across from. She also might be a little unhinged in the best possible way. Buckle up for a fantastic convo.

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.
