In this episode, I sit down with Amrit Tietz and Lauren Levinger, co-founders of Spread the Jelly, a bold platform reshaping how we talk about motherhood.
Launched by Amrit—a DJ and creative entrepreneur—and Lauren—a veteran creative director and storyteller—Spread the Jelly was born out of frustration with sanitized parenting narratives. They aim to peel back the layers: covering fertility, miscarriage, postpartum sex, identity shifts, IVF, abortion, navigating motherhood while holding onto selfhood—and everything in between.
In this conversation, we explore:
* How the name “Jelly” became their metaphor for adaptability, warmth, and messy transformation
* The personal “I-wish-someone-had-told-me” moments that drove them to build a platform
* How they balance creative careers, motherhood, and mission
* Their editorial philosophy: radical honesty instead of extremes (doom or glow)
* The challenges and breakthroughs of building community around deeply personal stories
Whether you’re a parent, an aspiring founder, or someone fascinated by identity & storytelling, this is a raw, inside look at how two women are making space for all the sticky, beautiful truths of motherhood.
