Summary

Renee is joined by activist, storyteller, and mom of two, Sarain Fox, for a vulnerable and uplifting conversation about the parts of motherhood we don’t talk about enough—loneliness, identity shifts, and the magic of finding community. From postpartum during the pandemic to the unexpected grief of letting go of the mom you thought you'd be, Sarain shares how her reality as a new mom differed from the narrative she had in her head. They talk about how friendships change after kids, the importance of being that friend who reaches out, and why even a walk around the block with someone can be transformational. Sarain also opens up about her work with the Cybex Stroll Together initiative, the healing power of movement, and how something as simple as a stroller helped her reclaim a sense of self. Whether you’re in the thick of new motherhood or reflecting back on those early years, this episode is a warm reminder that you’re not alone—and it’s okay to ask for more support, more connection, and more space to just be.
