The Mother Daze with Sarah Wright Olsen & Teresa Palmer

This week on The Mother Daze we’re deep in the beautiful chaos of motherhood, with scooting babies keeping us on high alert and baby proofing becoming a full-time job. We chat the simple joys of a Costco run, what our sleep scores and aura rings are really telling us, and Sarah’s surprisingly impressive sleep score despite a baby on the boob all night. We get into the magic of those truly special teachers who shape our kids in ways we’ll never forget, a little St Patty’s Day energy, and the ever-evolving realities of our bodies… including those unexpected little “baby vagina” fat folds casually setting up camp under our armpits. Teresa’s kids have started a band (yes, fo realz because why not add more to the plate?!), we talk Lotus’ first foods, tooth fairy logistics, and navigating the Santa chat with our curious pre-teens. Tez shares her current skincare ritual that’s genuinely making her feel ten years younger. After considering a late night sprint to get a face full of Boey, she discovered the natural alternative she’s now shouting from the rooftops….face taping!!! #frowniesforever It’s motherhood, magic, shifting identities and small everyday wins, all wrapped into one very Mother Daze episode.

This week on the pod we sit down with environmental health expert and mama Lindsay Dahl, author of Cleaning House, for a deeply grounding, eye-opening chat about what it really means to create a healthier home without spiraling into perfectionism. From beauty products to the everyday cleaning staples sitting under your sink, Lindsay walks us through how to make more conscious choices without throwing everything out overnight, and where to actually start so it doesn’t feel overwhelming. We dive into trusted certifications like EWG and MADE SAFE, and how to decode labels so you can feel confident about what you’re bringing into your home and onto your body. We also explore the idea of micro moments of advocacy, those small, powerful choices that add up over time, and how to balance being informed without becoming overwhelmed. Because there’s a fine line between empowering our kids with knowledge and overloading them with information. This episode is proudly sponsored by Great Wolf Lodge!

The tired mama juggle is real and we’re giggling our way through it, throwing some grace at it, laughing at the dropped balls and celebrating the wins! We chat about outgrowing friendships, curating new connections, and what it really looks like to protect your energy and your space as a mama. There’s also a whole lot of woo woo mystical chat this week- angel numbers, mediums, birthday readings and signs all around us. Tez shares a story about a couple of her special pals, one on this side with her portal wide open and her friend on the other side guiding her from there. Plus we chat strange intuitive hits, being friends with men, and those eerie moments that feel like premonitions disguised as intrusive thoughts. Coincidence? We think not!!

Today we’re joined by our friend Megan Papay, co-founder of Freda Salvador, a brand that feels less like a shoe company and more like an energy. Built on three generations of shoemaking, Freda has become a reflection of personal style, intention, and the quiet power of women building something meaningful. We talk about the idea that getting dressed can actually be a form of storytelling. How what we wear can mirror the season we’re in, the energy we’re calling in, or even the things we’re ready to release. Megan shares the reality of building a business while raising children, navigating mom guilt while traveling for work, and the unexpected ways roadblocks in business can lead to the biggest expansion. From building a brand while raising kids to the quiet rituals that keep us grounded, Megan also shares the practices that help her stay connected to herself.

This week’s wild stories are plentiful. We unpack the absurdity of driving through the night to be a “Sexiest Person” while standing next to a Victoria’s Secret supermodel… and personally feeling mildly unalived. Not emotionally. Just aesthetically. Spiritually. Sleep-deprived-y. (And this was pre-kids.) We talk God of War, Sarah filming Matlock, birthday snow trips, and the wobbly dance of mixing work and motherhood. What happens when your baby won’t take a bottle but you’re needed on set? How do you hold ambition and attachment at the same time without losing your sssht?! We dive into insecurities and carving out space in the entertainment industry as mothers. We chat birth order personalities; the feral wildlings versus the rule followers, family labels, individuality, and how to help our children become fully themselves. Ocean’s first tooth makes an appearance, and we close with a beautiful recap of our recent women’s circle that legit changed our lives!

This week we sit down with Emily Doyle, founder of Ursa Major and fellow mama, to talk about the real birth story behind building a brand while raising a family at the same time. We dive into the why behind Ursa Major, what it means to keep it real and relatable in the beauty business, and Emily shares some beautiful, grounded words for our Dazeys about taking the leap and launching something of your own. We also discuss what it actually looks like to find aligned business partners, and the deeper commitment required to stay authentic as you grow. And then… one of our favourite le poddy topics. Aging! We mount our soapbox to unpack our feelings around the whole “anti-aging” narrative. We’re not anti anything… in fact, it’s a damn privilege to grow older. We talk about the quiet pressure to tinker with your face. The subtle feeling of being left behind if you’re not doing Botox, fillers, all the things. We unpack our personal definitions of beauty and why confidence, magnetism and that undeniable twinkle in your eyes will always win. This is an ep about radiating energy, choosing joy and feeling glowy in your own skin. Resource Links: ursamajorvt.com lovewell.earth lovewell.

Solo ep this week aaaaand we went everywhere! We talk all about our women’s circle and the way it keeps showing up for us in the most nurturing, grounding, “ohhhh this is why community matters” kind of way. The softness. The honesty. The way women holding women just hit different. Tez retells a fully wild WTF-universe story where it showed up in the most epic, aligned, magical way… and also in the most “are you fkn kidding me?!” way. The emotional whiplash! The rollercoaster! The mother overload! The what-the-hell-did-I-get-myself-into?! We chat the light and dark balance again, and how both can exist at the exact same time. Sarah talks about her intuitive hits surrounding her dad and his health, and we discuss getting to re-parent ourselves in parenting. Teresa reflects on what turning 40 is stirring internally. Going inward. Looking at patterns. Recognising presence. Taking stock of who and what gets your energy moving forward!

From the covers of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Elle, to founding one of the world’s leading maternity and postpartum brands, Nicole Trunfio has redefined what it looks like to show up for women through motherhood with her groundbreaking company Bumpsuit. This week on the pod, we talk with Nic about her beautifully colourful, whirlwind life raising three kids, and the heart behind building a company that quite literally and emotionally wraps women during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. We dive into Bumpsuit’s mission to support women in all seasons through Nic’s products, her podcast, community gatherings, and the powerful resources she’s helping make accessible for mums and women everywhere. We also get real about dropping balls, releasing perfection, and learning to forgive ourselves as mothers.

We’re talking big life shifts! Tez’s big move (“It’s gonna be a bit chilly, eh?”), her God of War news, and the auditioning experience, including those moments where the universe shows up right when you’re on the brink. We dive into audition horror stories, nerves, rejection, and the emotional whiplash of putting yourself out there… weeeeee (followed by nervous). We also catch the Dazeys up on our recent EPIC beyond EPIC Olsen/Palmer hang (swooooon!!) and unpack easy friends vs tricky friends. There’s a recap of our recent women’s circle, some rage cleaning, and we get fully emo about our kids growing up, because time flies, ya know? Plus, we chat night-time rituals- those quiet moments of connection with the kids, and the way the littlest ones still long to feel like our little babies, even as they grow.

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr Melanie Jackson, PhD researcher and host of The Great Birth Rebellion, to explore evidence-based maternity care and how birth systems can better support women and babies across all birth settings. We discuss the medicalisation of birth, how fear and risk are often overstated in modern maternity care, and the need to shift social messaging that frames birth as inherently risky and dangerous. Mel explains why continuity of care is so important for positive birth outcomes, whether you’re planning a hospital birth, birth centre birth, home birth, vaginal birth, or caesarean birth. The conversation also explores the importance of acknowledging and working through fears around pregnancy and birth, rather than suppressing them. Mel shares three practical questions to ask when an intervention is suggested during pregnancy or labour: Is it medically necessary? Is it standard policy or usual practice? Or is it the doctor’s personal preference? A grounded, inclusive conversation about informed consent, maternal choice, and maternity care that prioritises the birthing mother and baby (duh!!) An essential listen for women thinking about having a baby, currently pregnant, or preparing for birth- in other words…share this with your preggy and preggy-to-be friends Dazeys!!

In this solo episode, we get into the manifesting practices we actually use, what’s brewing with our next women’s circle, and why one-on-one time with kids in big families really hits different. We talk about the mindset reset that comes with realising we’re living inside the dreams we once cooked up as kids, share a few stories from on-set visits with Sarah, and take a very necessary detour into Pokémon. We also tell the story of Lotus and Ocean meeting for the first time (aka Lotion), or if you’re as woo as us, the girls reuniting earth side.

This week we sit down with Jes Saddington! Mama of two, Byron Bay local, and founder of cult-favourite linen label Dazed but Amazed. One of Tez’s Byron homies and a BFF for life, Jes and Tez dive into the community they’ve built in the Bay; sun-soaked surf and skate evenings, never-ending sleepovers, and Prairie’s very serious crush on Jes’s husband (aka “my marriage”). We talk business evolution too, including the new directions Dazed is exploring, like introducing a cotton blend alongside the iconic tonal linen sets the brand is known for. Jes opens up about off-grid jungle-esque living, raising two nature-loving boys, and why she takes intentional hibernation breaks from work to recalibrate her life and creativity. Plus, Jes shares candidly about her postpartum recovery trauma, undergoing two reconstructive surgeries and the long healing road that followed.

Today’s episode is a total pinch-me moment as we sit down with our OG Dazey and ultimate Mother Daze superfan, the incredible Emmy-nominated Riley Keough! It’s a full-circle love fest as we gush over Riley’s phenomenal career and dive into shiz like the A-holes who hate kids on planes, Meisner-fueled Mad Max madness, character acting, singing and swinging at Chanel, and the raw duality of birth and death. Riley opens up about the isolation of grief and how co-authoring From Here to the Great Unknown with her mom, Lisa Marie Presley, became a deeply cathartic journey after her passing. We also fangirl over Riley’s brilliant balancing act as a mom, producer, and globally celebrated actor—covering everything from Zola to Sarah’s fav- Daisy Jones & the Six.

On this week’s episode, we’re joined by mama and singer Julie Mintz, whose path to her daughter Ophelia is nothing short of extraordinary. Decade-old frozen eggs, shocking lab errors, surrogacy setbacks, countless retrievals, and the discovery that she and her husband were both genetic carriers for the same disease. Then came HOPE in the form of one healthy embryo. One tiny maybe. At 47, she welcomed her baby Ophelia and turned her own miracle into a mission, offering financial support to help other families grow. It’s a story that is at times harrowing and frustrating, and one that captures the real-world courage behind so many fertility journeys.

This week, Tez and Sarah sit down with one of Tez’s Byron Bay gal pals, the luminous Laura May; mama and founder/creative director of the beloved brand Nagata. Laura shares how she worked with the universe to call in the divine timing of her daughter’s conception, what her first pregnancy was like, and the wild ride that was her maiden birth. From a planned homebirth that became a transfer to navigating a long, stop/start posterior labour, Laura opens up about how she anchored herself in acceptance, surrender, and trust as her birth plan shifted. We dive into the few day marathon, the mystical moments, the messy bits, and the transformation that unfolds when a woman meets her edge. It’s raw, magical, and deeply relatable, a story for anyone who’s ever birthed a baby, birthed themselves, or surrendered to a timeline bigger than their own.

This week on The Mother Daze, we dive headfirst into the wild (and occasionally sticky) world of keeping a household semi-functional, with boobies out, chores flying, and dogs eating things they definitely shouldn’t. From getting kids to clean up without it turning into a hostage situation to our genius 30-minute chore rule that actually works, we’re unpacking what it takes to raise capable, grounded kids and still keep your sanity. We chat birth order and personalities (why your firstborn is a mini-CEO while your youngest is living their best feral life), plus how to build a functional rhythm between family members so the whole house runs more on teamwork and less on tears!!

Modern manners meet modern parenting in this heart-warming chat with etiquette expert Myka Meier, founder of Beaumont Etiquette and mom of two. We dive into teaching kids the why behind “please” and “thank you,” handling toddler meltdowns in public, restaurant etiquette for families, and helping shy kids build confidence when speaking to adults. Myka also shares about her new YouTube show teaching manners to kids in a fun, relatable way and how to navigate those “please ground, swallow me now” parenting moments with humor and grace. Because raising kind, confident kids is the ultimate modern etiquette.
