Ever feel like parenting is an unpredictable rollercoaster? You’re not alone. In today’s episode, we’re sitting down with the incredible Linzay Davis, an advocate for parental leave, mom of two, and all-around champion for new parents. Linzay gets real about the gut-punch reality of postpartum anxiety and depression, the chaos of parenting during a pandemic, and the life-changing moment that made her quit her job to start a mission-driven business helping other parents. This episode is packed with jaw-dropping truths, raw honesty, and even some laugh-out-loud moments—like why her daughter’s obsession with princess dresses has become a daily adventure.

You’ll walk away from this conversation feeling informed, empowered, and maybe even inspired to let your kid wear that Elsa dress to the grocery store. Trust us, Linzay’s story is the parenting pep talk you didn’t know you needed.
