As a parent, do you ever feel bare and naked? Totally unsure of what’s right or wrong, loaded up with experts’ tips and tricks yet still feeling lost, misunderstood, and (worst of all) alone? We do. Let’s talk. We are Milano Buckley and Alanna Leavell, hosts of Bare Naked Moms, a weekly parenting roundtable where celebs, influencers, experts, and everyday parents discuss the uncomfortable moments of modern family life. Parenting is tough and no matter who you are, you’ll get stuck in some thorny, tick-infested parenting weeds. Each week, we have an honest and respectful conversation about sticky stories and questions, hoping to bring relief and clarity on how to find more peace, joy, connection, and humor in your lives as parents.

We’re Milano Buckley and Alanna Leavell, two moms of three and hosts of Bare Naked Moms—a weekly tell-it-like-it-is parenting roundtable of celebs, influencers, experts, and bold everyday carpoolers like us, taking on the messy, uncomfortable moments of modern family life that usually lie between the lines or out of bounds, but always leave us feeling like defenseless emperors without clothes.

Ever wonder about the winding roads that lead us to where we are, especially to the wild, beautiful, and often chaotic journey of motherhood? This week, we’re peeling back another layer, but this time, it’s from one of our very own. Milano steps into the guest seat on a different podcast, and we knew we had to share this special conversation with you, our Bare Naked Moms community.

After all, if Mama’s not happy, nobody’s happy!
