The Mommy Artist Podcast

This week, we’re joined by Natalie Saibel, an actress and performer with the Metropolitan Opera’s Acting Company. Natalie gives us a glimpse into her daily life at one of the world’s most prestigious opera houses and what it really takes to keep showing up for your art after becoming a parent. We’re talking about her fertility journey, the support systems that make it all possible, and finding balance between life on stage and life at home.

This week, we’re joined by Sibo: a lawyer, mom of three, and stand-up comedian who started comedy at 40! After 17 years in law, she decided to step onto a comedy stage and discover a whole new side of herself. We talk about creative reinvention, and what happens when you give yourself permission to try something completely unexpected. Because sometimes your midlife crisis is actually your next chapter!

As a doula, Jennifer now focuses on helping families navigate those early, often overwhelming days of bringing a baby home.

We’re talking postpartum support, trusting your instincts, building confidence, and spotting childcare red flags.

This week, we’re joined by Samantha Magnolia: a mother, writer, former theater kid, and founder of Altar of Us. We talk about identity, creativity, healing, and the stories we inherit. Through somatic practice, spiritual exploration, and humor, Samantha shares how we can reconnect with ourselves, trust our instincts, and feel more at home in who we are.

This week we're celebrating the magic of storytelling with the incredible Christine. From Hollywood to San Francisco, Christine has spent years bringing stories to life through film, theater, and writing.  She's the co-creator of Stretchmarks!

Just 11 months postpartum and fresh off performing alongside Miley Cyrus during the SNL 50th anniversary show, Cydney shares how motherhood has transformed both her life and her career. We talk about finding your way back to yourself, balancing motherhood with a creative career, and discovering new strength, resilience, and love through every season of life.

This week we chat with the one and only Pearls Daily: dancer, actress, burlesque artist, and filmmaker. She opens up about her journey as an artist, trusting the timing of your creative path, and what it really means to be yourself on stage. We get into why burlesque is so much more than people think; it's a full celebration of women's confidence and self-love. From tears to tricks (and plenty of laughs in between), this episode is a joyful reminder that embracing who you are is the bravest performance of all.

This week on The mommy Artist Podcast, we are joined by actor, singer, writer, and educator Jodi Glaser-Taub to talk about her debut children’s book, Me and Marta and the Magic Shoes.

Today, we chat with artist, educator, and storyteller Grace Lang. Grace’s bold, beautiful, joy-filled work is rooted in childhood drawings and her own rich personal mythology. We talk about how her love of the written word shapes her visual art, what working with children has taught her about staying curious, and why she believes that making art helps us become more thoughtful citizens. This conversation is full of heart, color, and wisdom. Get ready to step into Grace’s world!
