• Lacy Nicole on navigating trauma, advocating for yourself in the medical world and healing your inner child

  In this powerful episode, we sit down with Lacy Nicole, a true testament to resilience and transformation. Lacy opens up about her extraordinary journey, from a childhood shaped by addiction to surviving abduction by a gang in her 20s, battling seven autoimmune diseases, navigating divorce, and more. She shares how she broke free from the cycle of victimhood that once defined her, embraced a profound mindset shift, and defied the odds to become a mother while reparenting herself. We explore the importance of self-advocacy in the medical system, balancing intuition with medical diagnoses, and challenging the “wait and see” approach—a topic close to Dale’s heart after her experience with Leo’s toe walking.

• Toddler Tantrums

  Our account has always been about keeping it real, not just sharing the highlight reels—so it’s time to talk about toddler tantrums. This is a phase none of us can avoid, and we want to normalize it because, honestly, tantrums are a healthy part of development. While we’re definitely not experts (manifesting Dr. Becky as a future podcast guest), we’ve picked up a few tips and tricks for navigating tantrums over the past few months. Whether it’s a public meltdown (arms flailing, lying on the ground), a private one at home, or in the middle of the street, we’re here to remind you that you’re not alone. We’ll share what’s worked for us—and if you have advice, we’re all ears!Sollis Health is now introducing their Sollis Family membership, the only medical membership that’s on demand for your family 24/7, 365.

She reflects on the challenges of returning to work after maternity leave, the anxiety it brought, and how it led to honest conversations with her team, investors, and community. Carly sheds light on the less glamorous side of entrepreneurship, discussing the delicate balance between running a company and navigating motherhood, as well as the guilt that often arises when one takes priority over the other. We also explore the concept of future tripping, a recurring theme in Carly’s life, and the strategies she uses to stay grounded.
