Birthing Ocean Rain- 4th birth story with Sarah and Eric Olsen
This is the episode you’ve all been waiting for! Sarah is joined by her husband Eric to share the full, unfiltered 1 hour and 40 minute retelling of their daughter and fourth child, Ocean Rain Olsen’s birth story. And it’s a journey. This was a birth filled with unexpected turns, moments of deep fear, physical exhaustion, and emotional intensity that pushed Sarah to the very edge of what felt humanly possible. And still, she stayed in it. With radical acceptance, strength, and an unwavering ‘yes and’ mentality, she kept showing up to every moment, no matter how wild or overwhelming. Through surrender, grit, courage and grace, Sarah navigated the most complicated and challenging birth of her life. It’s raw, it’s real, it’s a masterclass in trusting your body and spirit, even when everything feels out of control. This is one incredibly moving and inspiring story.

Sex, Spells & Sisterhood With Guest Host Rumer Willis
This week on The Mother Daze, Sarah’s out on bedrest with Covid (this was recorded pre-pushing out her 11lb 4oz baby girl!) so we’ve called in a guest host, the magical, mystical, and wildly multitalented Rumer Willis! Actress, singer, sexuality advocate, wellness witch, writer, mama… honestly, we’d need a second episode just to list her titles. She’s whimsical, wise, and basically a walking moonstone. Let the coven vibes commence.
We dive deep into gal pal territory! We’re talkin’ sex, orgasms (yep, even the faked ones), hookups, vibrators, hot cowboys, and birthing all the babies in all the land. Oh and there’s commune dreams, raising kids in community, manifesting magic, and what we’re calling in for future births. SO FUN! it’s a sparkly, soulful, spicy ride. Basically, the kind of convo every group of girlfriends has (or should have) when the tea is hot, the crystals are out and the vibes are high.

RV Tales, Rollercoasters & the Waiting Place
This week on The Mother Daze, Teresa’s back from the road and full of colorful stories—from random roadside water parks and stinky towns to unbelievable wonderlands of play (hello, Mall of America rollercoasters!). She shares the highs, the hilarity, the surprisingly peaceful rhythm of RV life—and a little woo-woo magic courtesy of a spontaneous reading with a witchy friend along the way. Meanwhile, Sarah is deep in the waiting place, riding out the final days before baby time. We talk about the strange things people say to pregnant women, the edge-of-birth energy, how she’s been clearing fear in preparation for labor, and finding moments of calm in the chaos.
