One’s Preggo, One’s Postpartum, and Both Are All the Feels! With Sarah and Teresa
This week on The Mother Daze, we’re diving headfirst into the wild, sweaty, beautiful mess that is postpartum. We’re chatting about real-deal community care (bring it on!), baby sprinkles, what’s actually worth buying for your newborn, and the so-called “must-haves” that end up buried in the back of a drawer.
We’re getting into the nitty gritty; hormone rollercoasters, night sweats, chafing, bodily odors and aaaaall the comments about our bodies, both pregnant and postpartum.
We also talk about “the slow down” and how to honour the magic of the first 40 days. Those sacred weeks of rest, healing, and soft landings. Also we get cute baby Ocean noises at the start too swooooooon

Sisterhood, Growing Up & Finding Your Voice with Phoebe Tonkin
This week on the pod we welcome the one and only Phoebe Tonkin; actress, producer, fashion icon, and all-round mega babe.
Tonks has captivated audiences for years; whether she’s splashing onto our screens as a mermaid in H2O, romancing the undead in The Vampire Diaries, casting spells in The Secret Circle, dominating Aussie TV with her award-winning turn in Boy Swallows Universe, or lighting up the pages of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Marie Claire. She joins her bestie Tez and our gal Sarah for a juicy, joy-filled chat that goes everywhere.
We dive into the early days of Your Zen Life, the swirl of the wellness world, and the intense pressure of being a 20-something in Hollywood. The girls reflect on championing each other through the industry, learning from their younger selves, finding your voice (and losing it along the way), and why being each other’s biggest cheerleaders matters more than ever.
Phoebe also spills on her stunning NYC wedding, the epic new show she’s leading, and the full-circle moment of presenting each other with recent acting awards. Sisterhood and Soul chats, just how we like it!

Postpartum, baby love & fourth trimester feels
This week we’re deep in the postpartum bubble with some audio highlights from the two littlest ladies of our clan, Ocean & Prairie!!
We check in with Sarah during her first week as a mama of four (!) and unpack it all: middle-of-the-night feeds, milky boobs, hormonal dips, a medical scare, and the sacred softness of falling in love with your newborn. We talk about the big feelings, the shifting family dynamic, the tears, the big siblings excitement, the nourishment and support (shoutout Eric & Sonya!), and the pure magic of those early newborn days. It’s a tender, raw, and insightful look at this gorgeous time in Sarah’s life.
Plus, we check in with Teresa about her desires for her upcoming birth, what she’s hoping to do differently, and how she’s feeling now that she’s in the single-digit countdown to baby!

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.
