On this week’s episode, we’re joined by mama and singer Julie Mintz, whose path to her daughter Ophelia is nothing short of extraordinary. Decade-old frozen eggs, shocking lab errors, surrogacy setbacks, countless retrievals, and the discovery that she and her husband were both genetic carriers for the same disease. Then came HOPE in the form of one healthy embryo. One tiny maybe. At 47, she welcomed her baby Ophelia and turned her own miracle into a mission, offering financial support to help other families grow. It’s a story that is at times harrowing and frustrating, and one that captures the real-world courage behind so many fertility journeys.

This week, Tez and Sarah sit down with one of Tez’s Byron Bay gal pals, the luminous Laura May; mama and founder/creative director of the beloved brand Nagata. Laura shares how she worked with the universe to call in the divine timing of her daughter’s conception, what her first pregnancy was like, and the wild ride that was her maiden birth. From a planned homebirth that became a transfer to navigating a long, stop/start posterior labour, Laura opens up about how she anchored herself in acceptance, surrender, and trust as her birth plan shifted. We dive into the few day marathon, the mystical moments, the messy bits, and the transformation that unfolds when a woman meets her edge. It’s raw, magical, and deeply relatable, a story for anyone who’s ever birthed a baby, birthed themselves, or surrendered to a timeline bigger than their own.

This week on The Mother Daze, we are deep-diving into everything, in the most delightfully all-over-the-place way that only we can. Teresa gives the inside scoop on her brand-new movie, we share the messy/heart-bursting updates from our weeks, and we finally reveal our next big adventure: the Dazey Women’s Circle is officially launching! Spots are teeny-tiny, so if you feel the nudge to join… follow it, babesss.  Sarah also shares the wild astrology reading she had and the signs, and cosmic breadcrumbs guiding her into the new year. And together we reflect on this past year: the growth, the grief, the hilarity, and the ways motherhood has shape-shifted us once again. Plus we talk the real postpartum stuff, staying well when you’re time-poor, movement that actually feels supportive, supplements we love, and the micro-rituals that keep us tethered when life feels like a tumble dryer!!!
