• 079 - Businesses, a Baby and Barely Sleeping with Ana-Maria Jaramillo
    May 13 2026

    This week on Doing It All, we sit down with Ana-Maria Jaramillo—bilingual speech-language pathologist, founder of Voz Institute, and owner of beloved and viral taco spot La Tejana DC—for one of our realest conversations yet!

    We talk about everything from identity, entrepreneurship, building businesses… to fertility issues and challenges in relationships after having a baby.

    Ana-Maria opens up about her journey into motherhood, navigating her son’s early health challenges, surviving the exhaustion of a non-sleeping baby, and learning to release the pressure of perfection while managing multiple businesses and a family.

    We also get into:

    • Allowing yourself to feel angry about your pregnancy, birth, or postpartum experience

    • The emotional load mothers carry behind the scenes

    • Hiring your weaknesses instead of trying to excel at everything

    • Building support systems that actually support you

    • What helps her to “do it all” in motherhood

    • And of course… the art of the perfect breakfast taco!

    This episode is honest, layered, funny, validating, and deeply human—especially for anyone trying to hold onto themselves while caring for everyone else.

  • 078 - The Spectrum of Motherhood
    May 6 2026

    Motherhood is beautiful… and complicated… and sometimes a little unhinged.


    In this Mother’s Day episode, we hold space for the full spectrum of what it means to be a mom right now. We have an honest conversation about the realities of Black maternal health—and reflect on three recent cases in the news involving Black mothers that ended in tragedy. These stories are heavy, but necessary, and we approach them with care, empathy, and a desire to keep these conversations from being ignored.


    From there, we get personal—sharing our own motherhood experiences, how we’ve changed, and the versions of ourselves we’ve had to grieve along the way.


    And because this is Doing It All, we balance it with the moments that keep us laughing:


    our take on “freak numbers” (let’s just say… Sarah went from a 6 to maybe a 4, while Maya is a tentative 7 )

    Maya sharing a very honest “did I really just say that to my child?” moment that had us both in tears

    the phrases we say at least 100 times a day to our toddlers

    and our current favorite “horror movies”… aka what we’ve discovered in the depths of our kids’ car seats (truly terrifying)


    We also leave you with a simple challenge this week: do something for yourself that you normally do for everyone else. The same care, effort, and intention—you deserve that too. And if you do, post it and tag us—we want to see it


    We also read a listener letter that hit home for all of us—on grieving who you were before motherhood, and what it looks like to slowly find yourself again.


    Whether you’re holding a lot right now, missing your old self, or just trying to make it to bedtime—this episode is for you. Happy Mother's Day!

  • 076 - Re-release: Evelynn Escobar is Doing It All! Nature, Nurture, and Community.
    Apr 2 2026

    In this rerelease if an episode from this time last year, we sat down with a woman who isn’t just making history—she’s rewiring it. Evelynn Escobar, founder of Hike Clerb, has built a movement that empowers racialized people to reconnect with the outdoors. She’s reclaiming space, redefining belonging, and reminding us that nature is for everyone.
    At a time when DEI efforts are being challenged and the environment feels more precious than ever, this conversation is necessary. We’re diving into the intersection of representation, environmental justice, and the radical act of rest in nature—because touching grass isn’t just a hobby, it’s resistance.
    Evelynn also opens up about motherhood, how she includes her toddler in everything she does, and how she’s preparing to welcome another child. She shares her journey with home birthing, the importance of being surrounded by a team that has your best interest at heart, and how her village has helped her show up as the best version of herself.
    This is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt like they don’t belong—whether in the outdoors, in certain spaces, or in systems that weren’t built with them in mind.

  • 075 - Your Village Needs an Audit
    Mar 18 2026

    Everyone says “it takes a village”… but what if the village you have isn’t actually supporting you the way you need?

    In this episode, Maya and Sarah get honest about what a village really looks like in certain seasons of life. They unpack the difference between emotional support and real, practical help, and why proximity, history, and good intentions don’t always equal true support.

    Together, they walk through a sort of “village audit” — a gentle but eye-opening way to assess who is truly showing up in your life right now, and where you may need to shift or build new support.

    They also share:

    • The 3 types of villagers everyone needs (and why no one person can be all three)

    • Red flags and green flags in friendships and support systems

    • How to ask for help and give help clearly

    • Tangible ways to build (and be part of) a village

    This episode is your reminder that doing it all was never meant to be done alone.

    Mar 5 2026

    This week we’re re-releasing one of our most powerful conversations with Stephany Faublas. Stephany and her daughter Cadence share a truly special bond, working together as partners in both life and creativity. In this episode, we explore their unique mother-daughter relationship, what it’s like raising each other, and how they support each other through their personal and professional journeys.

    Stephany opens up about single motherhood, the courage it takes to speak honestly about difficult relationships and the realities many mothers face behind closed doors. We also talk about their viral TikTok moment, the unpolished side of creating content online, and what it looks like to grow alongside your child.

    Since this conversation first aired, Stephany has continued sharing her story on her podcast, After Birth, as well as her youtube channel. She has also started a nonprofit called the F U fund which is designed to help women financially through situations similar to her own.

    Knowing how far she and Cadence have come since this recording makes this conversation hit even deeper. We’re honored to share it again.

  • 073 - Darren Graham on Creating A Full Life
    Feb 19 2026

    This week, we’re joined by Darren Graham-a content creator, and single dad by choice whose building family and community on his own terms.

    We talk about Darren’s journey from educator to content creator, his path to fatherhood through adoption, and what it’s looked like to step into this new chapter with intention. He shares how his love of fashion and personal style shows up in his everyday life, and how that expression is already being passed down to his son.

    We also get into what “village” really means, from his support of communities like the Brooklyn Stroll Club to the people who show up for him in real life, and why parenthood is never meant to be done alone.

    Darren also shares a heartfelt love letter to Black women, what he considers an “op,” and how he unwinds, bringing both humor and honesty to the conversation.

    This episode is funny, emotional, and a powerful reminder that building a full life, and raising a child, takes intention, presence, and community.

    Blair is the co-founder of Post 21, a thoughtfully curated marketplace celebrating Black-owned businesses. Spencer is a former NFL player turned consulting producer and the real-life inspiration behind the hit TV show All American. Together, they are a dynamic, deeply intentional couple building careers, raising children, and protecting their marriage in the process.

    In this episode, Blair and Spencer open up about what it really looks like to balance ambition and partnership — from navigating demanding careers and entrepreneurship to raising two young kids while staying connected as husband and wife.

    • Building individual dreams while supporting each other’s growth

    • Protecting your relationship in high-demand seasons

    • Communication, ego, and recalibrating when life shifts

    • Parenting as a team

    • The logistics (and love) behind “doing it all”
