This episode is a real reintroduction to Paulina Roe and the why behind The Mami Collective, without the highlight reel. Paulina shares the fear she had becoming a mom, the pressure to “tone it down,” and the truth she wishes someone said sooner: you don’t have to disappear to be a good mom.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting more, worried you’d lose yourself in motherhood, or found yourself shrinking to fit what people expect, this one is for you. Paulina breaks down what this community was built for, what you’ve created together, and where The Mami Collective is headed next: more intentional rooms, deeper connection, and programming that actually supports moms building real lives.

Because you’re allowed to want both, and you don’t have to do it alone.

There’s a narrative that motherhood makes dating harder, lonelier, or impossible. Bela Gandhi is here to shut that down.

In this episode, Paulina and dating coach Bela Gandhi unpack what dating actually looks like after kid-from single moms navigating the apps to married couples trying to stay emotionally connected in the chaos of real life.

They talk about pacing relationships, why dating funnels matter, how to protect your time as a parent, and the red flags moms should stop ignoring. Plus: why long-term love isn’t about fireworks—it’s about showing up.

Inside this episode:

• Why dating apps aren’t the enemy (and how to use them wisely)
• How single moms should pace new relationships
• When kids should meet a new partner (and why waiting matters)
• The truth about guilt, grief, and starting over
• How emotional safety fuels intimacy in marriage

Honest, practical, and deeply validating-this episode is for moms who want partnership without settling.

In this episode of The Mami Collective, Paulina chats with Nallely Montenegro, founder of Shape Chicago, a trailblazing community that empowers women—especially Latinas—to prioritize their health and wellness. Nallely shares her personal journey, how she turned her passion into a thriving movement, and the unique challenges and opportunities in creating these inclusive spaces. Tune in as we explore the importance of representation, body positivity, balancing motherhood, and building a supportive community for moms to thrive in their health journey!

Paulina sits down with family law attorney and single mom Aliette Hernandez Carolan to talk about what divorce really looks like-money, motherhood, and finding your footing again.

They unpack the before, during, and after: getting clear on your finances, protecting your peace, and making decisions from a grounded place, not a chaotic one.

Aliette shares the truth about control, co-parenting, and what it actually means to build a new life without losing yourself in the process.

In This Episode:

• Know what your life really costs
• Access to cash ≠ financial control
• “Shared responsibility” doesn’t mean shared peace
• Don’t make moves from survival mode
• Kids need two happy parents, not one burned-out one
• Start with education, not court

Because starting over isn’t failure-it’s power.

This week, Paulina sits down with Dr. Maggie Grothe- mom of two under three and founder of Root Dental in Algonquin, Illinois- for the kind of conversation that feels like a deep, grounding breath. They talk about what it really looks like to open a dental practice from scratch with a baby on your hip, why her “you got outbid” text in the hospital became her villain origin story, and how having a career can actually make you a better, more present mom.

And because she’s a dentist, we go there: when kids really need their first dental visit (hint: it’s earlier than you think), what to know about fluoride and “holistic” care, why purees and all-day snacking might be quietly wrecking your family’s teeth, and simple swaps that protect tiny smiles and yours.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I allowed to want more for myself and my kids at the same time?”- this episode is your reminder: you’re not selfish, you’re building something. For you, and for them.
