Perelel Lives: Recent Episodes
Perelel
Welcome to Perelel Lives, a podcast where we learn about the tireless yet vibrantly challenging role the women we admire most live in parallel to their careers and personal pursuits: becoming and being a mom.
We live in a society that glamorizes and celebrates women‘s careers, the companies they’ve built, and the movements they’ve created. But, what we’ve failed to highlight is a facet of their lives that is far more personal—a side that presents perhaps the hardest, but most rewarding job of all—a job with no PTO, no holiday breaks, no sick days, and no salary. Oh, and it also lasts a lifetime: motherhood. Here, we have real conversations about motherhood. (Not another parenting podcast.)
This podcast is presented by Perelel, the first & only OB/GYN-founded vitamin brand for women offering targeted nutrition for each stage of womanhood. Learn more at PerelelHealth.com and use code LIVES20 for 20% off your first month.
Today’s episode of Perelel Lives is a special dad edition in honor of Father’s Day. Our guest is none other than Miles Garber, host and founder of Call Me Dada, a media platform and podcast that aims to educate, inspire, and start a conversation about modern fatherhood. Miles is a longtime favorite of ours over here at Perelel because of his vulnerability and mission of helping other dads feeling alienated or afraid in the parenthood journey. He’s a dad to his daughter, Maxime, and is currently writing his soon-to-debut book, Call Me Dada, about his own story and realizations. He also offers one-on-one coaching for other dads and dads-to-be. We talk about becoming a parent from a dad's POV, how the male brain changes in fatherhood, and how we can all better support our partners and dads. It’s an insightful conversation that we’re sure you’re going to love.
Our next guest needs no introduction, but we’ll give it to you anyway. In today’s episode, we chatted with Catt Sadler, renowned for her work on E! Entertainment, where she spent over a decade as a host and a regular fixture on the red carpet. Today, she hosts and produces her own weekly podcast: It Sure is a Beautiful Day and launched a personal video series, Midlife & Me. We chatted about her pregnancy experience after being diagnosed with an incompetent cervix, navigating Agoraphobia while postpartum, how she walked away from E! after finding out her salary was half of what her male counterpart was making, perimenopause and more.
