    GLP-1s & the Post-Kids Body: What’s Different, What’s Working & What’s Next
    Mar 26 2026
    After kids, many parents notice that their bodies don’t respond the way they used to. Weight loss feels harder. Energy fluctuates differently. Hormones, sleep disruption, stress, and the mental load of caregiving all intersect — and the growing conversation around GLP-1 medications has added a new layer of curiosity, confusion, and questions. Join us for GLP-1s & the Post-Kids Body: What’s Different, What’s Working & What’s Next, a nuanced and evidence-informed conversation exploring how bodies change after pregnancy and caregiving — and where GLP-1s fit (and don’t fit) into the bigger picture of health, metabolism, and sustainability. Moderated by journalist and host Kanika Chadda-Gupta, this discussion brings together clinical expertise and structured behavior-change insight to ground the conversation beyond headlines and hot takes. We’ll explore: ✨ Why the post-kids body responds differently than before ✨ The role of hormones, stress, sleep, and mental load in metabolic health ✨ What GLP-1s do, what they don’t, and who they may be appropriate for ✨ How behavior change, nutrition, and support intersect with medication ✨ Common misconceptions and safety considerations parents should understand ✨ What long-term, sustainable health looks like beyond a single intervention Moderator: Kanika Chadda-Gupta, That’s Total Mom Sense Panelists: Dr. Alexandra Sowa (SoWell) + Olivia Ward (Weight Watchers) Whether you’re curious about GLP-1s, navigating postpartum or post-kids body changes, or simply trying to understand why your body feels different now, this conversation will offer clarity, context, and grounded insight — without judgment.

  • REPLAY: KELLY ROWLAND: It Starts with Mom

    REPLAY: KELLY ROWLAND: It Starts with Mom
    Mar 19 2026
    Hi everyone. I’m Kanika Chadda Gupta. I’m a television journalist, podcast host of “That’s Total Mom Sense,” wife and mom of three. I am having a fangirl moment right now because I am with the beautiful, talented singer, songwriter, actress, and author who has grown up alongside us. She’s been singing her whole life and began her musical career as a founding member of Destiny’s Child and here we are with children of our own. I’m about to “say her name, say her name.” Kelly Rowland is an American singer, performer, songwriter, actress, and television personality. She rose to fame in the late 1990s as a member of Destiny's Child, one of the world's best-selling girl groups of all time. She soon released her debut solo studio album, Simply Deep in 2002, debuting at #1 on the UK Albums Chart and sold over 3 million copies worldwide. Rowland eventually became a judge on the eighth season of The X Factor (UK version), as well as the 3rd season of The X Factor (USA) in 2013. She has continued her television career by hosting Chasing Destiny, and starred as a coach on The Voice (Australia). Throughout her career, Rowland has sold 40M+ records as a solo artist, and an additional 60M+ records with Destiny's Child. She's won 4 Grammy Awards, 1 Billboard Music Award, and 2 Soul Train Music Awards — she's also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as part of Destiny's Child, and as a solo artist, she has been honored by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers and Essence for her contributions to music. In 2014, Fuse ranked Rowland in their "100 Most Award-Winning Artists" list. Kelly and her husband Tim Weatherspoon have two sons, Titan and Noah. In 2022, she released her children’s book, Always with You, Always with Me.

    PARUL SOMANI: The #1 Question to Ask Before Making Any Big Life Decision
    Mar 12 2026
    What if regret isn’t something to avoid, but a compass to guide your biggest decisions? In this episode, I sit down with Parul Somani, business strategist, MIT and Harvard Business School graduate, former Bain & Company leader, cancer survivor, and author of The Path of Least Regret. After being diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer at 31, shortly after the birth of her second child, Parul transformed her personal and professional journey into a powerful framework for resilient decision-making. We explore how to lead through uncertainty, make values-aligned choices, and redefine success beyond conventional achievement. This conversation is about courage, clarity, and choosing intentionally, even when the stakes feel impossibly high. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
