The Mother Daze with Sarah Wright Olsen & Teresa Palmer

by Sarah Wright Olsen & Teresa Palmer

Sarah Wright Olsen (American Made, Parks and Recreation) and Teresa Palmer (Warm Bodies, Hacksaw Ridge) are two moms, from opposite ends of the world, meeting for an hour every week to discuss the mayhem, magic and madness of raising their 8 children between them. Motherhood can feel overwhelming, exhausting and isolating but you don’t have to do it alone! Follow along as they attempt to navigate, ask questions, share stories, break down the everyday challenges and hopefully keep you from googling phrases like “What does it mean when my baby’s poop is green?” Grab your coffee, tea, Kombucha or favorite libation and join as they discuss mom fails, poop talk, pillow talk, and much more. These moms will engage in some brilliant interviews with celebrity friends, parenting experts and listeners like you! From the creators of the celebrated Your Zen Mama community, Sarah Wright Olsen and Teresa Palmer bring you “The Mother Daze”, a refreshing and real look in to the wild and wonderful days of Motherhood. Subscribe so you never miss an episode, whether you’re listening sitting in your minivan or taking some me time in the tub.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The honesty, humor and vulnerability with which Sarah and Teresa share thier stories (and those of thier guests!) is deeply resonant and inspiring. I feel seen as a mother, creative, and woo woo enthusiast alike.

KatherineRoseWoller · Feb 2025

Thank you for this podcast! I found you after binging the lovely Ms. Palmer in her series about witches over my Christmas break. My googling led me here. As a spiritual woman who grew up in a religious home I feel I have found a lovely listening home. I started my journey to self when I joined a yoga teacher training cohort during COVID ( we started virtually and gradually were able to meet in person). Your most recent episode on manifesting spoke to me as did Theresa’s hesitation to speak directly on all these topics. I feel the same but I also know i wear it on my sleeve! Grateful to have found you! Looking forward to more listens!

Somehow I stumbled upon this podcast when I was considering getting pregnant a couple years ago. Wow what a gift - I feel like my outlook on life, birth, parenting has changed forever after becoming a devoted Daisy! I ended up having the home birth and pregnancy experience of my dreams with a wonderful midwife, all because their birth stories opened my eyes to a different way of doing things. Every week I look forward to this podcast, whether it’s a birth story or a wild tale from Teresa, I am here for it!! ❤️

SouthPasMom · Nov 2024

I think I’ve listened to every episode now? I seriously love listening to Sarah and Teresa every week so much! I genuinely look forward to Thursday’s because of it. I have been looking up to these ladies forever (favs: Warm Bodies/House Bunny). Also, I’m not even a mom but I’m from the south and currently live in LA so I relate a lot to the pulls of small town living/industry living as I too want to be an actress. They just feel like friends I get to catch up with every week and they always keep it real. Please never stop making it happen!!!
