Ep. 1: Why We Built a Dance Floor for Moms (and What Nelly Has to Do with It)

In our pilot episode, meet Elizabeth and Sarah—co-founders of Moms Feelin’ Themselves and the creators of The Mom Dance Party™, a mental health intervention disguised as a glitter-filled night out that is taking the country by storm.

We’re sharing the story behind the dance floor: how 500 moms ended up shaking it to Nelly, why that moment matters more than you think, and how movement, music, and community are helping moms feel more like themselves again.

We get into what drove us to create this experience in the first place (spoiler: it wasn’t just for the Beyoncé playlist), and why this podcast is our next step in offering moms something real, validating, and just a little irreverent.

We also talk identity, emotional honesty, and why “good vibes only” is not the vibe for moms. If you’ve ever felt like you lost yourself somewhere between the burp cloths and the calendar invites, this episode is your reminder: you’re still in there.

Key Takeaways:

• Moms Feelin' Themselves is more than a name—it’s a whole mood and mission to help moms reconnect with who they are.

• We’re building a real-deal community where moms feel seen, supported, and celebrated.

• Feeling all the feels (yes, even the hard ones) is part of the healing—mental health matters.

• Dance isn’t just movement—it’s medicine. It’s joy. It’s release.

• The Mom Dance Party started as a way to bring back fun, connection, and a little bit of wild freedom.

• Rediscovering your identity in motherhood is messy, beautiful, and totally worth exploring.

• No mom should do this alone—community care is self-care.

• Judgment-free zones? Mandatory. Because when moms feel safe, they shine.

• Every episode is rooted in real stories from real moms.

• Guilt-free self-care is the goal. You deserve to feel like YOU again.
