Episode Description:
In this episode, Christina and Kristina sit down with lifestyle creator Maria Roberts — the voice behind @mariaroberts and former co-founder of the beloved blog Spinach for Breakfast.
Maria shares how she went from creating easy recipes with her sister in their early blogging days to building one of the most relatable (and funniest) motherhood communities online. She opens up about:
- The shift from Hoboken’s walk-everywhere lifestyle to suburban mom life
- How she uses humor to stay grounded through motherhood’s ups and downs
- The inspiration behind The Little Glow Society and creating a space for kids to feel celebrated
- What it's really like to have content go viral — the good and the bad
It’s an honest, funny, and heart-filled conversation about identity, change, and finding connection in the middle of motherhood.
💗 Pink Spotlight
Each week, we highlight a moment, product, or practice that’s bringing us joy:
✨ Christina: The Alix Earle iPhone light — it’s under $25 on Amazon and truly a must-have for any content creator. It clips right onto your iPhone, laptop, or iPad and makes a huge difference in low light. Alix Earle made it famous for a reason — it’s the best for nighttime photos or beauty videos.
✨ Kristina: Portofino ‘97 by Victoria Beckham — she hadn’t switched up her perfume in years, but after smelling this on a friend, she had to copy. It’s become her new signature scent — fresh, warm, and just so good.
✨ Maria: A family tradition that’s as heartwarming as it is simple — every night at dinner, her family shares the peak and the pit of their day. It’s a sweet ritual that gets everyone talking and keeps them connected.
