Tayla Burke

Welcome to The Milk- the podcast that pours it all out: the messy, the magical, & the mildly unhinged moments of motherhood and womanhood.

    Ep. 13 Your Baby Doesn’t Need That: Registry Edition (registry rules, things worth the splurge, & what's overhyped)

    It's baby registry building time!! I can't believe I'm already at the point of seriously prepping for this baby but here we are. This might be my 3rd rodeo, but planning for this episode was the perfect refresher for me. I feel like with everything we see on social media and all of the targeted ads that come our way, we start to believe we need all of the latest and greatest baby items we come across... I've come to realize that less is truly more. I wanted to find a way to make the 'building a baby registry' experience a simple, problem-solving game plan and share what actually earns space in your nursery and home. No more panic purchasing, buyers remorse, built up clutter, and things that end up in donation pile sooner than expected. In this episode, I whipped together 5 practical "zones" for building a registry" sleep, feeding, diapering, out-and-about gear, and soothing/play. I also share some questions I always ask myself before clicking purchase. We play a little game of Registry Court, where I vote Yes, No, or Maybe on types of baby products you've asked about (giving my honest opinion & experience!) I end the episode by sharing specific things I'll be doing to feel more prepared and at ease before we leave for the hospital (ie. the logistics & planning ahead for when we get home!). We turn the baby registry into a simple, problem-solving plan and share what actually earns space in your home. Clear rules, five practical zones, honest verdicts on trending gear, and a calm 72-hour homecoming plan make preparation feel doable and sane. More Of What I Discuss: • less-is-more rules to stop panic buys • buy for your life, not social media • five zones: sleep, feeding, diapering, out-and-about, soothing and play • where to invest and where to save • monitors, bouncers, warmers and pumps judged • smart dupes for carriers and play kits • a 72-hour plan for food, help and home setup • partner roles, visitor boundaries and tiny daily self-care LINKS!: Tayla's Baby Registry Link: CLICK HERE Mabe Baby Carrier 10%+ off with code TAYLAB CLICK HERE If you’re creating a baby registry from scratch or adding for baby number two or three, this guide helps you spend less, carry less, and feel more ready.

    Ep. 12 Trying to Conceive? Why A Man’s Role Matters More Than You Think With Sam Diamond, Founder of Bird&Be

    If the trying-to-conceive aisle has ever made you feel overwhelmed or alone, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. We sit down with Samantha Diamond—founder and CEO of Bird & Be—to unpack what it really takes to make fertility care clear, kind, and a shared journey between partners. Samantha opens up about an early PCOS diagnosis, a later miscarriage, and the isolation that followed—even with a fertility specialist at home. That lived experience led to a mission: bring the approachable clarity of beauty marketing to reproductive health without losing scientific rigor. We talk about the education gaps that leave women scrambling when it's time to "try", how integrative care blends medicine with lifestyle, and the specific red flags—like day-3 FSH and ovarian reserve changes—that should prompt a faster trip to the doctor. We also place men squarely in the frame. Sperm quality affects placental development, pregnancy health, and even childhood outcomes. Samantha shares clinical results from Bird & Be’s male supplement showing meaningful improvements in motility and morphology within three months, plus why sperm’s quick regeneration opens a powerful window for change. For the ladies, we dig into egg quality, oxidative stress, and the three-month folliculogenesis timeline, highlighting CoQ10, Mediterranean-style nutrition, sleep, and strength training—especially heavy lifting for PCOS—as key levers. If you’re ready to replace confusion with clarity and carry the load together, press play. If the conversation resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more listeners can find support. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Bird&Be GIVEAWAY!!
