]]> Leah Van Dale leahvandale@gmail.com Who Am I If I'm Not Carmella? In this episode of Hot Mom Shit, I'm getting real about something I've been quietly carrying for three years: the complete unraveling of my identity. It started with a single observation from my couples therapist — that somewhere in the middle of miscarriages, pregnancies, postpartum, and two kids under two, nobody stopped to acknowledge what I had actually lost. My career. My income. My sense of self. The woman the world knew as Carmella — 12 years under contract with WWE, traveling the world, performing in front of thousands — walked away from all of it. And then became a mom. And then did it again. That's not one identity shift. That's three. All at once. And this episode is the first time I'm really saying that out loud. In this episode I chat about: What my therapist said that stopped me in my tracks 12 years as Carmella — what it gave me and what it cost me Two miscarriages, an ectopic pregnancy, and the limbo of trying to become a mom while still under contract The moment my WWE contract expired and what the finality of that felt like Going from five nights a week on the road to never leaving the house What it means to lose your financial independence — and why it's not about the purse My mom's story and why it matters What I want for myself that I couldn't name yet The Snatch community — why I built it and who it's for This one goes deep. But it ends with something that feels like the beginning of something. Join the Snatch community to get first access to new episodes, behind the scenes content and so much more.

It started with a single observation from my couples therapist — that somewhere in the middle of miscarriages, pregnancies, postpartum, and two kids under two, nobody stopped to acknowledge what I had actually lost. My career. My income. My sense of self.

The woman the world knew as Carmella — 12 years under contract with WWE, traveling the world, performing in front of thousands — walked away from all of it. And then became a mom. And then did it again.

That's not one identity shift. That's three. All at once. And this episode is the first time I'm really saying that out loud.

In this episode I chat about:

  • What my therapist said that stopped me in my tracks

  • 12 years as Carmella — what it gave me and what it cost me

  • Two miscarriages, an ectopic pregnancy, and the limbo of trying to become a mom while still under contract

  • The moment my WWE contract expired and what the finality of that felt like

  • Going from five nights a week on the road to never leaving the house

  • What it means to lose your financial independence — and why it's not about the purse

  • My mom's story and why it matters

  • What I want for myself that I couldn't name yet

  • The Snatch community — why I built it and who it's for

This one goes deep. But it ends with something that feels like the beginning of something.

]]> 1034 yes Three Months Postpartum and My Husband Did What!? Welcome to Hot Mom Sh!t — my podcast where nothing is perfectly curated and everything is real. In this first episode I am introducing the philosophy at the heart of this show: living in the and. I can love my kids fiercely and need a break from them. I can love my husband and also want to lose my mind sometimes. I can be a devoted mom and have absolutely no idea who I am outside of that role. Both things. At the same time. That is what we are doing here. I kick things off with a story that perfectly captures everything this podcast is about: the moment my husband accidentally connected his phone to the Bluetooth speaker in our home gym while my trainer was there. Three months postpartum, running on zero sleep, trying to do one good thing for myself that day — and that happened. What followed was one of the most honest conversations Matt and I have ever had, standing on the stairs in the middle of our stairwell, neither of us sitting down, both of us finally saying the thing. In this episode I cover: What "Hot Mom Shit" actually means (hint: it's not about thinking you're hot) Why women are constantly forced into one box — mom, career woman, wife — and why that's exhausting The "and" philosophy: two opposing truths can exist at the same time Why I started this podcast instead of a newsletter (sorry, newsletters) The porn/Bluetooth/trainer story in full Postpartum, body image, and not feeling like yourself What a real marriage conversation actually looks like Links: Follow me on Instagram: @theleahvandale Join the Snatch community: snatch.co Follow Snatch on Instagram: @snatchforher  Fri, 08 May 2026 10:00:00 -0000 full Leah Van Dale Welcome to Hot Mom Sh!t — my podcast where nothing is perfectly curated and everything is real.
