, the hosts of A Splash More, Bailey Peyton (lifestyle creator; 188K+ followers) and co-host Hayley Spitaleri, a seasoned people-first professional with grounded insight are opening up about the parts of modern motherhood most women feel but rarely say out loud. Each week, they share candid, relatable conversations about parenting, confidence, identity, and the expectations women are up against.
1. Flipping Expectations of Motherhood
Hayley:
“The biggest expectation I’ve flipped is the idea that I’m supposed to do better than was done for me. So many of us walk into motherhood hoping to fix what hurt us, but that pressure steals the joy from actually being a mom. When I let go of trying to outperform the past, everything softened. I stopped chasing perfection and started focusing on being present, learning as I go, and loving my kids the way only I can.”
Bailey:
“I’ve challenged the expectation that all babies are ‘easy’ and openly shared how much it can shape your postpartum experience. Our first son was a very unhappy and challenging baby… With each milestone– crawling, walking, talking, we found more peace and joy. And with each step of his growing independence, I felt the weight of PPD lift a little more. I hope to let other parents know they are not alone.”
2. Confidence for Moms, Even When Life Is Messy
Bailey:
“Take the picture. Your children will want memories WITH you, and you’ll never regret capturing the imperfect moments. When it’s messy and when it’s hard, step into the frame anyway. Confidence blooms outside comfort zones, and your tiny humans learn by watching you show up, even when life isn’t neat or your body isn’t perfect.”
Hayley:
“You are the only mom your child will ever have, and they’re watching how you navigate the world. Show up as your most confident, authentic self, even when life feels messy, because the way you live teaches them how to be a human. Lead with courage, kindness, and self-respect, and they’ll grow into someone people want to be around.”
3. Navigating Career, Life Events, and Motherhood
Hayley:
“The real turning point for me came after a series of intense life events… Getting back into corporate proved difficult, and then everything shifted again: my brother passed away while I was eight weeks pregnant with my second child. Those moments were devastating, but they sharpened my perspective. They made me rethink how I spend my time, who I spend it with, and what kind of work truly matters.”
Bailey:
“Rising from the heaviness of PPD after my first son and consciously choosing to welcome a second required letting go of old guilt to make room for new joy. Through that journey, I realized I could embrace motherhood without losing myself in the process. Trying to do it all flawlessly only distances you from both roles. By creating flexible boundaries in work and motherhood, I’ve learned to live with a gentler, lighter mental load.”
