That Twin Mama Podcast

In this episode of That Twin Mama Podcast, Lauren Berty reflects on her time aboard the Disney Destiny — a sailing that became a powerful reminder of what it feels like when representation is intentional, authentic, and fully woven into the experience from the very beginning. This isn’t a traditional Disney cruise review. It’s an honest conversation about Black joy, identity, motherhood, and how thoughtful storytelling can create spaces where Black families feel deeply seen — while also inviting everyone into richer, more meaningful experiences. Through conversations with Yolanda Cade, Vice President of Communications & Public Affairs for Disney Signature Experiences, and Corey J. Bradford, the actor portraying Hercules aboard Disney Destiny, Lauren explores how Black voices, culture, and excellence were intentionally embedded across entertainment, music, design, and service — not as a theme night or spotlight moment, but as an integral part of the ship’s soul.This episode is for parents raising children who deserve to see themselves reflected with power and pride, families navigating multiple generations together, moms rediscovering themselves beyond survival mode, and anyone who believes that inclusive storytelling doesn’t divide — it deepens the magic for everyone.In this episode, we explore:• How Black storytelling aboard Disney Destiny was intentionally designed, not added on• Why representation feels different when it’s authentic and deeply integrated• Seeing Black excellence reflected in Disney stories — from Pride Lands to Hercules• What it means for children to see themselves as heroes on the biggest stages• How inclusive design creates joy across generations• Why Disney Destiny felt like rest, healing, and affirmation — not just entertainment• The role storytelling plays in helping moms and families reconnect with themselves• Why spaces that honor culture make experiences richer for all guestsTags / Keywords#ThatTwinMama #DisneyDestiny #BlackExcellenceDisney Destiny, Disney Cruise Line, Black representation, inclusive storytelling, Disney Hercules, Pride Lands Disney, Disney cruise with kids, Black motherhood, family travel with kids, parenting podcast, motherhood podcast, generational travel, mom mental load, healing for moms, inclusive family experiences, Disney storytelling, That Twin Mama PodcastAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

What happens when a family vacation becomes something much deeper?In this episode of That Twin Mama, Lauren reflects on a Disney Destiny cruise experience that unexpectedly became a moment of rest, gratitude, and reconnection after a challenging year. Rather than a traditional travel recap, this conversation explores parenting, mental load, generational joy, and what it feels like to finally be supported as a mom.Through candid conversations with her husband, her mother-in-law, and Disney hospitality and culinary leaders, Lauren shares how intentional design, thoughtful service, and family-first spaces allowed both parents and kids to truly enjoy the experience without rushing, apologizing, or managing every detail.This episode is for parents who feel tired, overwhelmed, or unsure whether real rest is even possible while traveling with kids, and for anyone navigating a season where joy feels hard to access.In this episode, we explore:• Why this Disney cruise felt like rest instead of “parenting in a different location”• How Disney Destiny is intentionally designed for families• Parenting, partnership, and reconnecting as a couple• The power of shared experiences across generations• Why reducing the mental load for moms matters• Practical Disney cruise tips for families• How food, service, and storytelling shape the experience• Choosing joy after a hard year, even when life isn’t perfectChapters / Timestamps00:00 Choosing Joy After a Hard Year02:40 Why This Cruise Felt Different07:50 Experiencing Disney Across Generations14:00 Traveling With Kids Without Burnout18:45 Food, Allergies & Family-Friendly Dining22:30 When Parents Finally Feel SupportedThis episode isn’t a travel guide - it’s a reflection on parenting, presence, and choosing joy when life feels heavy.If this episode resonated with you, please let us know your favorite part - we’d love to hear what stood out!

In this season 2 finale, Lauren takes you to Twinsburg, Ohio — home of the largest twins festival in the world. With over 2,500 twins in attendance for its 50th anniversary, Twins Days Fest is a celebration of connection, individuality, and the unique dynamics only twins (and twin parents) truly understand.From laugh-out-loud twin telepathy myths to deeply moving personal stories, Lauren chats with identical, fraternal, boy/girl twins, and even a pair navigating a gender transition — uncovering what they love about being twins, what they wish others knew, and the advice they have for parents raising multiples.In This Episode, You’ll Hear:The wildest (and weirdest) questions twins get from strangers.Birth stories told from the twins’ own perspective — including one you’ll never forget.Whether birth order really matters… and why some parents keep it a secret.Heartfelt debates on school separation: when it helps, when it hurts, and why it sticks with twins for life.The heavy weight of constant comparisons — and how gender plays into it.Boy/girl twin dynamics vs. identical twin bonds.A powerful conversation with twins navigating a gender transition together.Dating as a twin: why your relationship with your twin sibling is a non-negotiable.The top advice seasoned twins wish parents of multiples would follow.Why You’ll Love It:This episode is equal parts hilarious, emotional, and eye-opening — whether you’re raising twins, are a twin yourself, or just love people-watching at big family-style events. Lauren wraps Season 2 with a full-circle moment, starting the season with her own twin birth story and ending surrounded by a sea of twins who feel like extended family.Resources & Links Mentioned:🛍 Shop That Twin Mama merch (the “Mom of Twins” jersey featured in the video will be coming soon!): https://thattwinmama.store/ Follow That Twin Mama Podcast on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thattwinmamapodcast/Follow Lauren on socials https://www.instagram.com/thattwinmama_/ https://www.tiktok.com/@thattwinmama_ Learn more about Twins Days Fest: https://twinsdays.org/Thanks to our new twin friends:Hafsteinn & Kristjan https://www.instagram.com/hafsteinnvaldimarsson/https://www.instagram.com/kristjanvald/?hl=en Cassidy & Caitlyn (and Renly & Evelyn, too!)https://www.instagram.com/cassidycherry/?hl=en Mike & Michellehttps://www.instagram.com/prettydimples_32/https://www.instagram.com/michaeladdison1/Renee & Deshayhttps://www.instagram.com/renee_cottrell/https://www.instagram.com/ebonyshay99/Fallon & Farrellhttps://www.facebook.com/beingfandfhttps://www.tiktok.com/@beingfandfhttps://www.youtube.com/@BeingFFPodcast Tawanna & Tonyahttps://www.instagram.com/them_damn_twinz/ Brooke & BethTony & AdrienneMonica & GitaKeith & KevinDina & GinaSeason Note:That’s a wrap on Season 2!

Motherhood changes everything—your body, your boundaries, your belief in yourself. This week I sat down with my wildly talented friend Daniella Rabbani — actor, creator, mom of two, and host of Mom Curious. In this episode, we have a raw and layered conversation about what it means to come undone in motherhood… and then slowly, steadily, put yourself back together again.Daniella opens up about filming Oceans 8 while eight months pregnant (yes, she opens the movie with Sandra Bullock!), finding her voice in both motherhood and creativity, and navigating the deep work of raising kids while healing herself. We talk gentle parenting, mom rage, generational patterns, and why sometimes the most radical thing we can do is say, “I don’t know—but I’m showing up anyway.”We get into:Why her firstborn “opened the matrix” for her—and what shifted with her daughterBreaking generational cycles without breaking yourselfGentle parenting vs. actually parenting—what happens when the kids don’t listen?Why our kids chose us (and what that means for how we show up)“Parenting teaches you more about yourself than anything else. Sometimes I like what I see, sometimes I don’t.
