I. D. K. The three most dreaded letters in the alphabet for Moms everywhere.
There’s nothing more conversation halting than the “I don’t know” response when you ask your kids what they learned, how their day was, what they want to eat… anything. We’re not sure if it’s some kind of kid code or what, but we know it’s definitely not helping us have open and honest conversations that give us insight into their lives and potential stru...

Here’s why we love the 40 hour work week: Everything you do while you’re on (or off) the clock for work is financially rewarded… right?
Laughing. Out. Loud!! No matter if you’re currently working full time or the last ”official” job you held was in high school (SAHMs we see you!!) we know that the effort you put forth at work each day is not always rewarded financially or at all (again, SAHMs, we see you!). If that’s the reality o...

If we’ve said it once we’ve said it a thousand times, being a Mom is like living life in a pressure cooker.
Okay, we’ve never actually said that but we’re saying it today, and we mean it! Being a Mom comes with a lot of joy and happiness… and stress and worry and self-doubt and pressure and… the list goes on and on. If you feel like you’re in a funk lately (or ever) - like you just can't do anything right or enjoy things that norm...

What’s YOUR number one priority? If you’ve listed off your top five and you still haven’t mentioned yourself… welcome to motherhood.
We get it - with the constantly revolving door of activities, social engagements, food making, errand running, and just existing, it is EASY to prioritize everyone and everyTHING else before yourself. And we’re here today, with the help of our incredible guest Nithya Karia, to tell you to stop that!...

So you’ve been listening to our podcast for awhile now. It’s actually been so long that you’re afraid to ask… what the heck IS Mom guilt?!
It’s that pit in your stomach you get when you’re headed for a weekend away with your girlfriends and feel like you need to meal prep for your entire family so they don’t starve to death while you’re gone (that’s not going to happen - fyi). Or the constant messaging from the world to be gratefu...

Oh that precious moment when you welcome your daughter into the world. It’s full of so many emotions: joy, love, and excitement about all the bows you can put in her hair (if that’s your thing). But then there’s the inevitable and uninvited comment from a family member or sometimes the random stranger in the grocery store: “What a sweet little bundle! But just WAIT until she’s a teenager!”
Insert. Eyeroll. Here. We’re done default...

Unpopular opinion: Sometimes, the gifts we get on Mother’s Day are more work than they’re worth.
Mother’s Day is right around the corner. That’s right people - gear up for breakfast in bed and the crumbs/spilled orange juice you’ll probably have to clean up for yourself after you eat it. Sometimes the gifts we get are well intentioned but… miss the mark. A massage is ah-mazing, but who is going to watch the kids or pick them up fr...

Let’s hear it for apple sauce pouches and a side of… guilt?
We’re sure we don’t have to tell you that social media is PACKED with videos of Moms making some seriously deluxe meals for their kids from scratch, on the daily. Don’t even get us started on the Bentgo lunch box videos. While impressive, these videos can create a LOT of stress, worry, and guilt for those of us who don’t find joy in making meals or just enjoy handing our ...

Picture this: You go to the gym in your free time (LOL) and see a very athletic human maxing out because it’s #LegDay. They’ve got a CRAZY amount of weight on their squat bar and yet they ask for more because, well, they think they can handle it. Now, imagine if all of that weight was to do lists, errands to run, events to get to, things to sign up for, after school activities, and more. That, my friends, is the mental load of moth...

It’s become the most dreaded question at your child's annual checkup: how much screentime does your child get in a day? If you’re like us, you may have lied about it in the past to feel like you’re “not a bad Mom”. We’re here to tell you: not only are you not a bad Mom, but the pressures surrounding screentime for kids are RIDICULOUS.
That’s right, unpopular opinion today - we are OVER IT! Although a relatively new term in the wor...

Once upon a time we got a one-star review. It was about our Happy Mom Summit and we don’t want to talk about it…Except we do.
No, we really, REALLY do. And here’s why: That one-star review unearthed a whole truckload of content to talk about with our therapists (and listeners). We’re talking all about our reaction to criticism and how being people pleasers by nature makes this a difficult thing to manage. Many of us put ourselves ...

Some people say that running a home with children is like running a Fortune 100 Company… and those people are Moms.
Too often the distribution of responsibilities at home falls primarily to Mom, regardless of if she stays home, works part-time, or works full-time. One thing is certain: when Mom handles all the things at home, she’s always working OVERTIME. Enter our guest today: Zach Watson! He’s a self-proclaimed “recovering manc...

The Perfect Mom… LOL!!!!
There is a LOT of pressure on Moms today. From the Insta-perfect stay at home Moms who make raising their seven children and making their sourdough loaf look easy breezy to the working Mamas who are hustling at all hours, we’ve had a whole lot of expectations added to our already full plates since the housewife days of the 1950s. Our guest, Erica Djossa, is here today to talk about the mental load of mothe...

MYTH BUSTERS! Mom Edition.
Today, we’re tackling a particularly harmful Mom Myth: That the future success of your children depends on how much one-on-one time you, as a Mom, spend with them. Newsflash: THAT IS NOT TRUE. Yes, one-on-one time with your kids is amazing, don’t get us wrong, but sometimes, it’s literally not possible. Here’s what IS possible AND beneficial to your children: spending authentic, quality time together, ma...

Life moves FAST, especially with kids. Someone is always in need of a snack, a signature, homework help, and more snacks. It’s easy to get in a tizzy when you feel like you’re always going, going, going. But have you ever wondered what would happen if you just chilled the heck out?

Usher once said “Gotta let it burn”. Normally, we support Usher all the way, but when it comes to motherhood, letting it burn is a TERRIBLE idea.
