The Mom Panel: Moms Gone Wild & Guilty Pleasures

Welcome to The Mom Panel, where we say the quiet mom thoughts out loud—and louder if we're cheering each other on!

In this episode, we dive headfirst into parenting chaos with zero filters and a lot of laughs. From body parts doing their own thing postpartum (such as lopsided boobs) to crunchy vs. silky mom styles, we navigate it all—mostly while wondering if our kids will ever taste raw milk straight from a cow. JK... but kinda. 

We touch on deep stuff too—cultural roots, body image, and the great outdoors vs. concrete jungle -- (my vote's for "the great indoors surrounded by a jungle!" *Ba-dum-tsh*. 

Think iced coffee with your best mom friends, but one of you brought Baileys. Yup, it's gonna be fun!

As for guilty pleasures? We proudly out ourselves as reality TV junkies and guilty confessions. And just when you think the chaos is winding down, Michelle drops a hilarious parenting lie she tells her kids to keep the peace. It’s so good, we’re not spoiling it here—you’ll have to listen to the end (trust us, it’s worth it).
