From first-day-of-school signs for seniors to balloons for a lost tooth, have we turned every basic milestone into a celebration? Are we focusing on the wrong parts of child-rearing, setting kids up for disappointment when real life doesn't clap for them?
Caroline and Eva dive into their own parenting styles and ask: are we raising children for their growth, or to soothe our own egos and fears? What’s the true end goal and are we on track?

We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.
We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one! If you need a laugh, a cry, or just want to hear someone else admit their flaws and validate your crazy, you’re in the right place. Be ready to be… Unfiltered, Unafraid, and UnExpert.
