Okayest Moms: The Podcast
Okayest Moms: The Podcast is a community and podcast for modern moms hosted by Brittany and Heather. We believe in embracing imperfections, fostering inclusivity, and providing a safe space for unfiltered conversations about motherhood, self-care, reality TV, and more. We value humor and we celebrate the unique experiences and perspectives of moms from all walks of life, while normalizing imperfect motherhood. Join us as we navigate the joys and challenges of motherhood, celebrate the multi-faceted identities of moms, and empower each other to be more than *just* mom.

This episode is all about sleep and bedtime, the dreaded parenthood conundrum. We both have very unique child sleep situations. Sleep was a hot button for both of us because it was so hard when we were in the throes of dealing with it.
We polled our audience recently about their sleep stories, and the results we got made us feel so much better! It was so nice to know we weren't alone in the struggle.

Ashley Lytton was a typical mom and wife in suburban Utah with three children until she discovered her husband’s horrifying secret. It was a shocking crime that would alter Ashley’s life and jeopardize the safety of her children. This season of Betrayal will focus on one mother’s fight to find justice for her daughter and protection from a predator too close to home. Once we hear her story, we learn the same crime is happening every day in households all over the country. It’s a betrayal of our families, communities and everything we value in society. Season Two lays the issue bare through the family’s story and takes an honest look at a huge problem most people don’t want to even want to acknowledge.
