    Hosts (Felicia and Bri) take on the tough topic of societal expectations placed on mothers. Ever felt like you're running a losing race trying to live up to the image of the so-called 'perfect' mom? We've been there too. Using our personal experiences with a myriad of societal influences, we tackle the guilt and stress that arises from these pressures. No magic one-size-fits-all solution here; we just share our journey through the maze of information and how we're learning to do what works best for our homes, despite external pressures.

    Navigating the tricky terrain of parenting advice is no easy task. Has someone ever made you feel inadequate with their 'well-intentioned' advice? We examine the dynamics of giving and receiving parenting advice, taking into account the intentions behind the advice and the relationship between those involved. We go a step further by suggesting a novel approach - asking permission before offering advice - a simple but impactful change that can foster more open and respectful parenting discussions.

    Whether you are a new mom grappling with the overwhelming sea of responsibilities or a veteran parent seeking validation, this episode promises to be an enlightening journey. So, sit back and get ready for an honest discussion about the beautiful mess that is motherhood.
