  • Failing Forward – Why Failure Might Be Your Greatest Asset
    May 7 2025

    In Episode 16, host Kallie and the crew get candid about failing forward—what it means, why it matters, and how to reframe our relationship with failure. From viral underwear ads and the Dunning-Kruger effect to forgotten lip stains and botched job interviews, this conversation explores how we stumble, what we learn, and how to model resilience for our kids.

    We dive into the gender gap in confidence, especially in how women approach risk, perfectionism, and the fear of public failure. Charlotte unpacks how burnout and rejection redirected her to a life she loves, while Kallie shares how a "dream house fail" ended up being a blessing in disguise. Caitlin reminds us that sometimes the only way forward is to be willing to "suck" at something until you get better.

    Plus, a special chat with Erica Ligenza of Coming Up Roses and the THRIVE Podcast, where she opens up about her own recipe mishaps, personal growth, and her favorite mantra: “We can do hard things.”

    We close out the show with our signature Pits and Peaks segment—because even in a week full of messes, there’s always something to celebrate.

    Motherhood isn't just one job—it's dozens, and on Episode 15 of the podcast, host Megan and the mom squad are talking all about it!

    You'll hear stories about handling the mental load, dealing with guilt, and the invisible labor of motherhood—and you'll leave with real strategies for setting boundaries and finding joy amidst the chaos. Plus, special guest Samantha Yanks, cofounder of The Connecticut Edit, shares how she balances her many roles with grace and purpose.

    Pits and Peaks wrap up the show with everything from tech hacks to Broadway adventures.

  • Accepting Your Body Post Kids
    Apr 23 2025

    In this heartfelt and hilariously honest episode, Caitlin and the crew (Megan, Kallie, and Charlotte) dive deep into the complexities of body image after having kids. From the emotional rollercoaster of feeling like a stranger in your own skin to learning how to appreciate your body for the miracles it’s performed, the moms share raw personal stories, honest reflections, and the real struggles of postpartum self-acceptance.

    We’re also joined by special guest Katy Fassett, a stay-at-home mom and motherhood advocate, who brings insight into finding beauty in the “after” and embracing the now.

    But first—what’s with all the wildly inappropriate lyrics in our favorite songs? From Taylor Swift to Lady Gaga’s “disco stick,” the moms break down the music their toddlers are (accidentally) singing. Plus: a round of Mom Fails, some surprising postpartum stats, and a candid conversation about wrinkles, wardrobes, and the pressure to “bounce back.”

    This episode is a reminder that two truths can coexist: you can be proud of what your body has done and still struggle with how it looks. Let’s talk about it.
