    19 l Mama’s Takes: Stories From Your Two Best Mom Friends l Instagram Live
    Oct 20 2023
    Listen in to our Instagram live where we speak about a few stories we had sent in! Ever been mistaken for the babysitter of your own child based on appearance? We've certainly been there and it sparked a powerful conversation on the unnecessary assumptions about a mother-child relationship. Join us as we share that story, challenge societal norms, and discuss why it’s unnecessary to prove someone's relationship with their child through a photo. We dig into this sensitive topic, inviting all mamas and friends to approach conversations about parenting with an open mind and a supportive attitude.

    Remember the time when we were asked if we were 'new to this parenting thing' based on how we handled our kids? Well, that inspired a whole segment in our podcast on the balancing act of opinions and boundaries in parenthood. Listen in as we dive into the unsaid rules of commenting on someone else’s parenting style - should we interject or follow a 'stop and think' process before engaging? Get ready to find empowerment in setting boundaries to secure your peace of mind.

    Finally, we share a story of a mom shamed for her choices in feeding and childcare, highlighting the constant tug of war mothers face while trying to make the best decisions for their families amidst profound external judgment. Nod along as we empathize with the exhaustion of motherhood and the importance of seeking support. We'll also discuss how to navigate unsolicited opinions and set boundaries with respect. So, tune in for a hearty chat with us as we lend a supportive hand to all the moms out there dealing with mom shaming and struggling to assert their parenting decisions.

    17 l Societal Expectations and the Pressure to be the Perfect Mom
    Oct 6 2023

    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.
