  • In-Laws, Boundaries, and Breastmilk: Grab Bag Solo Episode
    May 21 2025

    Send us a text

    In this grab bag episode of topics, I'm taking you on a rollercoaster ride of all my inner thoughts:

    • Boundaries with in-laws (I have some hot takes that might piss you off)
    • In the body positive movement, no one should shame you for wanting to lose weight
    • Saying no to business travel at the moment
    • How disappointing people sucks but you have to do it sometimes
    • Spicy thoughts around The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives (we all need a little pop culture therapy, okay?)
    • ...and other things!

    If you're a new mom, toddler mom, or just a woman figuring out how to juggle it all, this episode is your reminder that you’re not alone.

    PS. Check out my episode on my other podcast, Can I Be Honest, all about marriage and relationships!

    May 1 2025

    Send us a text

    I’m keeping it real about life with a toddler in this audio journal style solo episode. My 17-month-old daughter has officially entered her villain era, and I’m feeling all the challenges of the baby-to-toddler transition. Tantrums, power struggles, the emotional rollercoaster of weaning, I’m talking about why this baby/toddler stage feels SO HARD!

    If you’re a new mom navigating toddlerhood and just trying to survive the chaos, this episode is for you. Tune in for an honest, unfiltered take on motherhood and learning to love (OR NOT LOVE) this messy, wild, unpredictable season.

  • I Hate My Dogs After Becoming A Mom...And Other Things I'm Not Supposed to Say
    Apr 23 2025

    Send us a text

    This episode is a voice note-style vent sesh from one mom to another. I’m sharing the unfiltered truths I never thought I’d say out loud:

    • I resent my dogs after becoming a mom (hello, postpartum rage!)
    • I want to quit breastfeeding cold turkey (breastfeeding burnout!)
    • I went from in-law drama to actually having a healthy relationship with them (yes, it’s possible!).

    Whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, rage-cleaning, or hiding in your car for five minutes of peace — this one’s for you.
