They revisit the wide range of conversations and topics that made up the 32 episodes and 19 minisodes to highlight their top moments from each season. Turns out, there’s a lot that Meghan & Abi love about creating and hosting this show.

Abi & Meghan also interview each other to see how each of them feel about different parts of the GM experience, including a rapid fire Q&A round. They round out this final episode by reflecting on the things they’ve learned, the things they’re still learning, and the things they will keep learning after three seasons of heartfelt, meaningful conversations with each other, their guests, and the Gaining Mom-entum community. Thank you for joining us! Please take care of yourself, take care of each other, and continue to get comfortable being uncomfortable while we do our best to raise our kids for the world we want them to grow up in and the world we live in now.

Season 3 · Episode 10

Thursday, February 3, 2022 • Duration 54:07

Welcome back to another episode of Gaining Mom-entum! Meghan & Abi catch up on what they’re watching, playing, and listening to with their families these days. (Hint: They do talk about Bruno.)

This week’s topic - educational entertainment - finds Abi & Meghan having two conversations with two talented, engaging creators of children’s content. Up first, they speak to Michael Moore, the creator, animator, and narrator of the popular children’s video series, Brain Candy TV. He shares how he got started creating Brain Candy TV, the skillset he needed to acquire to make Brain Candy TV happen, and helping children become ready for the things they’ll learn in school through his videos. Meghan & Abi share how their children incorporate what they’ve learned into their pretend play. Michael lets them in on what he likes most about making Brain Candy TV, the seriousness with which he takes the responsibility of the impact his videos have on kids, as well as the challenges. He also discusses his plans to expand the STEM video offerings that are part of the Brain Candy TV archives and reflects on some of his favourite feedback, complete with a little cameo from Abi’s child.

The second half of the episode features Meghan & Abi’s conversation with children’s book author, Monique Perreira. Monique shares her process for how she came to write and publish the bilingual children’s book, Mirai Montre et Raconte Show and Tell, as well as giving many well-deserved shout outs to her illustrator, Chantal Piché. She discusses the decision-making that went into making Mirai a bilingual book, how her love of children’s books began as a young adult and the great inspiration that is Robert Munsch. Monique shares her challenges, joys, and the feedback she’s received as well as the children’s health series that she’s working on next.

Gaining Mom-entum on Anger & Frustration: How Does It Feel?

Season 3 · Episode 9

Thursday, January 20, 2022 • Duration 46:17

Welcome back to Gaining Mom-entum! This week, Meghan & Abi start the episode off talking about the recent losses of three celebrities who played formative roles in their upbringings - Betty White, Sidney Poitier, and Bob Saget. Then they segue into this week’s topic - anger and frustration. They start with some definitions clarifying the differences between anger and frustration before exploring their own relationships with both of those feelings and how they’ve been exacerbated by the pandemic. They look back at their childhood expressions of anger and frustration and what those expressions look like for them now as parents. They reframe how we look at healthy expressions of anger but are clear that manifesting anger in a hurtful way is never to be condoned. They talk about burnout, their anger and frustration triggers, recognizing escalating emotions, as well as outdated gender roles in expressions of anger and racist stereotypes that affect how Abi expresses anger and parents about anger. They also discuss how they strive to find positive things to do with their anger so that expressing it can become a point of pride.

Minisode: Best of Intentions

Season 3

Thursday, December 9, 2021 • Duration 08:47

Welcome back to Gaining Mom-entum! This is the first minisode of season 3 and the last pod drop before 2022 so Meghan & Abi are getting reflective. They spend this minisode discussing the intentions they laid out for the year and how they think they’re doing with them. Meghan’s intentions are to not let fear and self-consciousness be her driver, to be intentional with her time, and to practice patience. Abi’s intentions are to practice patience, keep getting comfortable being uncomfortable, and to spend more time nurturing the relationships in her life. As it goes with intentions, these continue to be a work in progress but it’s all about the journey, not the destination, right? Best wishes and be safe as we close out 2021 and ring in 2022, Gaining Mom-entum community! We’ll be back with a new episode on Thursday, January 6, 2022.

Gaining Mom-entum on Fatherhood: Love, Learning, & Acceptance

Season 3 · Episode 7

Thursday, November 25, 2021 • Duration 01:00:36

Welcome back to Gaining Mom-entum! This week, Abi & Meghan sat down with two of Abi’s long-time friends, Patrick & Thad, to discuss fatherhood. (Note: Thad & Patrick are both cis-gendered males who are married to women.) They both identify as fathers/parents and work as educators. They came into the conversation ready to share and be vulnerable for which Meghan & Abi are grateful. Patrick & Thad share what the term fatherhood means to each of them which leads to a conversation on gendered parenting roles and if there are distinguishing characteristics between a great mother, a great father, and a great parent. They discuss how they parent with their partners and how they try to parent based more on each person’s strengths than defined roles. No parenting conversation would be complete without looking back at one’s own childhood, so they delve a bit into how their fathers, conversations with their fathers, and ideas around fatherhood have shaped the way they parent today. Thad shares his perspective about fatherhood lessons as someone who was adopted and whose biological parents found him in his mid-30s. They discuss sharing their emotions, being affectionate, expressing love to their children, and masculinity. Patrick shares how he is seeing so much more acceptance among the high school students he teaches now than when he was a high school student, but wonders if shifting expectations of gender roles are seen by parents who do not work in the education system. They discuss unlearning gendered ways of being and talking to friends about parenting. The group finishes the convo with Patrick and Thad sharing how they knew they wanted to become parents and what it is they hope their children will say about them when they’re adults.

Gaining Mom-entum on Bullying: Kids, Power, & Peer Relationships

Season 3 · Episode 6

Thursday, November 11, 2021 • Duration 56:54

Welcome back to Gaining Mom-entum! Meghan & Abi start off the halfway point of this third podcast season going over community feedback from their body image episode and discussing this season’s theme of intentionality. Then they get into this episode’s topic - bullying. Meghan shares insights from her professional background working in bullying awareness and prevention. They discuss what they think bullying looks like and the misuse/abuse of power, and the impact of those actions. Abi & Meghan delve into their childhood memories of how bullying was talked about, the stereotypes associated with it, including gendered terminology. A lot of the conversation circles back to the idea of the language we use to describe behaviours and people. They discuss why they think children engage in bullying behaviour and how issues like bullying are often viewed in terms of an individual’s deviance, instead of as a larger systemic issue, and what needs to be looked at in learning about bullying behaviour. Of course, they get into the social media of it all! They round out the convo with how they talk to their kids about peer relationships and the importance they place on having an open conversation approach in their homes.

Gaining Mom-entum on Body Talk & Body Image: The Journey Continues

Season 3 · Episode 5

Thursday, October 28, 2021 • Duration 54:24

Welcome back to Gaining Mom-entum! Join Abi & Meghan as they check-in with each other about their current self-care activities, including taking a journey down the rabbit hole that is S Club 7. Once they’re done naming all 7 members of the group, they get into the episode’s topic - body talk and body image. They begin by talking about their childhood memories and the messaging they took in around bodies and beauty standards. They unpack how they want to counter that messaging with their children. They chat about how being athletes has affected their relationships to their bodies over time which leads them to talk about how they related to their bodies both during and after their pregnancies. They discuss the idea of body neutrality, how each of them talks to their kids about bodies, and how they deal with their children receiving external messaging about bodies and beauty. Meghan & Abi wrap up their conversation with what they hope their children will learn from them about their bodies and how they perceive them.
