This week we dive into the bittersweet reality of parenting milestones. As any parent in the universe, we spend so much time looking forward to our kids' big moments—first words, crawling, wobbly first steps, potty training, and more—when they finally arrive, it can be a mix of excitement and some unexpected sadness- WHAT?! Let us explain….once they walk, they’ll never be a crawling baby again, and once they’re potty trained, that adorable puffy diaper butt is gone for good & you’ll find yourself somehow missing it. If you’ve ever been frustrated by the unsolicited negative “just waits” that get thrown your way in parenthood, this episode is for you. We talk about our favorite milestones, the ones that completely took us by surprise, and the heartstrings-tugging moments like that first morning dropping our kids off at school that make us wish we could just FREEZE TIME. Parenting isn’t always sunshine and rainbows, (sometimes it’s diaper blowouts and major sleep regressions) but when you see your kids reach big milestones knowing you played a big role in them getting there, it reminds us all what a privilege it is to be living this precious life with our kids!!! So, if you’re currently parenting with your head barely above water….just wait - it only gets better from here! FOLLOW US FOR MORE MOM FUN! | |||

| Ep. 44 S.O.S. What's Our Identity Outside of Motherhood!? | 03 Dec 2024 | 00:49:49 | |
In this week's ep, we dive deep into the often-overlooked journey of rediscovering your identity outside of motherhood. Every mother experiences this shift, and it can leave many feeling lost and disconnected from who we were before kids. We talk about the importance of self-reflection, exploring questions to help you uncover what you love, what you miss, and what you're ready to leave behind. We chat about practical ways for reconnecting with yourself and embracing your passions once again. So if you take anything away from this episode, we hope it is to encourage you to take a moment for yourself today—because no matter how much we adore our kids, motherhood doesn’t have to be the only thing that defines you.

| Ep. 52: It’s Our 1st Birthday! A Year in Review + The Biggest Lessons We’ve Learned in Motherhood | 25 Feb 2025 | 00:50:15 | |
Somehow, this podcast baby of ours is officially ONE, and if we’re being honest, it’s been the best kind of ‘mom therapy’. We’ve laughed, we’ve cried, we’ve had full-blown mom brain moments, and we wouldn’t change a thing. Over the past year, we’ve had real, unfiltered conversations about the ups and downs of motherhood, and today, we’re reflecting on the biggest lessons we’ve learned along the way. From the absolute necessity of a mom community to the reality that kids absorb everything—our energy, our words, our habits—it’s wild. We’re sharing what’s shaped us, challenged us, and helped us grow. And let’s not forget: It’s okay to not love every moment. We’re also looking back at some of the most impactful episodes of the year—the ones that made us think, gave us the best mom advice, and reminded us we’re definitely not alone in this. And we have to say it—we are obsessed with this MILF mom community. The fact that we get to show up here, have these conversations, and connect with so many incredible moms is something we don’t take for granted. This space has become more than just a podcast; it’s a place where we can all be real, support each other, and remind ourselves that we’re doing a great job. Whether you’ve been here since day one or just found us, we’re SO grateful for this community and can’t wait for what’s next. Here’s to another year of learning, growing, and figuring it all out together!! FOLLOW US FOR MORE MOM FUN! | |||

MOMS. We officially hit 100,000 downloads in less than a year!! (WHAT!) We are so beyond grateful for this community—for every single one of you who tunes in, laughs with us, sends in your stories, and shares the pod with your friends.

So, to celebrate, we’re bringing you an episode full of the funniest, most unhinged parenting moments — yours and ours. We’re talking public potty accidents, mid-flight meltdowns, getting stuck in a crib at 2 AM, and accidentally summoning first responders just for taking a mom nap. Yep, it’s that kind of episode. Plus, we play a ridiculous round of Would You Rather: Parenting Edition with some surprisingly hot takes. If you’ve ever had a parenting moment so bad you had to laugh (or cry), this one’s for you.
