The podcast for the Moms who do it all. We are two Business Women and two Friends bringing you Real-Talk on all things Motherhood, Entrepreneurship and all the things we love, in between. We are finally taking a seat to talk about it all. Each episode dives into the chaos of motherhood, relationships, work, and self-discovery through honesty and humour. Whether it's tackling mom guilt, sharing the weeks wildest stories, sharing the platform with our mom friends, or just laughing through the exhaustion, "I Just Sat Down" is a reminder that you're not alone and sometimes sitting down is exactly where the healing (and laughter) begins. So grab your coffee, sink into the couch, or fold your laundry (if you must), and join us for truthful chats, relatable chuckles, and the occasional deep sigh, because we all know what's it like to finally sit down, just to be asked for another drink or an ice pack. Thank you for being here! Love, Krystal and Desi

    Love in Little Moments

    Episode 46: Love in the Little Moments Motherhood isn’t measured by perfect days, it’s built in the little moments. In this episode of I Just Sat Down, we’re talking about what it really means to be present with our kids in a world that constantly pulls us in different directions.

We’re sharing honest conversations about: Why quality matters more than quantity.Giving yourself grace when motherhood doesn’t look “perfect.”Finding connection in the ordinary moments.Being intentional with your time instead of chasing perfection.Simple ways to create meaningful memories with your children. If you’ve ever ended the day wondering if you did enough, this episode is your reminder that your love is often found in the smallest moments: a bedtime cuddle, a five-minute conversation, or simply putting your phone down and being present.

    It Takes a Village… But What If You Don’t Have One?

    We’ve all heard the phrase, “It takes a village to raise a child.” But what happens when that village doesn’t exist, or at least not in the way we hoped it would? In this episode, we explore the reality of parenting without the support system many of us expected to have. Whether you’re raising children far from family, navigating strained relationships, doing it mostly on your own, or simply feeling unsupported in the day-to-day demands of motherhood, this conversation is for you. We discuss: • The grief of not having the village you imagined • Why so many modern mothers feel isolated • Letting go of unrealistic expectations of family and friends • Building community in unconventional ways • How to become part of your own village • Practical ways to create connection and reduce isolation If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying the weight of parenting alone, this episode serves as a reminder that you’re not the only one—and that support can sometimes be built in places we least expect. 🎙️ Listen now and join the conversation. Because motherhood was never meant to be done in isolation. NEW Episodes of 'I Just Sat Down' will be released every Monday at 10am EST.
