    Ep. 59 - Summer Plans, Summer House Scandals & Social Media Illusions

    We react to the explosive Summer House reunion and the conversation surrounding West and Amanda's relationship, then turn our attention to a modern phenomenon: people whose online personas don't quite match who they are in real life.

    Ep. 57- May-cember, The Met Gala & Vacation Recovery

    This week we’re talking about the absolute chaos that is the month of May for moms - school events, sports, concerts, field trips, and somehow still needing to function like normal humans. We also discuss why family vacations sometimes require a recovery vacation afterward, plus all the pop culture news currently taking over our group chats: Spencer Pratt running for mayor, Met Gala thoughts, Sydney Sweeney discourse, and The Devil Wears Prada 2.

    Ep. 56 - Meltdowns, Midnight Ballerinas, and Pet Peeves

    We kick things off by talking about the big, overwhelming feelings that come up in us as parents when our kids are mid-meltdown — because the tantrum is happening, but something is happening inside you too. Then we dive into Belle Burden's book Strangers and share our thoughts. Later, we get into the ever-escalating world of wedding party expectations — when did being a bridesmaid become a part-time job? We also have a conversation about "midnight ballerinas" and what that term actually means. And to close things out, Anna adds yet another entry to her legendary list of things she cannot stand - because the list is never truly finished!

    Ep. 55 - Mom Prom Recap!

    This week, we're recapping our night at the Mom Prom!! The looks, the laughs, and the memories. Then we dive into our thoughts on ACOTAR. We also go down a rabbit hole on Etsy Witches and then we chitchat about Nick Cannon and his ever-growing family tree.

    Ep. 54 - Girl Drama, Mom Takes & Why Being Present Is So Hard

    First, we dig into the Alix Earle vs. Alex Cooper drama that has finally boiled over to include the public. Then, Skims co-founder Emma Grede's "max three-hour mom" comments got the whole internet talking, and we're adding our voices to that conversation. It all leads somewhere personal though — because between the feuds and the hot takes, we find ourselves asking: how do you actually be present as a parent when you're stretched so thin? No easy answers, but plenty of honest ones.

    Ep. 53 - Putts, Planets & a Park Situation

    We're keeping it short and sweet this week, but there's plenty to talk about. Sahar and Anna unpack a potty-in-the-park mishap, share their takes on the Masters tournament, marvel at the Artemis II space mission and how it puts everything in perspective, and get a little nostalgic reflecting on what they always dreamed of being as kids. It's a cozy, catch-up kind of episode — grab a coffee and settle in.
