    Ep. 8: Terminally Pregnant and Over It

    Ashley is 38 weeks pregnant and she's pissed. From blazing heatwaves and dog pee disasters to the emotional rollercoaster of thinking every physical symptom is a sign of labor - this is the reality of the end of pregnancy. And hey, if you're also at the end of pregnancy having the same crazy thoughts - welcome to the club.

Halfway through the episode the girls read through some Reddit stories and give their takes.

    Ep. 3: Boundaries

    Boundaries. When should you start setting them? When should you hold firm and when to compromise? And how the heck do you respond when people ask you crazy questions about your kid or insist on kissing your baby? Ashley and Hannah dive into it all, and reveal that there is a grizzly bear inside all of us, but you don't need to let the bear attack sintantly all the time (...but sometimes you do).
