    Bathing Suits, Babysitters on Vacation & Why I’m Not Traveling Until Middle School

    Bathing suit ads lie. Full stop.This episode spirals (naturally) from why models don’t need to be “sucked in,” to chasing kids at the beach in what feels like a wetsuit, to the universal fear of a rogue boob escaping mid-movement. There’s twerking (yes), vacation delusion, and the harsh reality that traveling with kids is just parenting… somewhere hotter. We get into wanting to move wherever you vacation, why hiring a babysitter on vacation feels illegal, the fantasy of a Florida podcast house (think Hype House but moms and emotional exhaustion), and Brittany officially announcing she’s not traveling again until the kids are in middle school. Also covered:– No kids at weddings (we said what we said)– Not sleeping when you’re away from your kids– Putting life on hold until the anxiety of XYZ passes– Clothing rental for work trips (hello, Nuuly)– And how bathing suits were simply not designed for moms who move It’s funny, honest, mildly unhinged, and painfully relatable. 👉 Follow us on Instagram:@funnyinthefire@brittanyfindsthefunny@regardingkatie_ 📩 Email us: funnyinthefire@gmail.com If you’ve ever packed for a trip and immediately wanted to cancel it—this one’s for you.

    Gobble Gobble Neck, Toddler Tantrums & Spiraling With Purpose

    In this episode of Funny in the Fire, things start off innocent enough with toddler school tantrums… and then immediately spiral (naturally).We unpack the dark humor of “if it’s your ticket, it’s your ticket,” why that thought is somehow both comforting and deeply unsettling, and how one spiral can quickly turn into another — especially when you spiral to help the original spiral. Make it make sense.From wanting to be rich (emotionally and financially), to neck Botox, the dreaded gobble-gobble, and asking ourselves if prevention is self-care or just anxiety with a budget — nothing is off limits. Katie shares how she met Cody (because love finds you when you least expect it… and sometimes when you’re not spiraling yet), we talk about using ChatGPT for literally everything, and Brittany brings back Should I Be Embarrassed? with a truly painful work moment that still keeps her up at night.It’s chaotic. It’s honest. It’s one long spiral — but at least we’re doing it together.

    Primal Pushing, Pilates & Absolutely Zero Poise

    In this episode of Funny in the Fire, Brittany and Katie start with good intentions (Pilates, wellness, poise) and immediately spiral into absolute chaos. We talk Pilates—what it promises vs. how feral it actually makes us feel—then somehow detour into destination weddings, Disney movies, and a very specific 2016 era trend that had us fully convinced we were thriving (spoiler: we were not). We also revisit where we actually were in life back then, what we thought adulthood would look like, and how wildly off that vision was. And because no episode is complete without public self-reflection, Katie brings a “Should I Be Embarrassed?” moment to the table… featuring a truly unforgettable mix-up of some very specific body parts. There is no recovery from this one. If you’ve ever tried to be graceful and instead chose primal chaos—this episode is for you. Laugh, cringe, and feel deeply seen.

    New Year, Same Chaos — Elmo Toilets, Fever Dreams & Flat Tummy Tea Lies

    We rang in the New Year the only way exhausted moms truly can… by doing absolutely nothing. In this episode, Brittany and Katie recap their very unglamorous New Year’s Eve, dive into the absolute disaster that is potty training (looking at you, Elmo potty), and unpack the wildest recurring dreams that make zero sense but feel way too real. We also bring back Hate or Relate, where we confess to promising our toddlers literally anything just to get them to sleep, and hit our favorite segment Should I Be Embarrassed? — featuring Brittany eating around the mold on her favorite orange because, well… motherhood. Plus, remember when Flat Tummy Tea was the solution to all life problems? Yeah, we go there too. Because nothing says fresh start like chaos, moldy fruit, and shattered expectations.

    We survived the holidays...barely

    January is the longest month of the year — especially when you’re six weeks postpartum, running on cold coffee, and trying to convince yourself that “new year, new you” doesn’t apply to sleep deprivation.In this episode, Brittany and Katie check in on the emotional rollercoaster of postpartum life — from adrenaline crashes and gaslighting yourself into optimism, to learning how to surrender to every feeling instead of forcing yourself into all-or-nothing thinking. They open up about the pressure to stay positive on social media, the fear of scaring pregnant moms with too much honesty, and why postpartum support groups can feel like actual lifesavers.Things take a nostalgic (and slightly unhinged) turn as they dive into childhood memories — Saved by the Bell car phones, old pregnancy apps, and Katie’s family VHS tapes that somehow include her five-year-old self being asked if OJ is guilty. They also talk sibling age gaps, the emotional debate over having more kids, and how marriage in the newborn stage looks a lot like whisper-fighting in the dark.Plus: NYC Christmas chaos, Rockettes crowds, Frosty’s “day club” dreams, French toast casserole survival hacks, Elf on the Shelf bribery, dogs eating entire advent calendars, and why laughing together might just be the most romantic thing left in early parenthood.Motherhood is messy, exhausting, nostalgic, hilarious, and wildly complicated — and somehow, we’re still standing.

    Fed Is Best, Sleep Is a Myth & Should I Be Embarrassed?

    In this episode of Funny in the Fire, Brittany and Katie dive headfirst into the postpartum chaos no one fully prepares you for. From breastfeeding pressure, formula guilt, and dysphoric milk ejection reflex, to sleep deprivation, routines that fall apart, and the very real mental load of being the default parent — nothing is off limits. They share raw, personal stories about deciding to stop breastfeeding, navigating societal expectations, postpartum anxiety, and the relief (and grief) that can come with choosing what’s best for you and your baby. Add in husbands, household dynamics, second-baby whiplash, and the realization that sleep is… not real — and you’ve got postpartum truth served hot. The episode wraps with the debut of our new recurring segment, “Should I Be Embarrassed?” , featuring a story so unhinged it involves a honeymoon, Europe, and a loss of bowel control (you’re welcome). If you’ve ever questioned your choices, felt like you were failing when you absolutely weren’t, or laughed through the mess just to survive — this episode is for you. 👉 Follow us on Instagram & TikTok @funnyinthefire 📩 Email us your mom stories, parenting questions, or submissions for “Should I Be Embarrassed?” at funnyinthefire@gmail.com Motherhood is fire — we’re here to help you find the funny in it.

    Postpartum, Pee Pants & Finding the Funny

    Motherhood is messy, hilarious, and often involves way more bodily fluids than anyone warned us about—and in our very first episode of Funny in the Fire, we’re diving right into all of it. Brittany (marketer, author, mom of 2, and mom of loss) and Katie (nurse-turned-medical-sales, mom of 2, freshly postpartum) introduce themselves, share the stories behind their kids’ names and age gaps, and unpack the weird grief of “I miss being pregnant but also absolutely do not want to be pregnant again.” We talk about chasing the high of pregnancy tests, why “soak it all in” advice makes us both ragey, the realities of peeing your pants at work, NYC stomach bugs, Skims in hotel mini-fridges, pelvic floors, marriage in the chaos, and what “funny in the fire” really means to us as two Aries moms trying to stay human.If you’re here for unfiltered mom talk, chaotic honesty, and stories that make you feel less alone in the trenches, you’re in the right place.
