    Interrupted by: Cutting Ties, Breaking the Cycle and Protecting Your Peace (Toxic Family Edition)

    In this raw and unfiltered episode, we’re diving into one of the hardest conversations to have—what it really looks like to deal with toxic family relationships. From verbal and emotional abuse to guilt, obligation, and the pressure to “keep the peace,” we’re laying it all out and saying the things many people are afraid to admit out loud. We talk about the reality of setting boundaries, the difference between protecting your peace and cutting people off, and why extended family dynamics can be just as complicated—especially when relationships are rooted more in obligation than genuine connection. This conversation also explores the emotional toll these relationships take over time, the breaking point that forces change, and the grief, doubt, and even loneliness that can come with walking away. But on the other side of that, we also talk about peace, clarity, and the power of choosing yourself. As moms, we reflect on what it means to break generational cycles and create a healthier, safer environment for our kids—proving that sometimes the most loving thing you can do is set boundaries, even with family.

    Interrupted by: A Softer Season

    Spring is here, and everywhere we turn we’re told it’s time to refresh, reset, and reorganize. But in this episode of Mom, Interrupted, we’re not talking about closets, storage bins, or color-coded pantries. We’re talking about spring cleaning our lives. This week we dive into the invisible clutter moms carry — the expectations, guilt, and comparison that quietly pile up over time. Together we unpack the pressure to “do it all” in a new season, talk honestly about winter burnout, and challenge the never-ending mental “should list.” We also share small, realistic micro-habits that can help reset your energy without completely overhauling your routine. And because no episode is complete without a little fun, Jennifer completely surprises Ely with one of the biggest “hard launches” she’s had in a while, leading to a moment that Ely definitely did not see coming. In this episode we talk about: What moms actually need to declutter (hint: it’s not your house) Tossing the unrealistic seasonal “should list” Letting go of winter burnout Micro-habits that can gently reset your energy Mom confessions about what we’re NOT doing this spring If you’re entering spring feeling more exhausted than refreshed, this episode is your reminder that a new season doesn’t have to mean doing more — sometimes it just means letting go of what you were never meant to carry.

    Interrupted by: Valentines for the Galentines (with Special Guest)

    This Galentine’s Day episode is a reminder that love doesn’t only show up in heart-shaped boxes or grand gestures. Joined by Ely’s sister-in-law and friend, Alyssa, we’re talking about the kind of love that quietly carries us through motherhood—friendship, connection, and feeling truly seen in this season of life. We reflect on how friendships change after becoming moms, why adult connection matters more than ever, and how Galentine’s Day gives us permission to celebrate the people who show up in small but meaningful ways. We also get honest about Valentine’s Day expectations with our partners, how those expectations evolve after kids, and what feeling loved actually looks like right now. This episode isn’t about doing Valentine’s “right.” It’s about releasing pressure, leaning into connection, and reminding ourselves that love exists in many forms—romantic, platonic, and everything in between. If you’ve been craving community, understanding, or just a reminder that you’re not alone, this conversation is for you.

    Interrupted by: When Every Day Feels the Same (A Groundhogs Day Special)

    In this episode, we’re talking about the Groundhog Day feeling of motherhood—the days that blur together, the routines that keep us going but sometimes leave us feeling stuck on autopilot. If your life lately feels like the same wake-ups, the same responsibilities, and the same mental load on repeat… you’re not alone. This solo episode is a gentle reminder that while routine is necessary, moms are human too—and we deserve breaks, softness, and moments that feel new again. We unpack why routine can start to feel heavy, normalize burnout with relatable stats and real talk, and share simple, no-pressure ways to interrupt the monotony—both for yourself and with your kids. This isn’t about overhauling your life or adding more to your plate. It’s about small shifts, tiny pauses, and giving yourself permission to rest—even in the middle of the life you love. If you’ve been surviving instead of feeling present, this episode is your reminder: you matter too.

    Interrupted by: Ely's Giggles & Technical Difficulties

    This week’s episode is part reflection, part reset, and part encouragement for moms who may be feeling a little lost this January. We’re talking about the identity shift that happens in motherhood — how easy it is to lose pieces of yourself while trying to be everything for everyone else. We open up about the guilt of missing who you used to be, the pressure to “do it all,” and why those feelings don’t mean you’re failing — they mean you’re human. From there, we check in on how January is really going. The burnout, the comparison, the perfectionism, and that constant feeling of being behind. We remind you that struggling mid-month doesn’t mean the year is ruined. We also dive into the power of small wins and why they create a bigger impact than drastic change ever could. Adjusting expectations isn’t quitting — it’s listening to your real life. Progress counts. Rest counts. Starting again counts. This conversation won’t be the last time we talk about identity and motherhood — it’s a big, ongoing journey — but our hope is that this episode makes you feel seen, encouraged, and reminded that you’re allowed to start small and move at your own pace.

  7. Interrupted by: Fantasy vs Reality

    Jan 19

    Interrupted by: Fantasy vs Reality

    In this episode, we’re talking about the difference between the fantasy we’re sold through books, movies, and TV—and the reality of what intimacy, desire, and connection can actually look like in real life. We start by reflecting on how we first learned about sex (or didn’t), and how much of that education came from media rather than real conversations. From there, we unpack how unrealistic storylines, romance tropes, and modern-day media can quietly shape expectations around relationships, intimacy, and even ourselves—and what can happen when fantasy starts setting the standard. We talk honestly about comparison, pressure, disappointment, and the importance of separating entertainment from real-life connection. This conversation is just the beginning. This topic is broad, layered, and deeply relevant, and it definitely won’t be the last time we talk about it. We’ll be revisiting it in future episodes as we continue to explore how media influences relationships, intimacy, and expectations in this season of life. While this episode touches on relationships and marriage, it’s not just for couples. It’s for any mom who’s ever consumed media and thought, “Is it just me?”—and needed to hear something honest, grounding, and relatable.

  8. Interrupted by: New Year. New Resolutions.

    Jan 13

    Interrupted by: New Year. New Resolutions.

    In this New Year’s resolutions episode, we’re checking in honestly and throwing out the pressure that usually comes with “new year, new you.” Instead of unrealistic goals and all-or-nothing thinking, we’re talking about what it actually looks like to set intentions in the middle of real mom life — interruptions, exhaustion, and all. This conversation is less about fixing ourselves and more about offering grace, choosing sustainability over perfection, and redefining what success looks like in this season. We talk through common struggles moms face in January — comparison, burnout, feeling behind — and share practical ways to reset without guilt. If you’re heading into the new year craving encouragement, permission to go slow, and reminders that small wins truly matter, this episode is for you. Because life will interrupt our plans… and that doesn’t mean we’re failing — it means we’re human.
