Join writer Emily Farris and her mom friends every Tuesday as they get real about motherhood. From diversifying our social circles and managing our mental health to bra shopping after breastfeeding and peeing in private, no topic is off limits. Guests include writers, doctors, and other experts, as well as a handful of mothers who may not have a huge platform but whose voices are equally important as we all try to navigate this "new normal" — whatever the hell that means.

Is it okay to take mental health meds when pregnant? What about breastfeeding? Where’s the line between normal new-mom anxiety and full-blown postpartum anxiety? Or is it all just a big murky swamp?

Never Say Never
This podcast just reached a huge milestone! To celebrate (but mostly to take a breather after a rough week and before next week's big episode), Emily recorded from her living room floor and responded to listener voicemails about the things they said they’d never do as a parent, but totally ended up doing once they had kids.

Customer Reviews
Mother Mother, a motherhood podcast that doesn’t make you cringe.
Emily is a great host with a relatable, witty, & honest approach. This first season has had a great roundup of guests and listener question episodes. Subscribe and spread the word!
Relatable, thoughtful, delightful
If you can’t see your mom friends right now, or they live far away, or making mom friends is too awkward and overwhelming - you should probably listen to this podcast and feel like you’re in a friendly, honest conversation with Emily and her guests. There’s a lot of *stuff* around being a mom, and we just need to talk about it. I like listen to this on the rare occasions I drive somewhere by myself.
Real, real!
Love this real, raw look at motherhood. Guests are diverse and interesting and help me think about life from a new angle. Check it out!
