    Pop Culture Moms Are Talking About: Catherine O’Hara, Brooklyn Beckham, and Parenting in the Spotlight

    This week on Two Moms Too Much Coffee, we are diving into pop culture headlines through a mom lens. We talk about the heartbreaking news of Catherine O’Hara’s passing and why she felt like everyone’s TV mom, from Home Alone to Schitt’s Creek. We also unpack the ongoing Beckham family drama, including Brooklyn Beckham’s relationship with his parents and how weddings, boundaries, and control can permanently shift parent-child dynamics. From there, we discuss North West, creativity, body autonomy, and where parents draw the line when kids grow up in the public eye. We wrap up with our excitement for the upcoming America’s Next Top Model documentaries and reflect on how much reality TV shaped us before we had fully developed frontal lobes. This episode is honest, messy, nostalgic, and full of the kind of conversations moms are already having in their group chats.

    In part two of our emotional whiplash of motherhood conversation, we dive deeper into the mental load, boredom, and identity shifts that come with early motherhood.

This episode is for moms who love their kids, care deeply, and still want more mental stimulation, fulfillment, and space to be themselves. Tell us what “more” means to you in this season of life and we may share your response in an upcoming episode.

    The Emotional Whiplash of Motherhood: Loving Being a Mom and Still Wanting More

    In this episode of Two Moms Too Much Coffee, we get honest about the emotional whiplash of motherhood. Loving being a mom while still wanting more. More ambition. More identity. More space to be yourself. We talk about the guilt that creeps in when motherhood feels all-consuming, the pressure to let being a mom become your entire personality, and why wanting time, ambition, or personal fulfillment does not make you a bad mom. From career shifts after kids, mom guilt around self-care, and the fear of saying out loud that motherhood alone does not feel like enough, this conversation is raw, validating, and deeply relatable. We also kick off the episode with a quick life recap before diving into the main topic. Skip ahead to the main conversation at 06:30 if you want to jump straight in. This is part one of a two-part conversation. Part two drops next week where we continue unpacking validation, reassurance, and how to move forward without guilt. If you have ever thought, “I love my kids but I still want more,” this episode is for you.

In this episode of Two Moms Too Much Coffee, we break down what it is really like to fly internationally with a baby or toddler.
