    “how was your day?” and other ways our kids completely undo us

    back-to-school season has arrived, which means name labels on underwear, three spare outfits, approximately six thousand school holidays and trying to find kids’ activities that don’t require the entire family to live in the car. Emily shares how Olivia’s first week of kindergarten went—including the exhaustion, the new routines and the classroom guinea pig currently getting top billing—and Kendall prepares to send Charlie to school while negotiating a gymnastics tryout for a two-year-old whose ability to listen is…very mood-dependent. Plus, the girls debate butter storage, remember their children eating straight from restaurant butter packets and hear a listener submission about the tiny moment when your child suddenly asks, “how was your day?” Key TakeawaysKindergarten can be more exhausting than preschool even when the day is technically shorter. Putting multiple children in activities is its own logistical sport. The dream is two classes at the same location, preferably back-to-back, with no one spending an hour watching their sibling have fun.The smallest signs that our kids are growing can hit harder than the official milestones.Every parent has a category of problem they have decided to leave for Future Them. Back-to-school preparation is mostly labeling objects you did not realize required individual identification. mentioned links & resourcesGolden Gate Gymnastics Name BubblesListener Submissions DM them to us on Instagram:  @wait.same.pod OR Email your voice notes to waitsamepodcast@gmail.com

    popsicles at 10:30 a.m. and other parenting choices we stand by

    Apparently there comes a point in motherhood when your kid can sit next to you and happily do their own thing while you do yours…and honestly, we weren’t sure we’d ever get here. This week we’re talking about the tiny signs that maybe, just maybe, parenting is getting a little easier (or just harder in different ways)  — plus letting our kids absolutely ruin our perfectly painted pottery, discovering the joy of having a four-year-old shopping buddy, and the very specific hell that is bringing small children into an airport lounge full of silent business travelers. Also: why do some cars slowly become covered in kid stickers? Could we win The Amazing Race? and yes, sometimes keeping your kids quiet means popsicles at 10:30 in the morning. we stand by it. Key TakeawaysSometimes you don’t realize you’re out of a hard phase until you’re already on the other side of it. Your kid’s version of “fun” does not necessarily look like fun while it’s happening. Motherhood is a recurring exercise in letting someone mess up the thing you could do better yourself. Traveling with young kids makes you hyperaware of everyone around you. Sometimes survival wins.  Mentioned Links & ResourcesGrand Central Petaluma — coffee/breakfast spot on the Petaluma River  The Hot Spot Studios — Petaluma — paint-your-own pottery and other crafts Solar Buddies — refillable roll-on sunscreen applicator  Listener Submissions DM them to us on Instagram:  @wait.same.pod OR Email your voice notes to waitsamepodcast@gmail.com

    Are We Good Moms…or Are They Just Daddy Obsessed?

    Somehow we started with the return of the missing Farfalle (yes...that Farfalle), ended up talking about toddlers who only want Dad, and accidentally stumbled into one of the biggest conversations we've had yet. What happens when you're building something you love...but it means missing bedtime? Why do we feel guilty about moments that haven't even happened yet? And why does it hurt so much when all your toddler wants is the other parent? If you've ever questioned whether you're doing enough, missing too much, or just wanted to be part of the memory...wait...same. Key TakeawaysMom guilt doesn't wait until after something happens—it often starts long before.Kids choosing one parent over the other can be both heartbreaking and strangely freeing.Building a career, business, or passion project often means navigating impossible-feeling tradeoffs.The "firsts" matter because we want to be present in our children's memories—not because the event itself is extraordinary.There isn't an easy version of motherhood. Every path comes with sacrifices.Listener Submissions DM them to us on Instagram:  @wait.same.pod OR Email your voice notes to waitsamepodcast@gmail.com

    He Packed...Except for One Child

    Some weekends leave you exhausted...and somehow completely full. This week we're talking about the dance recital that completely changed Emily's perspective on dance moms, the weird emotions that come with kindergarten around the corner, and why saying goodbye to preschool teachers feels way bigger than anyone prepares you for. We also get unexpectedly nostalgic about MASH, school doodles, packing lists, and the invisible mental load of getting a family out the door—especially when someone volunteers to pack...and forgets an entire child's clothes. Plus, one listener reminds us that apparently only mommy is allowed to say no. If you've ever looked at your kids lately and thought, "how are we already here?"...wait...same. Don't forget to follow the show wherever you listen and come hang out with us on Instagram @wait.same.pod—we're sharing Emily's infamous "Do Job" doodle and bringing back MASH. Key Takeaways Sometimes the moments we expect to be stressful become the ones we'll remember forever.Watching our kids step into new stages of life is exciting and surprisingly emotional.The mental load isn't always obvious until someone else tries to take it over.Growing up looks different for every generation, but nostalgia has a funny way of bringing us together.Motherhood is constantly balancing letting go while still wanting to hold on.Listener Submissions DM them to us on Instagram:  @wait.same.pod OR Email your voice notes to waitsamepodcast@gmail.com

    bubba nunas (and other things my kid renamed)

    Dance recitals are apparently a luxury sport, toddlers have absolutely no filter, and somewhere along the way our kids started using our own parenting tactics against us. This week we're talking about the surprising (to us!) cost of dance recitals, the hilarious names kids invent for body parts, whether adults should absolutely be taking hip hop classes, and the very specific way one husband eats chocolate mousse that might actually be grounds for separate dessert jars. Plus, we share one of the only real fights we've ever had as best friends (spoiler: it involved cigarettes in Italy), and a listener submission that proves kids always seem to choose the worst possible moment to get sick. Basically... motherhood is weird. And honestly? wait...same. Key TakeawaysParenting is full of tiny moments that are so ridiculous you couldn't make them up.Sometimes the biggest expense isn't the activity—it's everything that comes with it.Kids are constantly watching us...and then copying us in ways we never expected.The best friendships survive dumb arguments because the relationship matters more than being right. Every mom has at least one "the timing could not have been worse" parenting story.Listener Submissions DM them to us on Instagram:  @wait.same.pod OR Email your voice notes to waitsamepodcast@gmail.com

    When your kid doesn't want a birthday party

    We start with toddler "why?" questions that leave everyone exhausted...and somehow end up talking about how our kids are already teaching us about boundaries. This week we're chatting about surviving nonstop summer parenting, realizing one kid needs a packed social calendar while the other needs a quiet couch, honoring a birthday request that wasn't what mom imagined, and the unexpected compliment from a stranger that nearly made emily cry in barnes & noble. Plus: the best friend question that made us realize our first impressions of each other were exactly what the other person needed.  . And of course...we wrap things up with a listener story that proves kids always have a solution (even if that solution is just buying a whole new house). If you've ever had to let go of your own expectations to meet your kid where they are... Wait...same. Key TakeawaysSometimes the best way to celebrate your child is the way they want—not the way you imagined.Kids often tell us exactly what they need...if we're willing to listen.Different personalities require different parenting, even under the same roof.Encouragement from a complete stranger can stay with you far longer than criticism.The friendships that last aren't built on perfection—they're built on eventually seeing each other's real selves.Listener Submissions DM them to us on Instagram:  @wait.same.pod OR Email your voice notes to waitsamepodcast@gmail.com

    The Mystery of the Missing Farfalle

    Have you ever spent days looking for one tiny toy while convincing yourself you're definitely losing your mind? ...same. This week we're talking about disappearing toy pieces, standing-room-only sports bars in your 30s, trying new hobbies (hello, herb garden), why getting yourself ready somehow always comes last, and the strange confidence that your toddler absolutely did swallow that tiny Lego piece. Plus, we listen to another anonymous listener submission that somehow turns into a full breakfast strategy for moms everywhere. If you've ever wondered where all the toy pieces go...we're still looking too. Key TakeawaysMotherhood has a way of making the smallest inconveniences feel disproportionately personal (looking at you, missing toy pieces).Moms almost always prioritize everyone else's needs before getting themselves ready—which is usually why we're late.Sometimes saying yes to something fun (even if it feels very "twenties") could be exactly what you need.Lowering the bar doesn't mean lowering your standards—it often means finding systems that actually work for your family.Some of the best parenting hacks come from other moms, not parenting books.Mentioned LinksLittle Garden AveTrader Joe's Mini Croissants MadeGood Granola Bites Listener Submissions DM them to us on Instagram:  @wait.same.pod OR Email your voice notes to waitsamepodcast@gmail.com

    maybe the crystal is helping

    Did motherhood make us more "woo-woo"... or just a little more open-minded? This week we're talking crystals, breathwork, meditation, fertility journeys, and all the things we used to think we'd never be into. Turns out when life gets messy—and motherhood reminds you how little control you actually have—you start looking at things a little differently. We're not here to convince anyone that crystals have magical powers. We're talking about why so many moms find comfort in rituals, intentions, and anything that helps us feel a little more grounded. Plus: the weirdest thing Kendall has ever done to get pregnant, the Joshua Tree crystal shop that cracked this whole conversation open,, and a listener submission that got the laugh we needed.  If you've ever caught yourself thinking, "okay...maybe I'll try it..." ...wait...same. Key TakeawaysMotherhood has a way of softening our certainty and opening us to things we never thought we'd try.Sometimes rituals aren't about magic—they're about creating intention, hope, and a sense of control.Fertility journeys can lead us to unexpected places, emotionally and spiritually.You don't have to choose between science and curiosity; many moms find value in both.Kids will humble you in public...especially when they're learning anatomy.Mentioned Links & ResourcesSoul of YogaAll About Penises (children's anatomy book)All About Vaginas (children's anatomy book)Listener Submissions DM them to us on Instagram:  @wait.same.pod OR Email your voice notes to waitsamepodcast@gmail.com
