This week we're giving our unqualified advice on two tough relationship dilemmas that many moms and wives secretly wrestle with.

One listener says the spark in her marriage has faded. Her husband seems more interested in work and hanging out with friends than spending time with her, and she's wondering if this is just a season of life or a sign of something bigger.

Another listener has been married for 20 years but is finding herself having feelings for an old high school boyfriend. Now she's considering telling him how she feels.

We're talking about emotional disconnection, unmet needs, nostalgia, temptation, and what to do when your heart starts looking outside your marriage for something it's missing.

This week, we’re sharing two anonymous mom confessions that hit on something so many families quietly carry: guilt, pressure, and pretending we’re okay when we’re not.

One stay-at-home mom says she keeps telling everyone she’s ready to go back to work, but deep down, she doesn’t want to leave this season of motherhood behind.

Another mom admits that she and her husband have dipped into their children’s college fund while trying to stay afloat financially… and the guilt is eating at her.

We’re talking about:

stay-at-home mom guilt

returning to work after kids

financial stress in parenting

parenting and money struggles

feeling torn between identity, family, and survival

If you’ve ever felt pressure to “have it together” while secretly struggling behind the scenes… this episode is for you.

This week’s confession: “I finally got pregnant… so why am I so unhappy?”

And another mom wondering how she’s supposed to handle twins!

In this “Mom Confessions” episode, we’re sharing two anonymous stories from first-time moms navigating pregnancy in very different ways.

One mom is pregnant with twins and overwhelmed with fear about how she’s going to handle it all.

Another struggled with fertility and is finally pregnant but is dealing with unexpected depression and struggles in her marriage, and hasn’t told anyone.

We’re talking about:

-pregnancy anxiety

-fertility and finally conceiving

-feeling unhappy while pregnant

-marriage struggles during pregnancy

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, numb, or not how you thought you’d feel… you’re not alone.

Kids, phones, and social media… when is the right time? In this episode, we’re sharing a real mom confession about screen time struggles and talking with Alexis Rod, APRN, and Meghan Robinson, PT DPT, OMT from The Digital Balance Project about how to delay devices and build healthier digital habits.

The Digital Balance Project is a nonprofit helping families navigate one of the hardest parts of modern parenting: screens, phones, and social media.

We’re talking about what it actually looks like to delay devices, why it matters, and how to make realistic choices in a world where tech is everywhere (and let’s be honest… sometimes feels unavoidable).

If you’ve ever questioned when your child should get a phone, felt pressure from other parents, or worried about what all this screen time is really doing… this episode is for you.

Because we’re all just trying to figure this out without losing our minds (or handing over an iPhone at age 8).

Motherhood can feel overwhelming… and sometimes, it’s more than just being tired.

In this Mom Confessions episode, we’re sharing two anonymous submissions that dive into burnout, identity loss, therapy, and complicated relationship dynamics.

One mom opens up about feeling completely overwhelmed and like she’s lost herself, wanting to start therapy and wishing her husband would finally work through things he’s been avoiding.

Another shares that after a year of couples therapy following her husband’s affair, she’s now found herself emotionally involved with someone else.

We’re not here to fix it or give perfect answers, just to talk through the messy, complicated realities so many moms are quietly living.

If you’ve ever felt stretched too thin, disconnected from yourself, or unsure what your relationship even looks like anymore… you’re not alone.

We got a submission that made us stop and think…

A family member keeps making comments about a child’s weight—and no one is saying anything.

But here’s the question…

Is it your place to step in if it’s not your child?

In this episode of Dear Liz & Lauren, we’re giving our very unqualified advice on:

Handling body shaming comments about kids

Where the line is between “not your business” and “this isn’t okay”

Protecting kids from harmful messages about body image

Setting boundaries without blowing up the family dynamic

Because sometimes staying quiet feels easier…

but it doesn’t always feel right.

And let’s be honest—these are the situations you can’t always talk about with people in your real life.

Mean girls, friendship drama, and the helpless feeling of watching your child struggle socially… what should moms actually do?

In this Unqualified Advice episode of Dear Liz and Lauren, a mom writes in asking how to handle a painful situation: her daughter is dealing with mean girls and toxic friendships, and she’s not sure when to step in or when to let her daughter handle it herself.

We talk about how to support your daughter without making things worse, what to say when girls are being mean or excluding others,

when parents should intervene in friendship drama, and

helping kids build confidence and healthy friendships.

As always, we’re giving completely unqualified advice — just two moms sharing honest thoughts, real experiences, and a lot of empathy for how hard parenting moments like this can be.

If you’re raising kids, navigating social drama, or trying to help your kid deal with mean girls, this episode is for you.

It’s another Unqualified Advice episode — where we answer real questions from moms and give our very unqualified opinions.

This week’s dilemmas are all about mom friendships, and let’s be honest… they can be complicated.

One listener recently moved to a new city and is struggling to make mom friends beyond the casual acquaintance stage. How do you actually build real friendships as an adult — especially as a busy mom?

Another mom has the opposite problem: her son has a close group of friends, and all the moms hang out at every playdate… but she can’t stand them. What do you do when your kid’s friendships come with parents you don’t click with?

We talk about making friends as an adult, navigating mom friend groups, playdate politics, and the awkward reality of parenting social circles.

As always, we’re not experts — just real moms giving very unqualified advice.
