In today’s episode, we’re having some fun… sitting down with margaritas on a Monday and having some fun. 🍸

We kick things off with one of Jenni’s signature gratitude timestamps—because whether it’s a big milestone or a simple moment like this, there’s always something to appreciate.

Then we dive into what so many of you have been asking for…

👉 the real differences between motherhood then vs. now.

From parenting styles to mom guilt to the things that would definitely get judged today we’re unpacking it all with lots of laughs along the way.

😂 What We Talk About

• The things moms today do that make previous generations say… “wait, what?”
• Why “gentle parenting” wasn’t exactly a thing back then
• The parenting choices that somehow worked… even if they wouldn’t fly today
• The story of why Jenni was once put on a leash as a toddler (yes, really 😂)
• Growing up with ADD and how parenting approaches have evolved
• Why mom guilt feels so different today compared to the 90s
• The reality of working moms, daycare, and how life used to look
• Why you don’t have to fix everything for your kids
• The importance of letting kids figure things out on their own

🍸 Haute Mama Q&A

We also answer some of your questions, including:

• Who actually choreographs our dance routines
• Advice from mom that felt silly then—but means so much now
• How we’ve maintained such a close relationship over the years

👉 Moms just want their kids to be happy and healthy.
