Danielle’s back from vacation and Catie’s been deep in the trenches — so it’s time for a good old-fashioned catch-up full of chaos, calendar rage, and summer panic. 😅

We’re talking:🏖️ Post-vacation reality checks📆 The madness of summer program scheduling🚗 Becoming full-time unpaid Uber drivers😩 Still working full-time while everyone under 4 feet tall has plans every 7 minutes
😭 Oh—and the emotional spiral of realizing our kids are growing up way too fast

If you’re already exhausted by the summer that hasn’t even started yet... same. Tune in for laughs, real talk, and a few dramatic sighs.

Ever feel like everyone around you is thriving... while you're just surviving? You're not alone. In this episode, we sit down with Krista Hudson of Hudson Life Coaching—a mom of 3 who completely lost herself in motherhood, and then fought to reclaim the woman underneath the chaos.

Krista shares her powerful story of how she went from overwhelmed and disconnected, to fulfilled, confident, and fully herself again. We talk about:
✨ What it really means to prioritize yourself👩‍👧‍👦 And why showing up for you is the best thing you can do for your family

Oh—and of course, we round things out with some "Sh*t You Can't Make Up" stories, because #momlife is nothing if not unpredictable.

If you’ve been feeling like a background character in your own life, this episode is your wake-up call (but like, the gentle kind with coffee ☕).

We’re fresh off our latest event and feeling equal parts inspired and exhausted—so what better time for a little reset? In this episode, we walk you through a 4-step alignment exercise to help you get clear on:

✅ What you're good at
🚫 What you hate doing
🌟 Your big vision
🎯 And what success actually looks like (spoiler: it’s different for all of us… and that’s okay)

Whether you’re in a pivot, a burnout spiral, or just need to realign with your goals, this one’s your permission slip to pause, reflect, and maybe even laugh a little. Because let’s be honest... success is still kinda TBD. 🙃

In this week’s episode, we’re serving up laughs and impossible choices with a special Working Mom Edition of “Would You Rather?” 🤔😂

Would you rather…
✂️ Let your toddler cut your hair or their own?
🎧 Listen to Peppa Pig on repeat or commit to a lifetime of SpongeBob?
🚗 Have a full-time chauffeur or a private chef?

We go back and forth with the most mom-life questions ever—from the chaotic to the oddly tempting—and reveal where we’d draw the line (hint: we’re not giving up that chef 👩‍🍳).

Whether you're multitasking or hiding in the pantry for five minutes of peace, this episode is guaranteed to make you laugh and nod along. 🙃

March Book recap: The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins

Didn’t have time to read Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins? We got you. 🙌 In this episode, we go section by section and break down the book in a way that actually makes sense for busy moms juggling 45 tabs in their brain.

Think of this as your CliffsNotes with caffeine ☕—minus the pressure and plus a lot more real talk. We’re sharing the quotes that hit hard, the parts that made us say “same,” and where we still kinda want to control everything (oops).

Whether you read it, skimmed it, or just liked the TikToks about it—this is the mom take you didn’t know you needed.

Here's to Let Them, And Let Me!

Because moms deserve to talk about more than just potty training and snack schedules. 🙃

This week, we had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Julie Schaus—a powerhouse mom of three and a fierce advocate for Down Syndrome awareness. 💪✨

She takes us through the raw and real emotions of receiving her daughter Shea’s diagnosis, how she navigated the unknown, educated herself, and ultimately found empowerment in advocacy.

We tackle the big questions—the misconceptions, the fears, and the overwhelming flood of opinions that come with parenting a child with Down Syndrome. Julie’s insight is invaluable, whether you're a parent, an ally, or just here to learn.

And of course, we celebrate World Down Syndrome Day (March 21st!) 🎉—because Trisomy 21 deserves the love, the awareness, and ALL the joy.

Oh, and did we mention Shea’s superpower is making people smile? 😁💙 You’ll feel it through this episode!

No, Catie’s not rolling in millions… but she did hit the jackpot in the Pre-K lottery! 🏆🎒 Jack is officially headed to school, and we’re diving into the big parenting debate: send them early or hold them back? 😬
Because, let’s be real—everyone has an opinion when it comes to parenting decisions. 🙃 We’re talking about the endless (and often unsolicited) advice, the judgment that sneaks its way in, and what we actually wish people would say instead. 🤦‍♀️💡
So whether you’re in the thick of school decisions or just here for the laughs, grab your coffee ☕ (or wine 🍷—no judgment here) and tune in! 🎧
