We love our kids. We love being moms. But sometimes motherhood is also a whole lot of chaos, and being able to laugh about it with someone who gets it can make all the difference.

In this episode of The Mama Healing Hub Podcast, hosts Carrie and Alyssa sit down with Mads and Rach, the hilarious sister-in-law duo, content creators, and authors behind Pure Bliss, an illustrated humour book for parents that captures the messy, funny, exhausting, and beautiful realities of raising kids.

From toddler meltdowns and sibling fights to the pressure to make motherhood look picture-perfect, this conversation is a refreshing reminder that loving motherhood doesn't mean loving every moment of it.

Mads and Rach share how a family inside joke turned into a published book, why they started creating relatable parenting content, and how humour and honest conversations can help moms feel more connected and less alone in their experiences.

If you've ever hidden away for five minutes of peace, laughed with a friend about something your kids did, or wondered whether anyone else's house looks like yours, this episode is for you.

• How Mads and Rach turned the everyday chaos of raising kids into their book, Pure Bliss

• The funny, messy, and sometimes ridiculous realities of motherhood

• Why loving your children and finding parenting exhausting can both be true

• How humour helps moms connect through shared experiences

Mads and Rach are sister-in-laws, friends, moms of four kids between them, and unapologetic oversharers.

They're the creators behind Pure Bliss, a hilarious illustrated book for adults navigating the beautiful, exhausting, and often ridiculous experience of parenthood.

Their mission is simple: make moms laugh, help them feel seen, and remind them that nobody has motherhood completely figured out.

Through their book, podcast, and relatable parenting content, they're creating space for real conversations about motherhood, where the messy moments are just as welcome as the beautiful ones.
