Since there are some new listeners, the Momsense Moms decided to re-introduce themselves this week.

The ladies start with a review of their weeks. Molly gets creative at the car dealership, and has questions about splash pad etiquette. Megan discusses their day trip to Saugatuck, and suggests an alternative option to the Tonie Box and Yoto Player .

The Momsense Moms shamefully admit that they didn’t prioritize alone time this week, however, both are very content with how their weeks have went!

We hope to provide some insight into the traits that make these women who they are, from their coffee orders and favorite snacks to Mollys obsession with moisturizer and Meg’s pledge to not mention Disney for the next several episodes. We hope you enjoy getting to know these wonderful women as much as they enjoyed sharing with you!

On this week’s episode of The Momsense Podcast, the Momsense Moms kick things off with a recap of Megan’s recent ER visit (don’t worry—everyone’s fine). Which kid do you think it was for? Cast your votes on Spotify below the description lol. Molly shares about her weekend with her mom and the extra help she provided.

Next, they chat about the things they did for themselves this week. For Molly, it was recognizing she can’t pour from an empty cup—so she stepped back and gave herself the rest she desperately needed. Megan’s was a happy accident: she bought something for her oldest that ended up giving her guilt-free time to tackle the tasks that had been weighing her down.

For this week’s main topic, both Molly and Megan brought their own ideas. Molly dove into some controversial parenting topics—like spanking, co-sleeping, following pregnancy guidelines, posting kids on social media, and more. Then Megan introduced a little game of Never Have I Ever: Mom Edition.

Thanks for spending part of your day with the Momsense Moms. Have a great day—and don’t forget to quarter your kids’ grapes.

This week the women start by appreciating Inez and discussing the embarrassing new bodily function that has been happening since having kids. They review their afternoon together with their girls and Meg’s gray cloud.

The ladies review their Enneagram results. To no ones surprise Meg was a Type 2: The Helper and to EVERYONES surprise so was Molly. The ladies discuss what describes a Type 2 and how they relate to the description. UPDATE: Molly is actually a Type 3w2 (point for Megan) and Megan is a Type 6 (point for Molly). So the Enneagram section of this podcast is now for entertainment purposes only. lol.

Molly and Meg then get into their topic for this episode where they discuss when they did certain things with their girls and when they plan to do others. These topics include breastfeeding, starting solids, taking away pacifiers, potty training, removing in-room monitors, moving the kids into their own rooms or moving them out of their cribs, getting them into their first extracurricular activity, make-up, having the dreaded period talk, as well as rules around dating and cell phones.

Join Molly and Meg as they discuss our ideal situations for the future and how we fully expect those plans to implode!

In this week’s episode, Molly opens up and allows herself to be vulnerable about her recent struggles. She shares how she’s been feeling and her efforts to find support and relief.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Momsense episode without a quick chat about the books they’re currently reading. Tune in to hear their thoughts on recent picks (some popular titles are mentioned!).

Then, Molly and Megan dive into the episode’s main topic: navigating an unexpected diagnosis. Megan discusses her daughters’ diagnosis of Late-Onset Pompe Disease—a rare condition she had never even heard of before. She explains what the disease involves, how it was diagnosed, and shares helpful tips and resources for other parents who may find themselves in a similar position.
