It’s Courtney’s turn! Listen in while she shares the emotional, funny, and deeply real story of welcoming Baby Kowalske #2 (who also makes his Podcast debut guest appearance for those watching the podcast in video format!)

In this episode of The Truth About Childbirth, Courtney’s version, she shares the emotional rollercoaster of discovering her baby was breech, navigating an ECV procedure, and ultimately facing an unexpected C-section. This episode is loaded with plot twists, surprises, and what happens when your baby says “birth plan who?”. Because sometimes childbirth is less “calm birth playlist” and more “husband sliding across the floor in his underwear because the baby is coming.”

Courtney also opens up postpartum emotions, C-section recovery, breastfeeding, hospital advocacy, and the wild reality of healing while caring for a newborn and a toddler.

This is more than just a story of birth, it’s an episode packed with fear and surrender, strength and recovery, and a reminder that birth is beautiful even when it does not go according to plan. Because all the statistics in the world can never count on your personal experience, even baby to baby.

In Part 2, the Moms go beyond loss as Marist opens up about the realities no one prepares you for - navigating friendships after stillbirth, receiving pregnancy announcements while grieving, and the quiet ways people unintentionally get it wrong… even when they mean well.

This conversation is raw, honest, and deeply necessary.

Marist also shares what it’s like approaching Harvey’s first birthday—the rituals, the remembrance, and the intentional ways she’s choosing to honor him while still moving forward.

One year later… and the story didn’t end. It avalanched.

In this deeply personal follow-up, Brit and Court sit back down with Marist Lamson to revisit her stillbirth journey (Episode 19A & 19B) but not from the raw immediate moment - this time from the sacred lens of heart healing and the complicated place that comes after.

Marist opens up about what the first year after stillbirth actually holds - from quiet triggers and unexpected connections, to the relationships that stretch and the ones that didn’t survive. Marist shares what it’s been like to walk alongside other women in similar pregnancies specifically IUGR and SIUGR, to hold space for their fear while carrying her own grief, and to live in the tension of joy and grief at the same time.

Marist brings the moms along her journey to self actualizing, finding peace, finding community, understanding her future projects from the past events, and how the new year didn’t mean she lost Harvey.

It started as a story about loss. It became about what happens when the world keeps spinning and learning how to spin with it. It avalanched into spinning the worst moment of her life to a universal calling of a lifetime.

truth about motherhood

On this Play Date and Tell feature with Khara motherhood, meaning, and music collide. In this deeply personal episode of Truth Moms, Brit and Court sit down for a raw, unfiltered conversation about what it really looks like to raise and love a neurodivergent child, beyond the buzzwords and beyond the labels.

This one hits different for Brit as her world’s collide with her two passion projects - from speaking her mind with Truth Moms, to speaking her heart with Strawberry Road.

With April being Autism Awareness Month, this episode dives into Autism, diagnosis, and the sacred, messy middle of motherhood. From the moment of hearing “your child has Autism” to building a life rooted in empathy, inclusion, and joy, this one is sure to bring the tears and the tea (looking at you Target Stores).

Inclusion isn’t a trend - it’s a responsibility. Raising kids in a world that isn’t always built for them makes one appreciate even more friendship, community, and finding your people. And maybe most importantly, moments like these kids offer simply teach us how to be better humans.

The truth is: Autism isn’t something to fix; it’s something to understand, honor, and make space for.

If you’re a parent, a friend, a teacher, a caregiver, or just someone trying to raise kinder humans or be one, this episode will stretch your heart and open your thoughts to the fullest realization that every child matters.

You thought this episode was just going to be about Lent, but it turns into a conversation about discipline, boundaries, peer pressure as adults, social media addiction, motherhood, identity, and what happens when you actually get quiet long enough to hear your own thoughts again. Spoiler alert if you’re Court it’s not ideal.

This episode is about giving things up, but not in the traditional way and definitely not just sweets. It’s about ego. Control. Habits. Distractions. It’s about realizing how uncomfortable silence is, how addicted we are to noise, and how much easier it is to hold boundaries to the outside world then when your closest people want you to just “have one drink,” “just see this one thing online,” or “just break it this once.”

Whether you observe Lent or not, this episode is really about one question: What has more control over your life than you want to admit?

This episode discusses Lent, Catholic faith, Christian faith, fasting, social media detox, self discipline, boundaries, motherhood, identity, personal growth, and intentional living in modern motherhood.

Season 5 is here and we’re done trying to be palatable.

In this kickoff episode of Truth Moms, we’re coming in hot with real-life chaos and unfiltered motherhood. This season is under construction… literally and spiritually.

From recording podcasts with babies in our laps (and also nursing because WDGAF about what men think of breastfeeding live), navigating pregnancy, living faithfully, and the internet’s strong opinions that we are so unbothered but also really bothered by. This episode is a messy, honest look at what it means to grow up and stop performing for everyone else.

Season 5 is a personality shift: we’re not here to be perfect, we’re here to be honest.

This episode of Truth Moms is what happens when motherhood, stomach bugs, sleep deprivation, and group chat tension collide.

The Moms talk drama with friendships (spolier alert it's not just mom groups), default parent burnout, co-sleeping, gentle parenting, mental load, and why women simmer while men simply… get a beer and move on. Oh yes, Brit and Court have entered the chat on the newest Baby Mama Llama Viral Drama with Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore, Ashley Tisdale, Meghan Trainor, and uh, Hilary’s husband? (queue Brit gagging on a soy boy milk latte).

From puking kids and surviving sickness as the default parent, to navigating toxic social groups, celebrity mom drama, and the awkward reality of making mom friends as an adult, this episode gets twisty and we're not just talking about the cutest 3 year old camera man.

No parenting advice. No fake harmony. Maybe a monologue. Definitely a toddler cameo.
