Descripción

A Brazilian wax question turns into a full spiral, and somehow that’s the most accurate summary of our brains as moms. We’re Gabby, Katie, and Taylor, and we’re joined by our guest Katie from Florida for a fast, chaotic, and honest catch-up that starts with beauty upkeep, a DIY waxing nightmare, and the very real case for letting professionals handle certain kinds of “self care.”  From there we get into workplace stories and the stuff that still gets under our skin: a sexist comment about blondes, messy coworker energy, and why nurse life can feel like high school with scrubs. We also hit the oddly stressful “what are your hobbies?” question and get real about what adult hobbies actually look like when you’re tired, raising kids, and trying to keep your house standing. Think NYT crosswords, crochet, trivia, organizing, gym time, and yes, rage cleaning.  Then things take a darker turn with pop culture documentaries and true crime, including reality TV fallout and a crash case that raises tough questions about accountability, internet judgment, and the stories families tell themselves. We finish with a long run of “would you rather” questions that turns into a surprisingly real conversation about millennial work-life balance, PTO battles, teacher burnout in fifth grade classrooms, parenting discipline, and why nurses and teachers don’t get the respect they deserve.  If you like funny friends, unfiltered mom talk, and real conversations about nursing, teaching, and modern motherhood, hit play.

Long Poops, Lawn Mowing & Dad Feelings

Father’s Day felt like the perfect excuse to hand the microphones to the dads in our lives, and they did not hold back. We sit down with Adam, Dylan, and Gil for a raw, funny, and unexpectedly emotional talk about modern fatherhood, starting with the exact moment each of them realized, “Oh, I’m actually going to be a dad.” It’s the kind of parenting conversation that sounds like your group chat, but hits like real life when the jokes fade for a second. We get into the dad version of mom guilt: staying late at work when you know you could be home, sleeping in when your partner is already up, even asking permission to take a shower because you hate feeling like you’re tapping out. From there we talk about what we hope our kids remember most: being present, being steady, and being the parent they can come to whether they’re proud of themselves or scared to admit they messed up. If you care about millennial dads, hands-on parenting, and building a family culture where kids feel safe, this one lands. Then we go deeper on girl dad vs boy dad expectations and what it means to raise resilient kids without teaching them to bury everything. We talk toughness, vulnerability, and why “the days are long but the years are short” isn’t just a quote, it’s a warning not to blink. You’ll also hear the real stuff couples deal with after kids: pet peeves, morning stress, household habits, and the tiny fights that aren’t about the kids, but definitely affect the home.

Backyard Botox By Gabi

The conversation starts with a ridiculous headline worthy of a group chat “the bush is making a comeback” and somehow turns into a very real look at what it means to be a mom in your 30s trying to keep up with beauty trends, self-care, and the mental load. We talk laser hair removal, hair appointments, nail expectations, and why paying for a service sometimes means speaking up even when it’s awkward. Then we slide into the “treat yourself” pipeline: pedicures, budgeting for maintenance, and the not-so-hypothetical idea of Botox, including what can go wrong if you don’t respect anatomy.  From there, we get honest about the thoughts that sneak in when you’re tired and you know too much especially health anxiety. We laugh about childhood fears like quicksand and tornadoes, but we also talk about the scary stuff that’s not funny when you’ve seen it up close in healthcare. It’s that exact Momish mix of humor and reality: we can be joking one minute and deeply reflective the next because that’s what modern motherhood feels like.  The heart of the episode is the mom confessions and the parenting dilemmas nobody solves for you. Kids eating dog food, leaving the house with two kids, the gas station question, and how “just bring them” ignores the two-hour prep it takes to do anything. We also share the bittersweet emotions of watching babies grow up, navigating discipline and biting, and finally winding down with skincare in your 30s, hormonal acne, rebuilding your skin barrier, and the one thing we’ll always preach: daily SPF.

Gentle Parenting and Other Personal Attacks

A single song lyric can do more than make us emotional, it can make us realize how much we’ve been carrying since childhood. We start with our usual Momish chaos (pets judging us, husbands doing questionable things, and the kind of bathroom talk you only have with close friends), then we get real about the moment parenting shines a spotlight on your past. That feeling of becoming a mother before you ever felt fully mothered can be subtle, even when you had a “good childhood,” and it can still change how you see yourself. We talk oldest daughter syndrome, parentification, and the strange pressure of being the responsible one early on. We also get into what it looks like when family dynamics are complicated: custody battles, blurred parent-child roles, and the long tail of generational parenting habits. Then we bring it to the present with toddler emotions, defiance, and the constant balancing act of validating big feelings while still teaching your kid how to handle them. From there, we shift to marriage after kids and why we hate the social media narrative that your relationship is destined to suck for years. Yes, a baby changes the dynamic, but it doesn’t magically “get better” without effort. We share what’s helped us most, including venting vs fixing, simple communication check-ins, and staying on the same team when you’re both tired. If you care about gentle parenting, postpartum relationship advice, and breaking generational cycles without spiraling into perfectionism, this one will land.
