Episode 10: The Moms Behind the Mic

Episode 10: The Moms Behind the Mic

Episode 10: The Moms Behind the Mic You asked. We delivered. After nine episodes of sharing parenting fails, survival tips, questionable wisdom, and plenty of chaos, we’re finally turning the microphones on ourselves. In this episode, Casey and Tasha pull back the curtain and share the stories that made us who we are. From childhood memories and awkward teenage years to motherhood, careers, relationships, and everything in between, we’re getting real about the women behind Moms Against Mommin. We’re talking about: * Who we were before kids * Who we are now * Our families, careers, passions, and pet peeves * What motherhood changed about us * The habits we’d rather not admit to * What we’re working on, what we’re becoming, and what we miss about our former selves Plus, we’re serving up our Mic Check Mocktail and sharing plenty of laughs, stories, and unexpected truths along the way. Fair warning: there may be a few tears mixed in with the laughter as we reflect on where we’ve been, what we’ve overcome, and the women we’re still becoming. If you’ve ever wondered who Casey and Tasha really are when the microphones are off, this episode is for you. Consider this your backstage pass to the chaos, the heart, and the personalities behind Moms Against Mommin.

Episode 9: Summer Survival

Episode 9: “Summer Survival” is here and we are officially entering the chaos carousel of summer break. In this episode of Moms Against Mommin, Casey and Tasha dive into the reality of surviving summer with kids home 24/7. From the immediate collapse of routines and screen time rules to the nonstop “I’m bored” soundtrack playing in the background of our lives, we’re talking about ALL of it. We get honest about: • the stress of summer camps, costs, and logistics • trying to balance independence with worrying when kids stay home alone • snack budget bankruptcy • sibling fights, chore battles, and survival mode parenting • why vacations somehow turn moms into unpaid cruise directors We’re also sharing practical summer survival ideas including affordable activities, boredom busters, check-in systems for older kids, and ways to lower the pressure when summer doesn’t look Pinterest-perfect. And of course… there’s a cocktail involved. This week’s drink is “The Summer Camp Slushie” because if we survived the group text from camp counselors and the 47th snack request of the day… we earned it. Summer may not be peaceful, organized, or aesthetic… but it can still be meaningful. x - Casey & Tasha

Episode 8: Side Eyes & Screen Time

This week, Casey & Tash tackle the modern parenting circus known as screen time. The good, the bad, the “just one more episode,” and the side eyes moms give each other while secretly handing over an iPad to survive dinner prep. From educational apps and FaceTiming grandparents to total meltdowns when the tablet battery hits 1%, the girls unpack how screens have become both a lifeline and a landmine in parenting. Casey also shares major takeaways from The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt and why today’s phone-based childhood is affecting kids in ways many parents never expected. This episode dives into: • screen addiction for kids AND adults • attitude changes and post-screen meltdowns • social media pressure and comparison culture • hidden apps, burner phones, and online safety concerns • the scary realities of sexting laws and digital communication • how other countries are responding to youth social media use • and how moms are all just trying to survive in a world changing faster than we can Google parental controls There’s humor, honesty, uncomfortable truths, and a few moments where you may immediately want to check your child’s screen time report… and your own. Grab your Burner Phone Bull Cocktail and join Casey & Tash for a conversation that’s equal parts hilarious, eye-opening, and painfully relatable. “To raising kids in a world we’re still trying to understand.” x - Casey & Tasha

Bonus: Mother's Day Quickie

Happy Mother’s Day to the moms, stepmoms, bonus moms, dog moms, grandmas, and the women out here holding the whole circus together with cold coffee and pure determination. This bonus quickie episode is all about our BIG rebrand reveal because after some soul searching… we realized our old branding was giving “waiting room beige” and that simply was not the vibe.  We are bold. Loud. Bright. Slightly chaotic. Occasionally overstimulated. So naturally… jewel tones, vibrant colors, and cheetah print entered the chat. We’re celebrating the launch of our brand new website at momsagainstmommin.com [http://momsagainstmommin.com] and inviting YOU to be part of it. Send us your confessions, advice questions, mom fails, hot takes, collab ideas, or literally anything else rattling around in your mom brain. We just want to connect with our people. We also chatted about our Mother’s Day collaboration with Yoga Democracy and YD Athleisure Indianapolis for our giveaway where one lucky winner gets a TWO-PIECE OUTFIT of their choice. We’re actually wearing some of their pieces in this video and honestly… comfy, cute, and mom-life approved.  And if you don’t win the giveaway, we still got you. Use promo code MOMSQUAD for 30% OFF at yogademocracy.com [http://yogademocracy.com]. Your leggings deserve a little main-character energy too. We talked about our favorite ways to spend Mother’s Day, the Mother’s Days we’ll never forget, and what actually makes us feel appreciated beyond wilted gas station flowers and a last-minute card signed in crayon five minutes before brunch. It’s fun. It’s honest. It’s colorful. Just like where Moms Against Mommin is headed next. x - Casey & Tasha

Episode 7: When the Mom Math Ain't Mathin

Somewhere between “it was on sale” and “they’ll use it eventually,” we’ve all become a little too fluent in Mom Math… and this episode, we’re finally showing our work. We’re diving into the hilarious (and slightly alarming) financial gymnastics we use to justify everything from daily coffees to family vacations, and breaking down what those small “it’s fine” moments actually add up to. Spoiler: the math is… not mathin. But we don’t stop at calling ourselves out. We get into the real stuff… the pressure to keep up, the quiet comparison of “they have more than we did,” and the fear underneath it all. Are we overcorrecting from our own childhoods? Trying to give our kids everything… but maybe missing what actually matters? We also talk practical ways to rein it in without becoming the “no fun” mom. Think budgeting hacks, meal planning, clothing swaps, and teaching our kids what things actually cost (yes, even when it’s uncomfortable). Plus, a real conversation around financial literacy, delayed gratification, and whether we’re raising kids who understand value… or just expect it. This episode’s cocktail, The Mom Math Margarita, is the perfect companion… because if we’re counting anything, it’s definitely drinks over dollars. At the end of the day, it’s not about raising kids who have everything. It’s about raising kids who can handle not having everything. So cheers to busted budgets, big dreams, and doing our best to raise grounded, grateful humans… even if the numbers don’t always add up.  x - Casey & Tasha
