Episode 17: Third Trimester with Baby #3: Real Talk + Home Birth Preparation Part 2

Episode 20: Growing Up in the 90s and Raising Kids in 2026

Did we really grow up drinking from the garden hose, riding bikes until the streetlights came on, and disappearing for hours without our parents knowing exactly where we were? Yes. Yes, we did. In this episode of The Tuckered Mama Podcast, I’m taking a nostalgic look back at what childhood was like in the 90s and comparing it to parenting in 2026. From screen-time limits and milestone tracking to gentle parenting and social media pressures, today’s parents are navigating challenges that our parents never had to think about. But does that mean parenting is harder now, or just different? Join me as I share funny childhood memories, compare parenting styles across generations, and discuss how parenting has evolved over the years. In this episode, we’ll talk about: • 90s childhood memories that would shock parents today • How parenting styles have changed • Modern parenting worries and pressures • Screen time, technology, and social media • Things our parents got right • Whether we’re overthinking parenting in 2026 If you’re a fellow 90s kid, parent, or just love a good dose of nostalgia, this episode is for you!

Episode 19: Traveling with Toddlers: Choas, Snacks and Survival Mode

Traveling with toddlers is NOT for the weak. In this solo episode of The Tuckered Mama Podcast, I'm talking about the real side of traveling with little kids — the packing chaos, snack negotiations, car ride meltdowns, solo parenting moments, overstimulation, mental load, forgotten items, disrupted routines, and everything in between. Because somehow a “simple weekend trip” turns into packing half your house while trying to keep tiny humans alive and entertained. In this episode I'm chatting about: • The invisible mental load moms carry while traveling • Packing stress & forgetting things • Car ride survival mode with toddlers • Traveling while solo parenting • Expectations vs. reality of family trips • Mom guilt, overstimulation & exhaustion • Practical toddler travel survival tips • Finding joy in the chaos of this season If you’ve ever felt exhausted before the vacation even started… this episode is for you. You are not alone in the chaos, mama.
