Description

Someone can be turning one, the house can be covered in party prep, and you can still feel like you’re running on fumes. We’re talking about that exact tension: loving your kids hard while also feeling overstimulated, maxed out, and weirdly emotional about how fast the first year flies by. From explosive toddler chaos to the mental math of managing two schedules, we keep it honest about what motherhood actually feels like on an average “we’re fine” day. We get real about postpartum, especially the version that doesn’t hit right away. Sometimes it shows up months later when you start to feel like yourself again, but your body, hormones, sleep, and routine still don’t match. We talk breastfeeding overstimulation, hot flashes, losing gym time, and why the first year can feel like constant change. If postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, or just plain burnout has ever made you question yourself, you’ll hear your thoughts out loud here. Because we work in healthcare, we also zoom out. Nursing and pediatrics can humble you fast, and it changes how you see parenting, family dynamics, and health. We swap stories, laugh at the awkward moments, and vent about nursing school culture and workplace favoritism, all while circling back to the same point: you’re not failing, you’re living a lot at once. If you like candid mom life conversations with dark humor, real marriage and intimacy talk, and zero perfection, hit subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a laugh, and leave a review so more moms can find us. What part of this one felt the most familiar?

episode Stomach Bugs, Dog Chaos, and Rage Baiting Men artwork

Stomach Bugs, Dog Chaos, and Rage Baiting Men

Something about parenting turns the smallest moment into a full-blown story. We start with the kind of weekend a lot of families know too well: a stomach bug making the rounds, germs everywhere, and the oddly specific chaos of trying to keep one kid healthy while someone else is violently sick. From there, we get into everyday “mom confessions” like pet food theft, high chair messes, and the travel-with-a-baby reality nobody can truly prep you for including the hard lesson that swim diapers do what they do and absolutely do not do what you wish they did. Then we take a sharp left into pop culture, because sometimes a documentary or podcast grabs your brain and won’t let go. We talk about the Love Trapped podcast and how manipulation, false claims, and court drama can leave you furious in your car. We also dig into Netflix’s Maternal Instinct and the terrifying truth behind fetal abduction, plus what it’s like to realize a “rare” crime is still very real. It’s messy, emotional, and the kind of conversation that makes you want to text every friend you have. Work stress ties it all together. We unpack on-call anxiety, night shift burnout, and the way overstimulation follows you home when you’re a nurse and a parent. We also get honest about mom guilt, postpartum body changes, and why confidence can weirdly grow in your 30s even when life feels louder than ever. If you like a funny, unfiltered motherhood podcast that mixes parenting humor with real working-mom truth, hit subscribe, share with a friend who needs the laugh, and leave us a review.

episode Long Poops, Lawn Mowing & Dad Feelings artwork

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. If you laughed, related, or felt seen, subscribe, share this with a parent friend, and leave a review so more moms and dads can find Momish. What’s one piece of advice you’d give a new dad today?

episode Backyard Botox By Gabi artwork

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.

episode Gentle Parenting and Other Personal Attacks artwork

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.
