The Three-Hour Mom Debate, Trying to Do It All (and Why It's Exhausting), and Saying Goodbye to Season One

The Three-Hour Mom Debate, Trying to Do It All (and Why It's Exhausting), and Saying Goodbye to Season One

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2611019/fan_mail/new] Jordan and Yassi are closing out Season One with an honest conversation about one of the biggest parenting questions: how much time are we actually spending with our kids? Inspired by a headline about a CEO who calls herself a "three-hour-a-week mom," the conversation dives into parent guilt, work travel, daycare drop-offs, school phone calls that instantly raise your blood pressure, and the impossible balancing act of being present for your family while also showing up for yourself. Along the way, Jordan and Yassi share their own experiences navigating career ambitions, motherhood, pregnancy, parenting in a digital world, and the reality that there is no perfect formula for raising kids. The takeaway? Give yourself some grace, reflect on how you're spending your time, and remember that quality matters just as much as quantity. To wrap up the season, they look back on the journey of launching Moms Off Mute, thank the incredible team behind the podcast, and celebrate making it to Episode 10 with a lot more listeners than they ever expected. Homework this week: Take a moment to reflect on how you spend time with your kids, your family, and yourself. No guilt. Just reflection. Thank you for listening to Season One of Moms Off Mute.

The Sandwich Generation, YouTube Shorts, and Jordan's Mom Crashes the Podcastpisode

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2611019/fan_mail/new] Jordan and Yassi are wrapping up the season with one of their most fun episodes yet, and Jordan's mom steals the show. First up: a follow-up on YouTube with everything you actually need to know about YouTube, YouTube Kids, YouTube TV, and YouTube Shorts broken down in plain parent language. Then the conversation shifts to the sandwich generation, what it really means to be caught between raising your own kids while checking in on your parents' digital literacy, too, and it's all on your shoulders. And then Jordan calls her mom live on the podcast. Her mom picks up. It goes exactly how you'd expect. From AIM screen names to Facebook test runs, Jordan's dad being the original Mentor parent, and a story about a mom who was out partying until midnight and not answering her phone, this one is equal parts wholesome and chaotic. Homework this week: call your parents. Ask them how they decided when to give you your first device. And while you're at it, make sure they know what a phishing email looks like. See you for the season finale next week. This is Moms Off Mute. Listen on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

YouTube Kids, and the Algorithm: What Every Parent Should Know Before Pressing Play

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2611019/fan_mail/new] From Doodle Jump to Miss Rachel, Jordan and Yassi take a trip through their own YouTube origin stories before diving into the big question every parent is wrestling with: how should you actually use YouTube with your kids? Yassi opens up about why she was hesitant to introduce YouTube Kids to her son, including the Scary Momo controversy that had parents everywhere on high alert. Jordan shares how YouTube Kids became a lifeline during pregnancy, and why letting the algorithm learn your kid's habits can actually work in your favor. Plus: the differences between YouTube, YouTube Kids, and YouTube TV (yes, they are three different things), why grandma's question deserved its own episode, how Tubi became a Saturday-morning Flintstones ritual, and the case for calling your aunt for her spaghetti recipe instead of just Googling it. Homework this week: think about when you first discovered Online Videos and what role you want them to play in your family's digital life. No wrong answers. Real talk, real parents, real questions.

Screen Time, Solo Parenting, and Why Family Movie Night Needs a Reset

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2611019/fan_mail/new] Jordan is running on no sleep, and Yassi just got back from a yoga retreat, and somehow they're both here. And somewhat present. This episode gets real fast. From using gaming as a decompression tool vs whatever breathwork is, Jordan and Yassi open up an important conversation about solo parenting and the parts of digital family life nobody talks about. If you're managing screens, schedules, and kids without a full support system, this one's for you. Plus- what a scene from Apple TV's Platonic taught them about family screen time, why everyone sitting on the sofa with headphones watching different things is not actually movie night, and the simple trick Jordan uses so her kids never fight over what to watch. Real, relatable, and zero judgment. This is Moms Off Mute. New episodes every Wednesday. Listen on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

From Smart Speakers going off at 4 am to noise-canceling earbuds for overstimulated moms, the conversation is as real and relatable as ever.
