In this inspiring and deeply honest episode of Between Us Moms, we sit down with world-renowned climber Emily Harrington—a 5-time U.S. National Champion and the first woman to successfully free climb Yosemite’s iconic Golden Gate route on El Capitan in a single day. Known for redefining what’s possible both on and off the wall, Emily has built a career on resilience, ambition, and pushing limits—and now, she’s navigating her most transformative role yet: motherhood. (And yes—her documentary Girl Climber was recently nominated for a Sports Emmy.) In this conversation, Emily opens up about how becoming a mom has fundamentally reshaped her identity, her priorities, and what fulfillment looks like in this new season of life. Once driven by clear career milestones and the pressure of a ticking biological clock, she shares how intentional she was about the timing of motherhood—and how much her perspective has shifted since welcoming her son in 2022. Now on the other side, she reflects on the unexpected joy and clarity she’s found, describing herself as “super happy” in a way she didn’t fully anticipate. We also dive into the persistent question so many women face: Can you really have it all? Emily offers a candid and refreshing take, calling the expectation itself an “exhausting narrative.” Instead, she explores how motherhood has redefined what “having it all” even means—and why that definition is allowed to evolve over time. This episode is a thoughtful exploration of ambition, identity, and the quiet (and not-so-quiet) transformations that come with becoming a parent. Emily speaks to the tension between striving and surrendering, and how motherhood doesn’t just add to your life—it reshapes what you want from it entirely. If you’ve ever felt caught between who you were and who you’re becoming, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, grounded, and more at ease with the ever-evolving nature of it all.

This week’s episode dives into a few stories that feel very online at first, but quickly turn into bigger conversations about parenting, media accountability, and where culture is shifting right now. We start with Brenda Song calling out Alaska Airlines after a flight experience that hit a nerve for a lot of parents. She booked six months in advance and still got separated from her child. And that’s where we had to pause, because if you’ve ever flown with a toddler, you already know sitting together is not a preference, it’s survival. We get into why airlines treating seat assignments like “suggestions” feels completely disconnected from reality, and why separating a parent from a young child isn’t just inconvenient, it can quickly become everyone’s problem. Then we shift into the story that completely took over reality TV this week. Just days before premiere, ABC pulled an entire filmed season starring Taylor Frankie Paul after resurfaced footage from a 2023 domestic incident sparked immediate backlash. While the case itself was already public and even documented through police body cam footage, this newly surfaced video added a level of visibility that changed everything. We break down what was shown, why the reaction was so fast, and what it means that executives chose to scrap a project reportedly worth tens of millions of dollars. But the bigger question we keep coming back to is how it got this far in the first place. With her past already known, critics are asking whether ABC knowingly cast controversy for ratings and whether this cancellation is actually accountability or just damage control after the fact. Because this isn’t just internet drama, it involves alleged violence, a child present, and very real consequences. And finally, we dive into a new global study that reveals a surprising shift in how Gen Z men view relationships, marriage, and gender roles. The numbers don’t exactly match the narrative we’ve all been told about younger generations being more progressive, and the gap between Gen Z men and women is noticeable. We talk through what’s behind this shift, what it might mean long term, and why it’s sparking so much conversation right now.

Former Bachelor Nation fan favorite Amanda Stanton joins Between Us Moms for a candid conversation about motherhood, marriage, and the unexpected path that changed her life. Amanda opens up about how appearing on The Bachelor shifted her future even though her older daughters barely remember she was ever on the show. She reveals why she hasn’t watched the franchise for years, why she plans to tune in for the upcoming season starring Taylor Frankie Paul, and why she believes the series was “due to switch something up.” The mom of three also gets refreshingly honest about parenting teenagers, navigating middle school drama, and the emotional challenge of watching your kids go through real-life social struggles. Amanda shares the advice she gives her daughters when they feel left out — and why she sometimes gets more upset than they do. Plus, Amanda reveals: Why her girls would be mortified to watch her Bachelor season The surprising reality show she could have joined (The Real Housewives of Orange County) — and why she said no Why she’s excited to watch Ashley Iaconetti on The Real Housewives of Rhode Island The unexpected way she met her husband Michael Fogel just days after a breakup and why he's girl dad goals now Her relatable idea of a perfect date What dinner time looks like in her house -- spoiler alert: it's chaotic in the best way Her honest advice for single moms dating again who are looking very their happily ever after Whether baby #4 could be in the future (even though pregnancy is so rough for her) Amanda also reflects on raising her older daughters as a young single mom, how motherhood has changed over the years and why she's a different type of mom now, and why she’s fiercely protective of their privacy now that they’re teenagers. Episode Note: This episode was recorded prior to the recent domestic violence allegations involving Taylor Frankie Paul. Whether you’re a longtime Bachelor Nation fan, a mom navigating the tween and teen years, someone thinking of adding another baby to the family or a single mom hoping to find love after heartbreak, this conversation is full of honesty, humor, and relatable moments.

Katie opens up about a tough potty-training moment that left her feeling like a “bad mom” and more emotional than she expected. But the week wasn’t all tears—she also filled her cup by saying yes to an inspiring event for International Women’s Day featuring Amanda Kloots.

You first fell in love with her on Degrassi: The Next Generation and the CW's 90210, but today Shenae is opening up about why her time in Hollywood felt “traumatizing,” how fame in the peak tabloid era shaped her identity, and why she doesn’t necessarily want her daughter to follow in her footsteps. Now raising two kids with husband Josh, Shenae shares what life really looks like in this season: being the default parent, building her clothing brand Two Halves, dreaming about writing a book, and redefining success on her own terms -- and what new dreams she has.

In this deeply moving and transformational episode of Between Us Moms, we sit down with actress, single mom of two boys, and Earth School founder Autumn Reeser for one of the most raw, spiritual, and empowering conversations we’ve ever had on the podcast. Autumn opens up about leaving her marriage when her children were just babies — stepping into single motherhood while navigating heartbreak, identity shifts, and the overwhelming weight of rebuilding her life from the ground up. She describes the moment her awakening truly began: “By the time I was 30, I had the career, the house, the husband, the baby… and I felt like I woke up in somebody else’s life.” From the outside, she had checked every box society tells women will make them happy — but internally, something felt deeply misaligned. That realization took her on a journey that has allowed her to reclaim her voice, her truth, and her power. Autumn shares that she left her marriage when her boys were just 3 years old and 11 months old — stepping into one of the hardest seasons of her life. “There were so many moments where I was like… I can’t do this. This is too hard.” She speaks candidly about the isolation of early single motherhood: “The isolation of trying to keep two small children alive… it was so intense.” She reflects on the small apartment where she raised them during those years: “I burst into tears in their room… because that’s where the hardest parts of my journey were.” But on the other side of that season came perspective — and pride. “There was part of me that was like… we did it. We’re here.” One of the most powerful themes of the episode is emotional alchemy — transforming pain into growth. “When you’ve received heartbreak and betrayal… the gift is learning how to bring it back to love.” She explains the philosophy behind her platform Earth School — the belief that life itself is our classroom: “You’re in the classroom of the Divine at every moment.” And the shift that changed everything: “I moved from being a victim of my life… to being a co-creator of it.” Autumn offers deeply compassionate encouragement for women currently navigating divorce, healing, or solo parenting: “Take your time. Be gentle with yourself. You don’t have to do it all at once... If I could go back, I would be gentler with myself about needing to be healed right now.” And one of the most grounding reminders for overwhelmed moms: “Just take a breath. Is everyone alive? Did everyone eat? Okay… it’s okay.” She shares a simple but powerful practice for mothers in survival mode: “Put your hand on your heart and give yourself the love you’re looking for outside of yourself.” Autumn also speaks to the mental load so many moms carry — fear about the future, anxiety about the world our kids are growing up in. Her grounding philosophy: “Depression lives in the past. Anxiety lives in the future. The remedy is found in the here and now... The future is created from right now.” As a mother of two sons, Autumn is deeply intentional about the kind of men she’s raising: “I’m not raising children… I’m raising future men.” She prioritizes teaching consent, emotional awareness, and respect from an early age — even on the playground. After years focused on healing and motherhood, Autumn shares she’s finally open to partnership again: She wants divine union and she's ready! “Sacred love… or don’t give it to me.” Autumn also reflects on the career choices she made to prioritize her boys: “There were roles I didn’t get to play… you have to let it sting...” Her transformational community, Earth School, is designed to help women heal, awaken, and reclaim their narratives in the middle of real life — not outside of it. “How do we walk a path of awakening in everyday life… when we’re busy?” Through classes, calls, and community, Earth School helps women come back home to themselves. ✨ This episode is for you if you’re navigating: • Divorce or separation • Single motherhood • Identity loss after kids • Dating after heartbreak • Healing betrayal • Spiritual growth • Reclaiming your voice • Overwhelm in early motherhood If you’ve ever felt like you woke up in the wrong life… this conversation will help you find your way back to your own.

On this episode of Between Us Moms, we’re joined by Kitty Brandtner, the founder of March Fourth, a nonpartisan movement fighting for a federal ban on assault weapons. After the Highland Park shooting on July 4th, 2022, Kitty woke up the next morning — heartbroken, angry, and unwilling to go back to “normal.” In her words, “I woke up on the 5th of July and was like, really spicy and pissed… I just wanted to go to D.C. and scream at the top of my lungs that I want a federal ban on assault weapons.” She posted her email on Instagram, took a deep breath (and a Xanax), went to bed — and woke up to more than 300 messages from people across the country who felt the same way. From that moment, March Fourth was born — a movement formed by accident, powered by hope. In this conversation, Kitty shares what motivated her to take that first step, why March Fourth has stayed intentionally nonpartisan (“We’re not here to tell you how to vote — we’re here to ask if you believe we should end mass shootings”), and what it will really take to get a federal assault weapons ban through Congress. She also offers simple, concrete actions that any of us — from our own homes — can take to help move the needle on gun safety. This episode is raw, motivating, and full of heart — a reminder that you don’t need to be an expert or an activist to make a difference. Sometimes, you just have to decide you can’t go back to work tomorrow. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, we’re joined by TLC’s Seeking Sister Wife stars April and Jen Davis for a candid conversation about family, love, and what life really looks like behind the scenes of their plural marriage. The couple opens up about the arrival of their daughter, Charlene “Charlie” — who made her debut a week early — and how they’re adjusting to life with a newborn. “Two is a lot different than one,” Jen laughs, as they share how they’re finally getting some sleep, “looking out for each other,” and soaking in the joy of their growing family. Jen also talks about how she’s doing postpartum, giving full credit to the “love and support” she’s surrounded by every day. But one name that doesn’t come up as the ladies talk about their family unit is Theresa, whose relationship with April, Jen, and Nick is featured this season. April hints that there are plenty of “ups and downs” with her and teases that fans will have to watch and see what happens. Still, she’s quick to make it clear that their family is “extremely happy” as things stand today. April and Jen also take listeners back to the beginning, opening up about how their relationship started as a friendship and evolved into the foundation of their plural family. They explain why it “made more sense” for April and Jen to be legally married to one another, how they balance work and finances with Nick staying home, and the teamwork that goes into making their family dynamic work day to day. From handling public criticism — and even pushback from extended family — to talking about growing old together and making retirement plans as “lifers,” the Davises share how they stay grounded and connected through it all. They even get into the details fans love: their sleeping arrangements, the infamous “boom boom room,” and how they made sure their new home could fit their 13-foot custom bed. And yes — they’re still open to growing their family. Jen reveals she and April are back on the dating apps, and the two share what it’s really like to find a potential match in their unique situation. Plus, they tease what viewers can expect from the rest of this season of Seeking Sister Wife, airing Mondays at 9/8c on TLC.

This week on the podcast, Hallie reveals why she can’t stop crying. The mom of two was most recently brought to tears while binge-watching Netflix’s Love Is Blind and again after she and her husband had to cut down a tree in their backyard. Hallie also reflects on her first-ever experience taking professional photos with her extended family—something she lovingly refers to as a “clusterfuck.” After getting together with a group of her friends last week, she even has a homework assignment for all the mamas tuning in. Meanwhile, Katie is riding the struggle bus after her youngest daughter, Emma, decided she’s officially done with the two-nap life. Katie, who’s been trying her best to keep her girls on a synced-up schedule, is having to let go of the reins a bit (at her husband’s request). But that’s not the only battle she’s facing. Katie also has a bone to pick with technology after getting a new iPhone—and a conversation about passwords with her husband left her jaw on the floor! Hallie and Katie weigh in on the topic of being a stay-at-home mom and the loss of financial autonomy after one mom, Jessie, went viral for her post describing the uneasy shift from being a “boss mom” and earning her own income to making none in order to stay home with her kids. Jessie, who ran her own business and maintained financial independence, realized that balancing everything left her drained. Eventually, she chose to close her business and restructure their finances so both partners’ efforts—paid and unpaid—supported the family together. But she admitted that even small purchases can become emotionally loaded and her story resonated deeply with parents who recognized the same tension. Now Hallie and Katie are giving their two cents. The besties also applaud Cardi B, who recently chatted with Jay Shetty on his On Purpose podcast and explained just how deeply prenatal depression affected her during pregnancy after her marriage to Offset fell apart. Cardi described what so many mothers experience quietly: a deep sense of isolation and uncertainty about the future. She admitted that thoughts of raising her baby alone and losing her partner’s companionship left her feeling a deep sadness. Now, Hallie and Katie want to give the Grammy winner her flowers for being so open—helping others feel seen and reminding the world that expecting mothers deserve compassion and support.

Meanwhile, Briana DeJesus from Teen Mom shared several videos on Snapchat showing her and her 14-year-old daughter, Nova, getting matching nose piercings for Nova’s birthday.

This week on the podcast, Hallie and Katie talk about their fears regarding AI after Elon Musk's company, XAI, announced they are developing a kid-friendly AI app called "Baby Grok." This app is an offshoot of the Grok AI chatbot and is designed to be a safe and engaging experience for children. While details are still emerging, the app is expected to have kid-safe controls and will likely be a standalone application. But the mamas aren’t convinced it’s a good idea, worrying that the long-term negative implications AI will have on children's developing minds will be profound. The ladies also share a one-year postpartum check-in. Hallie gave birth to her second child 14 months ago, while Katie is celebrating her daughter’s first birthday this weekend. The besties give themselves grades on how they feel they are doing mentally, physically, and emotionally. Hallie feels she has the most work to do mentally and physically, while Katie says there is room for improvement emotionally.

Meanwhile, Hallie reveals the bizarre NSFW injury she endured 5 minutes before recording.

This week on the podcast, Hallie and Katie dive into the pros and cons of having back-to-back babies. The discussion comes after Vanessa Hudgens announced she's expecting her second child with husband Cole Tucker. The couple tied the knot in 2023 and welcomed their first child, a daughter, in 2024. Hallie and Katie, both having experience with back-to-back pregnancies, explain some perks, like not having to get your body back twice. However, they admit there are definitely some less-than-fun things to consider, such as being pregnant while caring for a toddler. During this week’s CliffsNotes, Katie shares that she thinks she's gotten to the bottom of Emma’s hot temperament. Meanwhile, Hallie is on a mama high watching her girls, Collins (14 months) and Dylan (3), become best friends. The mom-of-two also reveals she's starting to see the number on the scale drop.

This week on Between Us Moms, Katie and Hallie dive headfirst into the chaos and mania of summer time with kids and the wildness of having toddlers in general -- think rummaging through kitchen drawers, messy homes, why quiet isn't always best -- and the delicate balance of trying to find a moment of peace.

There are lots of new friends joining the "Between Us Moms" community, so in the spirit of getting to know each other a little better, Hallie and Katie are putting their journalism backgrounds to work with a round of fun (and random) questions. The besties dish on how they would spend their ideal day (spoiler alert: both ladies would prioritize coffee, bed rotting and an everything shower), and they open up about what they are most proud of. Katie reveals that she is delighted with the life she has built and feels like she is in a season where she can sit back and reflect on how far she has come. Meanwhile, Hallie says she is proud of her marriage. The mom-of-two has been with her husband for 19 years, and while it hasn't always been perfect, she says they have fought for their love and always choose each other. Hallie and Katie divulge their girl crushes — Katie, fresh off the heels of Jurassic World Rebirth, is jonesing for Scarlett Johansson, while Hallie gives props to Paige DeSorbo. But that's not all. The ladies also reveal a common phrase or saying that they can't stand. For Katie, it's the word "no," and Hallie has an aversion to the saying, "there are no words." But before they dive into their questions, it's all about the CliffsNotes. Katie's daughter, Emma, has a newfound love for splashing around in the family dog's water bowl, and Hallie is weaning off Lexapro, which she started after experiencing postpartum anxiety in 2022.

The Entertainment Tonight correspondent, who welcomed her first child, a daughter named Layla, with husband, Max Wellman, in March, opens up about those first precious moments with her little girl in the hospital and the importance of having female friendships to lean on as she navigates the early days of mamahood. The whole conversation has the ladies in their feels from the jump, as the new mom reflects on the support she has received from friends and her husband, whom Deidre has known since she was a child. The mom-of-one gushes over how he has "exceeded all expectations" when it comes to fatherhood. "He’s so supportive…We really operate as a full-fledged team. I always knew he was a great son, a great brother, a great boyfriend, fiancé, husband, but then seeing him as a father, all bets are off. It is just the most beautiful thing I’ve ever witnessed." Also in her corner are some of Hollywood’s biggest stars! Deidre opens up about a few of the celeb mamas she interviewed while she was pregnant, including Ashanti and Vanna White, who both gave her some sweet advice.

Katie gets candid about her post-baby menstrual cycle, revealing that her hormones are raging and she's bleeding for over a week! Hallie doubles down on all that, sharing that her cramps are worse than ever and tampons just don't work like they used to and the ladies wonder if all the postpartum ladies are having epic periods. Hal also admits she had to wear an adult diaper to Beyoncé's 'Cowboy Carter' tour, after catching a cold and cough that had her peeing her pants. But, she's hopeful her vagina is on the mend after enrolling in some serious pelvic floor therapy. The mamas weigh in after Kourtney Kardashian called the American school system 'so dated,' during a new episode of her sister, Khloé Kardashian's podcast, 'Khloé in Wonder Land.' The mom-of-four, who is married to Blink 182 drummer, Travis Barker, made the controversial comment while explaining her need to 'go against the grain' when parenting her blended family. Meanwhile, Kourtney’s sister, Kim Kardashian, is also giving Hallie and Katie something to talk about after SKIMS dropped The Ultimate Pierced Nipple Push-Up Bra. The eye-catching twist on the viral Nipple Bra gives off the edgy look without ever having to feel the pinch of a needle and is set to retail for $74. But… would Hallie and Katie rock it? And the besties give their two cents on the latest decluttering trend: the poop rule. Essentially, the rule is: “If this item was covered in poop, would I still keep it?” And who do we have to thank for this mental image? Lifestyle influencer Amanda Johnson. She called it ‘the easiest way to declutter your home.’ The idea being it clarifies what items you value enough to clean up. But Hallie and Katie aren’t feeling it and would rather subscribe to the Marie Kando method of asking yourself if an item ‘sparks joy.’ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on the podcast, Hallie and Katie recap their Mother's Day weekend. Katie is happy to report that her girls were surprisingly easy and well-behaved at brunch. She also opens up about Emma's 9-month doctor's visit and has some words of encouragement and solidarity for any mama who is feeling anxiety over their little ones hitting their milestones. Meanwhile, Hallie is playing a little game called, "Do I have long COVID or am I just a tired mom?" The mom-of-two jokes that her memory is so bad these days that she actually had to check her calendar app to fact-check the year (she was convinced it was 2026). Katie admits she's experiencing the same brain fog, and the ladies wonder if their moms felt this way when they were in the thick of raising littles, or if the invention of the smartphone is to blame for our short attention spans and forgetfulness. Hallie and Katie also weigh in on a new parenting trend that's going viral on social media: Type C Parenting. The term was coined by TikTok creator Ashleigh Surratt and plays off the familiar Type A and Type B personalities. Type A is highly organized, structured, and punctual. Type B tends to be more relaxed, spontaneous, and flexible. Type C parents? They're a mashup of both. The ladies reveal their Type C moments and admit that while they are historically Type A personalities, they like the freedom that Type C parenting permits.

This week Katie says Instagram was serving a heavy dose of #relatable facts when she scrolled past a quote about how parenting is basically making plans and praying your kid doesn't get sick and ruin it. The timing couldn't have been better given that it hit her feed the same morning that her almost-one-year-old daughter, Emma, spiked a fever, just in time for Hallie's long-awaited trip to California to meet her. The mamas had been looking forward to the bestie time for months and had lots of fun packed into the 24-hour trip. Ultimately, Hallie decided a little fever wasn't going to stop her from coming. And while Katie's Instagram feed seems to be on point, Hallie is wondering what she did to get inundated with ads on social media for a company that takes your children's baby teeth and turns it into jewelry. It's a hard no for Hallie, who has no plans of keeping her kiddos' teeth after the tooth fairy collects them. As for Katie, she admits her mom kept her baby teeth and they actually came in handy for a science experiment when she was in junior high! The ladies also talk about how often their husbands go out with friends after Katie stumbled upon a Reddit post from a woman who resents her partner for going out when she barely gets out of the house except for the occasional yoga class and therapy. Katie says Jason will have the occasional dinner with friends but is mindful to go after the girls' have gone to bed. The mom-of-two adds that this chapter is all about their core four, and the focus is on being together, so she wouldn't be down for Jason hitting the town for drinks all the time. Hallie explains that for her, it's a no-brainer to let Andrew go golfing with friends once a week in the summer, explaining that it's his hobby, it nourishes his friendships and it fills his cup. But Hallie admits she's only so supportive of his time with friends on the golf course because her husband is equally as encouraging of her finding time to be with her friends and do things that bring her joy outside of the home. But we want to hear from you! Let us know in the comments how you feel about your partner going out!

In this deeply personal conversation, Sarah opens up about why she decided to write a book about her experience with postpartum depression. ‘It burned its way out of my body,’ she tells Hallie and Katie. ‘If writing this book had been illegal and punishable by death I still would have written it.’ Sarah, who experienced PPD after the birth of her first child, Guy, 7, explains that the subject matter felt ‘urgent.’ In the depths of her own depression, Sarah says she searched for literature that might make her feel seen and less alone, but was left empty handed, so writing the memoir felt ‘non-negotiable,’ adding that it was coming out of her body ‘one way or another.’ In the book, Sarah reveals how having a baby impacted her marriage, delivering an unflinching look at the struggles many couples face in the transition to parenthood. Now, Sarah offers an update on her relationship, saying they have emerged stronger and more connected than ever.

Both of the mamas started their families later in life and now, they are raising babies and toddlers as they enter their 40s.

This week on the podcast, Hallie and Katie dive into the universal experience of mom guilt. Katie explains that she feels the most guilty when she takes time for herself away from her kiddos, even when it's for the betterment of her mental health, like a workout class, or a chore for her family, like a trip to the grocery store. She also has lingering guilt over having a second baby so quickly after her first.

We all go through it, but nobody talks about it. And we should,” she emphasized.

Hallie reveals she is slowly starting to feel like herself again nearly five months after giving birth to her second daughter, Collins. And while she admits most days are "not cute," the mama-of-two credits a lot of her newfound energy to getting more sleep at night (thank you, sleep training)! Meanwhile, Katie, who gave birth to her second daughter, Emma, two months ago, is still in that postpartum haze and vents about the chaos of juggling two kids under two. But despite the feral nature of raising littles, she is quick to focus on the joy it brings her as the ladies discuss a new survey of more than 5,000 mothers from Peanut, an app for those navigating fertility, pregnancy, motherhood, or menopause, that found that 84% of mothers don’t think parenting is accurately portrayed in the content they consume. According to their findings, 91% of moms say they felt more joy and fulfillment than anticipated, and 81% feel there should be more emphasis on the positive aspects of parenthood. Hallie and Katie also weigh in on the Switch Witch, a new Halloween tradition that involves kids trading in candy for gifts.

The professional dancer says she felt a loss of identity when she wasn't asked back for 'Dancing With The Stars' after welcoming son Zane, sharing, 'It was really hard to digest that and so going through all the things that go through your mind when you’re not brought back for a job: rejection, 'what’s wrong with me?,' 'Is it cause I'm a mother now and I'm not sexy?' and 'Can I not do it anymore?' 'I'm not desirable... Maybe they don't think I can dance anymore… all these crazy thoughts that you have.. It was also a complete transition in career and direction that I wasn’t expecting so soon that had me go... ‘’ well who am I?” “Am I just a mom” “Is this all I'm gonna be?” and I hate that I minimize it because being a mom is so ridiculously incredible and hard – it’s the most phenomenal job on the planet..."

The struggle is real! This week on the podcast Hallie and Katie talk about feeling the weight of 'mom brain,' especially in social situations, after new research shows that a woman's brain does in fact change during pregnancy.
