  • Ever wonder how a famous actress from Mad Men and comedian/writer/actor who wrote for and performed on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon handle parenthood? Spoiler: It’s hilarious! 
    In this episode, we sit down with Arthur Meyer and Stephanie Drake who make up the dynamic duo at ABC Parenting (TikTok, YouTube & Instagram) to explore how they’ve turned the chaos of raising kids into comedic gold. Arthur is a comedian, writer, and actor who wrote for and performed on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" for 8 years, and Stephanie is an actress best known as Meredith, Don Draper's ditzy but well-meaning secretary, from the hit TV show "Mad Men". 
    From serious roles to seriously funny parenting bits, they dive into how humor keeps them sane through diaper disasters, tantrum tornadoes, and bedtime battles. Plus, why breaks from parenting are crucial (because who doesn’t need a snack and a scream sometimes?) and how laughter can ease kids' fears and melt down stress.

  • If you’ve ever tried to follow time management advice only to end up stress-eating Oreos in the closet while your to-do list multiplies like laundry piles, this episode is for you. Kendra Adachi joins us to break down why productivity tips were clearly designed for people who don’t have kids, jobs, or the constant mental ping-pong of parenthood. Spoiler alert: traditional advice wasn’t made for women juggling 57 things at once.

    Enter our guest Kendra Adachi, a 2x New York Times bestselling author and host of The Lazy Genius Podcast. She helps people be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don't. And her newest book, The Plan just released! It’s such a game-changer for anyone tired of hearing “just wake up at 5 a.m. to get more done” (because, no). This isn’t about adding more to your already overflowing plate. It’s about figuring out what truly matters and, yes, sometimes prioritizing a nap over cleaning the baseboards.

  • As women, sometimes we feel like we can’t say “no” to others in fear of being resented. But that’s not true! It's hard to say no, it's hard to set those healthy boundaries, but they're definitely necessary for our own well-being.

    In this podcast episode, we push back against that uncomfortable feeling when we have to say “no” to a request (typically from our family or friends) and give you a super easy framework to follow (it’s only 3 steps) to be confident in your boundaries and to let you know that you’re allowed to say “No”, and NOT feel guilty about it!

  • October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, so we’re diving deep into a topic that often flies under the radar: emotional abuse. You might think it’s easy to spot, but the truth? It’s more like trying to find a needle in a haystack. That’s why we’re bringing in Vickie Lynn, a high-conflict co-parenting and divorce coach who reaches back into the fire to help other single mommas sharing custody with an abuser to help us recognize the signs of emotional abuse (because trust us, they can be sneaky).

    So, whether you're in a tough co-parenting situation, trying to protect your kids, or searching for support yourself, this episode is a must-listen. Remember, you’re not alone in this—there’s a community out there ready to help, and it’s time to tap into it.

  • In this episode, we dive into the viral “mom marathon cup” moment—yep, the one where the mom, mid-race, is asked to stop and pick up a cup for her kids, while Dad just watches. Brie’s fuming at the dad (like, seriously?), while JoAnn sees it as a teachable moment for everyone involved. We break down the assumptions we make about moms being the default “fixers” and why that needs to change.

    But it’s not all about the cup! We also share how to teach kids social skills and guide them to make better choices—without you playing the superhero 24/7. Moms, it’s time to ditch the martyr cape and prioritize your well-being while shaping a more balanced family dynamic.

  • Strap in for a delightful rollercoaster of emotions in today’s episode as we dive deep into the bustling world of motherhood, relationships, and the secret spices (literally) that make or break our daily interactions. We’re joined today by Morgan Cutlip, Ph.D., who holds a PhD in Psychology, and is the author of the new book: Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself: 5 Steps to Banish Guilt and Beat Burnout When You Already Have Too Much to Do. Morgan shares the not-so-sparkly side of motherhood and how it's more teamwork than a solo mission. Husbands, take note: "Get in there" isn't just a suggestion—it's a necessity, especially when toddlers turn life into a full-contact sport! Switching gears, Morgan breaks down her dad’s legacy and her own work—the Relationship Attachment Model. Imagine your relationship as a stereo equalizer with sliders for 'know', 'trust', 'rely', 'commit', and 'touch'. Morgan encourages all moms (and dads) to know themselves and their needs. She offers up nuggets of wisdom on managing personal needs without turning into a walking mom-zombie of resentment. It's about finding that sweet spot where self-care meets care for others, without losing yourself to the daily grind.This episode isn’t just a podcast; it’s a survival guide, a therapy session, and a coffee chat with a good friend all rolled into one. Tune in, laugh, learn, and maybe even cry a little as we tackle the wild world of motherhood and relationships with humor, empathy, and expert insight.Resources We Shared:Follow Morgan on Instagram!Join our newsletter!

  • Dive into a world where family secrets are as tangled as a plate of spaghetti!🍝

    In today’s episode, we’re joined by the hilarious Jo Piazza, who is a national and international bestselling author, as well as an editor, columnist, and travel writer. We discuss her deliciously adventurous book, The Sicilian Inheritance - we’re talking murderous family legends, mafia whispers, and why you might start craving cannoli by the second chapter. 

    We don’t just stop there! Jo gives us the lowdown on the "tradwives" phenomenon sweeping the internet. Ever heard of women cosplaying 1950s housewives? Yep, it’s a thing, and it’s as complicated as trying to fold a fitted sheet. We also dive deep into the impact of Jo’s previous work, Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win, on today's political and cultural landscape. She dissects the harsh realities faced by women in the political arena, underscored by the media's biased portrayal and the public's scrutiny—a theme worryingly relevant in our current climate.

    For more insights from Jo Piazza that challenge and redefine women’s roles both past and present, tune into this enlightening episode! Don't forget to check out The Sicilian Inheritance for a story that’s as delicious as the Sicilian cuisine it will make you crave, and revisit Charlotte Walsh Likes To Win to experience the gritty reality of female political campaigns. #SheLikesToWin
