This week, grab your floaties and join us as we tackle two major topics that affect every mom out there: Swim Safety for Kiddos and the dreaded CURSE of Cellulite. First up, Miranda will splash into the topic of swim safety because, let’s face it, toddlers are like mini Aquamen and Aquawomen. They’re fearless when it comes to water, which simultaneously gives us heart attacks and makes us super proud. We’ll share tips, tricks, and probably some hilarious fails from our own poolside adventures. Then, Mel wades into the deep (no pun intended) waters of cellulite—the not-so-pretty reality that no amount of kale smoothies seem to fix. We’ll laugh about the weird creams we’ve tried, the moments we’ve caught our reflection and thought, “Did a waffle iron attack my thigh?” And best of all, Mel will share some legit tips on how to embrace those tiger stripes because, let’s be honest, they’re a part of us now. So, grab your headphones (and maybe a glass of wine, because we’re keeping it real), and join us for this episode that promises to be equal parts informative, hilarious, and, of course, relatable AF. Because in this journey called motherhood, laughter truly is the best swim safety device and the most effective anti-cellulite treatment. See you in the deep end!
