In this week’s episode, we welcome the delightfully honest, hilariously relatable, and unapologetically real Ashleigh Surratt—mom of littles, internet oversharer, and the original Type C Mom. Ashleigh shares the origin story of her viral Type C reel, how she accidentally started a parenting movement, and why giving your toddler a splash pad via flooded kitchen might just be the highlight of summer.

We get into the messy middle of motherhood—from overstimulation and mental breakdown routines (yes, really) to why baking is always a hard no, and how a single reel made thousands of moms feel seen. Ashleigh opens up about her tough-but-rewarding breastfeeding journey, her “fun mom” summer survival guide, and what she hopes to instill in her kids—starting with how they talk to themselves.

If you’ve ever cleaned your house just to destroy it with one chaotic moment, this episode is for you. It’s real, it’s ridiculous, and it’s a whole lot of heart.
