On this episode, we kick things off with a fun but important chat inspired by @twolittlestolove’s viral reel; yes, we’re talking beach and pool toy manners! Because let’s be honest, teaching our kids how to play respectfully in public spaces is one of those small-but-mighty life skills that sets the tone for lifelong kindness and boundaries. Then we dive into a conversation about homeschooling; what it looks like for our families, what we’ve learned along the way, and how we’re weaving values like self-worth, emotional regulation, and curiosity into the heart of our children’s education. Whether you’re homeschooling full-time, after-schooling, or just curious about what a values-based approach to learning looks like, this one’s for you. Enjoy!

On this episode we’re diving deep and keeping it real—from those flawless filtered selfies to navigating the toddler birthday party pressure. First up, let’s spill the tea on those cringe-worthy moments when we see ourselves in distorted looking photos and the ‘minor’ touch-ups we make in editing. Next, we’re tackling the whirlwind of birthday party chaos: from that picture-perfect balloon arch to the inevitable overthinking of goody bags. We’ll explore the weighty expectations we mamas place on ourselves to conjure up magic for our little ones. Magic moments of Memorial Day weekend, (spoiler: the bubble machine is definitely stealing the spotlight). And just when you thought we’d keep it light, we’re throwing in a twist of true crime: yes, we’re finally unpacking the New England serial killer who’s been making headlines—why this one feels so unsettlingly close to home and possibly just… luteal. Enjoy!

On this episode of ‘Geriatric’ Mamas, we’re diving deep into all things motherhood—navigating the wild ride of parenting while trying to keep your sanity intact. We spill the tea on our community activities and family escapades, from digging in the dirt to outdoor bonding that’ll make you wish you had more than just a porch plant.

We’re sharing #MomTok stories that will have you laughing, crying, and questioning your own life choices—because who knew teaching kids about responsibility could spiral into a full-blown adventure? We’ll tackle the fun chaos of real life with our little ones, dig into the significance of summer safety (because we know summer is basically one big playground hazard), and shine a light on how a little kindness between moms can go a long way.

Plus, we’re chatting about the weight of generational trauma and how it impacts parenting today. Tune in for a #MomTok conversation that'll leave you feeling empowered to nurture both your kids' hearts and your own! Enjoy!
