    80: Summer Vibes in This Season of Motherhood
    May 27 2026
    This week’s episode is basically a big summer catch-up with your internet besties ☀️🤍

    We’re talking all about the vibes we’re bringing into this season of motherhood, the little things making life feel good lately, and what summer is realistically looking like for us right now as busy moms.

    From slower mornings and pool days to family routines, summer plans, trying to romanticize everyday life a little more, and finding joy in the small moments, this episode felt like such a fun and cozy conversation.
    We also talk about:
    • what we want this summer to feel like
    • balancing motherhood while still enjoying the season ourselves
    • realistic summer routines Jacqui & Ashley
    • making memories without pressuring ourselves to do “the most”
    • embracing slower, simpler moments
    • the little things currently bringing us joy ☀️
    This episode is definitely more lighthearted and chatty, but honestly it also became such a sweet reminder that life doesn’t have to be perfect to feel really good.
    If you’re in your “trying to enjoy the season I’m in” era, come hang out with us 🤍
    We’re so happy you’re here.
    xoxo

  • 79: Your Expectations Are Your Responsibility

    79: Your Expectations Are Your Responsibility
    May 13 2026
    Have you ever been upset with someone… and they had absolutely no idea why? 😅 This week, we’re talking all about expectations, disappointment, communication, and the quiet resentment that can build when we expect people to show up in ways we never actually communicated. Because if we’re being honest, so many of us do this. We assume people think like us. Love like us. Show up like us. And when they don’t, it can leave us feeling hurt, frustrated, disappointed, or unseen. In this episode, we’re unpacking the unspoken “rules” we sometimes create in our own heads and how those silent expectations can affect our friendships, relationships, family dynamics, and even motherhood.

    We talk about:
    • expecting people to mind-read
    • projecting our standards and effort onto others
    • resentment quietly building over time
    • communicating needs clearly instead of hoping people “just know”
    • the difference between boundaries and expectations
    • accepting people for who they are instead of trying to change them
    One of the biggest things we kept coming back to in this conversation was this: people aren’t always failing you… sometimes they’re simply being who they are. And while that can sting, it also gives you clarity. This episode felt like such an important reminder that peaceful relationships usually come from clear communication, honest expectations, and taking responsibility for what we accept instead of trying to control how others show up. If you’ve been feeling disappointed by people lately or stuck in cycles of resentment, we think this conversation will really resonate with you 🤍

    We’re so happy you’re here. xoxo Jacqui & Ashley

  • 78:The Emotional Weight Women and Mothers Carry

    78:The Emotional Weight Women and Mothers Carry
    May 6 2026
    With Mother’s Day coming up, we wanted to sit down and have a really honest conversation about something that so many women and moms are carrying, but don’t always have the words for.

    The emotional weight of it all.

    If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, constantly “on,” mentally drained, or like you’re the one holding everything together behind the scenes, this episode is for you.

    We’re talking about the invisible load. The mental checklist that never shuts off. Being the default person everyone comes to. And how exhausting it can feel to always be thinking five steps ahead.

    We also get into the emotional side of it. Holding space for everyone else’s feelings and attempting to stay calm and regulated even when you’re overwhelmed.

    And then there’s the motherhood layer. Carrying your kids’ emotions like they’re your own. The guilt, even when you’re doing your best. Showing up every day even when you’re running on empty. And quietly wondering who you are outside of being “mom.”

    We talk about the parts people don’t always see too. Doing so much and still feeling like it’s not enough. Feeling unacknowledged. Feeling alone in it sometimes.

    There’s a moment in this episode where we say something that really hit for us: Sometimes it’s not that we need help, we just don’t want to be the one responsible for everything.

    If that resonates, you’re not alone in that feeling. This conversation is here to remind you that you’re not too much. You might just be carrying too much.

    And you don’t have to do it all to be enough. We’re right here with you 🤍
