  • Season 2, Ep 2: Which Transition Is the Hardest?
    May 18 2026

    We've all wondered: Which transition is actually the hardest—going from 0 to 1, 1 to 2, or 2 to 3? News Flash: Each stage comes with its special spice!

    In this episode, we compare notes from our own experiences and get honest about what each stage really feels like. From the identity shock of becoming a mom for the first time, to the emotional and logistical chaos of adding more kids, we break down the unique challenges of each transition.

    • Why 0→1 can feel like a complete shock to the system
    • How 1→2 shifts your expectations (and your priorities)
    • Why 2→3 might be the most chaotic… but also the most confident

    If you're pregnant right now, or considering adding another child, or looking for fellow mothers to relate to, this episode is for you.

  • Season 2, Ep 1: What God is Working in Us (Mom Rage, Dysregulation, and Breaking Generational Chains)
    May 11 2026

    Season 2 begins with an extremely vulnerable conversation on what God is working on in us right now-- primarily, mom rage. This isn’t a polished “we’ve figured it all out” conversation. It’s a raw, vulnerable and honest one about sanctification in real time—messy, humbling, and ultimately hopeful.

    In this episode, we talk about identifying our triggers, learning how to regulate our emotions, dealing with the shame and guilt when we fail-- and what it looks like to wrestle through all this mess with God.

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing in motherhood, or thought you're the only one dealing with mom rage, and wondered if God is enough, this episode is for you.
