We Didn't Turn Out OK with Jennie Monness

51: Step into the Group Chat


Listen Later

In this episode, I got to Zoom-hang with three women who feel like instant soul-friends: Allison Williams (Girls, M3GAN, Get Out) and her lifelong best friends Hope Kremer (early childhood educator) and Jaymie Oppenheim (therapist).

It’s a four-way Zoom, so it feels exactly like being dropped into a private group chat, the kind where nothing is curated and everything is real. We talk about momming on meds, realistic expectations changing our parenting lives, confidence and bag size (yes, really), the pressure we put on moments that maybe don’t deserve it, and the ways we all carry high stakes without even realizing it.

What surprised me most wasn’t just how honest the conversation was,  it was how familiar it felt. Different lives, different paths, same nervous systems. Same fears. Same gratitude. Same joy. Same constant recalibration of who we are and who we’re becoming as mothers.

And that’s exactly the energy they’re bringing into the world with what they’ve created through Landlines: connection, honesty, and a sense of you’re not doing this alone.

This episode doesn’t need a long explanation.

Just know this:

It feels like listening to a lifelong group text thread between three best friends who became moms -  and suddenly realizing it sounds exactly like your own.

And that’s the magic.
