9 to Thrive Moms

Going from one kid to two; how hard could it be? 

More love, more chaos, more laundry, and somehow less time to think. The invisible load got harder, and the meltdowns have doubled. Cause apparently two kids means two times the work and only one shared brain cell, but somehow the love grows each day infinitely.

After VERY looooooooooooooooong hiatus, we're finally back. And honestly, a lot has happened since we last hit record. We've missed this; we've missed you! We are ready to get back to the honest, slightly chaotic conversations about what it really looks like to be a working mom trying to thrive...or at least survive the day. So grab your coffee, your carpool snacks, or whatever you're hiding from your children cause 9 to Thrive is back!!!

In this episode we’re tackling the big question: Do you really need all that stuff for your baby? We're stripping it down to five essentials, no clutter, just what really helps.

As a working mom, we’ve found that minimalism can be a sanity-saver. We’ll laugh at the ridiculous “must-haves” and focus on what truly supports us. Whether you’re expecting or deep in the juggle, we’ll lighten your load, and maybe your diaper bag too.

This one couldn't wait. Some new stops you in your tracks and takes over the whole conversation. IYKYK.

Crunchy, scrunchy, dragon, helicopter… apparently, motherhood has more “types” than a dating app. In this episode, we break down the big ones, what they mean, and why most of us are a chaotic mix depending on sleep, snacks, and sanity levels. It’s fun, light, and a reminder that there’s no perfect category...just the kind of mom you are today.

This week on 9 to Thrive, we’re talking about work-life balance...or at least, our ongoing pursuit of it. What does balance really look like for working moms? Is it even possible? We’re getting real about the seasons, trade-offs, and small wins that make the juggle worth it.

Breastfeeding is often painted as natural and effortless, but the beginning of the journey is usually a whole lot more complicated, and honestly, a little painful. In this week’s episode, we’re talking about what those early days really look like: the bonding and the breakdowns, the magic and the mess. From figuring out latch and navigating leaky shirts to powering through late-night feeds, it’s all part of stepping into this new season of motherhood. So grab the cookies, and let’s get into it.

Not all mom hacks are created equal. Some are genius, some are… unhinged. We’re breaking down the funniest ones and sharing a few that actually work. 🎙️ #MomLife #9toThrivePodcast

Parenthood has a funny way of turning the tiniest things like pebble ice into major “discussions.” In this episode of 9 to Thrive, we’re chatting about the little friction points that sneak into marriage, the bigger ones that come with parenting and mental health, and why sometimes you just have to laugh through it all.

We left home for new adventures and then had kids, without our usual village nearby. Join us for laughs, chaos, and how we survive parenting from a distance. If you’re parenting far from your tribe, this one’s for you.
