Hey Friends! In this episode Janni Ayala & Rachel Anastacia sit down with our friend Mia as she talks about her experience with raising 3 boys at the age of 26.

Mia has gone through 3 c-sections, the first one being an emergency when the umbilical chord wrapped around her babies neck; A MOTHER'S FEAR! She also experienced pre-eclampsia after giving birth to her youngest son. Talk about a strong mother!

Mia also talks about raising a son diagnosed with ADHD and the hard decision of getting her son medicated. She says taking this difficult step has helped her mothering while also helping her child. Taking him to therapy multiple times a week with 2 other babies right by her side.

Now Mia is maneuvering through being a stay at home mom, balancing a relationship with her fiancé' in the midst of being a busy mother, and learning to prioritize herself.

We can't express our gratitude enough for Mia allowing herself to come on here and speak her truths for herself and all the women out there raising babies and taking care of themselves.

We hope you enjoy this episode with this guest as incredible as she is.

Janni & Rach

whewww is this a topic that NEEDED to be talked about! let's face it-as woman, we all think about getting "old". one day or another, we are bound to spot the physical changes that come with age, everyone will. but let's remind ourselves that it is all a mindset. rather than fear it, try to accept it. for a very long time, woman have faced countless ends of judgment from others (as well as from themselves) as they have aged. youth is such a sacred thing, and looking and feeling "young" is something that every older person strives for. in this episode, Janni and Rachel speak on their own opinions and viewpoints of aging in society as women and mothers, and what they look forward to as they grow. change is inevitable, so let's not run from it-because as human beings we are supposed to be ever-evolving. that's just life! aging is truly something to be grateful for. as we get the opportunity to live out our lives, watch our children grow older, and do everything we dream of doing. we only get one body in this lifetime of ours, so let's hold onto it and take care of it while we can.💗✨

In this Episode Janni & Rach dive into the proposed "baby bonus" that President Trump is looking to get passed by Congress, which would cost the government $17.6 BILLION to fund.

Since there has been a decline in U.S. births the government is essentially "bribing" women by offering $5000 in exchange for their reproduction. A decline that has occurred AFTER banning abortion in many states and the constant increase on the price of living.

We discuss the risks of getting pregnant, giving birth, and how this proposal for financial compensation is made to make women seem like machines to help fund the economic crisis in the United States, without taking into consideration the many impacts it can have on a woman and these children.

The U.S. government prioritizes our unborn babies but when it comes to the babies that have been born AND their mothers, they are no longer that priority. With no paid leave for parents, expensive healthcare, and millions of children homeless each year and thousands & thousands of children in the foster care system. Make it make sense?

We also mention that the governments want to increase IVF accessibly and affordability and how this is actually a good thing for women who are trying or have been struggling with getting pregnant. As many of us have seen online women sharing their IVF journeys and the constant battle these couples have to go through to reproduce. The government SHOULD help with this!

We want to make it very clear that we are NOT political at all but whenever it comes to women and mothers we have to talk about it. These are things we will discuss with a platform because that is our right.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS?

We hope you enjoy this episode. Hopefully this encourages you to stay informed and speak up for your rights and what you believe in. As women & mothers we must stick together.

Thank You for your support.

Hi mamas! We are back with a very special episode, welcoming our friend Aeja! Aeja is another young milf herself, as well as an educator and photographer. Her son, Nugget (how cute!), is diagnosed with Autism, and in honor of Autism Awareness/Acceptance Month, Aeja is here to share the story of her son's journey, as well as her own. She speaks on her experience upon finding out she was pregnant, up until receiving her son's diagnosis, and what a gift that is! Sharing the importance of advocation and the obstacles she has faced, Aeja shows just how strong of a mother she is...truly such an inspiration. Every child should be lucky enough to have a mother, as well as a community around them, that speaks up for them when they can't, and who will always have their back. This episode shows the true dedication and love of a mama to a child with special needs, and how much of a beautiful thing that is.

In this episode Janni and Rach discuss one the most recent episodes of “Call Her Daddy” hosted by Alex Cooper, who spoke with Chappell Roan. In their discussion they got on the topic of motherhood where she, Chapell Roan, said all parents were in hell, no parent our age is happy and have no lights in their eyes.

Janni and Rach both gave their opinion on the matter while also discussing different point of views on this topic because everyone has a right to their own opinion. Understanding that this “hell” experienced in motherhood can be frustrating and overwhelming while also being fulfilling and full of life.

Of course we are always mentioning personal experiences like Janni not wanting children before getting pregnant (but loves it now), Rachel reliving her childhood through her daughter, forming beautiful relationships with our children and so much more.

We even get on the topic of PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder), an intense form of PMS that not many women realize they experience. This causing women to have around 1 “good” week out of each month and having a major impact on a woman’s mental health… wishing us women were more informed on this.

This episode is full of understand, no judgement, cute interactions with Romeo (Janni’s son), sips of Olipop, and tons of gratitude.

Reminder: People will always have opinions in the decisions YOU make in YOUR life and it's our decision to let that impact us as or choose to be grateful no matter what anyone else thinks.

Thanks for Listening!

Xoxo,

Janni & Rach

Hi mamasss! We are back with Episode 25...hello??? 25?! Is this real life? How grateful are we that we have come so far. And to see the beautiful community of woman and mothers that has grown over the years...it's truly such an amazing thing.

In this episode, Janni & Rach touch base on balancing mom life and work life, all while finding your true passions, and honestly, just figuring it all out. It can be hard for a lot of people to do these things, let alone you're freshly postpartum as a first time mom, or you have six kids. It will always be a juggling act, because your life doesn't stop when you become a mom. You are still allowed to do the things you love to do, and show up for yourself AND your kids. Whether it's in your career, or you're chasing a dream. You are so capable of doing what you need (or want) to do for YOU! Motherhood can be consuming at times, but remember...you are still your own person.

So, chase that dream. Start that business. Take those classes. Get the job. Be the boss mama you are, and let your children be a reason why you do it all as well. Teach them that you can be anything you want to be in this life.

GO FOR IT MAMA!💗

In this episode, Janni Ayala and Rachel Anastacia talk to Janni's "baby dad"/ Romeo's dad, Quentin Williams, about his experience with co-parenting for the past 4 years and becoming a dad at 20 years old.

We dive deep into the reality of raising a child in a HEALTHY co-parenting arrangement. Even though there are many benefits to having a healthy relationship between the mother and father of a child, there are the struggles of dealing the "consequences" that impact the life of that child. Especially the child's understanding of this arrangement and becoming comfortable in their reality while knowing 2 parent households exist.

Quentin also talks about co-parenting while being in a relationship and the balance of being tied to the mother of his child and his girlfriend.

At the end of the day, the CHILD IS MAIN FOCUS. Any relationship of the past or current one does have an impact on the child most, so it's important to be considerate and mindful of the environment in which that kid will grow and develop in.

Our kid's are the product of the environment we create. They remind us of the many things we should also love about ourselves because they are the best versions of us. Our kid's deserve everything from open communication to respect to patience and everything in between. Just know that your best is the best they will get and it's more than enough.

We hope we enjoy this episode.

Hey girlies💗 We hope you ALL are doing absolutely amazing. In this episode, Janni & Rach break down the importance of teaching lessons to our children, breaking those generational curses, and learning that you are capable of being the parent you want to be. Let's face it-every mistake is a lesson learned, So therefore, it is our job to pass down these lessons to our children, and guide them through as they grow. One thing about our generation as parents is that we have become very aware of the ways that we were raised, and the things that we might not want to pass down to our children. It's safe to say a lot of us are trying to break generational curses, and honestly...we should all give ourselves a pat on the back. It can be hard to unlearn things that we may have been brought up around, or let go of the feelings attached to those things. But, for the benefit of our children, we're doing the damn thing. It's so amazing to see all of us really try to be our best in this crazy world of motherhood. Just remember-you're doing great mama. And you are beyond loved!

Hey mamas!

In this episode Janni Ayala & Rachel Anastacia talk about the power we hold in other's lives as women but even more specific as mothers. As moms we NEED to keep showing up no matter what, in real life AND online. Share the pretty, share the ugly, share the cuteness, share the struggle, share it all. Every life is full of beauty no matter the circumstance because through it all, you are still doing the damn thing!!!

Motherhood is consistently so many things at one time. It's being overwhelmed all day but missing your child the moment they fall asleep. It's getting angry with them for throwing a tantrum in the middle of the grocery store but feeling so much love as they reach out their arms for you. It's yelling in frustration at them but feeling guilty for not being able to stay calm. That's just what motherhood is sometimes.. and still somehow it's all worth it.

We discuss friendship and the importance of finding real friends. Of course people will come and go but you will always know who's truly there for you. Many moms openly discusses how hard it is to find other mom friends but don't give up on finding your people or even just one person. They do exist... and if anything, we are here for you!

We are all "CREATED TO CREATE." Our creations are limitless. Creating life, friendships, memories, love, stories, content, knowledge, beauty. Everything in our lives and those around us is created by us. We appreciate the amazing "artist" that you are because look at all you've created!

take some time to be still with the masterpiece you call life. Isn't it lovely?

We hope you enjoy this episode.

We love you!!! <3
