Band of Mothers Podcast

Every mom remembers the moment she became a mother — the beautiful drama AND, very commonly, the deep and often unnecessary trauma. This week, we explore unbelievable birth stories... some crazy, some funny, some heartbreaking… but stories that will always unite us, and hopefully offer you a moment to reflect on this magical adventure, no matter how or when your kid was born.

Welcome to the 2nd episode in our four-part series centered around the theme of “Well…That Happened!”

Follow Tracey + Shayna - @bandofmothersofficial on Instagram!

This week we joyfully step out of the mommy shame spiral and openly embrace a myriad of deeply embarrassing moments that – while unique to the #bandofmothers featured in this episode – are also universal in that we ALL embarrass ourselves ALL THE TIME. There’s so much pressure to be cool, pulled together, on top of everything…and sometimes that pressure results in epic mom fails. So let’s laugh about it!

Here’s What We Explored:

- Moms call our hotline and share their most embarrassing mom moments (3:17)

- Listen to a live recording of a hilarious game called “Stump The Breeder” (10:56)

- An epic “traveling with a baby on a plane” story you don’t want to miss (18:46)

- Tracey and Shay share their own embarrassing stories (27:54)

- Shay sings a brand new song titled “MOMMY ZOMBIE” lol (37:36)

Is there ever a time when the kindness of strangers isn’t THE BEST THING EVER? An insatiably delightful woman gave me the most enthusiastic compliment at the bookstore, and even though my self-esteem still thinks it’s unwarranted (see this IG post as proof), this stranger thought different, and her 15 seconds of kindness changed the course of my day. Can we follow in her footsteps and do the same?

In this week’s summer series of Love BOMs, Tracey discusses the practice of manifestation and how she came to the realization that it’s essential to manifest how you want to feel, rather than what you want.
