Band of Mothers Podcast

Shayna, Tracey, and “Don’t Call Me Mommy’s” Samantha Gutstadt and Haely White reveal some of their most embarrassing moments since becoming a mom — from squirting breast milk on their partner during sex to being congratulated for being pregnant months after having the baby. 

Plus, the women discuss the judgment they have faced from other moms in their mommy classes and breastfeeding support groups, and they discuss why that led them to start their own brands to support and uplift moms everywhere. So many laughs with these funny moms, you’ll feel less alone after guffaw-ing at all these confessions!

Shayna and Tracey welcome divorce journalist Ilyssa Panitz, who shares how going through her own divorce during COVID-19 convinced her to change the course of her life and begin her work helping others going through the same thing. Ilyssa explains why you shouldn’t always “stay together for the kids” and why getting through the hard times begins with finding your “team.” 

Plus, how can you be a good friend to a girlfriend going through a divorce? And how do you know when to talk about the divorce and when not to? 

Ilyssa also explains why divorce can actually benefit our kids by teaching them that we all deserve second chances.

Shayna and Tracey team up with the hosts of the “Off The Gram” podcast for a special Mother’s Day edition of “Band of Mothers,” and they are all getting real about #MomLife. Five moms discuss why remembering goggles for the pool totally sucks, who is PRO or ANTI Spirit Week, and how making that hat for “Crazy Hat Day” can be the thing that pushes us over the edge.  

Fun, funny, raw and always honest, the women also talk about why being a mom is not all intuitive and reveal their worst “Mom-ents.” Plus, everyone shares ways their husbands do (and don’t) help out around the house, and why even the best of husbands never seem to remember the snacks. And, everyone shares their tips on how to escape the grind and relax (including who smokes weed ;)
