This week on Between Us Moms, we interview actress, entrepreneur, and mom of two Shenae Grimes Beech for one of her most honest conversations yet.

You first fell in love with her on Degrassi: The Next Generation and the CW's 90210, but today Shenae is opening up about why her time in Hollywood felt “traumatizing,” how fame in the peak tabloid era shaped her identity, and why she doesn’t necessarily want her daughter to follow in her footsteps. Now raising two kids with husband Josh, Shenae shares what life really looks like in this season: being the default parent, building her clothing brand Two Halves, dreaming about writing a book, and redefining success on her own terms -- and what new dreams she has.

We talk about:

• Why she stepped away from mainstream acting ans what her life looks like today
• The “unlearning” she’s had to do after years of being told how to look, speak, and behave
• Raising confident kids in today’s culture — and why their motto is “stay weird.” We dive into their experiences at school and how to stop caring when other kids question their fashion and choices. It's something all parents need to hear!
• Marriage shifts when your husband goes from creative life to a 9–5 job and what the secret sauce is to staying together for over a decade.
• Beauty standards, aging naturally, and her decision (for now) to skip Botox — even though she fully supports women who choose it
• Living with rosacea, showing real skin online, and rejecting impossible expectations
• Do women in Hollywood get treated differently after they become moms? What about as they age?
• Her message to moms spiraling or feeling anxiety over the doom and gloom news cycles

Shenae also gets candid about modern motherhood pressures, her bouts with postpartum and a baby with colic -- and why it's so important we take up space, find our identities, and take care of our mental health.

This episode is about pivoting without shame, redefining ambition, protecting your peace, and raising kids who feel free to be exactly who they are.

If you’re navigating motherhood, identity shifts, career changes, aging, marriage, or simply trying to care less about being “likable” — this one is for you.

Katie is celebrating a huge mom win — her daughter Kaia is officially potty trained, a milestone every parent knows is worth celebrating. Hallie shares a Valentine’s Day gift that is far from traditional but deeply meaningful: an emergency box filled with all the information she could ever need if her husband, Andrew, passed first.

The moms also dive into everything they are loving right now. Hallie gushes over FX’s new series, Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, Katie dishes on the bestselling book Fourth Wing, and they can’t get enough of the show Ponies on Peacock.

In this deeply moving and transformational episode of Between Us Moms, we sit down with actress, single mom of two boys, and Earth School founder Autumn Reeser for one of the most raw, spiritual, and empowering conversations we’ve ever had on the podcast.

Autumn opens up about leaving her marriage when her children were just babies — stepping into single motherhood while navigating heartbreak, identity shifts, and the overwhelming weight of rebuilding her life from the ground up.

She describes the moment her awakening truly began:

“By the time I was 30, I had the career, the house, the husband, the baby… and I felt like I woke up in somebody else’s life.”

From the outside, she had checked every box society tells women will make them happy — but internally, something felt deeply misaligned.

That realization took her on a journey that has allowed her to reclaim her voice, her truth, and her power.

Autumn shares that she left her marriage when her boys were just 3 years old and 11 months old — stepping into one of the hardest seasons of her life.

“There were so many moments where I was like… I can’t do this. This is too hard.”

She speaks candidly about the isolation of early single motherhood:

“The isolation of trying to keep two small children alive… it was so intense.”

She reflects on the small apartment where she raised them during those years:

“I burst into tears in their room… because that’s where the hardest parts of my journey were.”

But on the other side of that season came perspective — and pride.

“There was part of me that was like… we did it. We’re here.”

One of the most powerful themes of the episode is emotional alchemy — transforming pain into growth.

“When you’ve received heartbreak and betrayal… the gift is learning how to bring it back to love.”

She explains the philosophy behind her platform Earth School — the belief that life itself is our classroom:

“You’re in the classroom of the Divine at every moment.” And the shift that changed everything:

“I moved from being a victim of my life… to being a co-creator of it.”

Autumn offers deeply compassionate encouragement for women currently navigating divorce, healing, or solo parenting:

“Take your time. Be gentle with yourself. You don’t have to do it all at once... If I could go back, I would be gentler with myself about needing to be healed right now.”

And one of the most grounding reminders for overwhelmed moms:

“Just take a breath. Is everyone alive? Did everyone eat? Okay… it’s okay.”

She shares a simple but powerful practice for mothers in survival mode:

“Put your hand on your heart and give yourself the love you’re looking for outside of yourself.”

Autumn also speaks to the mental load so many moms carry — fear about the future, anxiety about the world our kids are growing up in.

Her grounding philosophy:

“Depression lives in the past. Anxiety lives in the future. The remedy is found in the here and now... The future is created from right now.”

As a mother of two sons, Autumn is deeply intentional about the kind of men she’s raising:

“I’m not raising children… I’m raising future men.” She prioritizes teaching consent, emotional awareness, and respect from an early age — even on the playground.

After years focused on healing and motherhood, Autumn shares she’s finally open to partnership again:

She wants divine union and she's ready! “Sacred love… or don’t give it to me.”

Autumn also reflects on the career choices she made to prioritize her boys:

“There were roles I didn’t get to play… you have to let it sting...”

Her transformational community, Earth School, is designed to help women heal, awaken, and reclaim their narratives in the middle of real life — not outside of it.

“How do we walk a path of awakening in everyday life… when we’re busy?”

Through classes, calls, and community, Earth School helps women come back home to themselves.

✨ This episode is for you if you’re navigating:

• Divorce or separation

• Single motherhood

• Identity loss after kids

• Dating after heartbreak

• Healing betrayal

• Spiritual growth

• Reclaiming your voice

• Overwhelm in early motherhood

If you’ve ever felt like you woke up in the wrong life… this conversation will help you find your way back to your own.

Hosts Katie Krause Mork and Hallie Stephens Drake loved every second of this conversation and know you will to.

Fan-favorite Dancing With the Stars pro Sharna Burgess returns to Between Us Moms for a deeply honest, emotional, and inspiring conversation about motherhood, female friendship, career evolution, and what comes next.

In this candid interview, Sharna opens up about how her friendships with her former DWTS castmates have shifted now that she’s no longer on the show and why she’s officially ready to return. She admits how much she misses dance, performing, and creating… and why her body and soul are calling her back to the ballroom and to dance. She is also acting!

It’s a powerful conversation about women giving other women their flowers — something we don’t see enough of. We love that they have a new podcast together!

We also dive into modern motherhood labels. Does Sharna consider herself a stay-at-home mom? She explains why she feels somewhere in the middle — working from home, juggling brand deals, judging DWTS Australia, acting in films, podcasting, and still being deeply present for her son Zane during these fleeting early years.

Sharna gets real about raising boys with intention — teaching boundaries, respect, and empathy — and her mission to raise strong, kind gentlemen who treat women well. She shares how she and Brian Austin Green are raising a blended family, setting clear expectations, and teaching their kids the power of the word “no.”

Plus, she reveals exciting family updates:

🎶 Brian Austin Green is back in music — rap and hip hop were his first heartbreak, We hope to hear this music!

🎵 Noah and Journey are musical and already making music too!

👶 Sharna and Brian are actively dreaming and planning another baby — and she shares their honest timeline and hopes.

In this powerful and deeply relatable episode of Between Us Moms, we sit down with Caroline Baudino of Shop With Caroline—a 54-year-old mom-of-two who proves it’s never too late to choose yourself and rewrite your story.

Caroline opens up about the exact aha moment that changed everything: one phone call from her mom, one honest look in the mirror, and the realization that she needed to invest in herself again. From there, she shares practical, encouraging tips for finding your way back to you after marriage and motherhood—starting small, taking a little extra time in the morning, and getting dressed with intention as an act of self-respect.

We also dive into the realities of raising teenage sons, including how to keep communication open (and the surprising sweet spot time of day when they’re most likely to talk). Caroline offers wisdom on building a marriage that lasts, rooted in "choosing happy," mutual respect, and honest communication. Married to her husband John for over two decades—and working together—she shares what truly sustains a long-term partnership.

Caroline speaks candidly about becoming the caregiver for her elderly parents, navigating a complicated relationship with her mother, setting boundaries, and breaking generational patterns—work that’s as hard as it is healing.

This episode is honest, empowering, and a reminder that growth, confidence, and self-discovery don’t have an expiration date.

This week on Between Us Moms, Hallie and Katie are covering everything moms are actually talking about — from toddler bedtime procrastination and toxic mom group culture and celebrity mom drama (Hilary, Mandy and Ashley -- we're looking at you!) and whether farting in front of your partner really makes your marriage stronger.

We kick things off with our Yays & Nays of the Week, including Hallie’s gross but honest realization about men that has us questioning everything. Then Katie opens up about a VERY relatable toddler sleep struggle — her child wants her in the crib every single night before falling asleep. Sound familiar? We’re talking bedtime stalling tactics like asking for more milk, more water, one more story, or demanding a parent lay with them — and we’re sharing realistic bedtime hacks and parenting tips to help if your toddler is fighting sleep.

In our Headlines That Made Us Text Each Other, we dive into the toxic mom group conversation sparked by celebrity moms Ashley Tisdale, Hilary Duff, and Mandy Moore. Our hosts have a LOT to say about that viral essay and the drama that has ensued. Katie shares exclusive insider insight after interviewing all three of these celebrity moms multiple times — they also share their opposite takes on Matthew Koma’s involvement, and why this topic hit such a nerve for modern moms.

We also break down Nikki Bella’s viral photo kissing her son on the lips, which sent her comment section into absolute chaos. Is it innocent? Is it weird? Is the internet doing too much? Katie and Hallie share their unfiltered hot takes.

And finally in our Mom Algorithm segment … we talk gas. 💨 Apparently, farting in front of your partner can make you a stronger couple — but do Katie and Hallie actually do it? We’re getting into marriage, intimacy and the gas of it all in true Between Us Moms fashion.

If you’re a mom navigating toddler sleep regression, mom guilt, celebrity mom culture, marriage after kids, and internet parenting judgment, this episode will make you feel seen, validated, and laughing out loud.

✨ New episodes weekly. Listen now and join the conversation — because nothing is off-limits Between Us Moms, where motherhood is a sisterhood.
