This week on Between Us Moms, we're talking about everything from mom hacks and home refreshes to the biggest parenting debates dominating the internet.

Hallie shares why her overflowing social calendar is taking over her brain, a simple swap that's helping her reduce waste and lower her carbon footprint, and the surprisingly effective way she gets motivated to check off those lingering house projects. 

Katie is in full home makeover mode, sharing her latest finds from Prime Day, Home Depot, HomeGoods, Costco, and why she's suddenly obsessed with ferns. Plus, she reveals the feedback her husband, Jason, has for the podcast.

Then it's time for Headlines That Made Us Text Each Other.

First, we unpack the viral conversation surrounding Emily Ratajkowski's deeply personal essay for The Cut, where she opens up about divorce, dating, single motherhood, and the quote everyone can't stop discussing: "Having a child with the wrong man is one of the fastest ways to ruin your life." We discuss whether she's right, why her comments have sparked so much debate, and whether choosing the wrong parenting partner really can change the course of your life.

Next, we're diving into the internet's latest parenting controversy after North West attended Paris Fashion Week without Kim Kardashian by her side. With North only recently turning 13, and considering Kim's traumatic 2016 Paris robbery, was this a sign of healthy independence or a parenting decision that went too far? We share our honest takes.

Finally, in The Mom Algorithm, we're breaking down the viral 51% Rule—the mindset shift that's inspiring people to stop letting fear of judgment make their decisions. If you've ever wanted to start something new but worried about what other people would think, this conversation is for you.

Whether you're looking for parenting discussions, pop culture news, motherhood conversations or just a fun chat between two moms navigating it all, this episode has something for you.

This week on Between Us Moms, Katie and Hallie are giving themselves permission to exhale. The moms dive into why a "lazy weekend" is sometimes so necessary. No birthday parties or social obligations. Just family.

Hallie shares why every mom deserves a girls' night out—from getting dressed up and feeling like yourself again to swapping parenting hacks with friends who truly get it. She also shares the NSFW tip she learned about.

The conversation takes a turn into celebrity headlines as the ladies discuss Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO's plans to grow their family despite divorcing. Is having a baby after relationship struggles a good idea? Katie and Hallie share their honest opinions and discuss the realities many couples face when navigating fertility, marriage, and major life decisions.

This week on Between Us Moms, we're talking about everything from Taylor Swift wedding rumors, why the 5th installment of Toy Story has us feeling old and why millennials simply can't quit ankle socks.

Hallie shares why she's embracing a nostalgic "90s summer" for her daughters, while Katie recaps a memorable family trip to Hawaii, celebrating Kaia's third birthday, and navigating the ever-fun world of toddler sleep regressions.

In Headlines That Made Us Text Each Other, we dive into the internet-breaking rumors that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are secretly planning a massive wedding at Madison Square Garden. Is there any truth to the speculation, or are Swifties convinced it's all a distraction from something much more private? We break down the latest theories and share our takes.

Then, we're feeling all the emotions about Toy Story 5. Woody has a bald spot, the franchise is turning 31, and the new film tackles a topic every modern parent understands: kids, screens, and the struggle to preserve imaginative play. 

Finally, in The Mom Algorithm, we discuss the viral question asking millennials to reveal the most aggressively millennial habits they refuse to give up. From ending every text with "lol" to lifelong loyalty to side parts, crossbody bags, and ankle socks, we're exposing ourselves one cringe habit at a time.

Whether you're raising toddlers, obsessing over Taylor and Travis’ upcoming nuptials, surviving sleep regressions, or clinging to your millennial identity, this episode is for you.

This week on Between Us Moms, we are ALL over the place in the best way possible!

We debate the absolutely insane cost of toddler birthday parties and try to figure out what’s actually reasonable to spend in this economy… because between groceries, inflation, and Pinterest-worthy parties, parenting is getting EXPENSIVE. We each put a dollar amount on much we think a kid's birthday party should cost.

Then we get into the “sleep divorce” conversation because Hallie might be getting one — should couples sleep in separate rooms if one partner snores?!

We also spiral into a full-blown nostalgic 90s crush conversation after hearing about Hilary Duff’s childhood crush on Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Katie and Hallie reveal the heartthrobs that completely defined their childhoods — Joshua Jackson, Hanson, Ryan Phillippe, Scott Speedman, Eric Von Detten, Devon Sawa and more. Plus, they share personal stories and interactions they've had with some of these men that you won't here anywhere else.

Plus:

• Our thoughts on Netflix’s The Crash: Are Madeline’s parents also partly responsible?

• The REAL mom triggers pushing us over the edge lately: Whining, fighting siblings, bedtime battles, overstimulation and never having enough time to get anything done... we are sharing our personal motherhood moments that make us want to cry.

If you’re a millennial mom trying to survive parenting, marriage, nostalgia, and the economy all at once… this episode is for you.

This week, Hallie shares her “Nays of the Week” and reveals that her almost 4-year-old daughter may already be a mini Anna Wintour in the making. She didn’t expect such strong fashion opinions — or so much shade — from someone who still needs help buckling into a car seat.

The ladies also get real about periods, perimenopause, and the chaos of womanhood, including why Katie unexpectedly had to take a pregnancy test this week (spoiler: she’s not pregnant).

Then, Hallie and Katie dive into the internet discourse surrounding Morgan Stewart’s recent confession that she has two nannies covering all seven days of the week — typically from 8 a.m. to 4 or 5 p.m. The revelation, shared on “The Morgan Stewart Show,” quickly sparked online criticism, and the girls unpack the expectations placed on modern moms, especially wealthy ones.

They also weigh in on the drama between Elsie Hewitt and Pete Davidson after Elsie hinted she’s been handling motherhood largely on her own following their split. The former couple share a 5-month-old daughter, Scottie Rose, and speculation exploded after Elsie posted a TikTok explaining how exhausted she’s been balancing work, motherhood, and life on her own. Pete’s camp quickly pushed back, insisting he’s a present and supportive father, while sources say the relationship simply moved too fast after the pair first got together in early 2025.

And finally, the girls break down TikTok’s newest parenting phenomenon: the rise of the “beta mom.”

This week, we’re diving into all the Mother’s Day chaos, celebrations, and internet drama you may have missed. Katie shares her double slay of the weekend — from a picture-perfect Mother’s Day surprise to the big news that she’s MOVING. Plus, Hallie explains why Instagram locked her husband out of his account after posting about her for Mother’s Day… and the wild NSFW ad she got served online.

We also break down Taylor Frankie Paul’s emotional Mother’s Day rant and the growing fallout with her ‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ co-star Mikayla Matthews. Between custody battles, protective orders, leaked footage, and public feuds, the drama surrounding Taylor and Dakota Mortensen just keeps escalating — and now it’s affecting careers, friendships, and the future of the show itself.

Then, a softer celeb moment: Rihanna’s adorable new tattoo inspired by her kids’ colorful scribbles, created by celebrity tattoo artist Bang Bang. And finally — let’s talk about sex and parenthood. We’re unpacking new data from Emily Oster’s survey of 26,000 parents about how intimacy changes after kids, why it gets harder in the early years, and whether things actually bounce back over time.

Motherhood, messiness, internet scandals, celebrity drama, and relationship realities — we cover it all this week.

In this powerful and deeply honest episode of Between Us Moms, we welcome back bestselling author and returning guest Sarah Hoover for a conversation that every mother—and mother-to-be—needs to hear.

Since her last appearance, Sarah has traveled the globe promoting her critically acclaimed book "The Motherload," now available in paperback and currently being adapted into a television series. Along the way, she uncovered something striking: women everywhere are desperate for a space to talk openly about the realities of motherhood. From intrusive thoughts in the early postpartum weeks to the silent weight so many mothers carry, Sarah shares what she learned after meeting thousands of women who felt unheard, overwhelmed, and alone.

We dive into the universal truths of motherhood, including the shocking realization that many women—even into their 70s—never recognized they experienced postpartum depression until reading "The Motherload." Sarah opens up about why owning your truth as a mother is essential and why no one deserves to spend decades disconnected from their own experience.

Sarah also takes us behind the scenes of "The Motherload" TV adaptation, discussing the growing wave of honest storytelling about motherhood in Hollywood. She shares her dream casting (including her pick for who should play her), reveals that several high-profile moms have reached out to support the project, and reflects on how motherhood transcends status, fame, and access.

In this episode, we also talk about:

• Why mothers need to have hard, honest conversations—not just for themselves, but for their children
• The cultural shift toward more authentic portrayals of motherhood in media
• Sarah’s thoughts on the controversial article about mothers who regret having children
• Her personal “mama hot takes,” including breaking free from Instagram addiction
• The biggest myth she believes we need to stop telling new moms

Plus, Sarah shares the simple but powerful practice that makes her feel whole as a mother—and why being present matters more than ever.

This is an unfiltered, validating, and inspiring conversation about modern motherhood, mental health, postpartum experiences, and the importance of community.

🎧 If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unseen, or questioned your experience as a mom, this episode will remind you: you are not alone.
