This week, Hallie is joined by her mama, Cricket, and her little sister, Hannah, for a mommy-daughter chat about all things motherhood. The ladies previously came on the podcast for solo episodes while Katie was out on maternity leave, so this time, all three of them get together for pizza, wine, and a heartfelt convo.

Cricket reveals why she thinks her generation of women had it better, saying she wasn't inundated by information and advice, and was able to wing it and go off her own intuition when raising her babies. But she admits that she feels her daughters are doing a better job than she ever did, praising their patience, engagement, and ability to balance being a mom with a career.

The ladies also open up about what has surprised them most in motherhood. Hannah says that while it may seem like a cliché, she is floored by the love she feels for her son, Hudson, 3, and daughter, Harper, 8 months. And the mom-of-two adds that she's often tickled by the little things Hudson and Harper do that remind her of herself and her husband, Miles.

Cricket, Hallie, and Hannah talk about the secret to their tight-knit bond, with Hallie explaining that they always felt like they could be 100% honest with their mom about everything without fear of judgment.

The mamas reveal what they have learned about themselves since becoming a mom, the moments they felt like they nailed it in motherhood, what they wished more moms talked about, what they hope they are teaching their kids by their example, and so much more!

It's a truly special episode of Between Us Moms as Katie sits down with her mom, Carolyn Krause, for a raw, honest, and incredibly relatable mother-daughter conversation. Katie and Carolyn dive deep into the moments that shaped their family, from what broke Carolyn's heart most as Katie was growing up, to the candid realities of raising three kids without a lot of money in the early days -- and what she and her husband fought the most about.

Carolyn opens up about the hardships of juggling motherhood, reflecting on her own relationship with her mother (Katie's grandma) and the trauma she experienced. In a revealing segment, she shares whether she felt motherhood deterred her acting career, even recounting a hilarious story involving a good family friend, actor Robert Patrick -- and talks about the infamous casting couch. This episode is packed with invaluable insights, emotional truths, some tears and so much more that every mother and daughter will connect with. She even shares one parenting tip for Katie she wants her to work on! LOL! Don't miss this unforgettable conversation!

Hallie and Katie dive right into the deep end this week, covering everything from epic postpartum periods to Kim Kardashian's latest headline making SKIMS product. Katie gets candid about her post-baby menstrual cycle, revealing that her hormones are raging and she's bleeding for over a week! Hallie doubles down on all that, sharing that her cramps are worse than ever and tampons just don't work like they used to and the ladies wonder if all the postpartum ladies are having epic periods.

Hal also admits she had to wear an adult diaper to Beyoncé's 'Cowboy Carter' tour, after catching a cold and cough that had her peeing her pants. But, she's hopeful her vagina is on the mend after enrolling in some serious pelvic floor therapy.

The mamas weigh in after Kourtney Kardashian called the American school system 'so dated,' during a new episode of her sister, Khloé Kardashian's podcast, 'Khloé in Wonder Land.' The mom-of-four, who is married to Blink 182 drummer, Travis Barker, made the controversial comment while explaining her need to 'go against the grain' when parenting her blended family.

Meanwhile, Kourtney’s sister, Kim Kardashian, is also giving Hallie and Katie something to talk about after SKIMS dropped The Ultimate Pierced Nipple Push-Up Bra. The eye-catching twist on the viral Nipple Bra gives off the edgy look without ever having to feel the pinch of a needle and is set to retail for $74. But… would Hallie and Katie rock it?

And the besties give their two cents on the latest decluttering trend: the poop rule. Essentially, the rule is: “If this item was covered in poop, would I still keep it?” And who do we have to thank for this mental image? Lifestyle influencer Amanda Johnson. She called it ‘the easiest way to declutter your home.’ The idea being it clarifies what items you value enough to clean up. But Hallie and Katie aren’t feeling it and would rather subscribe to the Marie Kando method of asking yourself if an item ‘sparks joy.’

This week on the podcast, Hallie and Katie recap their Mother's Day weekend. Katie is happy to report that her girls were surprisingly easy and well-behaved at brunch. She also opens up about Emma's 9-month doctor's visit and has some words of encouragement and solidarity for any mama who is feeling anxiety over their little ones hitting their milestones.

Meanwhile, Hallie is playing a little game called, "Do I have long COVID or am I just a tired mom?" The mom-of-two jokes that her memory is so bad these days that she actually had to check her calendar app to fact-check the year (she was convinced it was 2026). Katie admits she's experiencing the same brain fog, and the ladies wonder if their moms felt this way when they were in the thick of raising littles, or if the invention of the smartphone is to blame for our short attention spans and forgetfulness.

Hallie and Katie also weigh in on a new parenting trend that's going viral on social media: Type C Parenting. The term was coined by TikTok creator Ashleigh Surratt and plays off the familiar Type A and Type B personalities. Type A is highly organized, structured, and punctual. Type B tends to be more relaxed, spontaneous, and flexible. Type C parents? They're a mashup of both. The ladies reveal their Type C moments and admit that while they are historically Type A personalities, they like the freedom that Type C parenting permits.

On this week's episode of Between Us Moms, Katie and Hallie dive into the great debate: should Mother's Day be all about moms, or should grandmothers get their time in the spotlight too? They explore the complexities of celebrating motherhood in all its forms. Then, they unpack some thought-provoking comments from singer Chappell Roan, who recently called motherhood "hell," and share their honest reactions. They explore how motherhood is portrayed in pop culture and why Chappell’s words struck such a nerve. Plus, they discuss Ellen Pompeo’s powerful conversation on Call Her Daddy about her motherhood journey, explaining why they found her perspective so relatable and empowering. Finally, the duo talk about Meghan Markle’s idea of emailing your kids every night, creating a time capsule for them to read when they turn 18.

It’s an episode packed with heart, humor, and some seriously deep reflections on what it means to be a mom today—whether you're in the thick of it, watching from the sidelines, or deciding if motherhood is for you at all.

This week Katie says Instagram was serving a heavy dose of #relatable facts when she scrolled past a quote about how parenting is basically making plans and praying your kid doesn't get sick and ruin it. The timing couldn't have been better given that it hit her feed the same morning that her almost-one-year-old daughter, Emma, spiked a fever, just in time for Hallie's long-awaited trip to California to meet her. The mamas had been looking forward to the bestie time for months and had lots of fun packed into the 24-hour trip. Ultimately, Hallie decided a little fever wasn't going to stop her from coming.

And while Katie's Instagram feed seems to be on point, Hallie is wondering what she did to get inundated with ads on social media for a company that takes your children's baby teeth and turns it into jewelry. It's a hard no for Hallie, who has no plans of keeping her kiddos' teeth after the tooth fairy collects them. As for Katie, she admits her mom kept her baby teeth and they actually came in handy for a science experiment when she was in junior high!

The ladies also talk about how often their husbands go out with friends after Katie stumbled upon a Reddit post from a woman who resents her partner for going out when she barely gets out of the house except for the occasional yoga class and therapy. Katie says Jason will have the occasional dinner with friends but is mindful to go after the girls' have gone to bed. The mom-of-two adds that this chapter is all about their core four, and the focus is on being together, so she wouldn't be down for Jason hitting the town for drinks all the time. Hallie explains that for her, it's a no-brainer to let Andrew go golfing with friends once a week in the summer, explaining that it's his hobby, it nourishes his friendships and it fills his cup. But Hallie admits she's only so supportive of his time with friends on the golf course because her husband is equally as encouraging of her finding time to be with her friends and do things that bring her joy outside of the home.

But we want to hear from you! Let us know in the comments how you feel about your partner going out!

Hallie and Katie have a lot to unpack after Katie's most recent dive down a Reddit rabbit hole, where the mom-of-two stumbled upon an interesting question: "When do you regain your life after having children?" The moms weigh in, explaining that they don’t think women ever regain their former life. Instead, they are learning that happiness comes from embracing the change and making space and time to invest in yourself in spite of the chaos.

The moms also give their two cents on toddler birthday parties after one mom asked if they are a waste of money. The topic is top of mind for Hallie, who is in the thick of planning a joint birthday party for her soon-to-be 1-year-old daughter, Collins, and soon-to-be 3-year-old daughter, Dylan.

Hallie also shares a dream come true moment she shared with her daughters this week while Katie has some words of encouragement for any mom facing a challenging chapter with their children.
