The holidays are over. The kids are feral. The house is trashed. The dopamine is gone. And us moms are left wondering why we feel sad, angry, empty, or completely overstimulated.

Spoiler: it’s normal — and no one warned us.
 

This  episode is about the emotional whiplash moms feel after weeks of overstimulation, pressure, and pretending it’s magical.

Mom guilt — the unofficial fourth trimester that never ends. From skipping bedtime to sneaking screen time, there’s always something to feel bad about. In this episode, we’re getting brutally real about the guilt that comes with motherhood — the working mom guilt, the stay-at-home guilt, the ‘forgot it was pajama day again’ guilt — all of it. Because apparently, no matter what you do, you’re doing it wrong. We’ll unpack where that shame spiral comes from, laugh about our most ridiculous guilt moments, and remind you that your kid doesn’t need a perfect mom — just one who occasionally hides in the pantry with snacks. So drop the guilt, grab the wine, and let’s call this your free therapy session.

Buckle up mamas - it's birth story time.

 
In this raw and unfiltered episode, I'm spilling every messy, magical, and mortifying detail of how my babies entered the world - from the first contraction to the last curse word I said to my husband. Expect bodily fluids, panic attacks, and the exact moment I thought I was a badass superhero.
If you've ever wondered what birth really looks like - this one's for you.
Whether you're preparing to pop or just here for the trauma bonding, welcome to my MILF origin story.

Marriage before kids was date nights, lingerie, and spontaneous sex. Marriage after kids? It’s arguing about who’s more tired, sending each other TikToks from opposite couches, and considering solo Target trips as foreplay. In this episode, we’re spilling the unfiltered truth about how having kids turns soulmates into glorified roommates — from the silent scorecard of who does more, to the death of date night, to why the dishwasher is always the hill we die on. This isn’t couple’s therapy… it’s comedy, chaos, and survival. Because in marriage after kids, love is real — but so is resentment.

Vacations before kids were margaritas, bikinis, and questionable decisions. Vacations with kids?  Hours in a mom-mobile that smells like Goldfish, 47 bathroom stops, and sand in places sand should never be. In this episode, we’re breaking down the brutal reality of the ‘family beach trip’ — from overpacking like you’re moving to another country, to hotel room chaos, to the fantasy that this is somehow relaxing. Spoiler: it’s just parenting in a hotter, sandier location. Buckle up, moms — we’re hitting the highway to hell… also known as the family vacation.

Today, we're fully embracing the hot mess of motherhood. You'll see what I mean when I'm interrupted MULTIPLE times during today's episode...but hey, that's motherhood. 

Congratulations, it’s a… letdown? Today we’re diving into the messy, taboo, and very real world of gender disappointment. From the fake smile at the ultrasound to the guilt spiral that follows, we’re talking expectations, reality, and why moms are so scared to admit they’re a little bummed about baby’s sex. This isn’t about not loving your kid — it’s about being honest about the grief that comes with letting go of the family you thought you’d have. Grab your iced coffee (or wine, no judgment) and let’s unpack the shame, the secret Pinterest boards, and why it’s okay to feel what you feel. Blue, pink, or polka dots — chaos comes in every color.

Join Courtney as she goes there today...like really goes deep. Into the hormonal hellscape that is postpartum, the stigma of needing meds, and why it's totally normal to be one dirty ass diaper away from a full blown mommy meltdown. In public. Because motherhood is freaking hard. Like prozac for breakfast hard.

Join Courtney as she talks about the unglamourous rebirth of the hot mess mom - from identity loss to activating her MILF mode.

"Before I became a mom, i thought MILF meant tight jeans and Botox. Now I know it's crying in the shower while hiding a secret stash of snacks. Welcome to Call Her Mommy: The MILF Manifesto - where we embrace the mess, the madness, the rage cleaning and Amazon shopping at 2am."
