We are so excited about our first MAMA Minisode podcast episode. These episodes will drop on the last Monday of every month and will be short episodes where we chat about a mom topic, share a commuter spotlight, and build our mom club by involving as many of you as we can.

Today’s episode the girls chat about what surprised them most about motherhood and how it was different from the first kid to the second. They also share a story sent in by commuter Ashley who shares about a difficulty she is facing. If you have any advice for Ashley or want to share some love, please send us a DM and we will pass it along.

To be involved in future minisode episodes, follow us on social media @cribcommutepodcast to be alerted of details.

TRIGGER WARNING: We discuss child loss, VTS, stillbirth, postpartum anxiety, depression, and rage in this episode. If this is something that might be difficult for you to listen to, we understand. ((hugs))

This week the girls are joined by their friends Jess Tait and Evi Figgat to discuss all the crazy things no one talks about when it comes to being postpartum. Which one of us almost pooped her pants in the middle of the Walmart aisle and which one of us attempted to lie about her mental health at her 6 week appointment and ended up sobbing to her doctor. Listen to the episode to hear all the crazy details.

Jess Tait: Jess is a girl mom to 2 beautiful girls who enjoys sharing simple makeup with other busy moms. She loves chocolate and is obsessed with Taylor Swift. She recently opened up about her experience with postpartum rage to help spread awareness as it is not commonly talked about.

Evi Figgat: Evi is a mom of 2 who shares a passion for mental health advocacy. She is passionate about keeping it real on Instagram to help other moms know they aren’t alone when it comes to mental health. She is also a writer and editor and shares about her life as being an adoptee.
