EP 142 : Happy Moms Care Less?


Listen Later

This week’s episode is a little bit of everything… but also very much about that feeling you don’t really say out loud as a mom of two.

We’re talking about the weird push and pull of life with a second child. The “I care so much” mixed with “why do I… kind of not care?” energy. The guilt, the acceptance, the reality that everything just looks different the second time around. Less urgency, less stress… but also less time, space, and attention. It’s complicated.

Whitney recaps her beach vacation and the very real vacation blues that hit when you get home. Candace shares about her due date trip to NYC, what it brought up emotionally, and the anxiety leading up to it.

And then we take a hard left into a memory from college… living through the devastating tornado in Tuscaloosa in April 2012 and what that experience was like in real time.

A little reflective, a little chaotic, a little “how did we get here?” — just like always.

In this episode:

  • The emotional weirdness of having a second baby
  • Why everything feels more relaxed… and why that can feel bad
  • “Dragging your feet” and mom guilt
  • Whitney’s post-vacation slump
  • Candace’s NYC trip + pre-trip anxiety
  • Living through the 2012 Tuscaloosa tornado
