We’re officially 20 episodes in! 🎉 As two busy mamas, we’re so proud of how far we’ve come — and we’re celebrating with a topic that hits home for every parent who’s ever added 37 things to their cart after a scroll through Instagram.

In this episode of Parenting Unplugged, we’re getting real about the difference between what social media says you need and what’s actually worth your time, money, and sanity.

We’ll confess our most regretful purchases, play a quickfire round of “Need It or Leave It,” and talk about how to feel prepared without going broke or burnt out.

In This Episode:

• Celebrating 20 episodes with a big thank you to our listeners ❤️
• Real talk: Instagram vs. parenting reality
• Our funniest “influenced” purchases
• What actually made life easier as new parents
• Why confidence > clutter
• Easy tips to tune out the noise and trust your gut

Takeaways:

• Most of what you think you “need”... you really don’t.
• It’s okay to fall for the hype—we’ve all been there.
• Ask a real parent, not a reel parent.
