What if the best parenting manual is actually your intuition?

In this Call Your Mom Friends “Call Waiting” episode, we listen to a heartfelt message from Alexis that feels like a mini TED Talk for moms everywhere. Her encouragement sparks a rich conversation about giving yourself grace, trusting your instincts, and realizing you don’t need all the fancy gadgets to be a good mom.

Lauren, Amey, and Charity reflect on the highs and lows of early motherhood, the differences between first and second babies, and how each child gets a “different version” of their parents. They also swap their favorite real-life baby shower gifts—from breast milk storage hacks to baby carriers they actually use.

✨ In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Why your baby didn’t come with an instruction manual (and why that’s okay)

• How every child changes your parenting style and grows your confidence

• The trap of social media and baby “must-have” lists—and what really matters

• Baby shower gift ideas moms actually love, including:

  • Ceres Chill → portable breast milk storage Code: AZBABY

  • Dr. Brown’s Glass Bottles

  • Lenny Lamb Baby Carriers → mom-favorite carriers that last from newborn to toddler

• Why sometimes all your baby needs is a blanket on the floor, a ceiling fan, and you

This conversation will leave you encouraged, laughing, and maybe rethinking your baby registry.

🎧 Tune in, trust your instincts, and let go of the pressure to do it “perfectly.”

✨ Fridays are for Call Waiting — our weekly mom-friend call-in segment where real moms share raw, hilarious, and relatable stories you won’t hear in the school pickup line.
