Join Cally and Emily for a candid solo episode as they navigate the final weeks of pregnancy—swollen feet, sciatica, pregnancy rage, and all. They share sweet moments with their kids, from Kieran's first solo kitchen task shelling edamame to Nora's "butt" drawings during a church meeting.

The hosts tackle listener questions, including a powerful book recommendation (Drop the Ball by Tiffany Dufu), thoughts on unconditional love and advocating for your children, and advice for a mom dealing with critical in-laws. They discuss the importance of being on the same team with your partner, knowing when to set boundaries, and trusting your maternal compass when others judge your parenting choices.

Plus, practical reminders about checking your spam folder for their freebies and  updates on their Maternal Compass series with Caitlin Miller.

Topics covered:

  • Late pregnancy symptoms and the emotional roller coaster
  • Cherishing last moments before baby #2 arrives
  • Book recommendation: Drop the Ball by Tiffany Dufu
  • Navigating judgment and criticism from family members
  • The "let them" theory and setting boundaries
  • Advocating for yourself in medical settings
