In this week's episode, we recall our own unique journeys with our little ones, we have seen the vast difference from baby #1 and baby #2, and that was the lack of a village. We also cover the meaning behind “mamas need mamas”, a comfy crew that we created that says so much more than those three words. Our heart is for mothers everywhere to know that they aren't alone no matter the circumstances, age or season.We hope this episode leaves you encouraged and empowered to take action in your own life whether that's joining a local group, being vulnerable and asking for help, or simply starting your own. Please reach out to us if you are ever feeling alone or don't know where to start in this journey of finding a village- we are here for you because MAMAS NEED MAMAS.

In this week's episode we dive into sleep. From infancy to toddlerhood we have both experienced a wide gamut of sleep struggles and successes. Media and western culture today would have us believe that babies and children should be sleeping through the night and if they aren’t then you need to fix this problem. In this episode we debunk that idea by breaking down our own experiences both as mothers and professionals. At the end of the day, we try to remain humble and continually “try something else”. Because sometimes there’s nothing you can do but go with the flow, listen to your child’s cues, know their needs and have patience for this season. They will sleep through the night one day, it just might not be on our timeline.
