  • Episode 20: In Another Life - Summer (will) Break (us) ☀️🧃😵

    Ah, summer. The season of sun, fun… and full parental breakdowns. In this episode, we unpack the very real shock of discovering that summer with kids is somehow both magical and completely unhinged. We came in dreaming of core memories — and found ourselves refereeing popsicle fights, managing screen time spirals, and pretending “working remotely” means anything with kids in tow.


    To survive? We’re sipping on Spicy Sauvy B (our signature summer drink — Sauvignon Blanc over frozen jalapeños) and laughing through the chaos. Because at this point, it’s either that… or cry in the inflatable pool.

  • Episode 19: In Another Life - Planes, Poop, and Pinot ✈️💩🍷

    Before kids, we were passport-stamping queens 🌍 — between the two of us, we’ve hit over 40 countries. Now? We’re just trying to survive TSA with fruit pouches and our sanity intact 🍌🧃. In this episode, we shoot the 💩 about the highs, lows, and leaks of traveling with little ones. From blowouts at 30,000 feet 🚼 to the sacred art of airplane snacks ✈️🍿 and enjoying that pre-departure cocktail🍷🧳 — we’ve got you.

    We also share our fave baby + toddler travel must-haves 🧸, and spill some real-life tips from our upcoming chaos: Wren’s heading to Chicago 🏙️ for 3 weeks, and Molly’s off to Montana 🏞️.

    It’s chaotic, it’s honest, and it’s definitely not in the guidebooks. #MomLifeOnTheMove

  • Episode 18: In Another Life - Barf, Blowouts & a Beautiful Goodbye 🤢💩🕊️

    This episode was recorded together in Jacumba Springs during a much-needed girls trip — and honestly, the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. We dive headfirst (and stomach first) into a full-blown family Norovirus meltdown — we're talking everyone sick, everywhere, all at once. From canceled travel plans and chaotic regressions to trying to mom through vomit, poop, and zero sleep, it’s the ultimate survival story.


    Wren also shares a heartfelt tribute to her grandma-in-law, the incredible Ita McElvaney, who recently passed at the age of 104 (yes, she accidentally says 103 in the episode — classic mom brain 🧠💁‍♀️).


    It’s gross, it’s tender, it’s slightly unhinged… and it’s a love letter to the resilience of moms and girlfriends who know when you just need a hot spring and a hard reset.

  • Episode 17: In Another Life - Relaxing Doesn’t Get You Pregnant (and Other Bullsh*t Advice)

    ⚠️ Trigger Warning: Infertility, IVF, and pregnancy loss are discussed in this episode.


    It’s a little long… but so is the road to motherhood for so many of us. In this raw and emotional episode, Wren shares her personal infertility journey — the doctor visits, IVF injections, and all the quiet grief in between. We unpack the absolute garbage advice people love to give ("just relax!" — please don’t), the awkward taboos of announcing pregnancy, and why Lauren Bosstick should maybe take a seat. If you’re in it, have been in it, or love someone who is: we see you, we love you, and we know your baby is out there.

  • Episode 16- In Another Life: Don’t Touch Your Brother’s Penis🍆🚽💩

    Look, we didn’t think we’d be saying this either — but here we are. In this week’s episode, we spiral into the chaotic wonderland of early toddlerhood, where everyone’s naked, no one’s listening, and the tiniest humans are slowly becoming big assholes with very big opinions. We cover unsolicited anatomy lessons, the ongoing potty training saga, and why Bluey's parents might actually be raising our kids. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s everything we didn’t expect about this stage. Buckle up.

  • Episode 15 - In Another Life: Praise Be, But Not Like That 🙅‍♀️⛪️📺

    MAJOR SPOILERS: This week, we’re taking a detour from diapers and spit-up to dive deep into the drama of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives—and yes, it’s a spoiler-filled judgment fest (you’ve been warned).

    We break down the twists, the turns, and the new faces, throw some side-eye at the red flags we all saw coming, and passionately unpack why fundamentalist religion gives us a full-body ick.

    Still holding space for the original fan favorite (justice for her always), but let’s just say… not all friendships forged on MomTok are built to last.

    If you're into cult-adjacent chaos, a little sass, and two moms with too many opinions, this one's your post-bedtime guilty pleasure.

  • Episode 14: In Another Life - According to the Internet, My Baby’s Failing👶😵‍💫

    This week on In Another Life, we attempt (and fail) to stay on topic while unpacking the wild world of baby milestones—you know, the ones that make you feel like your kid should be walking, talking, and composing symphonies by 10 months.

    We ramble (shocker), laugh, and ask the real questions:
    ➡️ Who even decided what “on track” means?
    ➡️ Why does every app act like your baby’s behind if they’re not clapping on command?
    ➡️ And why do we care so much when, honestly, we’re just trying to remember if we brushed our teeth today?

    It’s a ride through comparison traps, pediatrician pressure, and the reality that every baby—and every mom—is on their own damn timeline.

  • Episode 13: In Another Life - Coulda, Shoulda, Would Ya? 🤷‍♀️🍼

    Hindsight: the most judgmental mom friend of them all.

    This week on In Another Life, we’re spiraling into the coulda-shoulda-woulda’s of motherhood—those moments we look back on with a mix of exhaustion, laughter, and "WTF were we thinking?"

    Oh, and we shoot the shit about hot topics like Trump’s new “baby bonus,” why Carrie Bradshaw is actually the worst, and other unfiltered opinions we’ll probably regret (but not really).

    It’s messy, hilarious, and just the way we like it.

  • Episode 12: In Another Life - WTF Just Happened? Hot Takes & Hot Messes 🔥🤯

    Motherhood is full of magical moments... and then there are the ones that leave you standing in your kitchen, covered in mystery goo, whispering WTF just happened?

    This week, we're diving into the hilarious, chaotic, and downright absurd moments that make up modern mom life. From toddler tantrums in Target to unsolicited parenting advice from strangers at the park, nothing is off-limits.

    We’re also dishing out some spicy hot takes—from sleep training drama to screen time shame—because if we can’t laugh about it, we’ll probably cry in our car. Again.

    Expect real talk, unfiltered laughs, and a few moments that’ll make you feel a little less alone (and a lot more seen). So grab your snacks (and maybe a mommy vice), and settle in. It’s about to get real.

  • Episode 11 - In Another Life, My Kid Would’ve Paid Rent by Now 💸👶 Ft. Caleb Frankel, COO Earlybird.io

    Let’s talk about something no one warned us about before having kids: they’re basically tiny, adorable money vacuums. From diapers to daycare to the 42 snack options they’ll refuse to eat—we’re just out here hemorrhaging cash.

    This week, we’re chatting with the amazing Caleb Frankel, co-founder of EarlyBird, the investing app that helps families build generational wealth, one gift at a time. He’s giving us the lowdown on how to actually save for your kids, what accounts make sense, and how to stop feeling like you’re already financially behind before kindergarten even starts.

    Whether you’re a budgeting wizard or just trying not to overdraft buying organic pouches, this episode is packed with real talk, smart money tips, and of course, laughs. Because if we’re gonna go broke... at least we’ll do it together.
