Mama Knows Best (Mostly) episodes

  • Relationships Pt. 1

    In this episode, Carly and Becca chat about what happens to your relationship with your spouse after having a baby. We dive into the unspoken truth of how motherhood can feel isolating like you’re carrying the full weight of responsibility, even though you both made this baby. Why does it feel like moms automatically take the mental load while dads get to just help out?

    We’re also talking about what happens when you don’t see eye to eye on parenting (whether it’s screen time, sleep schedules, navigating those differences is hard and we’re breaking down how to meet in the middle without losing your mind (or your marriage).

    If you’ve ever thought, “why am I the only one who knows when the baby last pooped?”, this one’s for you.
