Mama Talk

This week, we talk we take a Buzzfeed quiz to figure out what kind of mom we are, because that’s what we do in 2021! We also discuss how important boundaries are, especially starting young. And lastly, we talk about a story in Texas and how we need to respect one another and remember how to be kind.

Shelbi and Ashley bring back the randomness, the constant flow of unrelated thoughts, and the talk of anxiety in an episode they’ve been trying to record for weeks but haven’t been able to because #Motherhood.

Listen to Ashley & Shelbi record for the first time in MONTHS, after trying every single week to make it happen. 🤪 Lots of randomness… you’ll feel like you’re listening to your 2 best friends have a conversation.

This week we talked about the viral bobcat attack video, National Child Abuse Prevention month, and how to avoid meltdowns with young kiddos.

Shelbi + Ashley talk about struggling with anxiety and mental illnesses, why it’s important to talk about, and the feeling of not knowing who they are outside of being a mama.

We’re finally live! After spending HOURS figuring out technically difficulties and getting this all going, we’re here. Join us this week to talk about poop, Blippi, the massive feelings of Mom guilt and our dreams for ourselves.

This is a trial run as I give the Anchor app and my new little clip-on mic a whirl. 🤣 It’s all over the place, awkward, and missing my co-host- but there’s more to come! Come listen to me dump all of my feelings about exhaustion as a mother, and feeling “restless”.
