Mom Balance

In this hilarious and painfully relatable episode of Mom Balance, co-hosts Rebecca and Shannon dive deep into the unfiltered world of mom group chats—where chaos reigns and the rules are... well, unwritten.

We’re talking:

• The moms who send 17 messages in a row
• The over-reactors and ghosters
• The one who turns every snack list into a spreadsheet
• And the subtle art of muting the thread for your own sanity

Whether you're managing school drop-off threads, sports team texts, or trying to decode what "Can you bring juice?" really means—this episode is for you.

We’ll also share real-life group chat confessions, our personal fails, and some survival tips for staying sane while staying connected.

If you’ve ever found yourself whisper-screaming “go the f**k to sleep” while pretending to be calm during bedtime… this one’s for you. In this episode of Mom Balance, we’re talking about the chaos of bedtime routines, toddler tantrums at 9PM, and the nightly meltdown (ours and theirs) that no sleep training book seems to fix.

We open with a hilarious nod to the infamous book Go the F**k to Sleep—because sometimes humor is the only thing keeping us from crying into the monitor. But we also get real about the shame, the exhaustion, and the feeling of "are we the only ones who haven't figured this out yet?"

Whether you're in the middle of co-sleeping drama, trying every sleep method on Instagram, or giving up and letting your kid fall asleep on top of you watching Bluey—you're not alone. This is a no-judgment, full-transparency convo between two moms doing our best to survive bedtime with little kids and not lose our minds.

Welcome back to the Balanced Mom Podcast! In this episode, your favorite mom duo, Shannon and Rebecca, tackle the holiday hustle head-on with a big dose of reality. If you’re feeling the pressure to do all the things—from decking the halls to crafting Pinterest-perfect memories, to somehow making every single holiday wish come true—this one’s for you!

We’re diving into the inevitable mom guilt that creeps in during the holiday season. Why does it always feel like we need to do EVERYTHING and be EVERYTHING to our families? From the pressure to create magical childhood memories for our kids to balancing how much to spend while keeping a budget in check, we’re here to remind you that it’s okay to let go of perfection.

This episode is all about redefining the holiday experience and embracing a more relaxed, intentional approach—because your worth as a mom isn’t tied to whether you nailed the perfect Christmas morning or bought the best gift ever. We’ve got tips on how to combat that guilt, create lasting memories without breaking the bank, and still make time for a little bit of “you” in the middle of the chaos.

Key topics covered:

• How to manage mom guilt during the holiday season (hint: you don’t have to do it all!).
• Budget-friendly holiday tips that don’t compromise the fun or the spirit.
• Redefining what a magical childhood Christmas experience really looks like.
• Setting boundaries and making time for self-care (because you deserve it too).

If you’re ready to let go of the unrealistic expectations and give yourself permission to enjoy the holidays without the pressure, grab a cup of coffee (or wine, we won’t judge), press play, and let’s get real about what it means to be a balanced mom during the most wonderful time of the year.

This week on Mom Balance:

• Shannon sends her husband  on a wild goose chase for a stolen item that ends with a lawn mowing disaster.
• Tori's daughter only poops if there is competition
• Rebecca's kids quit a sport mid season.

Ya know those darn Facebook memories that pop up with your chubby little baby from summers past? The ones where their sticky little hands are covered in popsicles, or where you're sitting at the baseball field during tournaments that in the moment feel like they would NEVER end? You're exhausted, at the end of your rope and just wish you had 2 days alone to find yourself again? It's those memories  the good, the bad, and the ugly, that inspired this week's episode.

We were diving into the phases of motherhood and the very real struggle of feeling like some season will never end and then the immediate pain, sadness, a longing to get a couple of those sweet seconds back.

If you have no idea what these words mean then join the rest of the non cool moms club. 

The Balanced Mom Crew realized collectively that we are not actually  "cool moms" so we educated to educate each other with a bit of recon.  In this episode we laugh....alot.. at the reality of how little we know about pop culture and digest all the latest and greatest slang words.

What did we miss?... any big ones? Hit us up on the socials to share.

We all love a good personality test! Today we dig into the different enneagram personalities and how they show up in motherhood. Are you organized and on time, do you love to host parties or prefer a night at home alone in your jammies? Are your kids dressed to the 9s or do you let them where whatever they want stains and all? Each of these areas can be tied back to your personality which is really cool way to alleviate some of the pressure of mom guilt.  We aren’t all the token “PTA” mom and thats okay! 

If you haven’t taken the enneagram test grab this link and complete it.
