It all started with four emails from Josh, a soon-to-be dad in the UK with one simple goal: be the best parent he can be.

In Part 1 of this special two-part episode, we're answering his biggest questions about becoming a first-time parent; from pregnancy and bonding before birth to preparing for those first overwhelming months, navigating the endless advice, and trying to figure out what actually matters when you're raising a tiny human.

If you've ever stayed up at 2 a.m. wondering whether you're doing this parenting thing "right," this conversation is for you.

Part 2 drops later tonight, where we tackle even more of Josh's questions, including sleep, routines, daycare, developmental concerns, and the realities of raising little ones.

We aren't doctors or child development experts, just three moms sharing our own experiences in hopes that they help someone else feel a little less alone.

This week, we're diving into Netflix's Maternal Instinct... and let's just say our blood pressure didn't survive the experience.

What started as "Let's watch a documentary" quickly turned into three moms pausing the TV every five minutes to ask, "Girl... WHAT are you doing?!" We break down the real case, unpack the documentary, roast one unbelievably delusional woman far more often than we probably should, and somehow still leave with even more questions than we started with.

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses the real-life murder of a pregnant woman, fetal abduction, infant death, pregnancy loss, violence, trauma, and grief. While we don't sensationalize the events or focus on graphic details, these topics are central to both the documentary and our conversation.

So grab a snack, pull up a chair in the living room, and come process this absolutely wild documentary with us.

What if some of the most influential people in music were the ones we've never learned to recognize?

In this special solo episode, we're stepping behind the curtain to spotlight the women whose work has shaped the soundtracks of our lives. From the first woman to win an Academy Award for film scoring to the songwriters behind some of the biggest hits in music history, we're celebrating the creators whose names deserve just as much recognition as the artists and actors we know by heart.

Join us as we explore the incredible careers of Rachel Portman, Anne Dudley, Hildur Guðnadóttir, Laura Karpman, Diane Warren, and Carole King... and ask why so many of the people responsible for making us feel a story have remained hidden in the credits for so long.

Because sometimes the most powerful voices are the ones working behind the scenes.

What does it mean to be the eldest daughter?

In this episode of Moms and Their Music, we explore the unique experience of growing up as the firstborn daughter and the expectations that often come with that role.

From responsibility and leadership to sibling dynamics, people-pleasing tendencies, and the pressure to "set the example," we discuss how being the eldest daughter can shape both childhood and adulthood in ways that are often overlooked. We also chat for a while about what it's like to raise an eldest daughter.

Whether you're an eldest daughter yourself, raising one, married to one, or still recovering from being told "you're the oldest" every time something went wrong, this episode is for you.

We laugh our way through sibling dynamics, unrealistic expectations, responsibility that somehow gets assigned by birth order, and the strange phenomenon of eldest daughters becoming unofficial assistant managers of the family before they're even old enough to drive.

As Moms and Their Music continues to grow, we're also entering a season of intentional development behind the scenes. We're exploring new ideas, refining how we connect with our audience, and laying the groundwork for exciting additions still to come.

Thank you for being part of the journey. We can't wait to share what's next.

We talk motherhood, relationships, identity, personal growth, music memories, and all the beautifully chaotic moments that come with trying to balance life while staying true to yourself. Tiffany shares her story with honesty, humor, and the kind of relatability that makes you feel like you're talking with an old friend.

Join us as we get to know the woman behind the co-host mic.

Because motherhood is better with music. 💚🎶

This week on Moms and Their Music, we sit down with Lauren: music lover, old-school jam enthusiast, certified queen of finding the best mashups, and somehow… a complete wizard at balancing motherhood, work life, and still keeping music at the center of it all. 🎶

We talk about the songs that instantly transport you back to specific moments in life, the memories attached to certain artists and albums, and how music has a way of following us through every version of ourselves.

From nostalgia-filled conversations to Dave Matthews Band appreciation and the chaos of trying to balance real life while still holding onto the things that make you you, this episode feels like one long conversation with someone who truly gets it.

Funny, reflective, music-filled, and very MATM-coded.

Some friendships don’t stay the same… but somehow, they still stay. 🎶💚

In this episode, the moms sit down with guest co-host Lexy to talk about long-term friendships; the kind that survive growing up, changing, drifting, reconnecting, motherhood, chaos, and completely different life eras.

Lexy and Tianna have been friends off and on for 17 years, while Tiffany and Casia have shared over 21 years of friendship, history, memories, and life in different seasons. Together, the conversation dives into the songs attached to those years, the people we used to be, and what it means to grow alongside friendships instead of outgrowing them.

Funny, nostalgic, reflective, and full of friendship lore, this episode is a reminder that some people really do become part of your soundtrack for life. 🎶

Concert etiquette… but not in the way you think.

This episode isn’t about rules; it’s about the full experience. The energy you walk in with, the choices you make before the first song even plays, and the moments that turn a night into something you never forget.

We get into our favorite shows, pre-show rituals, outfit debates (comfort vs. showing OUT), indoor vs. outdoor venues, and what it really looks like bringing kids into concert spaces.

And of course… a few stories that probably should’ve stayed at the concert...

No perfect guidelines. No right or wrong way to do it.

Just real moms, real music, and the way we actually experience it.

Press play 💋
