What better way to close out the first season of No Guide For This than with Caroline Baudino? You know her for her edgy, effortless style and the confidence she radiates on Instagram at @shop.with.caroline—and she brings that same energy to today's episode. Jen and Sasha sit down with Caroline to talk all things motherhood, identity, and what it really looks like to “choose happy” on the hard days.

She opens up about parenting two boys (hello, teen years!), building a community rooted in authenticity, and how her own self-image evolved after becoming a mom. Caroline shares how style became more than just fashion—it became a way to reconnect with herself, and help other women do the same. From launching her podcast Coming in Hot, to breaking free from the idea that effort equals vanity, to navigating the messy, beautiful layers of parenting—Caroline keeps it real the whole way through.

If you’ve ever felt like you lost a little of yourself in motherhood, or just need a reminder that confidence is something you can reclaim—this one’s for you.

Let’s be honest—we’ve all done it. Before having kids, it was way too easy to judge the mom handing her toddler an iPad at dinner or the mom who can't get control of her screaming kids on a long flight. But now? It hits different. In this episode, Jen and Sasha get real about all the ways judgment shows up in parenting —from side-eyes at the playground to those painful moments they've felt judged themselves.

They open up about times they’ve caught themselves silently judging (yep, even subconsciously), how it feels to be on the receiving end, and why this kind of judgment is so common—especially among parents. They also dive into unsolicited parenting advice, the pressure to perform in public, and whether social media is helping or hurting our perception of “perfect” parenting.

If you’ve ever said “I’d never do that” and then totally did—it’s okay. This one’s for you.
