In this episode, we chat with Amy Wilson and Margaret Ables who are the co-hosts of “What Fresh Hell” podcast. They’re two moms with tons of experience in comedy. Amy wrote a bestselling parenting book, toured the country with a one-woman show called Mother Load, and was a series regular on several sitcoms (like Felicity). Margaret started out in standup, wrote for PBS Kids and MTV, and became a senior writer for Nickelodeon’s “Nick Mom.” Along the way, they also each became mothers of three children, now aged 8 to 18. 

Amy and Margaret share with us their comedic view on motherhood and their advice for moms struggling to get through the nitty-gritty days in motherhood. Hint...it has to do with the long game and laughter!

Being a mom is not an easy job. We all can agree on that most days. 

I’m not saying that it isn’t a great job, but when you are knee-deep in a tantruming kid, a broken faucet in the kitchen spewing water all over you, all while your oldest is yelling that if you don’t leave right now she will be late to volleyball practice-

Let’s just say it’s hard to focus on the good times.

In this episode, we are chatting with Rachel Nielson, host of the “3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms” Podcast and creator of the Flecks of Gold Journal. She helps moms love motherhood as much as they love their children. Rachel shares with us her thoughts on motherhood, the ups and downs, and how she has found a way to reclaim her joy during those rough days in parenting.

As moms, we often prioritize everything before ourselves. It’s just what we do. We are givers. But we also know about the importance of taking some “me time”. And how do many of us do it? By waking up earlier or going to bed later, and thus- sacrificing our sleep. What if there was a better way?

In this episode, we are joined by Kelly Myerson, the founder of Being Well with Kelly, a certified Occupational Therapist, sleep expert, wellness coach, and co-author of the best-selling book The Ultimate Guide to Self-healing Volume 4.
