Not Another Momcast

After Laura was asked how one goes about manifesting something into reality, we decided to discuss what we understand about the concept of manifestation. Are there universal vibrations waiting to be harnessed? Is it just good old fashioned hard work and elbow grease? Both? Tune in, and tell us what YOU think!

Last week we talked about body image and how we are trying to break the cycle of thinking when it comes to our bodies and the food we put into it. It only made sense for us to continue the conversation around feeding our children and teaching them a new way of approaching the ways we fuel our bodies and being mindful of what makes us feel strong. The development of the feeding process is an interesting one, guiding the progression from first introduction of solid foods to watching them paint with quesadillas all over the dining table. It’s not been our favorite journey, and it’s one we suspect you can relate to!

In this episode we finally decided to begin tackling the topic of body image, a lifelong challenge for both of us. This topic is particularly important to us as humans whose struggles with body image are deeply ingrained, and it feels especially important now that we are moms to tiny humans. This conversation manages to cover a lot- and also barely scrapes the surface- and we think anyone who has ever tied their self worth to their outward appearance can relate to this one.

In today's episode we finally set out to have a casual conversation about the the thing that has come up in just about every episode, the trippiest and most thought-consuming illusion of them all, time. Danielle has several existential crises and forgets to talk out loud, while Laura educates the people on what she is pretty sure might be true about time as we know it.

Everyone wants their kids to be confident, and most of us also really care about bolstering their emotional intelligence (aka EQ). We believe these things go hand in hand, and today we discuss what we are actively doing to nourish these skills in our own kids, despite...or maybe BECAUSE of... our own struggles in these areas.

In this episode we answer a question posed by a listener - what's it like making podcast with your best friend, while being long-distance? Tune in to find out how we REALLY feel, complete with the highs, the lows, and the dangers of flailing toddler limbs near exposed eyeballs. 

In today's episode we have some VERY special guests, THE DADS! That’s right, in our tenth episode we will be hosting our very own husbands, the dads to our kids! We'll discuss the highs and lows of it all while the dads give us a little bit of the male perspective on this whole parenting thing. 

In this episode we circle back to a topic we mentioned in the very first episode and really wanted to discuss more in depth, paranormal activityyyyyy! That’s right folks, ghosts and ghouls, angels and demons, aliens and TikTok tarot readings. We thought it would be a good laugh, but as it turns out, we both take this stuff way too seriously! So tuck in guys, it's gonna get weird!

In this episode we discuss the topic of self care. What is it, what did it look like before kids, and what does it look like now? We discuss the struggles of carving out even the tiniest amount of time for yourself as a parent, Danielle grows a mustache, and Laura gets us canceled...need we say more?

On this week's episode, we dive deep into our postpartum experiences. We cover the spectrum of blissful to brutal truths. It's raw, it's vulnerable, it's postpartum.
