The Platinum Moms have done some reflection and soul-searching, only to discover that Tia and HoJo are the queens of the screen! That's right: Tia's a small-screen superstar (she was on Reading Rainbow, yo!), and HoJo appeared in an Oscar-nominated movie (Mr. Holland's Opus - that's HoJo in the orange shirt playing the trumpet.); but that's not exactly what we're talking about here. It's something more top-of-mind for moms. SCREEN TIME.

How much is too much screen time for our kids? Did we get too much when we were kids? Do we get too much now? From TV to phones to video games, computers and beyond, in this episodethe Platinum Moms dissect their own experience and how that informs things for the kiddos.

The Platinum Moms are on a mission to release some of the pressures that build up for women and to yell it from the rooftops that "self-care isn't selfish!"

A happier, more balanced, healthier and all-around more pleasant you isright around the corner. All you have to do is give yourself permission to put away the pressures we put on ourselves. Sounds easy, right? Well...let's just say there's a lot going on. In this episode, Tia and HoJo unpack some complex ideas and have a little armchair therapy together.

You're invited to put down the duster, turn off the vacuum, and listen in for a very personal episode of the Platinum Moms Podcast!

"Flow it, show it, long as God can grow it, my HAIR!" In E20, the Platinum Moms are going in-depth on a topic that's literally off the top of our heads: hair. We're talking about hair expectations, likes, dislikes, difficulties, trends, memories and much more.

It's more than just the inspiration for the podcast's name (we both had bright, platinum-colored hair when we started). It's an ever-present part of life. It's part of what the world sees about us first and can be a real battle every day to ensure it looks and feels the way we like.

What's your hair routine? What's your hair type? Leave a comment with your woes and wins!

This episode of the Platinum Moms podcast is about all things birthday-related, happy or otherwise! From childhood memories to adulthood expectations, Tia and Hojo dig deep into the half-frosted cakes of birthdays gone by.

Whose birthdays do you remember (if you're our loyal listener, Nicole, the answer is ALL OF THEM)? What's your stance on parties for kids? Do you count candles for yourself anymore or did you stop at some point?

Plus, a little lice-talk (your head is itching now, isn't it?) between neighbors and the Platinum Moms admit their back-to-school moments might have been a bit rushed...but come on! Moms are human, too!

With that, enjoy the latest episode of the Platinum Moms podcast! And if today is YOUR birthday, happy birthday!

Recorded on January 1, 2019, it's a New Year for the Platinum Moms! The Platinum Moms are taking on all that entails! The goals, the plans, and even a few misguided resolutions.

It's been about a month since the Platinum Moms have been able to get on the mics because of family, Christmas, and all that comes between. Can you relate? And can you guess which one of the Platinum Momshas the tree and trimmings up through New Year's Day and who Grinches the whole lot on Christmas Day?

"We're all busy," they say. Well, take a break from what you're doing and listen to this latest episode. It's the perfect soundtrack to your 2019 spring cleaning, trip to the gym, or whatever you have planned to better yourself this year. Our advice? LISTEN TO MORE PODCASTS! (Wink wink...)

It's Christmas treat time! The house smells like sweet things are in the oven (which you'll learn in this episode, comes with an element of danger in Tia's kitchen).  The Platinum Moms talk about Christmas food (treats, cookies and candies, and Christmas traditions in this episode. Tia shares her experience at the Dewils holiday Girls' Night Out fundraiser event (congrats to the winner of the Platinum Moms gift basket!) benefiting the Pink Lemonade Project. HoJo tells the story of an old friend who made the world's best peanut butter chocolate bars, and what's expected of the days following Christmas in her house (this year, it's Penuche)!

Haul out the Holly (we've got one, but we call her "HoJo"), because the Platinum Moms are kicking off the Christmas season!

Now that the dishes are done and the Thanksgiving leftovers have been either eaten or pitched, it's time to move on to the next series of holidays. Join Tia and HoJo as we talk about traditions, preparations, indoor and outdoor decorations (I learned everything I know about exterior illumination from you, Dad), shopping and so much more.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and the Platinum Moms are sharing all sorts of gratitude. From the recipes that we share with one another to frozen turkeys on desks at work...it's all good when you're talking about Thanksgiving!

Do you even sew, Bro? It's an all-out thread-fest on the latest episode of the Platinum Moms podcast, as Tia and HoJo talk about tension, buttonholes, quilting, bobbins and beyond.  Find out who is #TeamCut and who is #TeamTrace with their patterns, and how each of the moms got inspired to sit behind the machine in the first place.

Oh, friends.

So no one told you life was gonna be this way..."

In this episode of the Platinum Moms Podcast, Tia and HoJo are talking about friends (and notRoss, Rachel, Phoebe, Joey, Monica or Chandler).

Make some. Have some. Be one. Bless them and release them. There's a reason for them at every stage. It may be difficult to hold onto them as time and priorities change. What was a "friend" when you were little? How about in the teen years? Now think about it as an adult or as a parent...totally different, right? And what about having people over now that it's your house? So much becomes clear about the way our parents did things as we discuss what friendships were, are, and hopefully become. We learn a little about when we're ready for friends (Maslow's hierarchy of needs makes its way out of the psychology textbooks, into our discussion and then into this post ) and how each one of us approaches these relationships now that we have spouses and kiddos to worry about, too.
