In this episode of Crazy Real with Bugge & Zogg, Jenn and Marissa sit down with Allie, the Syracuse mom behind Cuse Moms' Club, to talk honestly about motherhood, community, and finding yourself again after baby.

Allie shares her story of growing up in Central New York, traveling the world, and eventually choosing to plant roots back in Syracuse to raise her son. She opens up about how unexpectedly hard postpartum was for her, what it felt like to feel isolated, and how that struggle led her to create Cuse Moms' Club as a support system for new moms who feel the same way.

Together they dive into:

• How Cuse Moms' Club started with simple postpartum circles and turned into a powerful local community
• The hidden gems of Syracuse for moms and littles, from library programs to sensory play and mom friendly events
• Balancing being a stay at home mom, a community leader, and a former teacher who still misses the classroom
• The pressure moms feel around “doing it right,” from sleep to breastfeeding to going back to work
• The reality of mom guilt, burnout, and why having other moms to lean on matters so much

If you are a CNY mom looking for things to do with your kiddos, craving real talk about motherhood, or just needing a reminder that you are not the only one figuring it out as you go, this conversation will feel like a warm hug and a deep breath.
