Episode 149: This week, Kristen is joined by her bestie Brittany Cartwright! Brittany opens up about why she decided not to change her last name after marriage and shares all the exciting details about her podcast rebrand, When Reality Hits! They dive into the trailer for Season 2 of "The Valley," breaking down the scenes and discussing the moments that surprised them the most. Kristen even reveals some shocking things she had no idea even happened!

The conversation shifts to all things motherhood, with Brittany sharing her experience transitioning into her new self after becoming a mom, battling mom guilt, and finding peace amidst the chaos. They discuss everything from birth plans to what Brittany was most worried about when she first became a mom and what she’s learned along the way. Brittany gets real about breastfeeding, and shares which purchases have been the most helpful (and what’s been a total waste) when preparing for a baby.
