Surviving Average

Jenna and Brittany talk about the challenges that arise when playdates for the kids greatly outnumber girl's nights for the moms. From differing parenting styles, to finding new friends in strange places, we discuss the rollercoaster that is keeping and finding friends while the days are long and years are short raising our kids.

Jenna and Brittany dive in to the top ten parenting debates. Teens and drinking? Discipline? Screen Time? It's the questions you debate with your friends as you navigate parenthood in 2021.

What's the best cure for the 2020 Covid BLAHs? Getting in our time machine and heading back to the 90s. A place where everything felt a little simpler. Join Jenna and Brittany as they laugh and remember when the biggest thing dividing North America was whether Backstreet Boys or N*Sync was better.

Worried? Join Jenna and Brittany as they talk about the hot topics moms everywhere are discussing on the eve of the 2020-2021 school year. Masks. Kids with masks. Science. Conspiracies. Why it’s more important now more than ever to have a village of support to lean on to navigate the last few months of 2020. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or a little crazy, you're in the right place.

Britt and Jenna check in on how everyone’s mental health is holding up, and end up off the rails in record time. But hey, who doesn’t love a good rant on politics, a deep dive into Canadian musical legends, and advice on how to find your happy place? It’s like the girl’s nights out you’ve been missing, wrapped up in one podcast.

Brittany and Jenna begin by touching on systemic racism and recent acts of violence against people of colour in the US, and Brittany talks about what it's like as a police family watching these events unfold. Brittany then channels her inner Barbara Walters and puts Jenna on the hot seat for Part 2 of "Getting to Know You".

Average becomes extraordinary in unprecedented times. Brittany and Jenna dive into these extraordinary times, vent a bit, and then dive into Part 1 of 2 "Getting to Know You" where we learn about Brittany from cradle to the engaging, "average", amazing woman she is today. (and yes, Jenna wrote that last part because Brittany would never say that about herself.)

Brittany and Jenna dive into what it's like to survive average - and an international pandemic. Long story short - don't be a jerk!

Additional note - Jenna here ... we know the audio quality here is not good. Why not just re-record you ask? Honestly, we enjoyed this episode and hope you will be able to overlook the audio issues and enjoy it too. We're doing some equipment changes to make sure this doesn't happen again. Please be patient with us - after all, we are only average! :)

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be married to a police officer? Jenna and Brittany are joined by Tiana, a fellow police spouse to compare and contrast the experiences of being married to a member of a municipal police force, with that of the nomadic RCMP officer. Jenna asks the questions that many people from outside law enforcement always wonder, and Tiana and Brittany shed some light on the struggles, triumphs, and realities of marriage spent backing the blue.

** Please note we recorded this before COVID-19 was officially deemed a pandemic. We know some people are at serious risk. Take precautions, wash your hands and don't panic.

New Year, New Us? Heck No! Join Jenna and Brittany while we discuss setting, keeping - or maybe even scrapping resolutions altogether! We take a look at the challenges faced at this time of year - between the pressures of the holidays and the unrealistic expectations of the new year. But hey - does even matter? In the end we're all lying on instagram anyway!
