Surviving Average

Pop the champagne!

Our first guest Tammy Plunkett joins us for an episode that is a must-listen for all parents. We started by asking questions about her journey parenting a trans kid, and ended up reflecting on how parenting struggles are universal- whether talking gender identity or which sport to pick.

Join us on our 10th episode where we share some laughs, a touch of enlightenment, and a whole lot of love.

On Episode 9 - Brittany and Jenna dive into the female midlife crisis, show each other a little bit of love and appreciation, and create one big therapy session in podcast form.

This week Jenna and Brittany talk about what they know best. Nothing, and everything. From Self-Care and other buzz words, to rants and raves, Jenna and Brittany laugh their way through the sun, the moon, and everything in between.

This episode Jenna and Brittany talk generations. Millennials are an easy target for memes and Boomer jokes, but is it fair? We dive into stereotypes, multi-generational baggage, and whether or not geography changes generational qualities.

Ahhhh the online Mommy groups. On this episode, Jenna and Brittany discuss all things Facebook. Brittany starts by sharing her struggles on whether to censor or delete threads that get out of hand on Surviving Average, and Jenna wonders why more moms aren’t looking for other moms to do odd jobs.

Join us as we take a deep dive into all the different online moms to be.. or not to be.

This week Jenna and Brittany are back talking summer; where the living is.. easy?? They catch up on what’s been keeping them busy, their own summer vacations, and the pressure to give your kids the most magical summer with copious amounts of Instagram proof.

On this week’s episode Jenna and Brittany talk about being from Alberta. The misconceptions, and the ranch culture that’s integral to understanding where we come from. We talk Stampede, the controversy from animal rights groups, and why no one is talking about the Drag show in the heart of the biggest western showcase in the world. Get comfortable, grab your favorite drink and let’s get down to our roots.

Don’t forget to release that pressure! This week Jenna and Brittany decompress after an insane last few weeks of school and activities while laughing about their failures, their triumphs, and the reality of mothering in a social media vacuum. Grab a glass of your favorite indulgence, relax, and give yourself permission to hop off the mom-guilt interstate for a minute.

Episode Two: Pride and Prejudice

Jenna and Brittany talk about how they met, and why a few nights on the patio with wine, politics, and great conversation inspired them to create a podcast where other women could feel the same way as they did those nights because sometimes schedules just get too damn busy.

They cover Pride, it’s importance to the LGBTQ2S community, and why straight women need to make sure we’re being better allies- not only for our kids but for the kids that come in and out of our lives every day as moms, coaches, friends and aunties.

Finally, we share what we sipped on, and our lessons for our littles.

A very special thank you to Tara Warburton, an incredibly talented singer/songwriter for the use of her beautiful song, "Raise Up My Spirits" for our theme song.

Happy Wine Wednesday!
