Mother's Day in quarantine is not quite the same as Mother's Day at the spa (or our dream Mother's Days, according to Natasha and Jenn and discussed in this episode), but still, we'd like to believe you can design a dreamy day of relaxing, reading, and staying in bed in your coziest PJs! We've also rounded up some great gifts, in case your significant other needs/wants a hint!

But also, what if you need a good read for all that relaxing? Well, we've got you covered there, too. Natasha and Jenn share the books in their current rotation, as well as Good Reads Best Books of 2019!

Are you struggling to lose weight, and just can't seem to make headway? Us too. So, after a friend of Jenn's inspired her to try Noom, after her own success, Jenn had to talk Natasha into the ride as well. And here we are, 5 and 7 weeks into it, with stories to tell! It's so frustrating to not be able to feel comfortable in your own clothes, and we were over it. Join us as we share what Noom is all about (Jenn ignored their advertisements for YEARS, regrettably!), and why it might just be the right fit for you, too!

Do you find yourself telling yourself the same thing again and again, only to be let down by the reality of your own fatigue, motivation, past experiences, childhood or background that influences how things actually play out in your life? Join us as we discuss all the lies we tell ourselves, and how to get a grip!

Join us to discuss tricks & tips for raising kids who are confident, and who have resiliency!
