The Mom Salon

This week at the mom salon we're getting into all the things our husbands just don’t understand about motherhood (and probably never will). But here’s the deal: maybe they’re not meant to fully get it. In this episode, we talk about the mom stuff that flies over their heads, the mental load they don’t see, and how to stop chasing understanding and start asking for actual support. Funny, honest, and full of “YES, THAT!” moments.

Tune in—you’ll feel seen, heard, and a little less alone.

We’re back from spring break & kicking this week off with an episode we recorded at the content studio that we will be hosting a live show from in May and the ultimate moms night out! Sharing all the details soon.

In this episode, we are throwing it way back — to the days of dial-up internet, AIM away messages, and when your biggest online risk was accidentally chatting with a 40-year-old man in a Blink-182 chat room. 😳

Remember your AIM screen name? Because we do… and it was probably something like x0xBabiiGrl4Evax0x. (No regrets, just vibes.)

This week we’re talking about how the internet used to be — late ‘90s/early 2000s-style — and how it’s wildly different (and way more dangerous) for our kids today.
From the innocence of the early internet to the minefield of Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok — we’re unpacking how the online world has changed big time and what that means for our kids' mental health and development. (Spoiler: it’s not great for their still-developing brains. 🧠⚠️)

If you’re a mom who remembers the struggle of waiting for someone to get off the phone so you could log on — and now you’re navigating raising kids in an always-online world — this episode is for you.

✨ It’s funny, eye-opening, and just the start of the conversations our generation of parents NEED to be having to see the changes we so desperately want for our children!

 The Mom Salon is back with a powerful new episode! This week, we’re breaking the ice with our first guest — our amazing friend Gina, a proud mom to an autistic child. 
In honor of Autism Awareness Month, we dive deep into Gina’s journey: from her mom intuition to the diagnosis, and all the ways we can show up and support moms raising children with special needs. 
This episode is filled with touching moments, insights, and stories that will resonate with so many. 

Trust us, you won’t want to miss it! Tune in now!
