Guys, I leave no stone unturned in this episode for you, for better or worse. I give some absolute unsolicited opinions in some random spots. But this is a total deep dive into my experience trying to get pregnant, what finally worked for us, what I've learned along the way and what I'm doing differently this time around. Here's a snapshot of what I talked about and I pretty much stick to this outline in order.

Other supplements I love (Cymbiotika!)

Pregnancy weight gain and loss (Showing all my cards here!)

My exercise routine (pre-kids, during both pregnancies and after)

In this mini-whine we are generally talking about the fact that as parents none of us really know what we are doing or how the decisions we make will impact our kids in the long run. It's really just our best-educated guess as a shot in the dark. Casey goes on a random rant about the culture of American sports. We talk about making the agonizing decision about where to send our kids to school. It's a delightful random ride if I (Casey) do say so myself.

Hit play and listen to us whine and LOL at the shitshow.

Forgive the slow build-up on this episode we may or may not have recorded this episode at 8AM on a weekend and let's just say the exhaustion after a weekend with the kids is real lol. We have a super candid conversation about adult friendships. We talked about the shifts we felt as we had our first child and then our second. Elizabeth talks about how she and her friends showed up for the first one in the group to become a mom, and it's a shining example of how it should be done, by the way. Casey talks about breaking up with a "best friend" and how it affected her making new ones. We talk about the importance of quality over quantity when it comes to the people in our lives and the time we spend with them. 

Hit play and then hit us up with your thoughts in the DM!

Welcome to another MINI WHINE episode. This time Elizabeth and Casey are candidly chatting about screen time. These two veteran moms share their experiences with having one kid, two kids and then three kids and how each "season" of mom life has needed different rules and boundaries. Casey talks about how unintentionally her kids have had zero TV time for the past three months and the pair discuss their screen time rules for travel and restaurants. Of course there is other "momsense" like registering for Taylor tickets, kids biting and other ridiculous things. Enjoy!

It's "just us" today. Your trusty co-hosts Casey Crowe Taylor and Elizabeth Carberry. And today we tackle the mom version of Mt. Everest, self-care for moms. Was that dramatic? Maybe, but it's how we feel. What counts as "self-care"? What doesn't? what makes us feel guilty about "self-care"? How do we approach self-care? What different levels are there of self-care? We go deep and we go shallow (lol) in this episode as always. There are so real LOL moments and some moments that make you think. 

Don't be a stranger, come talk to us about self-care on Instagram!

Join us in this candid and eye-opening podcast as we dive into the raw and unfiltered realities of motherhood in 2023. In this episode, we have a heartfelt conversation with Jenna Searby, Pediatric Nurse and Sleep Consultant, who opens up about her experience with postpartum depression for the first time, despite being a seasoned mother of five. Elizabeth shares her journey of navigating the joys and challenges of co-sleeping and emphasizes the importance of establishing a solid routine for better sleep. We also explore the age-old question of whether to bathe or not to bathe stinky kids (spoiler alert Casey is all for the stink lol) finding humor and solidarity in the messy moments. Lastly, Jenna shares her experience of how she dealt with an unexpected maternity leave and honestly shares that she's not 100% sure on the future of how she wants to run her business. If that sounds familiar, go back and listen to Episode 007 of The Mom Whine and hear about how all five of Casey and Elizabeth's combined maternity leaves also did not go as planned - so much realness in that ep!
