In their last episode before the holiday break, Molly shares the mental gymnastics of prepping for “flight survival” with a 13-month-old, while gearing up for her upcoming vacation. Meanwhile, Megan opens up about her discomfort with typical dance attire before recapping her weekend at the Pompe Family Meet-Up.

When it comes to what they did for themselves, Molly and her husband enjoyed a well-deserved night out celebrating close friends, and Megan attended an inspiring session by the women of Making Lemon Cake—a heartfelt discussion about finding joy amidst the emotional challenges of managing a child's medical complexities.

This week’s main topic? A nostalgic (and hilarious) look at the stark differences between childhood in the ’90s and growing up today. From the thrill of seeing your crush pop up on MSN Messenger to those legendary unsupervised mall trips, the ladies ask the question: Is childhood even fun anymore?

We hope you enjoyed Season 1 of The Momsense Podcast! We cannot wait to come back from Season 2 in January.

This week on The Momsense Podcast, Molly and Megan kick things off by announcing an end to the podcast… for season 1 that is. The ladies are taking a well-deserved break to enjoy the holidays with their families, and will return with some exciting enhancements in early January.  

Okay, okay! Let’s get to the updates. Molly and Meg come with a mutual update—because believe it or not, the girls actually saw each other twice this week (with their friend Bri in tow!). As for individual updates, Molly finally won in her Fantasy League, and Megan is prepping for a weekend away.

When it comes to what they did for themselves, Molly called in reinforcements—sometimes you just need an extra set of hands so you can tackle those urgent to-dos without a toddler attached to your hip. Meanwhile, Megan enjoyed some uninterrupted one-on-one time with Penny, and it was exactly the kind of soul-filling moment every seudo-aunt needs.

Then, the ladies dive into this week’s main topic: their very own take on the Kanye Betrayal List. From adorable yet questionably designed baby clothes to the cruel reality of health insurance, Molly and Meg unpack the many things they feel personally wronged by. It’s an episode worth tuning in for—because if there’s one thing these two can bring the energy for, it’s a good-natured vent session.

This week, Molly mourns the loss of the second nap as her 1-year-old officially transitions down to one (definitely not her choice!). Megan gives a few quick updates tied to last week before diving headfirst into her latest obsession—Dancing With the Stars (she’s firmly on Team Daniella!).

When it comes to the things they did for themselves, Molly finally cracked open The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, while Megan? She’s calling it a win just surviving a week of solo parenting… with a cold.

Then, the Momsense Moms dive into this week’s topic: Mom Tips! From beloved product recs to real-life how-to’s, they’re sharing the little hacks that helped them survive those early days—so you can skip at least some of the trial and error.

New episode every Wednesday!

Thanks for joining us for another episode of The Momsense Podcast with Molly and Meg!

Molly starts this week by recapping the highs and lows of Sunday, September 28th. From finally finding a dream house to mourning for her community after a horrible tragedy strikes the local church. Molly has had to say goodbye to her furry friend this week, which adds another layer of grief to this week's updates. 

Megan fills the listeners in on the experience she and her oldest had with a school program (Wild!) and her feelings around the upcoming lab work for her youngest. However, leave it to Meg to brighten up the updates by discussing her love for motherhood during the school year. Meg's teaching hat goes on, and she's in her element. 

The ladies then discuss what they have done for themselves in hopes of teaching their girls what positive mental health looks like. Molly shares that she is accepting help with Penny in order to make it to the gym and/or run errands as needed. Meg discusses her anniversary date and their experience with having family watch the girls for the first time since Meg’s youngest was born! Go Meg!

The ladies then get into the recap of Penelope’s first birthday and Molly's planning woes. All we will give away is that there were many popped balloons, killer cupcakes for the guests (not Penny), and someone got bit. I’d say it was a success!

New episode every Wednesday!

The Momsense Moms jump back into a Power Hour. This time focusing on Mom Burn Out. They review the primary causes of their burn out,  and the signs and symptoms that let them know a storm is brewing. 

The women wrap by providing a few ideas of how to fight burn out from both a prevention and a repair point of view. From small things like getting out of the house to spending more time with other moms to starting a podcast with your best friend. 

The moms aim to help bring moms together on a topic that is so relatable and also frustrating for the mom involved and their families. Thanks for listening, and don’t forget to quarter your kid's grapes.

This week, Molly and Meg kick things off with their weekly review, commenting on sleep schedules and tantrums. Molly had to do some heavy editing to ensure they didn’t share any spoilers in their discussion about the new documentary on Netflix, Unknown Number.

The ladies review what they did for themselves this week. Molly is planning something fun for the finale of The Summer I Turned Pretty (review to come), and Meg reviews her luck at the mom resale event “Just Between Friends”.

Molly and Meg then got into their discussion about boundaries they have set now that they have kids to look out for. As the brilliant Dr. Becky says “A boundary is something you tell someone you will do, and it requires the other person to do nothing”. They could be seen as a mature form of communication, but instead often rub others the wrong way.

Thanks for joining us again for a conversation about the highs and lows of motherhood! Don’t forget to quarter your kids' grapes!

This week, the Momsense Moms start with updates on sleep regressions and Meg's upcoming week of chaos. When the moms switch gears and start discussing what they did for themselves, Molly drops a bomb and discusses her fantasy football team (shout out to @ulyandernesto on TikTok for the draft inspo!!). Meg is going shopping ALONE Just Between Friends, a massive resale event. While the merchandise is kid-related, it is a no-kids event! Go Mamas!

The women then took a page out of the Mom Group Chats book and focused the episode on the difference in parenting between generations. Unexpectedly, the women get a little sassy about the major eye-rolls they get when they are just doing their best to parent in 2025.
