THEMiDMOM

A v pleasant flocking surprise - from the archives of The Two Bit Birds i will be re-releasing most if not all of the podcast episodes i did with Simone Dahl.

We're currently approaching the 1 year anniversary for the release of The Tortured Poets Department by none other than Miss Taylor Alison Swift. She dropped it last April 19th and before she did, she released a bunch of playlist she made about the 5 stages of grief...so this week on The Mid Mom Podcast, you will be enjoying me fangirl over T Swizzle and i'm lowkey embarrassed but also proud of how far i've come lol.

In this episode of Two-bit Birds, we’re spiraling—gracefully—through the five stages of heartbreak, Taylor Swift-style.

With the release of her five new Apple Music playlists, each aligned with a stage of grief, Taylor has once again turned her discography into a therapy session we didn’t know we needed. The Birds start with Stage One: Denial, diving into the playlist “I Love You, It’s Ruining My Life”—a haunting mix of rose-colored delusion and desperate hope, featuring tracks like “Lavender Haze” and “Lover.”

But this isn't just a lyric breakdown—it’s a reframe. The hosts unpack the emotional armor built into these songs, reflect on the version of Taylor who wrote them, and ask: Was it love, or just denial in a sparkly dress?

Along the way, they explore her past relationships, the evolution of her storytelling, and why so many of us saw ourselves in that romantic fog—and didn’t want to leave.

It’s sad girl season, it’s grief pop, and it’s beautifully unhinged. Tune in.

Stay tuned for the other 4 this week, and then i'll post our follow up next week AFTER  the first anniversary.

i'll still be offering your regularly scheduled mid mom program lol - that's what my Grandma called her soaps back in the day ;)

Anywhoo - eat pray slay.

Welcome to menopause kweens. 

This is the place where you feel nothing but dead inside, your thermostat is broken, your patience is thinner than your once luscious locks and lashes, and your gunt is popping off like ur in your second fuckin trimester on the fourth of JULY!

In this episode, we dive into the glorious chaos of perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. From hot flashes that feel like spontaneous combustion to mood swings that could put you on tge FBi'S watchlist lol.

That's why we’re unpacking the symptoms, stages, and survival strategies.

Me and Chat GPT break it all down -  bust myths, decode the hormone rollercoaster, and share real-life stories & coping tips (because wine isn’t always the answer… allegedly).

It’s not the end - it’s a hormonal rebirth. Just like the RiZZURECTiON.

THE WHiTE LOTUS - from the controversy with the theme song and the dynamics between everyone who died...The Mid Man and i break it all down.

AND YES THERE ARE SPOiLERS!!!

We analyze the show's messiest friendships, identity crises, and textbook self-sabotage, while also spiraling (as per usual) into real-life parallels like ADHD brain fog, hormone drama, and why everything is weird as hell in your 40s.

It’s part pop culture analysis, part therapy session—with a theme song that's still stuck in your head.

This Jello Salad-inspired episode of The Mid Mom Podcast serves up a chaotic, messy mix of nuance, sarcasm, burning questions, and the hottest dish of all: House in Habit’s JRK and the Substack friend fallout no one saw coming (but kind of did). 

Host Al Hudson juggles four drinks—one for each personality—and attempts to navigate ten billion intrusive thoughts while surviving the gayest, fakest, most AI-generated timeline known to man. Like why are we living in The Truman Show?From losing her mind in real time to confronting Canada’s political theater (hi, Mark Carney), this episode spirals with purpose.

We talk influencer delusion, failed homemade tea, Mormon family baggage, and a dad who once guarded royalty (or maybe not). Plus: tangents on perimenopause, midlife chaos, and the cult-like rabbit holes of social media girlboss journalism.

If you’re a middle aged sleep-deprived, sarcasm-soaked nocturnal little gremlin troll who thrives on nuance, mess, and meaning—this one’s for you. Also can someone please pass me some HRT?! 

Strap on ur strap on Kweens lol - the Lords work is calling.

ENJOY!!

Jessica Reed Krause (aka House in Habit) was the Substack queen of curated chaos—conspiracies, Camel filters, and carefully cropped truth bombs thanks to her team. 

What started as conspiracy commentary on a Wednesday - that i legit thought was a PR stunt - cuz AREN'T THEY ALWAYS a PR STUNT?? HELLO!! lol,  has now exploded into a full-blown PDA - Public Display of Attacking, ft. the main event hostess herself - Ms Jessica Reed Krause, Candace Owens, Emilie Hagen, Denise Bovee, RFK Jr., and Olivia Nuzzi the “Big Boned” alleged mistress of sorts. JRK, the freelance "mommy blogger" turned Trump supporter and leader of an independent journalistic empire is collapsing in real-time—with Instagram receipts, veiled Palm Beach shade, and digital dirty laundry.

Think March Madness, but there's no more final four - just offbase fouls and frenemy feuds. The team has completely imploded right before every mother in North America's tired dry eyes. WE AiN'T SLEEPiNG.

Was it clout? Was it cash? Was it something we'll never know? Kinda like the Epstein files that JRK got that coveted white grade 5 binder of redacted names - nothing new.

Plus of couse a few ADHDetours into menopause, hormone therapy, and why becoming a cult leader and going off-grid might actually be the answer.

It’s wild. It’s raw. It’s real. And yes—there’s an undercover voice note you're gonna wanna hear. And just so you know i went to Chat GPT a few hours post record -  to confim it's legit...otherwise would not be spilling the tea;)

Women everywhere are shook with the very public FEMALE FRIENDSHIP FEUD happening on instagram stories right now between Jessica Reed Krause, Candace Owens, Denise Bovee, and Emilie Hagen, so while i try to wrap my head around it, this feels like the perfect time to re-release this show about friendship fallout that i did on The Two Bit Birds with Simone Dahl last year.

Something we all have experienced as women and girls and something that we will never really understand. 

Substack coming soon, and i'll be doing a followup episode both with and without Simone (featured here) cause there's just always so much to discuss when it come to the layers of complex female friendships.

Part numero deux kicks off with a hot flash & menopause talk before diving into her TikTok crusade against bad political takes. She rants (lovingly) about TikTok’s mysterious algorithm and calls out chat GPT for being compromised - same with Google...if you don't know - now you know.

Things take a sharp—and hilarious—turn as she shares a personal tale of bleaching and buzzing teenagers' hair in her kitchen, casually contemplating whether she should just open a full-blown salon. Then, it’s back to politics with bold takes on Canada’s future leaders uhh Mark Carney?? Like where did this guy come from - oh right - the WEF, and Pierre Poilievre - he's 100% getting my vote in April and i can't wait! There's also some spicy commentary on immigration, what. i've noticed at Costco, and a wild pitch for Alberta becoming the 51st U.S. state.

Daddy DJT is sounding pretty dam good right now.

In this p.1 of 2 episode of The Mid Mom Podcast, Al Hudson comes in hot—armed with sass, smarts, and a TikTok alter ego she calls a “freedom fighter,” bravely battling bad takes and blocking trolls like it’s her full-time job.

From political to personal chaos, she dives into both American and Canadian politics with a special roast of the Trudeau dynasty and their oily investments. Al questions the legitimacy of political polls, exposes the reach of the International Democrat Union - the IDU, and sprinkles in her signature commentary on ADHD, menopause, and midlife mayhem.

She also theorizes wildly (and hilariously) about Greta Thunberg and Mark Carney, throws in some White Lotus gossip, and somehow ends up getting roped into  bleaching 3 teenage boy’s hair. 

It’s a real midmom vibe.

Stay tuned for part 2.

Al goes all in on RHOSLC spilling unfiltered opinions on the cast and their chaotic Mormon-adjacent drama. She unpacks the lingering impact of the COVID-19 era on moms and kids - can you belive it's been 5 years?? Then dives into the psychological mess that is social media (and why our photo storage is basically a digital hoarder’s nightmare), and shares her own menopause misadventures. 

Expect a spicy White Lotus review, a hilarious roast of Hollywood’s never-ending fakery, and—because this wouldn’t be Mid Mom without a conspiracy—Al ACCIDENTALY takes a deep dive into some eyebrow-raising connections between Canada’s elite, including Mark Carney, Kyle Kemper, and the Trudeau dynasty. Grab your tinfoil hat and a cock - tail; this one's a ride.

ENJOY!!!

iT'S MY PARTY so LUCKY YOU!! HERE'S 17 LiFE LESSONS YOU NEED TO KNOW. 

In this episode of The Mid Mom Podcast, Al turns the big 4-5 and gifts you 17 hard-earned lessons—because, let’s be honest, if she had to suffer through perimenopause, bad Botox, and society’s nonsense, you might as well learn something from it.

She spills on aging, menopause, and why self-care isn't just bubble baths and overpriced serums (spoiler: it's setting boundaries and giving fewer fucks). Al drags Hollywood's insane beauty standards (AGAIN LOL), questions the ROI on cosmetic procedures, and gets real about dealing with her own mom’s aging—because apparently, having aging parents is hust like taking care of toddlers.

She also breaks down the fuck budget 🤑 (there's only so much to go around), the art of being unapologetically yourself, and why joy should always be a top priority. 

Basically, if you've ever felt personally victimized by gravity, estrogen, or society at large, this one's for you.
