In this hilarious episode of Thriving in the Chaos, Annie records straight from her laundry room to unpack the absolute circus that is getting the kids dressed. From tag trauma and toddler fashion to baby blowouts with Olympic timing, she shares the raw (and ridiculous) reality behind the morning wardrobe struggle. If you've ever cried over socks, this one's for you.

Bedtime: the nightly descent into chaos that starts with lavender candles and ends with existential worm questions, feral toddlers, and someone demanding toast at 10:30 PM.

In this episode of Thriving in the Chaos, Annie unpacks the absolute circus that is putting kids to bed—with bonus appearances from a screaming toddler who needs to “see your eyeballs” and a husband who somehow solves everything with one thundering “Lights out.”

If you’ve ever been held hostage by snack demands, bedtime negotiations, or tiny humans who treat sleep like a personal betrayal, this one’s for you.

Pour yourself some cold chamomile tea (because you know you won’t drink it hot) and come laugh (or cry) through the bedtime madness.

Because surviving bedtime isn’t just a skill—it’s an Olympic sport.

Nothing humbles a mom faster than realizing (mid-aisle at Walmart) that the poop has escaped. In today's episode of Thriving in the Chaos, Annie relives the horrifying and somehow hilarious trauma of the diaper years: the explosive blowouts, the desperate public restroom cleanups, and the moments that permanently scar you (and your diaper bag).

From a villain origin story involving a Walmart party aisle to why a "code brown" should be an official parenting alert system. This episode is for every mom who's ever sprinted across a store with a leaking baby and a look of pure panic.

Grab your wipes and get ready to laugh, gag, and maybe cry a little. Because in motherhood? It's not if disaster strikes, it's when.

Welcome to the diaper days.

In the very first episode of Thriving in the Chaos, Annie sets the tone loud and sticky: this is not a parenting advice podcast. It's for the moms Googling "how to fake your own disappearance" while clutching a doll head and an iced coffee.

Expect no hacks, no Pinterest perfect tips. Just real, hilarious stories about blowouts in Walmart, toddler logic, sock trauma and more.

If you've ever felt like you're doing your best and barely holding it together (sometimes in the same moment), you're in the right place.

Welcome to the Chaos.

It's loud. It's real. It's usually a little sticky.
