Two Moms, Too Much Coffee

Traveling internationally with a baby sounds intimidating, and honestly, it can be. In this episode of Two Moms Too Much Coffee, we break down what it is really like to fly internationally with a baby or toddler.

From packing lists and baby gear to sleep, naps, food, screen time, and long haul flights, Tempestt shares firsthand experience traveling abroad with kids, including navigating Heathrow, public transportation, car seats, strollers, and hotel sleep setups.

We talk honestly about what works, what is not worth packing, when renting baby gear makes more sense, and why traveling with babies is really just parenting in another location. No sugarcoating, no Pinterest perfection, just real advice for moms who want to keep living their lives after kids.

If you are planning international travel with a baby, flying with a toddler, or just trying to survive a long flight with kids, this episode is for you.

Trigger warning: This episode discusses Black maternal death, medical neglect, and birth trauma.

In this episode of Two Moms Too Much Coffee, Tempestt and Jhshell talk about what it feels like to walk into a hospital as a Black woman and know that you are more likely to die during childbirth than women of other races.

We name and sit with the stories of:

Mercedes Wells, Jessica Ross, DeChelle Johnson, Jayde Garrison, Tanisha Williams, Krystal Anderson, Tori Bowie, and Amber Rose Isaac, and we talk about what their experiences reveal about how Black women are treated in labor and delivery.

We also share:

• Our own birth stories and fears

• How partners, doulas, and friends can advocate in the room

• How bias and pain minimization show up for Black women

• Why some Black moms feel like there is no truly safe option for birth

At the end of the episode, we talk about self advocacy, changing providers when something feels off, using privilege in the room when you have it, and why knowing your options before you go into labor can save your life.

Today we dive into one of the most talked about shifts in modern parenting. AI nannies, robot caregivers, digital monitoring tools and the rise of tech inside our homes. Parents are already using AI for bedtime stories, tracking sleep, automating tasks and in some parts of the world, trusting robots to act as full caregivers. We break down the benefits, risks and what this means for child safety, emotional development and the mental load of motherhood.

Jhshell shares her perspective as a former pediatric occupational therapist, including why AI companions for autistic kids raise major concerns. Tempestt explains why being anti AI is a losing battle and why families need real AI literacy to help children navigate technology safely. We also unpack the cost of childcare, the invisible labor moms carry and whether AI could actually support parents without replacing them.

If you want an honest look at the future of AI parenting and what families need to protect their kids, this episode is for you.

Cardi B x Bobbie, the collab we didn’t know we needed.

This week, Tempestt and Jhshell dive into Cardi B’s new partnership with Bobbie and why it’s sparking such a real conversation around formula feeding guilt.

We open up about our own experiences with breastfeeding, weaning, and combo feeding and the invisible pressure that tells moms “breast is best” even when it costs them their sanity. From postpartum anxiety to the real financial and emotional cost of breastfeeding, this episode is a judgment-free zone.

We also talk about:

• Why women of color are disproportionately affected by maternal health challenges

• How society still shames moms for how they feed their babies

• Why combo feeding deserves more love

• And how fed is best but supporting your own mental health is better

New episodes every Wednesday.

AI in mom life, ChatGPT for parenting hacks, Huckleberry sleep tracking, meal planning with AI, and mom mental load relief.

This week on Two Moms Too Much Coffee, Tempestt and Jhshell dive into how moms are using AI in real life. From tracking naps in Huckleberry to letting ChatGPT meal plan for toddlers and partners with high blood pressure, we unpack whether AI actually makes mom life easier or just adds another layer of work.

We also talk about how AI helps with communication, registry planning, and even finding parenting books — plus the environmental impact most people don’t know about.
