In this episode, Amaris and Kathy catch up and get real about how they’re doing mentally as summer winds down. Amaris opens up about feeling off her routine (and how her family thrives when one is in place) while reminding herself that these feelings are only temporary until the school year begins. Kathy, now nearing her third trimester, shares the exhaustion of keeping up with her toddler’s endless energy—without relying on screen time—and how it’s impacting her day-to-day. Together, they reflect on the small wins, like seeing improvements in their kids’ sleep as screen time gets cut back, and remind listeners that even in the chaos, they’re not alone.

It’s that time of year again — supply lists, new kicks, and pressure from every angle. In this episode, we’re diving into the unspoken back-to-school madness: Why are parents going broke trying to dress their kids like mini-influencers? Is it about the kids… or the comparison culture we’ve all fallen into?

We’re talking about the emotional and financial stress parents feel every fall — from over-the-top first day photo ops to judging moms who don’t show up with the “right” brands. Are we trying to set our kids up for success or just keep up with what we think everyone else is doing?

Join us as we unpack the wild expectations of modern motherhood during back-to-school season — and give ourselves permission to keep it real (even if that means sending our kid in hand-me-downs and a slightly crushed folder).

Summer always comes with this invisible pressure — to make it magical, memory-filled, and Pinterest-worthy for our kids. But what happens when life hits with sick days, sudden stomach bugs, and survival-mode parenting? In this episode, we get real about the expectations we put on ourselves as moms during summer break.

We talk about the guilt that creeps in when we’re just doing the bare minimum — because sometimes, that’s all we can do. Between cleaning up throw-up, keeping the house semi-functioning, and still trying to show up for our kids, this summer hasn’t exactly gone as planned. And if your kid caught that mysterious 24-hour stomach bug that came out of nowhere — yeah, we’re talking about that too.

Tune in for some laughs, a few “OMG, same” moments, and a reminder that a good summer doesn’t have to be perfect — just real.
