  • Perfect Picks for Pint Sized Playtime
    Toys! The part of our life we both love and hate. The joy it brings to our children, the constant flow of gifts from relatives and the undeniable clutter our houses endure from high quality wooden toys to the plastic pieces of our childhood we remember. Join Michela and Patty this week as they talk about their favorites and not so favorite tchotchke’s they have for their brood and some things they wish they DIDN’T have all together.

  • Where is the Village?

    Join Michaela and Patty as they dive deep into their childhood experiences and explore the evolution of support systems for mothers over the years. They discuss the pressures mothers face today, including the need for early child care options much sooner than what was expected 20-30 years ago. In the age of information, they also address the growing anxiety and distrust towards traditional sources of help.

    • PPA, PPD, PPR and PPO

      Michaela and Patty discuss the dark cloud of PPA, PPD and PPR and all that come with it.


      Reflecting on both postpartum experiences through COVID and adding new babies to their families the mom friends discuss what it was like to navigate those early days with deep touches of the different mood disorders that accompany the massive hormonal shift that takes place after a woman gets pregnant and gives birth.
