WorkingISH Moms

Ok, we're pissed off, but for good reason and we feel like we won't be the only ones...

We did a quick recap on the Grammy's and we're so obsessed with Olivia Dean, like unhealthily obsessed... Her voice. Her vibe. Her presence. We are not well. We’ve emotionally attached ourselves to a person who does not know we exist.

And speaking of emotional attachment… are you watching Tell Me Lies?! Because if you are not, what are you even doing with your evenings? We unpack the chaos, the toxicity, and why we physically cannot stop watching even though it stresses us out. It’s messy, addictive, and a full spiral — and we are here for it.

Basically: pop culture therapy, mild rage, strong opinions, and a little unwell obsession. Just the way we like it.

It's been a while, but we're just trying to keep our head above water...

2026 is going to be a great year, however BABY STEPS!!

This episode is all about:

• What a new year means to us (or doesn't)
• Mom groups and the drama of it all (inspired by the Ashley Tisdale/Hillary Duff drama)
• And running on fumes going into 2026

It's fine, we're fine, it's allllll going to be fine god damnit!!

Holiday outings gone wrong? Always... Overthinking teacher gifts? We know what they want and got you covered... Random things we think about way too often (a.k.a. our Roman Empires)? You’re not alone... Or are you? Ours are weird...

Grab your coffee (or wine) and settle in—because although the holidays are SO magical, Santa is tired!!

​’Tis the season… for stomach bugs, holiday bribes, chaotic schedules, and wondering if we’re actually nailing motherhood or just winging it with peppermint-flavored caffeine.

In this episode, we dive into:

Winter sickness roulette: stomach bug or food poisoning? Why does every December come with a mystery plague?

The pre-Christmas shuffle: the events, the parties, the deadlines, and the ​random school themes that we could do without...

Holiday bribery 101: Santa is watching… but how many times do we have to say it before they actually listen?

Mom guilt whispers: Are we doing it right? Spoiler alert: Bad moms don’t even worry about being bad—so if you’re questioning it, you’re already winning.

Elf on the Shelf hacks: to move the elf or not to move the elf… get the kit, save your sanity.

Making memories vs forcing them: how do we strike the balance between magic and meltdown?

Grab your heated blanket, pour something warm (or strong)​.

In this episode, we cover all the important things moms everywhere are talking about...

Sports Etiquette, Girls’ Night Outs with “Friends” Trivia, where we tested our 90s knowledge and realize we might actually be Monica and Rachel after all.

Kelsey gives her official review of The National Club, the newest restaurant to hit downtown New Bedford — because yes, we’re classy like that (and no, we did not share our dessert).

Then it’s all things Christmas 2025 — from the chaos of hiding gifts and the price tag that makes us question our life choices, to how we really feel about wrapping (hint: any excuse for a party). We wrap things up — literally — with our family traditions, the moving of the infamous elf... no matter how crazy it gets, there’s always magic in the mess.

Love ya, mean it. 🎧 Working-ish Moms — the podcast for moms who are just doing their best… Most of the time anyway...

Here's what you can expect this episode...

We’ve been MIA because life is a blur, we don’t know what day it is, and we’re still trying to figure out if it's "hampster" or "hamster".

Other things we touch upon:

• Confrontation cringe — We know it, we hate it, and we all make the same face when it happens. Also, why are we thinking about what happened 10 years ago at 2am when literally no one cares?
• Trad sons... do we know about them? Do we want them? We fill you in and weigh in...
• Halloween Meh-ness — It came, it went, we barely noticed. We’re emotionally fast-forwarding to Mariah Carey defrosting season.
• Laundry Etiquette — Why is there so much of it? Is it multiplying? Should we just move and start fresh?
• English Language Chaos — Words we’ve been saying wrong our entire lives… yet somehow, we’re the ones helping our kids with homework.

Love ya, mean it.

• Diane Keaton appreciation (because obviously)
• More weird Gen Z stuff that makes us feel ancient

Things we're watching: Love is Blind (season 9) on Netflix, Dancing with the Stars (Season 34) on ABC, Task on HBO Max, Black Rabbit on Netflix, & Hightown on Netflix.

Hope you missed us because we missed you!

We are not wishing away this gorgeous weather away, however we are excited for comfy clothes, uggs, and the upcoming holiday season! Also, we are LOVING prison pants and sweat sets! (Mom uniforms, but make it chic).

Plus, forget “Never Have I Ever”… we’re playing Would You Rather—and let’s just say the answers got way more OMG-worthy than we expected for a random school night.

Thanks for listening, love ya!

Soccer/fall sports are here and in full tilt, and we already have trauma to dump. Are we loving seeing our little chickens enjoy playing? Yes. Are we navigating/barely surviving the sports/mom shuffle with kids while watching other kids on the sidelines? Also yes!!

Unknown Number on Netflix... Have you watched? SPOILER ALERT: we give alllll of our hot takes.

Have you seen the trend, "He's a 10, BUT..."? We have examples and we have thoughts on what can either bring a guy up to a 10 or make a 10 a 2... Let's just say it doesn't take much.
