  1. Mom Truths & Chaos (00:42:44)

    I sit down with Cat & Nat—the unfiltered honest moms who share a social media account, a bank account (their husbands, both named Mark, have zero access!), and a mission to keep it real about motherhood.We talk newborn survival mode, navigating the messy world of parenting online, and why stepping away can actually make you a better mom. From mom ruts to tracking teens, from internet trolls to finding the fun in the chaos—these two show how honesty, humor, and a little rebellion can make motherhood feel a little less impossible!PRODUCED BY DEAR MEDIASee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  2. Marrying Zac? Ranking My Siblings? Who Killed Charlie Kirk? (00:38:33)

    This episode is a rollercoaster, and I’m taking you with me. I went through your DMs and voicemails and pulled the most unhinged (and hilarious) questions — and we’re covering it ALL.
We’re diving into three categories:Siblings – Who’s my favorite right now? Who’s annoying me? Would I call Olivia if I went to jail? (Yes.) Would I call Sophia? (Only if she’s awake.)Zac – Are we talking marriage? What’s my favorite part of his body? Also, can someone please stop him from buying more clothes?Random – From my favorite cringe song (yes, I sing it) to my most irrational dating ick. AND — my manager Nikki drops a wild question: Who killed Charlie Kirk? Is this a conspiracy? And what is Candace Owens saying?Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  4. Part Two: Should I Stay or Go? (00:25:33)

    Is it braver to stay and fight for your marriage—or to walk away when it no longer feels right? In part two of this conversation, Amber Rae discusses the messy middle of love, conflict, and commitment. She shares why leaving wasn’t the end of her struggle, how she met the man she calls her soulmate, and why conflict isn’t what kills relationships—avoidance is... and what it really takes to build a relationship that lasts.

  6. Part Four: How To Know When To Quit (00:34:42)

    In this episode, I chat with Anna Kai, the queen of no-BS confidence, about why true confidence isn’t about being arrogant or “that bitch” — it’s about proving to yourself you’ve got what it takes. We dive into the power of quitting (yes, quitting!), why missing your boat might just mean you’re building a way cooler one, and how to stop comparing your life to everyone else’s highlight reel on social media.Anna gets real about feeling one step away from losing everything, even while living the so-called “influencer dream.” Her top advice for anyone feeling stuck? Experiment. Try new things, even if it’s scary or uncertain — that’s how you find your own path.Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  8. Part Two: Boomer, Gen Z Hobbies & Fart Debate (00:50:01)

    In this episode, I get called a boomer—by my own boyfriend—because of my love for grandma hobbies like baking and knitting, but honestly, that might make me peak Gen Z. I break down some of the lingo Gen Z is using (no cap), question whether weddings are just overpriced stress-fests, and debate with Anna about whether farting in front of your partner is a sign of closeness or a total romance killer.

    This episode is straight TMI. Anna Kai talks underwear preferences, her stash of painty liners, and how once she had two menstrual discs stuck up her vagina at one time. Meanwhile, I admit I’ve had two tampons stuck up there without realizing. It’s fine. We’re fine.Then we switch gears to talk about first crushes (Anna’s was Lance Bass), how my son Remi quizzes me on his crushes, and why people say I play favorites between my kids.Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  10. Tips & Tricks for Not Letting Your ADHD Sensitivity Ruin Your Relationships (00:25:26)

    ADHD can intensify emotions, which can especially impact relationships. In this second part of our series with Shanna Pearson, we move beyond common advice to explore the real, everyday challenges that people with ADHD experience: why medication might not always feel fully effective, what it means to “focus on the wrong things,” and how tools like mood scheduling can help you work with your brain rather than against it. We also discuss sugar crashes (sometimes called the “ADHD sugar hangover”), clarify common myths about supplements, and share practical strategies that really support well-being—like prioritizing protein, sleep, and giving yourself grace to be imperfect.Shanna Pearson is Founder of Expert ADHD Coaching: https://expertadhdcoaching.com/Her new book is Invisible ADHD Proven Mood and Life Management for Smart Yet Scattered Women: https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250891624/invisibleadhd/Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    ADHD is more talked about than ever. In this episode, we sit down with Shanna Pearson, an ADHD expert who also has ADHD, to unpack some of the most misunderstood aspects of the condition.

  12. Is It Me or My ADHD? (00:33:57)

    Ever spiral after a text, blame yourself for something you’re not sure was your fault, or obsess over a moment days later? You’re not alone. In this episode, I talk through the question so many of us with ADHD constantly ask ourselves: Is it me… or is it my ADHD? I share a recent situation with a mom friend that had me second-guessing everything, and how ADHD shows up in my life through overthinking, memory lapses, people-pleasing, and emotional overload—especially as a parent. I also get into rejection sensitivity, hormone shifts, dating red flags, and why sometimes my brain just can’t let things go.

  14. Caroline Stanbury’s phone says, 'WE NEED A BABY' every day at noon. (00:44:10)

    Caroline gets right into it about why staying together for the kids is a myth, how children speed up the inevitable, and why the idea of a “fun baby” is pure propaganda. We talk blending families, building businesses, becoming different versions of yourself, and that time her husband programmed her phone to scream “WE NEED A BABY” every day at noon.She shares her advice for women starting over, her favorite misconception (cold-hearted bitch, and proud), and the red flags she’s flying high in her own relationship (ignoring her husband and loving it - ha!). Oh, and if your man loves his mom too much... maybe run?

That’s fine with me.” Also: dating rules, sleeping together early, and how in marriage, you either grow together or grow apart.Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We also discuss actionable strategies to connect with avoidant partners, communicate clearly, and rebuild the lost relational skills our culture has forgotten.Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
