Hallie reveals she is slowly starting to feel like herself again nearly five months after giving birth to her second daughter, Collins. And while she admits most days are "not cute," the mama-of-two credits a lot of her newfound energy to getting more sleep at night (thank you, sleep training)!

Meanwhile, Katie, who gave birth to her second daughter, Emma, two months ago, is still in that postpartum haze and vents about the chaos of juggling two kids under two. But despite the feral nature of raising littles, she is quick to focus on the joy it brings her as the ladies discuss a new survey of more than 5,000 mothers from Peanut, an app for those navigating fertility, pregnancy, motherhood, or menopause, that found that 84% of mothers don’t think parenting is accurately portrayed in the content they consume. According to their findings, 91% of moms say they felt more joy and fulfillment than anticipated, and 81% feel there should be more emphasis on the positive aspects of parenthood.

Hallie and Katie also weigh in on the Switch Witch, a new Halloween tradition that involves kids trading in candy for gifts. While some parents love the idea of off-loading some of the sugar, critics say it robs children off a rite of passage: eating way too much Halloween candy.

This week on the podcast, Hallie and Katie dive into the universal experience of mom guilt. Katie explains that she feels the most guilty when she takes time for herself away from her kiddos, even when it's for the betterment of her mental health, like a workout class, or a chore for her family, like a trip to the grocery store. She also has lingering guilt over having a second baby so quickly after her first. The mom-of-two, who conceived her second child when she was just 5 months postpartum with her first, admits that she feels like she is often torn between the two and unable to provide them with the kind of attention she would like to.

Meanwhile, Hallie has mom guilt over her breastfeeding journey after she decided to start feeding her second-born formula at 7 months. The mama says she caught herself defending her choice to friends and family and had a realization that she hopes all moms can apply to their own motherhood journey. She also explains the guilt she feels traveling for work. While she knows she is providing for her family and is grateful for the gig, she suffers from wife guilt too, as her husband, Andrew, is left to juggle the kids and work at home.

The moms touch on how motherhood can alter certain friendships after Katie's iPhone took her on a trip down memory lane. And Hallie is left pondering pubic hair in motherhood after Vogue declared that the bush is back in 2025.

Hallie and Katie also take a moment to reflect on their recent trip to NYC to see the podcast featured on Amazon Music's billboard in Times Square. The mamas are still floating on cloud nine and can't wait to tell their girls about the experience one day.
