episode 17: the one with the shrink

11/26/19 • 54 min

Hey mamas!

On today’s episode we’re chatting with Dr. Lindsay Weisner from Long Island, New York. She is a wife, mom, psychologist, author and fellow podcaster. Phew.

Listen in as we get Lindsay’s expert opinion on maternal mental health, including an interesting take on baby blues, why happiness shouldn’t be our default, and how we can support fellow moms who may be suffering from postpartum mood disorders.

We also talk about Lindsay’s upcoming book, Ten Steps to Finding Happy, which features stories from 24 inspiring women and mothers to help raise mental health awareness and smash the stigmas surrounding depression and anxiety.

And while we may be talking to a shrink, this conversation is anything but stuffy. We talk feminism, drop f-bombs, are wowed by Christy’s HR math and hear what Lindsay really thinks about Christy’s idea to join the 5 a.m. club. But we hope by now you wouldn’t expect anything less than real talk from us.

So...let’s get to it!

episode 16: toddlers are jerks

Hey mamas!

Today we’re talking about toddlers. And how they can be jerks sometimes. But that it’s really not their fault. They are just misunderstood little creatures who go from raising your temper to melting your heart in a matter of seconds.

Being in between toddlerhood with our kids right now, we have learned a thing or two in the toddler trenches, mainly how easy it was to judge meltdowns from afar back when we were perfect parents...you know, before we actually had children.

We chat about life with toddlers, share our parenting styles and even discuss toddler brain growth and development from a psychological perspective. But like, really high level, because neuroscientists we are not. Perhaps we’ll get into that more in a future episode.

Oh and be sure to stick around until the end. There may be a cute little twist on our usual mom moments and cheesecake review that involves a couple cameos from our favourite preschoolers.

Let’s get to it!

episode 18: merry mom life

Hey mamas...and happy ho ho!

That’s right, it’s our special holiday episode (sorry, no Michael Buble). But we are talking about all things Christmas – with a mom life twist, of course.

We chat about the different types of moms at Christmastime, reveal our opinions on hot topics like whether Santa’s suit is hot (it’s not) and whether to elf or not to elf (on the shelf, that is). Be sure to stay tuned for our merry mom moments and find out which holiday classic Jenny watched while in labour last Christmas Eve.

Disclaimer: we will be discussing some of Santa’s secrets, so this episode is best listened to away from little ears!

Let’s get to it!
