Millennial Match: The Balancing Act of Love and Independence
Millennial Moms Unfiltered
03/06/24 • 43 min
Have you ever thought about how the simple act of listening can be the most powerful part of a conversation?
This episode is a testament to that, as we share how effective communication is not just about talking but hearing the unsaid, validating emotions, and expressing ourselves with clarity. We unravel the threads of adapting to parenthood and maintaining balance, employing tools like the 'compliment sandwich' and tapping into our love languages. It's not just about speaking up but speaking well, and understanding the intricacies of our partners' needs for recognition and affection.
Let's face it, relationships grow faster than a time-lapse of a blooming flower, and we're here to talk about what it takes to keep the soil fertile for love to continue blossoming. We navigate the whirlwind journey from sharing a closet to sharing parenthood, all within the span of a heartbeat—or so it seems.
The importance of respecting boundaries, establishing trust, and choosing battles wisely becomes clear as we discuss how to approach disagreements and the strength found in teamwork. Whether it's about going to bed angry or learning to argue constructively, our conversation is an open book on the highs and lows of crafting a partnership that's not just about surviving, but thriving.

Mommy's Little Helper Cannabis in the Quest for Calm Parenting
Millennial Moms Unfiltered
05/01/24 • 38 min
Ever wondered how a puff of cannabis might shift the dynamics of parenting? Join me and my candid comrade, Brittni, as we peel back the layers of this topic with humor and heart. Sipping on a glass of wine while the kids are in bed is one thing, but what about marijuana? We share our personal journeys with cannabis, drawing parallels to the relaxation some find in a glass of red, and discuss the potential for a more patient, anxiety-free approach to parenting. But it's not all fun and games; we address the crucial balance of moderation and the evolving legal landscape of medical and recreational use.
Navigating through the centuries, we trace cannabis from its antiquity to the uproar of the 1970s war on drugs, revealing the striking contrast between historical reverence and modern taboo. The discussion doesn't shy away from the hard-hitting topics of racial injustice and incarceration, nor does it overlook the progress we're starting to see with decreasing stigma. We also swap stories about the disparate impacts of alcohol and cannabis, offering a slice of our lives as an illustration of the larger societal picture.
Wrapping up, we engage in the more whimsical side of weed, from the hilarity of edibles-induced shopping sprees to the serious business of managing impulses, particularly for those of us juggling ADHD. Our episode flirts with the serious implications of privilege and race in the world of cannabis, and we invite you to chuckle over our tales while also pondering the weightier issues we present. Don’t forget to check out our merchandise, designed for those who appreciate an open dialogue on parenting, pot, and the quirks of life.

Brittni's back and the vibes are better than ever! We're mixing the charm of spring with laughter and some real talk about the whirlwind that is parenthood. From unboxing our latest merchandise that's as fresh as the season to sharing the story of my serendipitous romance, this episode is a patchwork of tales and tips. We're peeling back the curtain on our morning mayhem, the art of breakfast diplomacy, and the relentless pursuit of a clean-ish home. It's not just about surviving the chaos; it's about thriving in it, and we've got some tricks up our sleeves that we're just itching to pass along.
Ever wondered how two busy bees keep the podcast honey flowing? Brittni and I are letting you in on the secret sauce of our recording routine. We're tackling the nitty-gritty of our bi-weekly content strategy and the AI wizardry that helps us out. For the creatives out there, I'm spilling the beans on juggling my photography gigs with family life—because capturing those precious moments shouldn't mean missing out on your own. And when it comes to grocery runs and school drop-offs, we swap strategies faster than you can say "Where are my keys?"
We're not just about the giggles and life hacks; we've got layers, folks. The final chapter of our heart-to-heart explores the darker side of putting yourself out there—namely, online negativity. Brittni and I take a dive deep into how we navigate the choppy waters of unsolicited feedback without letting it capsize our ship. You'll hear how we safeguard our privacy without building walls against our audience, and even find the humor in the absurdity of some unwarranted criticisms. Because if there's one thing we've learned, it's that laughter can be the best armor.

Beyond Baby Talk Cultivating Adult Relationships
Millennial Moms Unfiltered
05/08/24 • 43 min
Ever feel like your social life has been hijacked by the demands of parenthood? You're not alone. Ashley and I spill the beans on how we've navigated the treacherous waters of maintaining friendships post-babies. From the seismic shifts in how we party (hint: it's not at the club anymore) to the art of penciling in dates with other adults around nap times and potty training, we get real about the effort it takes to keep your social calendar more exciting than your laundry schedule.
But it's not just playdates and parent-teacher conferences over here. We dive into the quirky dynamics of our families, laughter included. Remember the time when your cousin twice removed showed up at the reunion, and you mistook her for the caterer? We've been there, too! We talk about the joy and chaos of large family gatherings and how these relationships influence our ways of connecting with others, from technologically-challenged phone cleanings to the sibling rivalries that never really go away.
And because we live in a world where ‘unfollow’ is just a click away, we tackle the beast that is digital communication. From the curated facades of social media to the desire for genuine connections in the era of endless scrolling, Ashley and I dissect what it means to cultivate meaningful adult friendships amidst all the noise. Come for the honest chat; stay for the camaraderie—and who knows, you might just be tempted to join our 'Millennial Moms Unfiltered' meetup and find your tribe in person, chaos and all.

We stress the need for self-preservation and the importance of teaching children to prioritize their well-being.

Tiny Living, Wealth Perception, and Family Futures
Millennial Moms Unfiltered
02/07/24 • 39 min
Have you ever gazed at a tiny house and wondered if you could trade in your square footage for simplicity?
We're pulling back the curtains on alternative living arrangements, where we weigh the charm of minimalism against the challenges of raising a family in close quarters. As we reminisce about childhood homes and our journeys to stability, we invite you into a heartfelt discussion on the dreams versus realities of eco-friendly homesteads and the unique vision of a family compound where individual space and collective sustainability coexist harmoniously.
It's no news that wealth begets scrutiny, but when a postpartum pageant contestant showcases her affluent lifestyle, the court of public opinion is quick to convene.
We navigate through the storm, examining the double standards in perceptions of wealth and luxury possessions. Debating the backlash this woman faced for embracing her family's affluence to support local agriculture, we question the societal tendency to judge certain displays of wealth while giving others a free pass.
Buckle up as we shift gears to the emotional rollercoaster of the nomadic appeal of RV living, and the intricacies of homeschooling. The episode takes you through the delicate balance of adventure and familiarity, illustrating how trusting our instincts can guide us in uncertain times.
We wrap up by contemplating whether the world is on the brink of collapse or simply undergoing a paradigm shift, encouraging listeners to embrace change and seek out new horizons for their families.
Join the conversation and share your thoughts on creating a life that harmonizes with your deepest values and desires.
As always, we encourage you to catch up with us on our socials (all in the link) and it would mean SO MUCH if you would leave a review❤️
