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.
This weeks Tumbler winner is Haley! Haley actually was the Millennial Moms listener that made a list of our best quotes for these tumblers! A true internet bestie always super supportive of the show! Leave us a 5 star review on Apple and maybe you'll be next weeks winner!

The Comedy and Tragedy of Looking for Love Today
Ever find yourself knee-deep in the dating trenches, battling one face-palm date after another?
Well, we're right there with you, fellow love-seekers! Ashley and Brittni here, dishing out the good, the bad, and the downright bizarre from the front lines of modern love in our latest podcast episode.
From third-wheeling on what was meant to be an exciting first date, to navigating the waters of dating post-kids—believe us, it's as laughably rough as it sounds. We're not just spinning yarns; we're also doling out the hard-earned wisdom on self-respect and spotting those glaring red flags you wish you'd seen sooner.
Picture this: You're on a date, and it suddenly spirals into an impromptu caregiving session—yup, we've got stories about that too. We're peeling back the layers of disastrous dates, including an overambitious steak dinner and a bong session gone horribly wrong, all while maintaining our spirits (and sanity). And let's not forget the unsolicited intimate photo debacle—what's with that, anyway?
Join us as we navigate these cringeworthy yet astoundingly common scenarios, sharing our personal anecdotes and those of our courageous listeners, who've bravely transformed their dating horror tales into teachable moments.
As we wrap up the laugh riot, we don't leave you hanging in the doldrums of dating despair. Instead, we tease the next episode where we'll shift the focus from catastrophic courtships to the art of fostering healthy relationships. Remember, amidst the uproarious recounting of misguided romantic gestures and unsought explicit pics, there's a community here, eager to swap stories and grow together.
So, keep sending in those reviews, and who knows? You might just snag one of our chic glass tumblers. Until next time, keep laughing, learning, and loving the wild ride that is the pursuit of partnership.

Letting Go of Perfection in Parenting and Embracing Change
From the hilarious trade-offs of screen time and peace to the surprising relief of relaxed mealtime rules, we're serving up a generous portion of our personal parenting pivots—and trust us, you won't want to miss the juicy details of our merch shop launch and tumbler giveaway!
Let's get real: juggling the social scene, parenthood, and technology is a balancing act worthy of a circus performer. In this heart-to-heart, we unpack the tales of how our once sacred 'alone time' has now become a quiet evening in with the kids and how we've learned to see the educational potential in a YouTube makeup tutorial. Our candid stories reveal the beauty in the breakdowns and breakthroughs that come with the territory, as we trade in rigid rulebooks for a more nurturing and, dare we say, revolutionary approach to raising our little humans.
Through the passages of our podcast, we've uncovered the transformational power of motherhood—how it redefines careers, reshapes personal styles, and even readjusts our own bedtime routines. We're dishing out the real deal on contact naps and the never-ending laundry saga that is parenting. Whether it's the evolving fashion choices post-kids or the shifts in household dynamics, we're here to share the messy, the beautiful, and the outright comical changes that come with the title of 'Mom.' So go ahead, pour yourself a cup of your favorite beverage, and let's toast to the wild journey of parenting together.
