We all hate it. But do we all do it? In this episode Emma and Laura shine some light on all the shade. What are people REALLY judging moms about? And WHY? Can any good come of it? The moms break down the survey, deliberate and reveal some of their own past judgements.

7: Episode 7: Body

Baby or not, if you’ve looked in a mirror, you’ve sized yourself up. Compared and contrasted with what was (I used to look so YOUNG!) or what could be (maybe if I try THAT I’ll look like her!). Even if the standard is an old version of yourself, no one is immune. Is it evolution-based brain chemistry or cultural brain washing? Is social media to blame? Facetune? The Kardashians? And who are we even trying to impress? Ourselves? Our partners? Kelly Smith from our high school track team? In this episode Emma and Laura speak candidly about the rapid body changes post-baby and survey moms across America for a path to self-love.
