E70 - Mother's Day Edition

Brittany opens up about the ongoing rollercoaster fighting insurance to get critical inpatient care approved for Vayda — a raw look into the not-so-picture-perfect side of motherhood that demands relentless advocacy, even when the system makes it feel impossible. Meanwhile, Jen is soaking up the bittersweet final days before her twins officially turn 18, reflecting on the wild ride of raising teens into adulthood (and what no one warns you about when your “babies” aren’t babies anymore). We also dive into some relatable and hilarious “mom realities” — from the unseen mental load to the moments that make it all worth it — plus, a few funny Mother’s Day “this or that” debates you won’t want to miss. Whether you’re in the trenches of toddlerhood, navigating teens, or just appreciating all your mom has done for you, this episode is a reminder: motherhood isn’t a Hallmark card — it’s messy, beautiful, and absolutely worth celebrating. Grab your coffee (or your wine) and join us for a heartfelt conversation that feels like a hug from your best friend.
