  • Resumen

  • Mommy OK Podcast - The unfiltered, hilarious, and brutally honest take on motherhood you actually need. We’re here to talk about the parts of parenting no one warns you about- the sleep deprivation, the rage, the identity crisis, and the moments that make you wonder, Am I OK? (Spoiler: You are, but we get why you’d ask.) No sugarcoating, no toxic positivity. Just real talk, dark humor, and the occasional cry-laugh. Because motherhood is messy, weird, and sometimes absolutely unhinged and you shouldn’t have to go through it alone.

    Episode 6: Thanks for the $5K, But My Uterus Declines
    Apr 30 2025
    The government wants us to have more babies. So they’re offering… $5,000 checks.Cute.In this episode, we talk about why that bonus barely covers diapers, let alone the broken system we’re expected to raise kids in. We break down the absurdity of it all — from $18K births and $11K childcare bills to suicidal ideation being one of the leading causes of maternal death (yes, really).So no, we’re not breeding for a tax write-off. We want actual support: paid leave, affordable childcare, accessible mental health care, and maybe a break from the gaslighting while we’re at it.Grab a coffee, scream into the void with us, and let’s talk about the policies we actually need.Sources: CDC – “Symptoms of Depression Among Women of Reproductive Age”​cdc.gov​cdc.govEvernorth Study (2023) – Increase in PPD from 9.7% to 12.0% during COVID​pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.govAmerica’s Health Rankings – Postpartum Depression national data (2021)​americashealthrankings.orgMMHLA Fact Sheet – Maternal Mental Health Key Facts (1 in 5 mothers affected; 75% untreated)​mmhla.org​mmhla.orgCDC Maternal Mortality Review (2020) – Mental health conditions as leading cause (22.5% of deaths)​cdc.govPsychiatric Times (2020) – Rise in perinatal suicide attempts (tripled 2006–2017)​psychiatrictimes.comHealth Affairs (2024) – Racial inequities in postpartum depression care (lower care access for Black, Hispanic, Asian moms)​ajmc.com​ajmc.comSurgeon General’s Advisory on Parent Mental Health (2023) – Parental stressors (children’s safety, etc.)​hhs.gov​hhs.govHealio (2024) – Paid family leave linked to lower PPD and self-harm risk​healio.com​healio.comCNN/KFF (2023) – Status of Medicaid postpartum coverage extension (35 states + DC)​multibriefs.comMMHLA – Perinatal Psychiatry Access Programs (20+ states implementing MCPAP model)​mmhla.orgChildren’s Hospital Assoc.

  • Sleep-Deprived and Oversharing: Welcome to Episode 5

    Sleep-Deprived and Oversharing: Welcome to Episode 5
    Apr 23 2025

    In this very chill, very chaotic episode of Mommy OK, Christy and Cait try to record a podcast... while actively parenting. There are toddlers interrupting with Disneyland news, surprise pee puddles on white rugs, and some real talk about birth trauma, bottle refusal, and how to survive the first year postpartum with even a shred of sanity left.

    We’re talking:

    • Christy’s sister-in-law being a complete rock star during an emergency C-section

    • The emotional toll of a baby who hates the car seat (and everything else)

    • When your baby won’t take a bottle and the solution is... there is no solution

    • The rage, the guilt, and the beautiful mess that is postpartum

    • All the worst advice moms get (yes, we’re still mad about the Diet Coke comment)

    • Cait’s third baby on the way, and her very premature planning for a fourth 😅

    This episode is what happens when FaceTime therapy becomes a podcast. It’s messy, it’s honest, and it’s exactly what moms are actually going through.

  • Episode 4: Tiny Dictators: Toddlers, Tantrums & the Science Behind the Madness

    Episode 4: Tiny Dictators: Toddlers, Tantrums & the Science Behind the Madness
    Apr 16 2025

    In this unhinged (and painfully relatable) episode of Mommy OK, Christy and Cait spiral lovingly into the world of toddler tantrums—aka the Olympics of emotional instability. From Costco veggie trays and bedtime cooking tongs to threats of being “the meanest mom ever,” nothing is off-limits.

    Cait reveals her birth plan: step one, epidural; step two, crack open a Witch’s Brew Alani Nu before the baby’s even out. Christy advises her brother to wear a helmet in the delivery room because... men. And together, they break down what’s actually happening inside your toddler’s brain (spoiler: not logic).

    There’s panic over banana peels, philosophical debates over sub sandwiches, and a shared realization that sometimes the best parenting move is whisper-yelling “you are safe” while your kid tries to bite you over the wrong colored cup.


    Basically: If you’ve ever been personally victimized by a three-year-old, this episode’s for you.
