You’ve outgrown the baby stage — but you still feel like you’re coming undone in the carpool line.
This podcast is for the moms in the middle of motherhood — managing moods (yours and theirs), hormones, identity shifts, messy marriages, mental health spirals, and maybe one too many Starbucks runs.

Hosted by Jaime Hunter, founder of The Common Moms, This is Common is a no-filter, no-fluff podcast about what happens after the swaddles and sleep regressions — when your kids get louder and your emotions get heavier… and no one’s talking about it.

Expect unfiltered solo episodes, real guest convos, audio hugs, and the occasional well-earned f-bomb.
It’s not a parenting podcast. It’s a permission slip.

You’re not too much. You’re not failing. You’re just in it.
And this? This is common.

  • I Swear I Was Smarter Than This

    I don’t feel like myself lately — and I can’t tell if it’s burnout, ADHD, hormones… or all of the above.

    I used to be on top of everything. Now I forget why I walked into a room, start things I don’t finish, and feel behind even when I technically have time. It’s not just being tired — it feels like my brain just isn’t working the way it used to.

    In this episode, I’m talking through what this actually feels like, why so many moms are experiencing it, and how burnout, undiagnosed ADHD, and perimenopause can all show up in really similar ways.

    This isn’t a “here’s how to fix it” episode — it’s an honest conversation about that in-between stage where you’re functioning… but not quite like yourself.

    If you’ve been thinking “what is wrong with me lately?” — you’re not the only one.

  • Episode 7 - Cougar Puberty - Rage and Hormones
    Mar 2 2026

    We’re back with Megan Schrumm! In our last conversation, we unpacked hot flashes, brain fog, and the physical symptoms of perimenopause. Today, we’re diving into something just as real — and often harder to talk about — the emotional mess of this stage.

    If you’ve ever gone from zero to snapping in 2.4 seconds… felt waves of rage you barely recognize… or caught yourself thinking, “I don’t even feel like myself anymore” — this episode is for you.

    We break down:

    • Why mood swings hit so hard during perimenopause
    • The hormonal rollercoaster of estrogen and progesterone (and how it impacts your brain)
    • Why disrupted sleep and blood sugar crashes make everything worse
    • The identity shift so many women experience in midlife
    • How grief, capacity overload, and years of “giving, giving, giving” compound it all

    Megan explains what’s actually happening inside your body — and more importantly, what you can do about it.

    We talk practical, doable strategies like:

    • Stabilizing blood sugar with simple food swaps
    • Prioritizing sleep to increase emotional capacity
    • “Habit stacking” small nervous system resets into your day
    • Setting boundaries without guilt
    • Protecting relationships while protecting yourself

    This isn’t about becoming a brand-new person. It’s about understanding why you feel different — and learning how to support yourself through it.

    If perimenopause has you feeling snippy, exhausted, anxious, or disconnected from the woman you used to be, this episode will remind you: you’re not broken. Your hormones are shifting — and you deserve support through it.

    Tune in for validation, science-backed insight, and small, empowering changes that can make a big difference.

  • Social Media for Pre Teens is a Hard No In This House
    Feb 17 2026

    Teens, social media, and the pressure to be the “cool mom”… let’s talk about it.

    In this honest and relatable episode, we dive into the emotional tug-of-war so many parents face: wanting your child to “have what everyone else has” while also protecting their mental health, safety, and developing brain.

    Because let’s be real — social media isn’t just harmless fun anymore.
    It’s comparison, validation, anxiety, overstimulation, and exposure to a world kids may not be ready for.

    In this episode, we unpack:

    • The pressure parents feel to say yes
    • “Cool mom” syndrome and fear of your child feeling left out
    • The real impact of social media on kids and teens
    • Anxiety, self-esteem, and online comparison
    • How to set boundaries without guilt
    • Age-appropriate safety considerations
    • Practical ways to talk to your kids about social media
    • How to balance independence with protection

    We also touch on the social media restrictions and phone policies emerging in countries like Australia and France — and why many parents are starting to question whether stronger limits might actually help families.

    If you’ve ever wondered:
    “Am I being too strict?”
    “Should I let them have it?”
    “How do I keep them safe without isolating them?”

    This episode will leave you feeling validated, informed, and equipped with grounded, realistic strategies to navigate social media in your home.

    Because protecting your child doesn’t make you uncool —
    it makes you intentional.
