Chasing Sanity

Season Finale For our season finale, we're stepping away from the laughs (well, mostly) to tackle one of the hardest conversations we've had yet. We're discussing the heartbreaking Lindsay Clancy case and the uncomfortable questions it raises about postpartum mental health, motherhood, and the support systems we depend on. Everyone says it takes a village, but what happens when that village isn't...

In this episode we’re talking about family traditions, the ones we grew up with, the ones we wanted to carry on, and the new ones we’re creating for our own families. But with traditions also come expectations… and sometimes, boundaries. We get into what it was like becoming moms during COVID, standing our ground when people didn’t necessarily agree with our choices, and realizing that having a ba...

This episode, we’re digging into our African roots and asking the question: are we breaking generational curses… or are some of these cultural proverbs actually worth keeping? 😂 We’re talking about the things our parents told us growing up, the lessons that still make sense today, and the ones that have us wondering, wait… why did we believe that?! And then there are all those things we SWORE we...

In this episode, we're catching up on summer so far, reliving our glorious bestie spa day (10/10, highly recommend), and reminding ourselves what it feels like to be relaxed... even if it was only for a few hours. Then we dive headfirst into one of the internet's most exhausting debates: Who eats first, the man or the kids? We honestly can't believe we're even discussing it, but somehow this conve...

In this episode, we tackle a more serious side of motherhood as we talk about baby blues, postpartum rage, and everything in between. We keep it real about what these experiences can actually look like, how long they can last, and some of the signs that are often overlooked, especially in Black women. We also get honest about breastfeeding and the harsh reality that just because you can breastfeed...

In this episode, we explore the pressures moms often place on themselves, the expectation to do it all, the guilt of putting ourselves first, and the challenge of maintaining our identity beyond motherhood. We discuss what truly counts as “me time,” the journey of “getting our pink back,” and the career guilt many working moms face as they balance ambition, family, and personal fulfillment. Join u...

In this episode, we get brutally honest about sleep… or honestly the complete lack of it. At this point, a full night’s rest feels more like a myth parents tell each other to survive. We’re talking about our own experiences navigating sleep with kids, the different ways we approached bedtime struggles, and the never-ending debate that is co-sleeping. From doing what works for your family to questi...

Work-life balance? We discuss who came up with this lie? In Episode 3 of Chasing Sanity , we’re getting real about the pressure to do it all and somehow do it well. Between work, motherhood, relationships, and everything else on our plates, we’re talking about what balance is supposed to look like versus what it actually feels like day to day. We get into the idea of “having it all,” why balance l...

In Episode 2 of Chasing Sanity , we’re unpacking cultural differences in a parenting, because not everybody was raised the same, and it shows up in everything, and we do mean EVERYTHING. We’re getting into what we were told to do (or absolutely not do) while pregnant, the unspoken rules during the newborn stage, and how different cultures approach rest, support, and who gets access to your child....

In our very first episode, Aba and Mimi introduce themselves and the reason this unfiltered motherhood podcast had to exist. If you’ve been looking for a real mom podcast that actually tells the truth about parenting…congratulations, you found us. We’re breaking down the expectations we had before kids (organized mornings, glowing pregnancy, “I’ll never yell”) versus the reality no one puts on the...
