Life has been life'ing a little over here so we are throwing it back with a repeat episode of one of your favourites. We met with the incredibly inspiring Julie of @spilledmilkmamma who has unwillingly been on a journey of grief this past year. Just four weeks after giving birth to her second child, Julie's husband Charles went on a business trip and never returned. He was killed in a car accident...

There's a huge controversy online involving a mom and one of her children. The entire account is focused on her daughter. Many people are saying, 'Save the daughter.' But when you see who is commenting, it's disturbing. Where is the line between parents making money off of their children? And then there's Reddit. Everything is there. Everyone is anonymous. There is so much abuse and negativity. Th...

We got hacked in the craziest way. They stole our whole Facebook identity. They stole our audience, and then they hijacked our page. So sneaky. They created a subpage which was just sh*tty, junky news, with gross photos. We had a phone call with them, their emails were all so detailed and professional. No passwords were given and then oops, it's gone. And you can see it happening but you can't do...

You can love yourself but not be 100% confident. You can be insecure in relationships and friendships, always watching, not able to live your own life because you are constantly chasing what the other person is doing. The minute you don't give a f*ck is the minute people stop playing with your emotions. The minute you can put a boundary in is the minute the other person can't do it anymore. You te...

We are on the hunt for male glow-ups. We've been blown away by some women lately who are aging incredibly gracefully. And we aren't talking about plastic surgery. They are finding themselves, taking care of themselves. But where is the male glow-up? Men sometimes think they don't have to. But men, it's time. Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

P.Diddy, what are you doing?? Homeland Security was all over his place, which means they have official evidence. How do people think that they are above the law and won't get caught?? S*x trafficking is often carried out by people you know and trust, sold in exchange for money, gifts, or housing, preying on vulnerable people. It's important that we are aware and can talk to our children about it....

This is the thing about parenting: you have to do the hard things. You can't just threaten them; you have to follow through. Nat had to put her foot down and make a hard decision, which was not a fan favourite among the people she was with and was encouraged not to make that decision. But the disrespect needed a consequence. How are our kids going to learn if there aren't any consequences? Nobody...

Many parents find themselves in a pattern; they calmly ask their kids to do something and nothing happens. Then they repeat themselves, repeat it again, with one more reminder and then…they blow up. When kids don’t listen, parents often feel the need to take back control and you can almost guarantee that you’ll enter into a power struggle where no one comes out as the winner. In this episode, you’...

We covered a lot of ground today! We started with your submissions but kinda went off the rails as usual. From Ritz cruises - which we think we need to go on - to empty nesters, to #tradwives, we covered it all. We're not so sure about this tradwife trend. Many of the women we talk to are doing everything now but not receiving the benefits of being a #tradwife. Check it out and let us know what yo...

If there is one piece of advice for any parent, it is to diversify your child's friend group. Put them on different teams or in different camps. Do not stick with the same kids all year round. This includes boys too. Sh*t goes sideways. If you stick with one group from Kindergarten to Grade 12, there will be issues. You want your child to be able to walk away from an issue if needed. If they have...

When our kid has a misstep, rebellion, or mistake, it can feel like we as parents have failed them. Similar to muscle growth, our kids need to tear and repair along their life journey to become more emotionally strong and resilient. We sat down with Michelle Icard, author of 8 Setbacks That Can Make a Child a Success: What to Do and What to Say to Turn “Failures’ into Character-Building Moments, t...

We had to highlight Cat's pubic hair phobia in this episode because it almost made her puke while we were recording. We transitioned from pubic hair to all of your anonymous questions, and once again, you did not disappoint. Let's just say this: men... we are not asleep. Tune in to find out why!

Bradley Cooper and Dax Sheppard recently said that their kids walk in on them in the bathroom while they are pooping. This is not news for those of us that are moms! Moms have been in the bathroom with their children since the beginning of time. Why does this get a headline now? Have your kids been in the bathroom while their dad is pooping?  Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone? Tex...

We started this episode saying that we were sick of talking about our kids, but then talked about them the whole time. We are sick of them calling at 3:30:05 when they were supposed to be picked up at 3:30. We are sick of our kids having constant access to us. We are sick of the mental load. We can't wait to watch these little f*ckers grow up. Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone? Text us...

During the tween and teen years, our child’s brain enters the second and final massive growth phase of their lifetime. What makes this phase so challenging for both parents and their children is that the teen brain becomes emotionally raw and reactive, and that once bubbly and affectionate child begins to struggle with emotional regulation and wants literally nothing to do with their parents. Pare...

Nat's brain is having a moment. She is creating a sexual narrative in her head with multiple characters and is fantasizing about someone we know. She is going to play it out and see who the front runner is. It's like she is writing a book in her head and we don't know who the main character is yet. We can't wait to see how this plays out!

They live in a world we can never understand. Weigh-in, do you think you can sleep with your child's boyfriend/girlfriend? We would love to know what you think!  Want our podcasts sent straight to your pho...

When you sign your kids up for sports, your hope is that they continue to play and have fun. Learn how to lose and learn how to win. When you begin to see the politics, the world of winning and the culture, it changes. The majority of our children aren't going to be playing professionally. Why does winning matter so much? Why are we are taking all of the fun out of it? Want our podcasts sent strai...
