In Another Life

We know… it’s been a minute 😅 (okay, a month.. toddlers will do that to you). We’re officially in full toddler mode over here: big feelings, zero chill, and somehow… even less time for ourselves. Like truly, no time for ourselves, let alone our passion project 🫠 In this catch-up, we’re talking about what this stage really looks like. balancing work, motherhood, identity, and everything in betwee...

It’s a solo check-in from Wren this week Molly is RIP (not actually, just very busy and still very much alive), and we’ll be back to our regular cadence soon, promise. I’m giving a quick life update, talking about the boys (one who’s turned a corner, one who’s chosen chaos), what I’m currently watching to dissociate, and how everything somehow feels normal while the world is very much on fire. It’...

After an accidental two-month sabbatical (we swear it wasn’t planned… probably), we're back—slightly older, questionably wiser, and definitely caught up on way too much TV. We spend the first half of the episode catching up on life updates, minor crises, and whatever show we’re currently obsessed with (spoiler: we have thoughts). Then we’re joined by the brilliant Jenien Lim, who brings the ch...

In honor of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, we’re re-releasing one of our most meaningful episodes — a raw, honest conversation about infertility, loss, and the long road to motherhood. With only a day left in October, we wanted to hold space for every mom who’s been there — the ones still waiting, the ones who’ve lost, and the ones who’ve quietly carried that pain. This one’s a reminde...

This week, we’re tackling the big one: being the female breadwinner. From why it’s time to actually talk about what we make 💸, to what fair play looks like when you’re juggling money, marriage, and motherhood, we’re pulling no punches. Of course, it wouldn’t be an episode without a little chaos — Molly and Wren catch up on what we’re watching 📺, what we’re listening to 🎧, and what the boys are...

Wren’s on day 5 of 14 of solo parenting two toddlers — completely. by. herself. She’s trudging through with her trusty 2000 clean rap playlist and sharing the survival hacks that are keeping her (barely) afloat: outsourcing, finding your tribe, and begging the universe for outside validation that she’s doing okay. Meanwhile, Molly dives into Nolan’s ball surgery — the stress, the recovery, and the...

Yes - we know the audio was fucked up - it's fixed now... Molly’s back from vacation, Wren’s still here (obviously), and somewhere along the way… our babies turned into toddlers . We try to talk about boundaries for tiny humans, but get sidetracked by Wren’s questionable parenting tactic of instilling childhood fear via nighttime spider warnings. It’s equal parts chaos and catch-up — plus a li...

We’re back, baby — literally. After a month-long “break” to enjoy summer (aka survive it), Wren’s flying solo while Molly’s off in Montana — and she’s got a very special guest: her sister, who just had her first baby! We talk pregnancy, labor, postpartum chaos, and what it’s really like in those early newborn days. From the highs to the total WTFs, it’s raw, real, and a little bit ridiculous — bec...

Ah, summer. The season of sun, fun… and full parental breakdowns. In this episode, we unpack the very real shock of discovering that summer with kids is somehow both magical and completely unhinged. We came in dreaming of core memories — and found ourselves refereeing popsicle fights, managing screen time spirals, and pretending “working remotely” means anything with kids in tow. To survive? We’re...

Before kids, we were passport-stamping queens 🌍 — between the two of us, we’ve hit over 40 countries. Now? We’re just trying to survive TSA with fruit pouches and our sanity intact 🍌🧃. In this episode, we shoot the 💩 about the highs, lows, and leaks of traveling with little ones. From blowouts at 30,000 feet 🚼 to the sacred art of airplane snacks ✈️🍿 and enjoying that pre-departure cocktail...

This episode was recorded together in Jacumba Springs during a much-needed girls trip — and honestly, the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. We dive headfirst (and stomach first) into a full-blown family Norovirus meltdown — we're talking everyone sick, everywhere, all at once. From canceled travel plans and chaotic regressions to trying to mom through vomit, poop, and zero sleep, it’s th...

⚠️ Trigger Warning: Infertility, IVF, and pregnancy loss are discussed in this episode. It’s a little long… but so is the road to motherhood for so many of us. In this raw and emotional episode, Wren shares her personal infertility journey — the doctor visits, IVF injections, and all the quiet grief in between. We unpack the absolute garbage advice people love to give ("just relax!" — please don’t...

Look, we didn’t think we’d be saying this either — but here we are. In this week’s episode, we spiral into the chaotic wonderland of early toddlerhood, where everyone’s naked, no one’s listening, and the tiniest humans are slowly becoming big assholes with very big opinions. We cover unsolicited anatomy lessons, the ongoing potty training saga, and why Bluey's parents might actually be raising...

MAJOR SPOILERS: This week, we’re taking a detour from diapers and spit-up to dive deep into the drama of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives —and yes, it’s a spoiler-filled judgment fest (you’ve been warned). We break down the twists, the turns, and the new faces, throw some side-eye at the red flags we all saw coming, and passionately unpack why fundamentalist religion gives us a full-body ick. Still ho...

This week on In Another Life , we attempt (and fail) to stay on topic while unpacking the wild world of baby milestones —you know, the ones that make you feel like your kid should be walking, talking, and composing symphonies by 10 months. We ramble (shocker), laugh, and ask the real questions: ➡️ Who even decided what “on track” means? ➡️ Why does every app act like your baby’s behind if they’re...

Hindsight: the most judgmental mom friend of them all. This week on In Another Life , we’re spiraling into the coulda-shoulda-woulda’s of motherhood—those moments we look back on with a mix of exhaustion, laughter, and "WTF were we thinking?" Oh, and we shoot the shit about hot topics like Trump’s new “baby bonus,” why Carrie Bradshaw is actually the worst , and other unfiltered opinions...

Motherhood is full of magical moments... and then there are the ones that leave you standing in your kitchen, covered in mystery goo, whispering WTF just happened? This week, we're diving into the hilarious, chaotic, and downright absurd moments that make up modern mom life. From toddler tantrums in Target to unsolicited parenting advice from strangers at the park, nothing is off-limits. We’re...

Let’s talk about something no one warned us about before having kids: they’re basically tiny, adorable money vacuums . From diapers to daycare to the 42 snack options they’ll refuse to eat—we’re just out here hemorrhaging cash. This week, we’re chatting with the amazing Caleb Frankel , co-founder of EarlyBird , the investing app that helps families build generational wealth, one gift at a time. He...

Ah, the pelvic floor —the unsung hero (or villain?) of postpartum life. One minute, it’s holding everything together, and the next, you’re sneezing and praying your leggings are absorbent . 🤦‍♀️ This week, we’re getting real about all things pelvic health with expert Mandee Louie from Santosha Pilates —because why did NO ONE tell us that peeing a little after childbirth is NOT just "part of the d...

Ah, postpartum style—the impossible balancing act of wanting to look put-together-ish but also needing outfits that accommodate leaky boobs, a squishy midsection, and a deep emotional attachment to sweatpants. 🫠 This week, Wren and Molly play a little catch-up on life , covering everything from Birkenstocks (fashion statement or just giving up?) to questionable tattoos (who let us make these choi...

Diaper pails that don’t reek, bottles that allegedly prevent gas, and a baby swing that costs more than our first car—welcome to the wild world of baby consumerism. 🤯 This week, we’re breaking down the must-haves, the don’t-bothers, and the “why did I spend my life savings on this?” products of early parenthood. From sleep saviors to totally unnecessary gadgets, we’re getting brutally honest abou...

Welcome to the postpartum fog—where time isn’t real, coffee is a food group, and you’ve lost your phone, your sanity, and probably your will to socialize. 🤪 This week, we’re diving into the messy, exhausting, and slightly unhinged reality of postpartum life, from sleep deprivation torture (we see you, 2 AM wake-ups) to the identity crisis no one warned us about. Luckily, we’ve got a postpartum do...

There are moments in life that split time into before and after . For Molly and her family, that moment came with a diagnosis they never saw coming—her son has Noonan Syndrome . In this deeply personal and emotional episode, Molly shares her story out loud for the first time —from the shock of hearing the unthinkable, to navigating an entirely new reality, to finding strength she never knew she ha...

They say you never really lose your groove, but let’s be real—after months of spit-up, contact naps, and talking exclusively in baby voices, stepping back into the real world post-maternity leave feels like an out-of-body experience. 😵‍💫 This week, we’re tackling the wild transition back into the workforce, how to be social when you’d rather be in bed by 7PM, and what it actually feels like to b...

If we had a dollar for every time someone told a mom she couldn’t chase her dreams… we’d probably be sipping cocktails on a beach somewhere. 🌴 But instead, we’re here to prove them wrong—just like our guest this week, Alexa Dodson, founder of Lexa Swim. Alexa didn’t just start a sustainable swimwear line— she built it from the ground up, got featured at Madewell, and made it all happen while preg...
