Mom-ish After Dark

Someone can be turning one, the house can be covered in party prep, and you can still feel like you’re running on fumes. We’re talking about that exact tension: loving your kids hard while also feeling overstimulated, maxed out, and weirdly emotional about how fast the first year flies by. From explosive toddler chaos to the mental math of managing two schedules, we keep it honest about what mothe...

Something about parenting turns the smallest moment into a full-blown story. We start with the kind of weekend a lot of families know too well: a stomach bug making the rounds, germs everywhere, and the oddly specific chaos of trying to keep one kid healthy while someone else is violently sick. From there, we get into everyday “mom confessions” like pet food theft, high chair messes, and the trave...

Father’s Day felt like the perfect excuse to hand the microphones to the dads in our lives, and they did not hold back. We sit down with Adam, Dylan, and Gil for a raw, funny, and unexpectedly emotional talk about modern fatherhood, starting with the exact moment each of them realized, “Oh, I’m actually going to be a dad.” It’s the kind of parenting conversation that sounds like your group chat, b...

The conversation starts with a ridiculous headline worthy of a group chat “the bush is making a comeback” and somehow turns into a very real look at what it means to be a mom in your 30s trying to keep up with beauty trends, self-care, and the mental load. We talk laser hair removal, hair appointments, nail expectations, and why paying for a service sometimes means speaking up even when it’s awkwa...

A single song lyric can do more than make us emotional, it can make us realize how much we’ve been carrying since childhood. We start with our usual Momish chaos (pets judging us, husbands doing questionable things, and the kind of bathroom talk you only have with close friends), then we get real about the moment parenting shines a spotlight on your past. That feeling of becoming a mother before y...

A Brazilian wax question turns into a full spiral, and somehow that’s the most accurate summary of our brains as moms. We’re Gabby, Katie, and Taylor, and we’re joined by our guest Katie from Florida for a fast, chaotic, and honest catch-up that starts with beauty upkeep, a DIY waxing nightmare, and the very real case for letting professionals handle certain kinds of “self care.”  From there we ge...

We bounce from nurse life to mom life, laughing through the stuff that would make us cry if we said it too seriously. We swap stories about mansplaining, zoo chaos, daycare guilt, and the parenting routines nobody feels fully confident about.  • cancelling the preceptor class and admitting we are not policy encyclopedias  • unpacking habits, ADD brain, and why clutter feels personal  • mansplainin...

Mother’s Day can be beautiful and brutal in the same breath, so we wanted to talk about the full picture. We’re celebrating the moms holding their babies close, the moms still waiting for that moment, and the moms carrying love and loss at the same time. We also get real about how quickly motherhood can turn into a mental checklist: plans, schedules, pressure, and the constant feeling that you are...

You can buy every “must have” on the internet and still feel like you’re drowning at 2 a.m. So we’re bringing the real postpartum talk: three nurse moms, a lot of honesty, and the baby registry lessons we learned the hard way. We get into the postpartum essentials that actually made recovery and newborn life easier, including the unglamorous stuff like stool softeners, Miralax, and Dermoplast, plu...

You know that split second before a sneeze when you think, “Please not today”? We start there and somehow end up at TSA, breast milk testing, and the emotional math of whether you really will “miss this.” That’s Momish energy: honest, a little unhinged, and weirdly comforting. We talk postpartum recovery with zero filter, including the pelvic floor realities nobody brags about, nap battles that tu...

The conversation starts where a lot of mom friendships start: pedicures we avoid too long, hair appointments we can’t schedule, and the kind of “maintenance” that somehow feels like a part-time job. We laugh about tanning, confidence, and doing makeup in the car, then get real about adult acne and how weird it is to watch your body change in your late 20s and 30s, especially after babies. It’s can...

We laugh through the chaos of real mom life, from spilled drinks and group chats to the way a phone call can feel like an emergency. We trade honest confessions about toddlers, babies, screen time, and the pressure to do everything “right,” then land on the same truth: do what you need to do to get through the day.

This week on Momish After Dark , we’re asking the question no one prepares you for: how are we supposed to do literally everything… all the time? From joking about wanting to fight our husbands (kidding… mostly 👀) to the very real weight of being constantly needed, this episode dives into the mental load of being both a nurse and a mom. We’re talking night shifts, no sleep, overstimulation, and t...

One missing key. One slammed door. One more “mommmyyyy” at the wrong time. That’s all it takes for a totally normal day to turn into full-blown mom rage, and we’re saying the quiet part out loud. We’re three moms who can stay calm in real chaos, then go feral over sunglasses, pets under our feet, and the never-ending mental load waiting at home.  We talk about overstimulation and burnout, why “har...

Three nurses. Three best friends. Questionable coping mechanisms. Welcome to Mom-ish After Dark — where we say the quiet parts out loud and the loud parts… even louder. We’re talking motherhood, marriage, friendships, and the kind of hospital chaos that leaves you questioning your career, your sanity, and your husband’s ability to load a dishwasher correctly. This is the unfiltered version of moth...
