Mom Group with Kate & Emily

In this final episode of Season 1, we dive into what's working for us right now as we close the chapter on the school year and turn the page to summer. Thank you for listening to Season 1 of Mom Group!

To commemorate our 10th episode, we sat down with Julia Ott, MS, LPC, facilitator of the Warrior Moms postpartum support group that sparked our friendship as well as the idea for this podcast. Julia is an EMDR trained therapist and perinatal mental health specialist, passionate about supporting the mental health of mothers and eliminating the stigma and silence of their struggles. We talked about...

In this episode, we talk about the people we were before we had kids. The parts we miss, the parts we don't miss, and the parts that brought us to where we are today. 

In this world of endless expectations and to-do lists, we are due for some spring cleaning! In addition to decluttering our homes, what would it look like if we mentally decluttered, too? Today, we're talking about what we're letting go of or letting drop as we head further into 2026.

We've all heard the meme-worthy quote: Modern moms are expected to work like they don't have kids and parent like they don't have to work. With expectations at an all-time high, it's no wonder we feel like we're failing at all of it. 

In this episode, we discuss (in our very much non-expert opinions) if some of our most common mom worries & wonderments are normal or if they're a product of something deeper.

In this episode, Kate & Emily welcome their first guests to the show, two mom friends they met at support groups and maintain friendships with today. They recall what their early motherhood experiences were, what led them to seek support, how they handled COVID as new moms, and much more.

Happy 2026! In this episode, Kate & Emily recap the holiday season (including the pressures that went along with it) and set their intentions for the new year. Even if neither one of them is a resolutions person.

In our second episode, we discuss our histories with anxiety (and meeting in a postpartum moms support group in 2019), how we've learned to handle it over the years, our triggers, and more.

In our third episode and final one of 2025, we break down what mom guilt looks like for us and how we handle the often heavy expectations of the holiday season.

Hooray, it's the Pilot Episode of Mom Group with Kate & Emily! Although we have no clue what we're doing here, we're going try our best! In this episode, we introduce ourselves and set the stage for what we hope will be a fun, supportive community of busy, anxious moms just doing their best.
