Millennial Moms Unfiltered

As a mom, I've laughed in the face of chaos and cried into a pillow of homework woes, all the while wondering if there's a secret society of moms with hidden answers. Together, in this heartfelt and sometimes hilarious conversation, we peel back the layers of motherhood and education, from the sniffles that become mom flu to the complexities of handling bullies and fostering emotional maturity in our children. The episode is a tapestry of stories that will have you nodding in agreement, raising your eyebrows in concern, and, most importantly, finding solace in the shared experiences of the Millennial Moms Unfiltered community. We've all been there: the dreaded Mother's Day that doesn't quite go as planned, or that moment when we realize our kids' school is not the utopian learning center we'd hoped for. We tackle these moments head-on, discussing everything from the amusing disconnect between Mother's Day expectations and reality to the controversial approaches schools take towards bullying. This episode invites you to reflect on your own boundaries, the lessons you're imparting to your children about kindness, and how, sometimes, being a "mama bear" is the only response to a system that doesn't always protect our cubs. Wrapping up, we don't shy away from the nitty-gritty of homework struggles and the decision to homeschool, balancing the narratives with positive strides made in accommodating special needs within the school system. This episode serves as a comforting pat on the back, a shared sigh of relief, and a rallying cry for all parents navigating the twists and turns of raising children in today's world.

Ever feel like your social life has been hijacked by the demands of parenthood? You're not alone. Ashley and I spill the beans on how we've navigated the treacherous waters of maintaining friendships post-babies. From the seismic shifts in how we party (hint: it's not at the club anymore) to the art of penciling in dates with other adults around nap times and potty training, we get real about the effort it takes to keep your social calendar more exciting than your laundry schedule. But it's not just playdates and parent-teacher conferences over here. We dive into the quirky dynamics of our families, laughter included. Remember the time when your cousin twice removed showed up at the reunion, and you mistook her for the caterer? We've been there, too! We talk about the joy and chaos of large family gatherings and how these relationships influence our ways of connecting with others, from technologically-challenged phone cleanings to the sibling rivalries that never really go away. And because we live in a world where ‘unfollow’ is just a click away, we tackle the beast that is digital communication. From the curated facades of social media to the desire for genuine connections in the era of endless scrolling, Ashley and I dissect what it means to cultivate meaningful adult friendships amidst all the noise. Come for the honest chat; stay for the camaraderie—and who knows, you might just be tempted to join our 'Millennial Moms Unfiltered' meetup and find your tribe in person, chaos and all. https://linktr.ee/millennialmomsunfiltered?utm_source=linktree_admin_share

Ever wondered how a puff of cannabis might shift the dynamics of parenting? Join me and my candid comrade, Brittni, as we peel back the layers of this topic with humor and heart. Sipping on a glass of wine while the kids are in bed is one thing, but what about marijuana? We share our personal journeys with cannabis, drawing parallels to the relaxation some find in a glass of red, and discuss the potential for a more patient, anxiety-free approach to parenting. But it's not all fun and games; we address the crucial balance of moderation and the evolving legal landscape of medical and recreational use. Navigating through the centuries, we trace cannabis from its antiquity to the uproar of the 1970s war on drugs, revealing the striking contrast between historical reverence and modern taboo. The discussion doesn't shy away from the hard-hitting topics of racial injustice and incarceration, nor does it overlook the progress we're starting to see with decreasing stigma. We also swap stories about the disparate impacts of alcohol and cannabis, offering a slice of our lives as an illustration of the larger societal picture. Wrapping up, we engage in the more whimsical side of weed, from the hilarity of edibles-induced shopping sprees to the serious business of managing impulses, particularly for those of us juggling ADHD. Our episode flirts with the serious implications of privilege and race in the world of cannabis, and we invite you to chuckle over our tales while also pondering the weightier issues we present.

In our final thoughts, we open up about the vital role of mental health in the fitness industry and challenge the typical standards of beauty. Delve into the success of "Beyond the Body," a program that prizes mental health as much as physical health, and join me as I recount how boudoir photography played a pivotal role in reshaping my body positivity. We wrap things up with practical advice for those navigating the murky waters of self-acceptance, sharing how 'shadow work' and turning away from triggering media can lead to empowerment.

Strap in tight, because we're also unpacking the messy closets of solo living, the intricate tango of adult friendships, and the burdens of secrets that should have probably never been kept. Get ready for a tale so infamously absurd it's been christened "shit gate" by those who witnessed it—testament to the unpredictable chaos that ensues when alcohol crashes an upscale bash. Through it all, we keep it real with our trademark blend of heartfelt understanding and cheeky humor, dishing out insights on how to navigate the wild odyssey of grown-up life with a little more grace and a lot more laughs.

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Millennial Moms Unfiltered - a podcast that promises to be your go-to for all things motherhood. We're Ashley and Brittni, your hosts and fellow moms, pulling back the curtain on our lives to show that it's perfectly okay to embrace a little messiness. As moms, fitness enthusiasts, party planners, photographers, and women's empowerment advocates, we're here to inspire you and let you know that you're not alone on this journey. This episode is a rollercoaster of real, raw, and unfiltered conversations. We reveal our obsessions, from fitness to home renovations, and even jewelry making. We each share our past career paths and how we transitioned into our current roles. From Ashley’s lessons learned as a fitness coach and party planner, to Brittany's journey as a photographer and her newfound passion for becoming a tattoo artist, we hope these revelations will inspire you to pursue your passions. It's not all work and no play, though, we also have a segment called "Unfiltered Advice" where we give our honest take on your queries. So, remember to keep those questions coming via our google form. As a close-knit community of moms, we're here to learn, laugh, and navigate the delightful chaos of motherhood together. So, buckle up and enjoy the ride with Ashley and Brittni in Millennial Moms Unfiltered! https://linktr.ee/millennialmomsunfiltered?utm_source=linktree_admin_share
