Michelle and Lauren kick things off with a lively Oscars recap—because who doesn’t love a little Hollywood drama? Then, they detour into travel tales from Boston to Portland, complete with delicious eats and unexpected adventures.
But the real heart of this episode? Motherhood—raw, real, and unfiltered. They dive into the invisible emotional load moms carry, the thankless moments, and the constant juggling act between personal dreams and parenting. With candid stories, some laughter, and maybe a tear or two, they explore the societal pressures of being a mom and why it’s time to be honest about the struggles.
Plus, a look at Bridget McGuire’s one-woman show, the importance of mental health, and the small joys (like books and music) that help keep them sane.
