Today we’re diving into the ultimate generational culture shock: all the things we do as moms in 2025 that would absolutely send boomer moms over the edge. From sleep sacks and sound machines to “gentle parenting” and car seats that feel like engineering degrees to install, we’re breaking down the modern mom habits that would leave our own moms (and grandmas) completely baffled.

We’re also talking about how moms take care of themselves now—whether that’s hopping on the latest MLM trend, justifying a girls’ trip as “self-care,” battling the mom guilt that comes with doing anything for yourself, or chasing the next new diet plan. It’s funny, it’s real, and it might hit a little too close to home.

Whether you’re laughing along, shaking your head, or texting your own mom “wait…you didn’t even own a sound machine?”—this episode is for every modern mama who knows we’re all just figuring it out one Target run at a time.

The school supplies are bought, the backpacks are packed… but now it’s your turn, Mom. In this follow-up episode, we’re diving into the emotional and mental load that back-to-school season dumps right on our already-full plates. From managing big feelings (ours and theirs) to building routines that actually work, we share what moms should focus on during this season—plus how to keep friendships alive when everyone’s calendar is chaos. And, in true “From 9 to Mom” fashion, we’re repeatedly interrupted by Jack because Catie is recording with both kids at home. It’s raw, it’s relatable, and it’s proof that you’re not the only one just trying to hold it all together.

This week on From 9 to Mom, we’re reminiscing about wedding anniversaries, bridesmaid duties, and how being in a bridal party hits very different once you have kids. From packing breast pumps for the bachelorette to praying your dress still fits post-baby—this episode dives into the chaos and comedy of weddings in your mom era. Plus, we serve up some spicy wedding hot takes that’ll make you rethink chair covers, cash bars, and kid-free receptions.
