In this episode, Cal has a quiet but powerful realization: she no longer feels the need to obsessively clean her floors—and that realization opened a much bigger conversation.

Before her double mastectomy, spotless floors and clean countertops felt non-negotiable. But why? Was it comfort? Control? Mental clarity? Or was it ego—wanting to be seen a certain way by others?

From there, we zoom out into the many ways moms obsess in motherhood and ask the real question: Who are we doing it for? Cal reflects on how her mindset has shifted from her 20s—when perfection felt required—to now, where she realizes the solution wasn’t cleaner floors… it was simply wearing shoes.

Megan shares her perspective as a first-time mom in her 40s—how she chose curiosity over comparison, learning from other moms without trying to become them. No impressing. No performing. Just intentional motherhood without ego in the driver’s seat.

We wrap it all up with a fun metaphor about the Olympics—earning your 10 out of 10, standing on your own podium, and realizing that motherhood doesn’t need judges to be worthy of gold.

This episode is about freedom, perspective, and letting go of what no longer serves you—floors and all.

Is it a vacation… or is it just parenting in a different zip code? 😅

In this laid-back but wildly helpful episode, the Mommas break down how to travel with kids in a way that actually feels enjoyable—not exhausting. We kick things off by addressing the age-old truth: trips with kids are often called “trips,” while trips without kids are called “vacations.” But what if it could feel like a vacation?

We dive into choosing the right destination based on your energy, expectations, and parenting style (Europe, Disney, Mexico—there’s no wrong answer if you plan it right). Then we get practical with packing hacks that make travel days smoother and help kids feel more independent once you arrive. From plane-ride survival tips to surprise ideas that actually work, we’ve got you covered.

We also talk about traveling with your spouse—setting expectations, sharing the load, and avoiding unnecessary stress—before landing on the real goal: having fun. Communicate, be flexible, and give yourself permission to enjoy it. You deserve that vacation.

What starts as Super Bowl stories quickly turns into a deeper conversation about motherhood, teamwork, and why growth doesn’t happen in isolation. In this episode, we talk about how athletics—and honestly, any structured community—can shape our kids far beyond wins and losses.

Caley shares insights from her senior thesis on the mental benefits of athletics, from grit and time management to learning how to fail and get back up again. Megan brings it home with a powerful reminder about teamwork—why lifting each other up matters most when things don’t go as planned.

We use football as the perfect analogy: not everyone is the quarterback, not everyone is the linebacker—and that’s exactly how teams (and moms) work. There are many ways to show up, many ways to parent, and none of them require doing life the same way.

Whether your kids are athletes, artists, performers, or mathletes, this episode is about community, respect, and moms supporting moms—especially through failure and growth.

Valentine’s Day felt like the perfect excuse to talk about love languages—and trust us, this episode delivered. We kicked things off with a classic Megs moment (she confidently claimed her love language was French 😏), which led us into a love language quiz that surprised even her.

From there, we broke down all five love languages—what they mean, how people naturally express love through them, and how things can get wildly miscommunicated when you’re speaking one language and your partner is hearing another. We also talked about how knowing someone’s love language changes the way you show up for your husband, family, friends, and the people closest to you.

One of our favorite parts of the conversation? Watching love languages develop in your kids and learning how to love them exactly the way they need—at every stage. Because when you understand all the love languages, you’re able to love people at a whole new level.

Some of the hardest things about motherhood are the ones no one can see.

In this episode, we talk about parenting children with invisible diseases—specifically Caley’s son, Whitten John 💪🏼, who lives with AVP deficiency (Diabetes Insipidus). He looks completely “normal,” acts like every other kid, and yet requires very real, very specific care to stay safe.

We unpack what it’s like to trust others with your child when their needs aren’t obvious, and how exhausting it can feel to constantly explain precautions that make you sound “dramatic” to people who don’t understand.

We also dive into scanxiety as Whitten prepares for another MRI—bringing up emotions tied to cancer, LCH recurrence fears, anesthesia, NPO days, and all the heavy feelings that come with them. There are tears. There’s honesty. And there’s deep empathy.

If you’re a mom navigating an invisible disease—or loving a child whose struggles aren’t visible—this episode is for you.

You’re not crazy. You’re not alone. And you’re doing better than you think. 💛

Season two starts with a celebration—and yes, we’re taking a moment to say we did that.

In this kickoff episode, we’re looking back on everything Season One brought us: the laughs, the growth, the moments that surprised us, and the community that showed up in ways we never expected. We’re sharing some wild (and honestly humbling) Spotify stats—including being shared more than 96% of shows and landing in the top 10—and revisiting some of our favorite hilarious moments along the way.

But more than numbers, this season opener is about impact. We talk about what we’ve learned, how this podcast has helped moms feel seen, heard, and less alone, and why creating real connection has always mattered more than being perfect.

We’re also celebrating our Mom Squad—our private Facebook community of over 3.5K moms from all over the world—and giving a little teaser of what’s coming next with the I AM JOURNEY program launching in 2026.

🎧 Season Two starts now.

And we’re just getting warmed up.

This one gets real, Mommas.

After multiple conversations with groups of pediatric cancer moms, Caley shares powerful reflections on gratitude, perspective, and the way our words shape not only us, but our children.

In this episode, she and Megan dive into how kids absorb everything — from our tone to our mindset — and how we can equip them with tools for resilience instead of reactions rooted in fear or victimhood.

They also touch on the reality that adversity will happen, and how choosing to see light in the darkest moments can transform everything.

It’s a raw and hopeful reminder that while we can’t protect our kids from pain, we can teach them how to rise through it.

Sometimes you just need to ditch the deep convos and laugh until your abs hurt. Before Caley’s double mastectomy, the Mommas swapped their morning coffee for cocktails and recorded their first-ever nighttime podcast

They take on the hard-hitting questions: thong or boxer briefs? Are vibrators acceptable Christmas gifts? And why are we talking about eating dirt? Between the giggles and the questionable logic, they even invent their own superhero alter egos (and the costumes are something else).

This one’s 99% laughter, 1% nonsense, and 100% proof that adult sleepovers are good for the soul.
