Moms Night Out

MNO Podcast

Motherhood is a series of phases — none of which come with a warning label. From keeping tiny humans alive to managing tween meltdowns and everything in between, you’re constantly evolving — whether you’re ready or not.

In this episode of Mom’s Night Out, we chat with Lauren Dudley Stephens — co-founder of Dudley Stephens, podcast host, and mom of three — about what it looks like to grow with your kids. She shares what early motherhood felt like, and how her role has shifted over time.

We also talk about the many hats moms wear — and how Lauren juggles founder life, family life, and real life (spoiler: it’s not always pretty).

This one’s for the moms navigating the now and the next phase — with equal parts love, chaos, and grace.

Moms Night Out

MNO Podcas

Summer’s almost halfway over and Jenny, Katie, and Mandy are embracing the chaos—mud pies, dirty feet, zero expectations. The Moms share what’s working (snackle boxes! no bedtimes!) and what’s... not (sibling fights and trash delays to say the least).

The Moms also break down the W.A.T.C.H. list of summer safety traps - Yes, your beach umbrella can become a deadly weapon, and no, your splash pad isn’t as innocent as it looks.

They’ll also play a round of “This or That: Summer Edition,” debating everything from bikinis vs. one-pieces to the lesser evil: grumpy husband or grumpy kids.

Grab a floaty and a cocktail—this episode’s got your summer vibes.

Moms Night Out

MNO Podcast

They're back with some MNO Chit Chat! This week, Jenny, Katie, and Mandy tackle the tricky territory of communal kid discipline — inspired by a polarizing article in The Atlantic and a real-life train moment in Prague. Would you be okay with a stranger correcting your child? And would you ever step in with someone else’s?

Next, the ladies break down playdate pressure — from allergy protocol to awkward sports field invites, and whether we’re all just overthinking it.

And finally, MNO answers a listener question about THREESOMES! No no, not that kind of threesome..they're talking about the classic friendship trio dilemma: what happens when two moms hang out without the third? Is three a crowd, or can it really work?

In this episode of Moms Night Out, Katie, Jenny, and Mandy welcome Holly Swenson—award-winning author of Stop, Drop, Grow, and Glow, registered nurse, wellness blogger, and mom of four. Drawing from her background in healthcare and real-life motherhood, Holly shares her mission to help parents lead with more joy, intention, balance, and presence.

Holly introduces her signature concept, the Five Rights of Parenting—a simple but powerful framework to help moms and dads raise happy, emotionally healthy kids through intentional choices. She walks through each “right”—Right Now, Right Intent, Right Use of Speech, Right Use of Power, and Right Use of Love—and explains how this gut-check tool can shift parenting from reactive to responsive, especially during those everyday meltdown moments.

The conversation also explores the connection between conscious parenting and self-care, how to pause before reacting, and how Holly’s book Stop, Drop, Grow, and Glow helps parents reconnect with themselves while raising resilient children. Whether you're in the thick of toddler tantrums or navigating teenage chaos, Holly’s insights offer clarity, calm, and a fresh perspective on parenting with purpose.

MNO Podcast

How much screen time is too much? And how much are other kids getting? If you've ever handed over an iPad just to drink your coffee while it's still hot, you're in good company.

In this episode, we sit down with Jacqueline Nesi, clinical psychologist and author of the wildly popular Substack, Techno Sapiens, whose writing dives deep into parenting and screen time — with equal parts data and honesty. We break down the latest numbers from Common Sense Media’s new report on kids ages 0 to 8 and ask the questions all parents are thinking:

• ​Is 2 hours and 27 minutes of screen time really normal?
• ​Do all 8-year-olds actually have phones?

We also get real about what’s behind the screen time — the chaos, the quiet moments, and the choices parents make to survive another day. From guilt and guidelines to YouTube rabbit holes, we cover what matters most: context, compassion, and curiosity.

If you’ve ever felt conflicted about screens, this episode won’t judge you. It’ll just make you feel a little more seen.

Dr. Jacqueline (Jackie) Nesi is a Clinical Psychologist, Assistant Professor at Brown University, and author of the weekly newsletter Techno Sapiens, which reaches over 50,000 readers every week. Her research focuses on the role of technology in kids’ mental health, and on how parents can help. She is also the co-founder of Tech Without Stress, which provides online resources and courses for parents raising kids in the digital age. She's also a mom of two (and soon to be three!).

The hosts weigh in: could ditching your skincare routine really reset your skin, or is this just flaky nonsense?

Then, they tackle a stat that has moms everywhere nodding in agreement — nearly half of women say their husbands stress them out more than their kids. The trio gets real about emotional labor, asking for help without guilt, and what true partnership looks like at home.

Plus, in a feel-good finish, they share 10 small but magical ways to surprise your kids (or honestly, your partner) and bring more joy into your home. Join us!
