  • Episode 13: The Truth About Starting Solids, Sleep Routines & Postpartum Recovery
    Jun 18 2025

    In this episode of Two Moms, Too Much Coffee, Tempestt and Jhshell sit down with their morning brews to catch up on all things mom life—raw, real, and ridiculously relatable.


    We dive into how baby Naya is sleeping through the night (hallelujah!) and what it really feels like to be away from your baby on a work trip. From dealing with pumping in cramped airplane bathrooms to using Milk Stork to save every last drop, we’re breaking down the real travel-life balance for new moms.


    Then we get into the hot topic of starting solids—baby-led weaning vs. purees. We talk gagging vs. choking, picky eaters, sensory overload, and why every baby really does go at their own pace. Plus, Tempestt keeps it real about her toddler’s 90-minute meltdown over putting on clothes and how sometimes, parenting hills are meant to be died on.


    To wrap it all up, we share our own journeys with postpartum body image and the pressure to “bounce back.” Spoiler: we didn’t. And we’re totally okay with that.

  • Nursery Chaos, Crib Moves, Postpartum Realness + Starting Solids
    Jun 4 2025

    This week on Two Moms, Too Much Coffee, Tempestt and Jhshell are keeping it real with a jam-packed episode that covers the highs and lows of motherhood. From the chaos of setting up nurseries and moving babies into cribs, to the quiet fears around postpartum anxiety and what it really means to prepare for solids — this conversation gets honest fast.


    They break down the difference between organizing with aesthetics versus function, why having a labeled dresser can save your sanity, and what baby gear actually matters. You’ll also hear about real experiences with changing tables, babyproofing, temperature control, and how they each handle sleep transitions.


    And in the Unsolicited Advice segment, Tempestt shares helpful tips for starting solids — what matters, what doesn’t, and why breastmilk is still the MVP.


    If you’re in the trenches of early parenting, you’ll feel seen. If you’re prepping for what’s next, you’ll leave with actual takeaways.


    Listen, laugh, nod in agreement — and maybe text this one to a new mom friend.

    May 21 2025
