Is it just me or is modern-day motherhood starting to feel a bit..extra? Extra stylized, extra negative, extra “enjoy every second”, extra EVERYTHING. The constant advice, the ever-growing number of experts, the overabundance of staged content and neutral-hued children’s clothing that flood our social media- it seems near impossible to measure up.
As a seasoned mom of three, I’m still made to feel as though I care both too much and not enough when it comes to all things parenting, and I’m OVER IT. So join me as I plug my ears and say LALALA to the noise that’s sucked far too much joy out of motherhood. I won’t pretend to have the answers (because I definitely don’t) but I will hopefully help you find a little humor and community along the way.

Customer Reviews
Like a chat with your closest mom friends!
Completely relatable and authentic- each episode hits on the normal, everyday stuff that moms (parents) are dealing with but not always taking time to talk about. I often find myself nodding in agreement, laughing, or even thinking, “Heck yes! Why has no one said this before?” The pace and length of the episodes makes it easy to fit into a hectic schedule and it’s a great addition to my Monday morning routine. Thank you, Dana!
Fave “Mom” podcast
A treat to listen to every week - thank you

Dana is as relatable and real as they come! Listening to her podcasts - both the solo episodes and the ones with guests - are like having a desperately needed coffee date with a friend. In a season of life where free time is valuable and rare, this podcast is worth spending the free time listening.
