Mom Rants, Pregnancy Cravings & Why We Don’t Bash Brands

This week’s episode is a mix of pregnancy updates, parenting conversations, and a few honest rants. Natasha joins while very nauseous and shares what is actually helping her get through this pregnancy, including the bracelet she swears by and the foods she can currently tolerate. Emily and Natasha also dive into the judgment culture surrounding motherhood and social media, from the backlash around organic groceries to strangers having strong opinions about children they do not even know. They also explain why they choose not to publicly bash brands and instead focus on supporting companies they genuinely love. Plus, a few current millennial must-haves to kick things off.
