Did We Just Become Milfs?

Hi our lovely MILFs community! It feels so good to be uploading an episode again but it does not come without a heavy heart for the news we are sharing today. First off we want to thank each and every one of you for your patience over the last couple of months as we navigate big life changes (ICYMI WE ARE BOTH PREGNANT!!). We've been soaking up all the love and joy from the first few months of pregnancy and it just feels so special that we get to both go through this at the same time again. With that said, we've had to ask ourselves the tough questions of how much we can take on and ultimately came to the conclusion that this podcast deserves 110% of our effort and attention and it is just not something we are capable of doing at the moment. We truly cannot express enough gratitude for the space we have created together. The last almost 2 years has given us some of our fondest and proudest moments in life and in motherhood. It's given us so much purpose connecting with you all, sharing our personal journeys, & spreading comfort and knowledge through our wonderful guests. But THIS IS NOT GOODBYE! Although, Did We Just Become MILFs may be coming to an end, you'll still be seeing a lot of us both on our separate channels where we hope to share the same kinds of content that brought us all together in the first place. To stay in touch with us make sure you're still following:TORI:Instagram: HERETikTok: HERE MILFS Youtube (she'll be taking over!): HERESubstack (she'll be taking over!): HERETAYLA:Instagram: HEREDWJBM Instagram (she'll be taking over!): HERE TikTok: HEREThis podcast has been the biggest blessing building together and the memories will last a lifetime.

This week we’re joined by the hilarious and unfiltered Sarah Merrill Hall — creator of Big Kid Problems and host of the hit podcast Bottle Service. Sarah has a knack for turning life’s most chaotic, unglamorous moments into comedy gold, and motherhood has only given her more material.We dive into her shift from cracking jokes about adulting struggles to finding the funny in spit-up, meltdowns, and all things mom life. Sarah opens up about getting lost in the identity shift that comes with becoming a mom, the “can’t make this sh*t up” moments from pregnancy and postpartum, and how humor has become her secret weapon in surviving the messy middle of motherhood.She also gets real about the surprises no one warns you about, her experience with postpartum (& perinatal) depression and how she overcame it, and the hormonal rollercoaster every mom deserves a manual for. And of course, we cover what she wishes every new mom could hear when they’re in the thick of it — depleted, doubting themselves, and just trying to make it through.If you need a reminder that you’re not alone, plus a few laughs along the way, this episode is for you.Follow Sarah on Instagram @bigkidproblems and binge her podcast Bottle Service wherever you listen!P.S. we are in her pod too!

Parenting in the thick of toddlerhood can feel like a rollercoaster of meltdowns, overstimulation, and mom guilt. In this week’s episode, we sit down with Alyssa Blask Campbell—CEO of Seed & Sew, emotional development expert, mom of two, and author of Tiny Humans, Big Emotions and Big Kids, Bigger Feelings—to talk about how to regulate your nervous system while teaching your child to process theirs.Alyssa walks us through her FACTS method (Food, Activity, Connection, Tune Out, Sleep), a simple but powerful check-in tool for parents who feel like they’re one scream away from snapping. We also dig into her Collaborative Emotion Processing (CEP) Method, a 5-step framework for helping kids feel safe experiencing big feelings, while building coping strategies that last a lifetime.You’ll hear real-life scripts to use instead of “You’re fine!” or “Calm down,” repair strategies for those inevitable moments when we lose our cool, and grounding tools that actually work when the house feels like chaos. Whether you’re desperate for ways to keep your calm in the heat of a tantrum or looking to raise emotionally resilient kids, this conversation will leave you feeling equipped, supported, and a little less alone.Because at the end of the day, you don’t have to be a perfect parent—you just have to be a present one who’s willing to feel, repair, and try again.More from Alyssa:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seed.and.sew/Website: https://www.seedandsew.org/aboutGet her books here!: https://www.seedandsew.org/book

Katrina spills all the tea on the hardest parts (spoiler: bedtime chaos is real), the things that surprised her, and how her older girls have been adjusting to their new baby sister. It's equal parts hilarious and heartwarming—honestly, we can all relate!Oh, and did we mention that Katrina somehow managed to launch her fitness app AND products while pregnant with Carmen AND adjusting to life with a newborn?

Becoming a mom is one of life’s biggest transformations — physically, emotionally, and mentally. In this powerful episode, we sit down with Dr. Megan Spence, a licensed perinatal psychologist, to unpack the emotional and psychological shifts that occur during pregnancy and postpartum.Together, we explore the evolving identity of motherhood, the realities of postpartum depression (PPD), and why recognizing and addressing it is so critical for both moms and their families.Dr. Spence breaks down the symptoms of PPD (and how it differs from the “baby blues”), risk factors, and why so many women struggle to see the signs in themselves. We also dive into postpartum rage, the connection between sleep deprivation and emotional overwhelm, and how to invite your partner into the conversation so they can support you in the right ways.You’ll walk away with practical tools to help navigate the lows, manage intrusive thoughts (yes, they’re more common than you think!), and start prioritizing your mental health without adding to the overwhelm.Plus, Dr. Spence answers listener questions, including:If you’ve had PPD with your first baby, are you more likely to experience it again?Is there any way to prevent PPD?How can moms hold onto their sense of self after kids — while managing the never-ending mental load of motherhood?This conversation is an honest, compassionate guide for every mom — whether you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or years into motherhood.You’re not alone. There’s help, there’s hope, and we’re talking about all of it.Find more from Dr. Megan Spence: [email protected]://www.cultivatetogetherpsychology.com

Somehow, this podcast baby of ours is officially ONE, and if we’re being honest, it’s been the best kind of ‘mom therapy’. We’ve laughed, we’ve cried, we’ve had full-blown mom brain moments, and we wouldn’t change a thing. Over the past year, we’ve had real, unfiltered conversations about the ups and downs of motherhood, and today, we’re reflecting on the biggest lessons we’ve learned along the way.From the absolute necessity of a mom community to the reality that kids absorb everything—our energy, our words, our habits—it’s wild. We’re sharing what’s shaped us, challenged us, and helped us grow. And let’s not forget: It’s okay to not love every moment.We’re also looking back at some of the most impactful episodes of the year—the ones that made us think, gave us the best mom advice, and reminded us we’re definitely not alone in this. And we have to say it—we are obsessed with this MILF mom community. The fact that we get to show up here, have these conversations, and connect with so many incredible moms is something we don’t take for granted. This space has become more than just a podcast; it’s a place where we can all be real, support each other, and remind ourselves that we’re doing a great job.Whether you’ve been here since day one or just found us, we’re SO grateful for this community and can’t wait for what’s next.Here’s to another year of learning, growing, and figuring it all out together!!

Can you believe it’s our 50th episode?! We’re celebrating this milestone with one of our dearest friends—Sophie Jaffe, mama of three, wellness guru, and all-around inspiring human.You know how it goes—sometimes screens feel like the only way to get a moment of peace, but then you’re like, “Wait… is this too much?” We get it. Sophie gets it. In this episode, we’re having a real, no-judgment convo about the realities of screen time. We break down why screens are so addictive (spoiler: they’re literally designed that way), how too much stimulation can affect kids’ behavior, and—most importantly—how to set boundaries without feeling like the bad guy.Sophie shares her personal journey of reducing screen time in her home, the strategies that actually work, and why it’s never too late to make a change. Whether you’re dealing with toddler tantrums over YouTube or navigating social media with teens, this episode is packed with real talk, practical tips, and gentle reminders that you’re doing your best—and that’s more than enough.More From Sophie Jaffe Instagram: @sophie.jaffe

Every mother experiences this shift, and it can leave many feeling lost and disconnected from who we were before kids. We talk about the importance of self-reflection, exploring questions to help you uncover what you love, what you miss, and what you're ready to leave behind. We chat about practical ways for reconnecting with yourself and embracing your passions once again. So if you take anything away from this episode, we hope it is to encourage you to take a moment for yourself today—because no matter how much we adore our kids, motherhood doesn’t have to be the only thing that defines you.

This week we dive into the bittersweet reality of parenting milestones. As any parent in the universe, we spend so much time looking forward to our kids' big moments—first words, crawling, wobbly first steps, potty training, and more—when they finally arrive, it can be a mix of excitement and some unexpected sadness- WHAT?! Let us explain….once they walk, they’ll never be a crawling baby again, and once they’re potty trained, that adorable puffy diaper butt is gone for good & you’ll find yourself somehow missing it. If you’ve ever been frustrated by the unsolicited negative “just waits” that get thrown your way in parenthood, this episode is for you. We talk about our favorite milestones, the ones that completely took us by surprise, and the heartstrings-tugging moments like that first morning dropping our kids off at school that make us wish we could just FREEZE TIME.Parenting isn’t always sunshine and rainbows, (sometimes it’s diaper blowouts and major sleep regressions) but when you see your kids reach big milestones knowing you played a big role in them getting there, it reminds us all what a privilege it is to be living this precious life with our kids!!! So, if you’re currently parenting with your head barely above water….just wait - it only gets better from here!

Last week the world (& social media) felt really heavy, so this week we want to counteract all of that and bring you a "warm hug" of an episode!!! We're pretty sure we've all experienced our fair share of trolls whether it's a glare out in public, a judgmental comment on an airplane when your child is being a little too loud, or maybe an unsolicited cruel message on IG from an absolute stranger (the thought haunts us)?! So today we have compiled your stories to prove there are still absolute saints of strangers that will come to a parent's rescue in a time of need and save the day. These are the stories that will forever stick with us no matter how big or small the act was. 

Let’s recap all things Halloween! Holidays are always a mix of cute and chaotic when chasing the littles around. We had some major wins feeling like we nailed the family costumes this year and Tayla succeeded in hosting the cutest family party…are we getting the hang of this parenting thing?  Something we noticed at the party was how unique all of our kids are. They are born with their own special personalities and it was so fun to see them interacting with each other in different ways. We’re going through all of the personality types that make our kids so them.Do you have a loud, fearless extrovert or a quiet, sensitive introvert? Do they crave attention or prefer to do their own thing? We’re chatting about how recognizing and embracing your child’s natural temperament can make all the difference in how you connect with them and handle those *intense* moments.

This week, we're letting our hair down and sharing our personal lists of things we DO NOT care about as moms. If you've seen the Tiktok trend, you get it!! It's easy to feel pressured by the "picture perfect" families we see on Instagram, our expectations for family dinner time, or the Pinterest activity inspo we save to do with our kids on another day. But let's face it- we can't live up to it all nor should we want to because not everything can make our priority list & that's called life. So together let's decide what really matters to us moms and let go of the guilt around the things that don't make the cut. Yay for less f*cks given- isn't it refreshing?! xx
