Episode 12 is a guest interview… and a return to our roots.This is what happens when you circle back to where it all started; with a little more life, a little more perspective, and just enough history to make things interesting.Same connection. Different energy. A lot more to say (and a few things that probably weren’t supposed to be said 😅). It’s real, a little layered, a little funny, and just uncomfortable enough to mean something.Growth shows up. Perspective shows up. And yeah… a little bit of “wait... did they really just say that?” shows up too.🎙️ Press play and step into the conversation.YouTube PlaylistSend us Fan Mail Support the show

Postpartum isn’t just a phase; it’s a transformation.This week, we’re talking about what really happens after the baby arrives. The emotional highs, the mental weight, the identity shifts… and everything in between that doesn’t always make it into the “new mom” narrative.It’s honest. It’s unfiltered. And it’s a conversation a lot of moms don’t realize they need until they hear it.Tap in.YouTube PlaylistSend us Fan Mail Support the show

There’s a voice in you that doesn’t need proof… but somehow we’re always asking it for receipts.This episode lives in that space.The gut feeling you tried to explain away. The moment you second-guessed… then circled back like, “yeah… I knew.”We’re getting into what it actually looks like to trust that voice, how easily we override it, and what changes when you start listening differently; especially when your faith is part of the conversation.This one’s not loud… but it sticks.YouTube PlaylistNational Library Of Medicine ArticleNational Institute of Mental Health ArticleMonster Nanny ArticleWashington Post ArticleSend us Fan Mail Support the show

 Making friends as a mom is harder than dating… and somehow more confusing Making friends as a mom comes with a lot of questions…Like: “Are we close?” “Are our kids the reason we talk?” “Do I text first or is that too much?”In this episode of Moms and Their Music, we’re talking about the reality of friendships in motherhood — the effort it takes, the awkwardness of making new connections, and why keeping friendships strong can feel harder than it used to.We also dive into the differences between friendships with moms and friendships with friends who don’t have kids — and how both can feel meaningful, but very different.It’s honest, a little chaotic, and very much a “you’re not the only one figuring this out as you go” kind of conversation.Youtube Playlist  -There's not much on there for this one, honestly. We had too much to say about Friendships in Motherhood.Send us Fan Mail Support the show

 A single dad. A teenage daughter. And the moment parenting shifts from protecting to preparing. This week on Moms and Their Music, we open the door to a different side of the parenting experience.In our first-ever Dad-isode, our anchor host sits down with Billy Boy, a single father raising a teenage daughter as she steps into a new phase of independence.What unfolds is a conversation about trust, growth, and the delicate balance between holding on and letting go.From navigating the teenage years to reflecting on the role music plays in shaping memories and connection, this episode highlights the often-unspoken thoughts behind fatherhood; especially when raising a daughter.It’s a perspective that is rarely centered, but deeply important.Youtube Playlist for this EpisodeSend us Fan Mail Support the show

 For the first time ever, the full MATM trio is finally in the same room… and the conversation goes exactly as off the rails as you’d expect. No missing chairs. No scheduling chaos. Just the full trio doing what we do best; laughing too hard, telling stories we probably shouldn’t, and saying the quiet parts out loud.What started as a simple recording quickly turned into one of the most fun sessions we’ve had so far. The energy in the room was unreal, the stories escalated faster than expected, and more than once we looked at each other and asked, “Should we cut that?” …and then decided not to.This episode is what happens when moms finally get to talk about a night out and the conversation goes completely off the rails; the kind of honest, hilarious, and sometimes chaotic storytelling that comes from real friendship, motherhood, and life lived out loud.If you’ve ever wondered what happens when three moms get together to talk about parenting, life, music, and the stories that come with it… this episode is exactly that moment.Grab your drink or mocktail, settle in, and come hang out with us.Trust us… this one gets wild.Youtube PlaylistSend us Fan Mail Support the show

The first baby changes your life. The second baby changes everything else.In Episode 6 of Moms and Their Music, we’re talking about the beautifully chaotic reality of welcoming that second child; the shift in family dynamics, the emotional curveballs, the moments that make you laugh just to keep from crying, and the realization that whatever you thought you had figured out the first time… might not apply anymore.This episode is also a long-awaited MATM milestone as Rachel finally joins us on the mic, bringing her voice, perspective, and lived experience into the conversation for the first time.Motherhood doesn’t come with a manual, and adding another tiny human to the mix has a funny way of rewriting the rules you thought you understood.So come hang out with us as we talk about the surprises, the struggles, the humor, and the unexpected beauty that comes with that second child.Because if the first baby teaches you how to become a mom… the second one teaches you how to roll with it.Youtube Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwnGrdjqohPKHIpcpVSStTecLqu-AUnr0&si=rCD8QxT0nUHAP94nNewey Soundcloud:Stream NEWEY music | https://soundcloud.com/neweymusicSend us Fan Mail Support the show

Two of the moms sit down for a conversation that doesn’t try to wrap motherhood into neat little boxes. Bonus moms. Bio moms. Different roles, different emotions and a whole lot of perspective that rarely gets said out loud.What starts as a simple discussion slowly unfolds into something deeper: boundaries that aren’t always clear, love that looks different depending on where you stand, and the quiet truths that live underneath blended family dynamics. There’s no scorekeeping here. No sides to pick. Just honesty, reflection, and the kind of real talk that happens when the mics stay on long enough for the walls to come down.Some moments feel raw. Some feel unexpectedly comforting. And of course, it wouldn’t be MATM without a few laughs breaking through when things get heavy.If you’ve ever lived in the gray areas of modern motherhood or wondered what those conversations sound like behind closed doors; this episode invites you to listen a little closer.Press play… and step into the perspective.Link to the YouTube playlist:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwnGrdjqohPJZUnCUlQDZj4Gr0nqWdX_B&si=-KQiwU6re3NLvUWhSend us Fan Mail Support the show

One of the Moms and Their Music hosts sits down with Tianna for a real, unfiltered mom-to-mom conversation rooted in the music that shaped us and the lives we’re building now. What starts as a discussion about playlists and nostalgia quickly turns into something deeper; motherhood, growth, and the moments that connect us long after the songs fade out.This episode brings back the original MATM energy: honest stories, unexpected laughter, and the kind of conversation that feels more like sitting in a living room than recording a podcast. There’s a light nod to an emo-girl era that may or may not still exist somewhere in our playlists, but at its heart, this is a story about real moms, real experiences, and the music that carries us through every season.Link to YouTube Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwnGrdjqohPJIJeF7513msLqvY_sBRVNQ&si=Ladnkh-5VwOO81vvSend us Fan Mail Support the show

In Episode 2, we get into talks about kid shows, movies, and games. The ones we grew up on, the ones our kids are obsessed with now, and the weird emotional whiplash that happens when those two worlds collide. Somewhere between Bluey episodes, theme song earworms, and background noise we didn’t consent to, something else sneaks in: nostalgia, grief, joy, exhaustion, and a whole lot of “wait… why does this hit?”This episode is funny. It’s nostalgic. It’s honest in that “I didn’t know I needed to say this out loud” kind of way.It’s also one of those conversations that starts light… and then quietly reminds you that being a mom doesn’t erase who you were; It just layers more meaning on top of it.So whether you’re listening while folding laundry, sitting in the car for five minutes of silence, or reliving your childhood through your kid’s favorite show; we’re right there with you. 💿✨🍾Link to the Youtube Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwnGrdjqohPKO-ZNQth9GeQrNQtKiPf4u&si=2V3PopF02U9s8TzgSend us Fan Mail Support the show

This first episode is intentionally unstructured.Two of the hosts sit down with no outline, no script, and no pressure; just two moms talking, laughing, and bouncing off each other’s energy the way it naturally happens. We kick things off with our Song of the Day, wrap up with a Random Kid Moment, and let the rest of the conversation unfold in between.This episode isn’t about perfection or polish. It’s about giving you a real feel for who we are, how we show up, and why music still lives in us even after life gets loud.
