Truth Moms

It’s Courtney’s turn! Listen in while she shares the emotional, funny, and deeply real story of welcoming Baby Kowalske #2 (who also makes his Podcast debut guest appearance for those watching the podcast in video format!)In this episode of The Truth About Childbirth, Courtney’s version, she shares the emotional rollercoaster of discovering her baby was breech, navigating an ECV procedure, and ultimately facing an unexpected C-section. This episode is loaded with plot twists, surprises, and what happens when your baby says “birth plan who?”. Because sometimes childbirth is less “calm birth playlist” and more “husband sliding across the floor in his underwear because the baby is coming.”Courtney also opens up postpartum emotions, C-section recovery, breastfeeding, hospital advocacy, and the wild reality of healing while caring for a newborn and a toddler.This is more than just a story of birth, it’s an episode packed with fear and surrender, strength and recovery, and a reminder that birth is beautiful even when it does not go according to plan. Because all the statistics in the world can never count on your personal experience, even baby to baby. _ADS INFO:| MaxGen | Grab your genetic roadmap for life!

In Part 2, the Moms go beyond loss as Marist opens up about the realities no one prepares you for - navigating friendships after stillbirth, receiving pregnancy announcements while grieving, and the quiet ways people unintentionally get it wrong… even when they mean well.This conversation is raw, honest, and deeply necessary. Marist also shares what it’s like approaching Harvey’s first birthday—the rituals, the remembrance, and the intentional ways she’s choosing to honor him while still moving forward.33 Days to...Series | A 12-book guided journey to self-growth & fulfillment : ⁠https://www.actualizelifestyle.com/33-days-to-series⁠_ADS INFO:| MaxGen | Grab your genetic roadmap for life!

One year later… and the story didn’t end. It avalanched.In this deeply personal follow-up, Brit and Court sit back down with Marist Lamson to revisit her stillbirth journey (Episode 19A & 19B) but not from the raw immediate moment - this time from the sacred lens of heart healing and the complicated place that comes after.Marist opens up about what the first year after stillbirth actually holds - from quiet triggers and unexpected connections, to the relationships that stretch and the ones that didn’t survive. Marist shares what it’s been like to walk alongside other women in similar pregnancies specifically IUGR and SIUGR, to hold space for their fear while carrying her own grief, and to live in the tension of joy and grief at the same time.Marist brings the moms along her journey to self actualizing, finding peace, finding community, understanding her future projects from the past events, and how the new year didn’t mean she lost Harvey.It started as a story about loss. It became about what happens when the world keeps spinning and learning how to spin with it. It avalanched into spinning the worst moment of her life to a universal calling of a lifetime. 33 Days to...Series | A 12-book guided journey to self-growth & fulfillment : https://www.actualizelifestyle.com/33-days-to-series_ADS INFO:| MaxGen | Grab your genetic roadmap for life!

On this Play Date and Tell feature with Khara motherhood, meaning, and music collide. In this deeply personal episode of Truth Moms, Brit and Court sit down for a raw, unfiltered conversation about what it really looks like to raise and love a neurodivergent child, beyond the buzzwords and beyond the labels.This one hits different for Brit as her world’s collide with her two passion projects - from speaking her mind with Truth Moms, to speaking her heart with Strawberry Road.With April being Autism Awareness Month, this episode dives into Autism, diagnosis, and the sacred, messy middle of motherhood. From the moment of hearing “your child has Autism” to building a life rooted in empathy, inclusion, and joy, this one is sure to bring the tears and the tea (looking at you Target Stores). Inclusion isn’t a trend - it’s a responsibility. Raising kids in a world that isn’t always built for them makes one appreciate even more friendship, community, and finding your people. And maybe most importantly, moments like these kids offer simply teach us how to be better humans. The truth is: Autism isn’t something to fix; it’s something to understand, honor, and make space for.If you’re a parent, a friend, a teacher, a caregiver, or just someone trying to raise kinder humans or be one, this episode will stretch your heart and open your thoughts to the fullest realization that every child matters.#AutismAwareness #NeurodivergentKids #MotherhoodUnfiltered #SpecialNeedsParenting #InclusionMatters #TruthMoms #StrawberryRoad #AutismAcceptance #MomPodcast #ParentingPodcast —This episode is rooted in real-life stories of diagnosis, friendship, and raising neurodivergent childrenADS INFO:| MaxGen | Grab your genetic roadmap for life!

You thought this episode was just going to be about Lent, but it turns into a conversation about discipline, boundaries, peer pressure as adults, social media addiction, motherhood, identity, and what happens when you actually get quiet long enough to hear your own thoughts again. Spoiler alert if you’re Court it’s not ideal. This episode is about giving things up, but not in the traditional way and definitely not just sweets. It’s about ego. Control. Habits. Distractions. It’s about realizing how uncomfortable silence is, how addicted we are to noise, and how much easier it is to hold boundaries to the outside world then when your closest people want you to just “have one drink,” “just see this one thing online,” or “just break it this once.”Whether you observe Lent or not, this episode is really about one question: What has more control over your life than you want to admit?ADS INFO:| Needed | Best & Most Complete Prenatals and Women’s Health Supplements!⁠Click here ⁠and use code TRUTHMOMS for 20% off: https://needed.sjv.io/YRarQO| Truly Free |⁠⁠Main Site⁠⁠ CODE: TRUTHMOMS for 30% off NEW and EXISTING customers! : https://click.trulyfreehome.com/aff_c...⁠Laundry Stain System with 100 Loads for FREE⁠ : https://click.trulyfreehome.com/aff_c...⁠Dishwasher Bundle - Buy 8 Get 8⁠: https://click.trulyfreehome.com/aff_c...⁠300 FREE Loads⁠: https://click.trulyfreehome.com/aff_c... | MaxGen |As a thank you to our listeners, go to our link at ⁠https://MaxGenLabs.com/TRUTHMOMS ⁠ for 10% off your own test and start your personalized health journey today.This episode discusses Lent, Catholic faith, Christian faith, fasting, social media detox, self discipline, boundaries, motherhood, identity, personal growth, and intentional living in modern motherhood.

Season 5 is here and we’re done trying to be palatable.In this kickoff episode of Truth Moms, we’re coming in hot with real-life chaos and unfiltered motherhood. This season is under construction… literally and spiritually.From recording podcasts with babies in our laps (and also nursing because WDGAF about what men think of breastfeeding live), navigating pregnancy, living faithfully, and the internet’s strong opinions that we are so unbothered but also really bothered by. This episode is a messy, honest look at what it means to grow up and stop performing for everyone else.

This episode of Truth Moms is what happens when motherhood, stomach bugs, sleep deprivation, and group chat tension collide. The Moms talk drama with friendships (spolier alert it's not just mom groups), default parent burnout, co-sleeping, gentle parenting, mental load, and why women simmer while men simply… get a beer and move on. Oh yes, Brit and Court have entered the chat on the newest Baby Mama Llama Viral Drama with Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore, Ashley Tisdale, Meghan Trainor, and uh, Hilary’s husband? (queue Brit gagging on a soy boy milk latte). From puking kids and surviving sickness as the default parent, to navigating toxic social groups, celebrity mom drama, and the awkward reality of making mom friends as an adult, this episode gets twisty and we're not just talking about the cutest 3 year old camera man. Click Bait and Unpack - mom group politics and quiet exclusion - why not every mom needs to be your mom friend - social media comparison - why dads jumping into women’s conflicts is an immediate ick - Quick Round Q&A from Instagram No parenting advice. No fake harmony. Maybe a monologue. Definitely a toddler cameo.   DISCOUNT CODES & LINKS: Truly Free Links & Codes:  $39 Stain Removal System with 100 FREE Loads of Laundry Detergent Subscription Offer (coupon does NOT apply) Main Website - CODE: TRUTHMOMS (coupon code DOES apply)  Needed: 20% off Sitewide on vitamins and supplements for NEEDED.

A season ending at the end of the year - the Truth Moms end 2025 by throwing out hustle for holy and resolutions for realignments. Because the truth is, convenience is not the same as peace, and not everything that feels familiar is healthy. Bring on the boundary setting and toss the tv binging. The reality is: the real reset starts with choosing peace over perfectionism and creativity over consumerism. Stop doom scrolling, pause the vision board, grab a book (preferably a Bible), take a breath, and join the moms for a true fresh start in 2026. Less dopamine more discernment.

She said yes. Actually… she didn’t think marriage was even on the table. On this episode of Truth Moms, Brit spills the entire engagement story. The doubts, the faith, the cussing (we’re working on it), the kids-at-weddings debate update, and the moment you realize you don’t need an exit plan anymore. The engagement may have happened on the Winter Solstice, but the road to happily ever after has been anything but short. In fact, Brit and Court discuss the Christmas miracle that is Brit's change of heart on the vocation of holy matrimony. The truth is: you’re allowed to change. As for Brit, marriage found her after motherhood changed her. And sometimes the most sacred yes comes after years of saying no. Tune in to the most unexpected chapter of growth as modern woman meets ancient sacrament, and what was and wasn't on the vision board. Here's to RINGing in 2026 choosing trust over control. Not even therapy could stop this.

This near-season, pre Christmas episode genuinely is a catch all dish, literally.  It was supposed to be a part 2 to travel - but thanks to pregnancy brain and drive-thru survival, the moms get less rigid and let go.  Seriously, from crunchy-ish to Crunch wraps (Taco Bell forever), scent sensitivities, packing anxiety, clean living in other people’s homes, pregnancy craving to prenatal pills - consider this your permission to living in the middle. You’re not failing, babe, you’re adapting.  No format. No structure. Just two moms talking through real life while trying to not get smacked by a microphone (metaphorically and literally).  Order up some French fries (preferably from Court’s favorite McDonald’s) and press play on humbling rambling.  Audio under construction. Pardon our technical difficulties with sound. We’re all learning here.    DISCOUNT CODES & LINKS: Truly Free Links & Codes:  $39 Stain Removal System with 100 FREE Loads of Laundry Detergent Subscription Offer (coupon does NOT apply) Main Website - CODE: TRUTHMOMS (coupon code DOES apply)  Needed: 20% off Sitewide on vitamins and supplements for NEEDED.

Traveling with kids isn’t “a trip” - it’s a full contact sport. In this episode of Truth Moms, Brit and Court unpack the chaotic reality of flying with toddlers. If you’ve ever boarded an airplane with a child and immediately started sweating through your shirt, congratulations you’re in the right place.    Fasten your seatbelt for sweaty airport meltdowns and stroller gymnastics, unsolicited “Do you need help?” moments and newborn “potato baby” travel bliss to toddler acrobatics at 30,000 feet.    Keeping it real in real time, the moms are live from two very glamorous locations: a nostalgic Philadelphia attic full of random Santas and coolers, and a Nashville home where everyone is “winging it” for their first official remote podcast episode. Totally on-brand for moms who can barely record a full episode without an audio crisis or a toddler scaling a pile of luggage.    This episode the moms drop the playbook on actual mom travel hacks to survive planes, airports, road trips, delays, toddler attention spans, mom arm-paralysis, survival snacks, naps (or lack there-of), and everything in between.   If you’re gearing up for holiday travel, traveling with babies, or just want to feel better about your last TSA meltdown, consider this segment of unsolicited airport sociology your emotional support animal.

This week on the moms get cozy (peppermint mochas and pregnancy cravings included) and dive into real Christmas conversations. Okay, the truth? It’s a Christmas therapy session disguised as a podcast.  Court and Brit drop bombs on the overwhelming commercialism surrounding “the perfect Christmas.”  Elf on the Shelf? Hard pass. Big Brother in a onesie. Santa? Cute, but he’s not taking credit for the gifts these women stayed up all night assembling. Consumerism? They see it. They roast it. They refuse to let Target decide their holiday joy. But this episode isn’t about being the Grinch. Because somewhere between childhood memories, mom guilt, and moments of unexpected spiritual clarity, the girls start piecing together what a real Christmas looks like in their homes: one rooted in faith, family, cozy traditions, and the kind of belly laughs only toddlers can produce. So join the moms on the hot mess Polar Express of pressures to compare homes, gifts, and perfectly curated holiday aesthetics, and then slam the door shut on all of it. Add to your holiday to-do list a Christmas that feels less like a production and more like a warm hug (with maybe one Hallmark movie binge). Press pause on the holiday rush, and press play on their two cents. Keep the change, ya filthy animal.  Instagram: @truthmomspod TikTok: @truthmoms   DISCOUNT CODES & LINKS: Truly Free Links & Codes:  $39 Stain Removal System with 100 FREE Loads of Laundry Detergent Subscription Offer (coupon does NOT apply) Get 300 Laundry Loads!

Tis the season to be grateful, truthfully. In this holiday-coded chaos-isode, the Moms go from Christmas shirts on November 1st to kids learning their first curse word (thanks, wasps), second trimester resurrection energy, and the mom-friend drama that Brit has no focus for because her attention is now going to  the bug invasion in the podcast shedquarters.  A shortlist if you will of some things to be grateful for: • New Mom School & Postpartum Support • Courtney’s pregnancy updates • Talkative, messy, magical children • Babies crawling like tiny CrossFit athletes • Voice memos • Instagram saying “you’re doing great, sweetie” at 11PM • Being done explaining parenting choices to cupcake moms  • A heartfelt moment on friendship, faith, and who you’d cut a hole in a roof for • Ditching guilt about not being invited everywhere A messy, honest, giggly and just sarcastic enough episode to get you through until the turkey is ready. Because nothing says ‘season of gratitude’ like Brit battling a studio wasp while pretending to be festive.

Unhinged from the moment they pressed play (seriously, because the camera didn’t work AGAIN), the Moms get unfiltered and almost-too-honest on this episode of the Truth Moms Podcast. We peel back the curtain on hot takes nobody asked for, but everybody secretly has.  From tiny humans crashing formal events to the surprising hills we’re apparently willing to die on, we cover it all, with plenty of mom-coded chaos. We wander into the world of kids at weddings, chaotic birthday parties, and why some so-called “relaxing” activities might actually be a direct portal to stress. We question modern trends, social norms, comfort culture, and even the everyday body parts we take for granted. Yes, the thumbs conversation happened, and no we’re not sorry. A sneak preview of the spicy  subjects? Say less: • mini-rant on GLP-1s • dunkin>starbucks • Southwest cattle call • picnics are a personal attack We’re inviting you to our unfiltered chatroom now, so grab your bold opinions and hold on to the comforting validation that you’re not the only one who thinks the world has been lying about what’s “fun.”

The Moms are Baaaaaaaaack.    There’s a new space. A new chapter. A new… someone? something? Listen, we’re not saying anything yet… but we’re definitely saying something.    This season we’re talking about the real stuff: The mental load, the mom rage, the glow-ups, the breakdowns, and the kind of growth that only happens when life hits you right in the womb-space. Wink wink.    If you came for the curated version of motherhood, babe, you’re in the wrong house.   Season 4 just pulled up in combat boots with a dirty matcha and zero patience for pretending.   Welcome home.     CODY'S COMEBACK:   Stacia Scott's from Postpartum Care USA 3 year old son battling Stage M High-Risk Neuroblastoma—a rare and aggressive pediatric cancer.

Our first of many momisodes with real moms who have their own take on motherhood, because there’s no one way to mom.  This week we catch up with Very Cavallari alumni, Kaylee. Since the show, Kaylee and her wife have moved to the Bronx, back to Music City, and became moms. The process? Not the old fashion way. Kaylee gets real on the cost and the countless challenges that IVF families face - and even more so same sex families. Dive in as we talk sperm banks and syringes and the step by step process from Kaylee’s personal account.    @kayleerote   RESOURCES:   Attorney: https://www.rubenfeldlaw.com/   IVF Clinic: https://www.tnfertility.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=ck-cpc&utm_content=TFI&utm_campaign=Branded+Campaign&utm_adgroup=&utm_term=tennessee%20fertility%20institute&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=10279975602&gclid=CjwKCAjwvO7CBhAqEiwA9q2YJd32PqYaSCcxBQcLzPB0fL4ml8yEf7FPfCvBA2VK2M4rZpobqcVV4RoCeCEQAvD_BwE   LGBT parents group: https://eastnashvillequeerparents.com/meetups-events/

Welcome back and buckle up. This season the moms decided to give more real and raw experiences, not realizing they’d be the ones to experience them.   In a raw moment that wasn’t meant to be on camera, Brittainy opens up about the dark side of influencer culture—and what it was really like behind the scenes of Very Cavallari. Spoiler alert: she’s not the same woman who once lived in a reality TV group chat.   We then catch up with the moms in yet another transition period and talk about what life looks like post-4th trimester for Brit, going back to work with babies at home, and how “working mom” is the biggest challenge.   Trigger warning for those who have lost and are listening for the next segment, as Courtney shares her deeply personal experience with miscarriage and the silent grief so many women carry.   It’s honest. It’s raw. It’s a little unhinged.

On this episode with Instinctual Mothering’s Andrea, the Truth Moms squad explores the history behind predatory formula marketing and the constant maternal pressure around feeding your baby. How does the intricate web of advertising tactics used by formula brands shape parenting choices? Second-guessing comes with motherhood, because let’s face it—it can’t be taught in a book**—**or a pamphlet. We all agree “fed is best,” but where does that term stem from, and what exactly was the original intent behind the message? The moms explore the history of formula and pediatrics, popular formula brands’ war on breastfeeding, why formula milk marketing might actually place more pressure on mothers, and how community—not shame, blame, or any advertising game—can help you make the best choice for your baby. Trust your gut—you’re going to want to tune into this one.

Spring forward with a new season of Truth Moms. School might be out this week, but the Moms are BACK. Before we get in deep with guests and gossip, Brit & Court recap what they’ve been up to since the first season. A small sabbatical for some big events, so postPARDON the interruption. Let’s get into birth stories, life lessons, organized chaos, and as always, truths. 

In this episode, Courtney sits down with Brittainy to dive into the art of finding your “scrunchy squad”—a group of like-minded moms who share your values, quirks, and parenting vibes.  They share tips on how to break the ice, build genuine connections, and navigate the world of “mom dating” without the awkwardness. From striking up conversations at the park to figuring out if someone shares your take on holistic living and parenting, this episode is all about finding your tribe and creating a support system that truly gets you.  Whether you’re new to motherhood or just looking to expand your circle, this chat is packed with relatable stories, practical advice, and lots of laughs. Don’t miss it!

Court and Brit discuss parenting styles and discover they may not fit in one box: parenting à la carte, if you will. With every parent and every child on their own journey, the moms also discuss parenting in the wild: how to maneuver different styles and respect everyone’s path to parenthood while simultaneously being mindful of their own boundaries. One thing is for sure: there are many different approaches to raising littles, and not one path is the only way to do it.

Brittainy breaks down the history of breastfeeding coupled with her own experience. Having extended from EBF (exclusively breastfeeding) after learning her milk was high in lipase and the two week recommended bottle feeding wait period turned her baby off bottle feeding and into a boob barnacle. B gives her thoughts on breastfeeding, formula feeding, and why mothers should throw out the book and go with their gut, because fed is truly best.

Brit and Court, like many moms across America, have qualms with the food industry. With MAHA movement in full force, the moms go into a important discussion about the future, culture, and conversations around health and wellness are changing. And who would’ve thought it began with a few disgruntled mommy bloggers. 

In this episode of Truth Moms, Courtney and Brittainy dive into one of the most overlooked parenting topics: circumcision. After extensive research, Courtney made the choice not to circumcise her son at birth and is now sharing everything she learned—the pros, cons, myths, and facts—with Brittainy, who’s expecting but doesn’t know the gender of her baby. Never having seriously considered this decision before, Brittainy listens, asks questions, and explores the topic from a fresh perspective. They also discuss why circumcision remains such a normalized, unquestioned practice in the United States compared to other parts of the world. Why don’t more parents talk openly about this decision? Are we missing key information as a society? This honest, thoughtful conversation sheds light on a topic many parents face but rarely dive into.
