This week, we're tackling the Big D-- Depression! Yeah, we know it's not exactly the sunny-side-up topic we'd prefer, but hey, we're all about shining a light on those dark corners of motherhood! Mel will share some tips and tricks for tackling those blues without losing your sanity... or your chocolate stash. And speaking of uncomfortable feelings, Miranda uncovers a magic formula for helping kiddos learn to regulate their emotions. So grab your headphones, pour yourself a cup of lukewarm coffee (because let's face it, that's all we ever get), and join us for some laughs and a whole lot of mom camaraderie. Remember that together, we've got this parenting gig in the bag... even if that bag sometimes feels like it's full of Legos... and it's repeatedly beating you in the head. Stay strong, stay silly, and remember, you're doing an amazing job, Mama!
