Episode 20 – Hearts Grow, Bellies Too - The Magic of Motherhood
In our first deep dive into full-on parenting mode, we’re getting real about the highs, lows, and absolute chaos of motherhood. From surviving our teen years without a teen pregnancy to growing up thinking we had to choose between careers or kids, we’re unpacking it all.
We chat about the rollercoaster of being a working mother today, gentle parenting as Dubliners (not for the weak), and our deep respect for the mams who came before us—single mothers, cloth nappy warriors, and those who survived without the convenience of slow cookers and freezer bags. Amilia shares her genius tactics for scaring off boys, while Kelly makes a huge announcement that changes everything.
We’re also tackling postpartum and pregnancy mental health, birth challenges like placental abruption and hyperemesis, and the impossible standard of the “perfect maminfluencer” (spoiler: she doesn’t exist). Plus, we celebrate millennial dads, reminisce about matinée coats and vans stuffed with mattresses, and ask ourselves—what are we actually nailing as mothers, and what still needs work?
Oh, and if you ever wondered where Amilia hides from her kids… she’s finally telling.
