Quarantine House
This week on Can You Say Mama, the inevitable happened — both of our households finally got taken down by the relentless hand, foot, and mouth virus. So, while we’re covered in calamine and clinging to our sanity, Sacha’s husband Sheldon steps in as guest co-host to keep the show rolling. We kick things off with the viral Coldplay concert cheating scandal that has everyone on the internet picking sides. Was it a setup, was it shady, or was it just plain messy? Then we dive into what real life looks like these days as parents of two...

Brain Tech, Shaving & Nesting Parties
On this episode of Can You Say Mama, we dream about how amazing, and also completely terrifying it would be to have a little device in your brain to record all those endless to-do lists before they disappear into the void. We also chat about an ex-Bachelor contestant who hasn’t shaved her legs in 7 years to show her daughters you don’t have to conform to beauty norms (and how we feel about that level of commitment). Plus, we’re officially on board with ditching traditional baby showers in favor of cozy, helpful “nesting parties.”...

Bedtime Negotiations, Podcasts & Poop Cruises
This week on Can You Say Mama, we confess how thoroughly our toddlers have outsmarted us, especially when it comes to stalling at bedtime and sweet talking their way into whatever they want. (Seriously, who’s actually in charge here?) We also get a little existential about podcasts themselves... isn’t it weird that people just… talk into microphones and others choose to listen? And Cassie is gearing up for a cruise, but decided to watch Poop Cruise on Netflix beforehand. Was that a good idea or the ultimate nightmare fuel? Grab your headphones and join us...

Time Warps, Re-marrying & Public Shaming
This week on Can You Say Mama, we’re spiraling over how our girls are turning THREE - like, how?! We’ve officially lost all concept of time and are not okay. Then Sacha brings a deep one to the table: an Instagram account sparked a convo about whether you could (or should) re-marry if your spouse is still alive but no longer cognitively present. It’s complicated, emotional, and we’ve got thoughts. And finally, we’re weighing in on the never-ending debate: Is it okay to change your kid in public spaces? What’s practical...

Potty Training, Self Care & Intrusive Thoughts
This week on Can You Say Mama, Sacha shares the messy, funny, and frustrating journey of potty training Gray, because nothing humbles you faster than a toddler refusing to poop on the potty. We also get real about the ongoing challenge of finding time for self-care and date nights. How do you prioritize yourself or your relationship when you’re constantly in survival mode? Spoiler: we’re still figuring it out. And we open up about something that doesn’t get talked about enough: mom irrational and intrusive thoughts. From the random “what ifs” to the mental...

DIYs, Garage Sales, and Opting Out
On this episode of Can You Say Mama, Sacha shares how she’s been keeping Sheldon on his toes with endless house projects—because why hire out when you have a perfectly capable husband with a toolbelt and no escape plan? We also dive into the chaos of hosting a garage sale, including the struggle of trying to declutter while resisting the urge to buy stuff from every other sale in the neighborhood. (We’re just trying to break even, okay?) And then, we get into a thought-provoking convo: Should men be able to opt out of...

We’re talking about how these videos mess with our own heads and why we’re now extra aware of how we talk about food around our kids. Spoiler: it’s complicated.

Skinnytok Drama, Recipe Thieves & Parenting is PR
This week on Can You Say Mama, the algorithm did its thing and now we’re deep in the world of Skinnytok drama—think: toxic body talk, rebranded disordered eating, and why it’s somehow always in our feed. We’re also spilling the tea on the wild world of recipe plagiarism—because apparently, some people think copying an Instagram recipe word-for-word and slapping their name on it is a “creative twist.” And finally, let’s talk about how parenting is basically rebranding and marketing—from selling broccoli as “tiny trees” to rebranding bedtime as a “sleepover with your...

We’re diving into baby sleep and whether we’re brave enough to sleep train our second babies (spoiler: it’s not going well). Are we getting more rest this time around? Definitely not.

And for some laughs, we’re playing a spicy round of FMK (F*ck, Marry, Kill): Baby Gear/Stages Edition.
