Thought baby number one was a challenge? Buckle up, because baby number two is here to turn everything you thought you knew upside down. This week, I’m sitting down with my friend Marina, whose second little one came out strong-willed and independent, ready to keep her on her toes. We’re talking the guilt of splitting time between kids, the chaos of juggling two different personalities, and why planning activities feels like survival. From sibling rivalry to those “what have we done?” moments, Marina and I get real about the emotional toll, while also laughing our asses off. Whether you’re thinking about a second kid or deep in the trenches, this one’s for you! Warning: baby-size curveballs ahead.

Soggy shirts and solidarity ahead: we’re talking breastfeeding. I’m Keira Rose and today I cozied up with my sister from another mister, Kelsey, to rate our breastfeeding journeys (spoiler: it’s not a ten) and swap stories about latch issues, bottle battles, and those oh-so-lovely midnight leaks. From the cozy snuggles to the societal-driven guilt, Kelsey and I get real about the leaks, boob pads, and nipple pains of breastfeeding. Whether you’re a breastfeeding champ, struggling through the latch phase, or just here for the laughs, this episode’s got a little something for every mom.

Whether you’re deep in the parenting trenches or just need a break, this episode’s got you covered—face masks and Vampire Diaries optional. I sat down with my badass mountain-biking mom-friend Sonya Looney to talk about the emotional rollercoaster that is motherhood. Between managing meltdowns, professional goals, and the endless to-do list, we acknowledge the ever-present “mom guilt” and the pressure of trying to “do it all.” Sonya shares her journey of balancing an intense athletic career with the daily chaos of parenting, and I get real about keeping my writing career afloat amid the tantrums and toys. With laughs, candid stories, and a reminder to celebrate the small stuff, Sonya is here to serve up a lot of mom truths.
