This episode is darling and dreamy, inspiring and touching all at the same time. We are honored to welcome an adorable, adventurous mama of 3! Business Designer & Owner, and Disney enthusiast: Bri Pretrarca (@darlingdreamco) We were so very inspired by Bri’s vision and determination, leaving a teaching career behind to pursue her literal DREAM of designing magical clothing & selling it- eventually making a really good living off of it, and doing it out of her home WHILE mothering three young boys! We are inspired by Bri’s family, who dedicate their lives to shining bright and working together to bring magic to others! Bri is also a Disney enthusiast and we had a fun chat about doing Disneyland with toddlers, and some of her Disneyland faves at the end! You can find Bri on Instagram: @darlingdreamco for all of the amazing items she has for sale in her shop- and a lot of Disney magic!

Not only is Lindsay an expert on doing Disneyland with toddlers (and giving massively good advice in today’s episode!) but she’s also just a MAGICAL MAMA in every sense of the word- always looking for ways to create memories and magic for her babies.

You know those hours between 3-5 pm? Where the kids are jumping off the walls, and you’ve already used up every idea you’ve got, and it’s too late for a nap and too early for dinner?

Well if you’ve experienced what we’d like to call “the witching hour” then this episode is for you!
We are joined once again by special guest, Rachel Benson (The Mom Mindset Show) to give you some advice, tips & mindset shifts to get you through that troublesome witching hour as a mom of young kids!

In this special edition episode of The Mamahood Podcast, we had the chance to sit down with Allison Sorensen: mom of 5, with a kid who “didn’t fit” the regular school system, and because of that, she’s set out to empower parents of other kids who “don’t fit”, or who have made a different choice with educating their children for one reason or another.
As a homeschooling mama, this topic is so important to Maren, and we had the most amazing chat that we think you will love!
Alison Sorensen is the executive director of Ed Opportunity, an organization that helps parents find the right education options for their children. She recently presented a bill in Utah called HB 215 which would allow parents to apply for an $8,000 scholarship to help fund educational expenses such as religious curriculums, therapists, tutors and extracurricular activities.

This weeks episode is all about the life-changing practice of having less tech and TV in our homes.
We have absolutely NO judgement on moms who allow TV- let’s get that straight! We’ve all been there and there are seasons for everything, but we’ve also experienced seasons of less TV and tech in our homes and it’s been life-changing!
So today, we introduce our third and final co-host, Eden Lee, and then have a fun conversation about the pros we’ve seen eliminating TV, and how that has functioned in our homes and with our kids. It’s not easy, folks- but sometimes it’s been worth it!
However YOU do motherhood, just know- YOU are the mom your kids need and you’re doing it right!

We’ve all felt lonely. Whether it was after a new baby, a big move, or just the day to day of caring for our little ones. It’s something we don’t always care to admit, and can weigh us down like no other!
We know it hurts, and we are here to help! In today’s episode, we will discuss some of our most lonely moments as moms, and how we tried to combat them. We will give the best advice we can, and meet you where you stand. It may require some action, or a shift in mindset, but you CAN feel better, and we want you to know it! In the end, we believe that loneliness is okay.
This mom thing is no joke, but just remember that you aren’t alone- and even those surrounded by friends can be experiencing the deepest sense of loneliness. So let’s do this thing together! Hit play, and join us for a vulnerable discussion on this often avoided topic.

Hello! We are back! With one of our most favorite topics: gentle motherhood!
Did you know that most of how we feel about ourselves and our value in the world is formed before the age of 5? When we heard that statistic, we both wanted to do what we could to positively impact our children during these crucial years!
We know it’s not easy to always be a patient or gentle mommy, but we want to share why it’s important to us and how we go about this on a daily basis! Let’s all work on it together!
If you want to shoot Maren some questions, you can find her on Instagram @marendroubay, we also recommend researching Gentle Motherhood online as you can find tons of good resources!

One of our favorite episodes! Shared with you again this week!
In today’s episode, we open up about fatigue, anxiety and postpartum depression. We’ve experienced all three at different times, and we are in the thick of a couple of them now!
Postpartum depression can be all-consuming, and it’s more than just a bad day.
The polarizing fears that come with anxiety are something completely different, yet equally difficult. We will chat vulnerably about night terrors, irrational fears and how cope.
And lastly, Fatigue. So often we sweep this under the rug and “just deal with it” as moms. But it needs to be acknowledged.
We will give you practical solutions for coping with fatigue, anxiety and depression as well as encouragement.
We hope you know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. We’ve been there. We ARE there. Right along with you. So hit play, and cry with us today, mama. We are strong, and we’ve got it in us to keep fighting!
Tully (2018) is the movie we mentioned about postpartum fatigue- it’s rated R, and has adult content, but gives a good look into the life of a tired new mom. Reach out to us via email so we can help you find it, and also find an edited version.

Today we bring you a very important message- FOMO is not necessary! It may be a part of your life, especially during the holidays, but it doesn’t have to be! We firmly believe in JOMO! Or the JOY of missing out! Focusing in on what you’ve got going, the people in your circle, and what your cup is full of.
Today we will share with you a “recipe” for how to find greater Joy, and how we’ve switched our mindsets from FOMO to JOMO! We hope this episode uplifts and encourages you!
Please let us know what you think, and how YOU find JOMO!

Sometimes we are a nutritional, gourmet, Pinterest chef! Other times, we are barely surviving on various “hot cheese” items- AND THAT’S OKAY. Today’s episode will explore what we do in both circumstances, and how we are currently planning, purchasing, preparing and serving food to our families on a daily basis!
We will talk through some of our favorite, go-to meals, snacks, and methods! We will answer some fun lightning-round questions such as: what dishes we are most proud of, what we do that we swore we never would, and what our favorite items are at the grocery store!
You guys. We are SO. DANG. AVERAGE. So this episode had us cracking up, and just spilling the beans about how food ends up in our babies tummies everyday! We hope you can gain some ideas, and relate to us!
Bon appetit!

What do you do when you’re about to lose your cool as a mom? How do we cope with tantrums and tough moments? How can we love our toddlers better?
How can we stay kind and calm in our motherhood? Why and how can we stop yelling at our kids?

This episode had us SO inspired. Ralphie is on a mission to helping kids grow up in better environments, cultivate positive life skills and bond better with their parents. She is also on a mission to help the average mom (who gets overwhelmed!) feel better about her motherhood.
This episode will NOT make you feel bad about the way you parent- it will inspire you in ways you don’t even know you needed!
We hope you love it as much as we do!

Epidural, or none? Midwife or doctor? Scream through the pain, or plug in some hypno-headphones? Childbirth is FULL of choices, and sometimes it just helps to hear about what inspired these decisions in someone else’s story- especially someone you trust!
Well we trust Sarah Clark! (@thedaintypear) And today this powerhouse, doula, blogger-mommy hopped on to chat with us about the many decisions that go into birth!
We will talk about how EVERY birth is “natural” and what inspired each of us to choose whether to go medicated or not! (Hint: most of us had no choice!) We will talk midwives, doctors, birthing classes, c-sections and more!
So tune in for a super casual conversation about our favorite topic- BIRTH!
You can find Sarah Clark on Instagram at @thedaintypear, as well as on YouTube under “Sarah, the Dainty Pear”

Today’s episode is an uplifting, upbeat and unfiltered discussion about documenting! (Plus lots of laughs!)
Am I living in the moment? How do I balance between taking enough photos, and being present? What is my ‘why’ for documenting, and HOW IN THE WORLD can I make it simpler? We will answer all of these questions in today’s episode!
We will talk about our favorite apps, products and processes for storing photos, printing, writing and remembering our motherhood journeys! We will talk about how to live in the moment and find more presence in our parenthood. And we will definitely share some interesting business ideas and maybe talk about raisins- NOT the edible kind! 😂
We really hope you come away feeling less stress, and give yourself permission to simplify this process. We hope you feel empowered to document exactly how much you need to, and can! And we hope you know we are right here with you- as always.

Today we are joined by the phenomenal Ashley Reeves (Ashley’s Fresh Fix). She is a blogger, creator, business owner and BODY LOVE expert. Guys, everything she says is gold. We were in tears, allowing ourselves to finally appreciate and love ourselves after every word she said.
In this episode we talk about how to “love where you live” (AKA your body!) How to spend less time obsessing over your appearance, how to TRULY find gratitude for the body you have, and to release yourself from the prison of self-hate.
Listen, share, soak in this episode, ladies. It is everything you need even if you don’t think you need it.

In today’s episode, we open up about fatigue, anxiety and postpartum depression. We’ve experienced all three at different times, and we are in the thick of a couple of them now!
Postpartum depression can be all-consuming, and it’s more than just a bad day.
The polarizing fears that come with anxiety are something completely different, yet equally difficult. We will chat vulnerably about night terrors, irrational fears and how cope.
And lastly, Fatigue. So often we sweep this under the rug and “just deal with it” as moms. But it needs to be acknowledged.
We will give you practical solutions for coping with fatigue, anxiety and depression as well as encouragement.
We hope you know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. We’ve been there. We ARE there. Right along with you. So hit play, and cry with us today, mama. We are strong, and we’ve got it in us to keep fighting!
Tully (2018) is the movie we mentioned about postpartum fatigue- it’s rated R, and has adult content, but gives a good look into the life of a tired new mom. Reach out to us via email so we can help you find it, and also find an edited version.

“Take time to make your soul happy.” - a quote we read recently that made us think, and think some more. What are you doing for YOUR soul, mama? ‘Soul’ is the combination of body and spirit- so how are you caring for yours??
In today’s episode, we are going to talk about the long tedious job that motherhood is- whether you work outside, or stay at home! And we are long-deserving of some soul care!
Today, we will share with you the ways we care for our mama souls, connect with our “pre-motherhood” selves, and some goals we have for doing more in the future! We will talk love languages, wins and fails, and the times we were basically doctors!! (Not really.)
We hope this episode inspires you to make time for you, and to do it well!

We’re all stressing out about something, am I right?! From diapers to feeding, there’s an endless supply of things for us to ask ourselves, “WHAT THE HECK AM I DOING?!”
Well, guess what, mama. It’s okay that you don’t know what you’re doing! We all don’t. And eventually, we will wish we would have been a lot easier on ourselves! That’s why we have Sarah Powers- a more seasoned mom, and host of the long-running and massively successful podcast ‘The Mom Hour’- to share her point of view from the future. She’s been there, done that.
And she’s here to tell us that it’s all going to be OKAY. (Breathe!) Today we will be covering topics related to sleep (why is my kid suddenly regressing??), toddler behavior (am I a horrible mother for losing my cool?!), and... screen time (how much is really TOO much?)!
We know you all need some comfort in regards to these topics, and Sarah is here to save the day! We were rapidly taking notes during this interview because she just GETS IT, you guys! So hit play now, and enjoy this light-hearted and informative episode!

We’ve all felt lonely. Whether it was after a new baby, a big move, or just the day to day of caring for our little ones. It’s something we don’t always care to admit, and can weigh us down like no other!
We know it hurts, and we are here to help! In today’s episode, we will discuss some of our most lonely moments as moms, and how we tried to combat them. We will give the best advice we can, and meet you where you stand. It may require some action, or a shift in mindset, but you CAN feel better, and we want you to know it! In the end, we believe that loneliness is okay.
This mom thing is no joke, but just remember that you aren’t alone- and even those surrounded by friends can be experiencing the deepest sense of loneliness. So let’s do this thing together! Hit play, and join us for a vulnerable discussion on this often avoided topic.

We are Maren and Aubrey, and we are glad you’re here! Welcome to the podcast where you are loved, seen, and understood. We are average moms like you! We stuff our faces with too much sugar, stay up late watching reality TV, and cry a lot.
We love our babies more than we can say, and we are advocates for motherhood, and all the joy (and sorrow, let’s be real!) that it encompasses. In today’s intro episode, you’ll get to know us a little bit, and hopefully enjoy our heavy dose of TMI. We are amateurs, you guys.
But we know it’s easier to get through life with friends - and we are here to be yours! So sit back, relax (or fold your mountain of laundry), and enjoy a raw and real discussion between two mama’s in the “trenches”- just like you!
