Motherhood: WTF?: Recent Episodes
Casey Sampietro
Motherhood is like a game with no instruction manual. A lot of the trials of parenting are unspoken, and I’m here to talk about them. I’m not a early childhood studies professional, a doctor, or a five-star mom. I’m just a first time mom who is clueless, reliant on Google, and learning as she goes. Let’s talk (and laugh) about it.
Casey sits down with her DINK (duel income, no kids) bff Theresa and chats about life. Theresa shares why she originally did not want to have kids or get married, but has since changed her tune. They also talk about Botox, sleep, and various other random and fun topics.
Today Casey shares the 10 biggest lessons learned in her first year of motherhood. The importance of adjusting your perspective, trusting your "inner circle" and more. She shares some stories and fond memories from her first year with her son, as well as mistakes she has made along the way.
Casey is back and she’s talking life updates and New Year’s resolutions. She tries to make her resolutions selfish- but realizes mid show that she is kind of failing at that.
In this episode, Casey discusses overconsumption when it comes to parenting. Using her own real-world experiences, she reflects on what she feels is necessary in those first few months of parenthood-- and what is not. It is easy to fall victim to marketing that makes you believe you need EVERYTHING in order to be a good mom, but that is simply not true!

Today Casey sits down with Taylor Cordell, a therapist specializing in moms, couples, and sex.
