Description

Since we’re not fans of the term “stay-at-home mom” because of its implications that the mom doesn’t really “work” but rather just chills out at home, we’re comparing our lives as a full-time mom at home vs. a full-time working (in the traditional corporate sense) from home mom. That was a mouthful!Context: Kat resigned from her high-pressure, corporate career two months prior to her son’s birth and never returned to work- by choice- and he is now 14 months old (at the time this episode aired). April returned to her full-time corporate career in a work-from-home arrangement when her daughter was 4 months old. April’s daughter is weeks away from her first birthday (also at the time of this episode airing).We discuss the highs and lows, pros and cons, what we are looking forward to the most, and what we are grateful for with our respective situations. We also share our tips for moms on how to vet high quality and trustworthy childcare at the end of this episode.You can view our resources here.If you have a question or would like to work with us 1:1, please book with us here.For discounts across our favorite products and services, check out our affiliate links/codes.If you're feeling philanthropic, please consider making a financial donation— even $5 goes a long way in helping us reach a wider audience to help other moms and soon-to-be moms think more critically and have the courage to mother against the mainstream.

Tired of outdated and conventional motherhood advice? Are you anti- (insert "Big" + industry name) exploiting the mother-baby dyad for financial gain? Do you prefer to think critically about practices and philosophies across the pregnancy to motherhood spectrum? If you said "yes" to any of the above questions, then you're going to fit right in. Don't worry— this is not another "mainstream mama" podcast.Whether you are a soon-to-be mom or a seasoned mom who has "seen it all," April and Kat promise to never shy away from topics that are far too controversial to discuss at the local playground with the "normie" moms or with your child's pediatrician. These topics should not be controversial at all, but sadly in our highly-censored society, almost anything can be interpreted as such.We're so glad you discovered us! Join us every other Friday as we step outside of our comfort zones, say what many of you are thinking but too afraid to admit out loud, and examine mainstream mom narratives through a funny and honest lens. We may just even change your mind about deeply held beliefs if you're open to it!
