Motherish

Last night we watched "GOAT" and immediately looked at each other like… yeah, this one hits.

In this episode, we talk about why this movie stayed with us. It is fun, fast and completely entertaining for kids, but underneath it is really about believing in your child before the world does. We get into the power of the words we say, the fear we sometimes project onto our kids and what it means to truly let them try.

The film features a standout cast including Caleb McLaughlin and his Stranger Things co-star David Harbour, alongside Gabrielle Union, Aaron Pierre, Nicola Coughlan and Nick Kroll. NBA champion Stephen Curry, Ayesha Curry, Dwyane Wade and WNBA stars Angel Reese and A’ja Wilson also lend their voices, bringing real star power to Will’s underdog journey.

From loose teeth and Tooth Fairy drama to big dreams like the Great Wall of China, this conversation turned into something deeper than we expected.

"GOAT" is in theaters now and it is such a good pick for a full family movie night.

Welcome back to Motherish! In today’s episode, we’re reflecting on how much we’ve changed since we first hit record. Motherhood has shifted us. Life has stretched us. And this podcast has grown right alongside us.

We’re diving into our evolution, the lessons we didn’t see coming, and the ways we are not the same women who started this journey.

We’re so glad you’re here. Welcome back to Motherish.

This week on Motherish, we’re taking a moment to look back on five years of laughs, lessons, and yes… plenty of late-night recordings. From how far we’ve come to what we’ve learned along the way, this episode is all about reflection and gratitude.

We’re also talking about what’s ahead: holiday break plans, how we’re choosing to recharge and reset, and why rest (and guilt-free naps) are non-negotiable this season. Consider this your permission slip to slow down right alongside us.

Every mom feels it this time of year, that pressure to make the holidays magical. The traditions, the gifts, the matching pajamas, the special everything… and honestly, it can get overwhelming fast.

Today on Motherish, we’re joined by Paige Connell (@sheisapaigeturner) to talk about simplifying the season without losing the joy. She brings such a real, refreshing perspective on letting go of perfection and creating meaningful moments that actually feel good for you and your family.

We’re unpacking holiday expectations, burnout, mom guilt, and how to rediscover the magic in a way that’s peaceful instead of pressured. Because the holidays aren’t about production, they’re about presence.

This week on Motherish, we’re calling out the curated chaos of performative mom culture: the pressure to look perfect, patient, and pulled-together while we’re actually surviving on caffeine and vibes. We break down how social media shapes our expectations, why it messes with our confidence, and what it really means to be authentic in motherhood. A reminder we all need: the mess is real… and so is the magic.
