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.
