Hey Mother Toughers, I have been in a horrible cycle of anxiety lately and I am learning a lot from processing through these emotions.  Being a parent, in any capacity, is filled with anxiety, stress, and worry which can make things hard.  This stress and anxiety can put a lot of strain on our relationships or just trickle straight down to our kids.  I am practicing this new technique of brain dumping my anxiety down on paper to more tactfully process and work through these emotions.  I went into this episode completely vulnerable beca...

Hey Mother Toughers... we are diving back into the radical feminists (I know BIG UGH!) because they are anti feminism at its core.  We are getting political with the democrats of Congress all voting no on protecting our girls and women in sports.  I was truly shocked to see this take place and I am here to piss some people off over my opinion of what REAL feminism is.  There was also a little update in the Lively vs Baldoni saga and I think I might have begun perimenopause!  Woo, let's get to the...

Hey Mother Toughers!!!  Happy Monday, I am back from surgery and super nasally but we are still tackling parenting like the amazing hot mess we are!  This time of recovering has got me reflecting a lot on how I am handling parenting while I hand the parenting reigns over to others during recovering.  Recovering also has me online shopping in the TikTok shop and stumbling across the worst-mother-of-the-century's, a.k.a. Casey Anthony, TikTok profile.  Do not worry this mama, and thousands of other TikTok moms are ALL speaking out about how she SHOU...

Hi there Mother Toughers, jumping in to have a short conversation about what a pathological liar is and some signs of how to pinpoint one.  This is all on the tail of our Monday episode, the lies of amanda, where we talked about the story of Amanda Riley and the scam of a life that she lead.  We have all been around a liar and probably have been one ourselves but a pathological liar is on a whole different level than just the little white lies.  We also do a quick chat about how...

Welcome back Mother Toughers!!! This week we are talking about lying... why our kids do it, that we are all guilty, and fraud.  A fraud case that caught my eye recently was that of Amanda Riley, who faked cancer to gain friends, community celebrity, and who knows what else was her motivation behind this lie that extended years while impacting so many.  All my information is from the docu series on HULU, Scamanda, which is based on the podcast Scamanda.  

We have a BONUS episode, Tough Tidbits #5, coming out this Thursday tha...

Hey Mother Toughers... just a heads up, this week we are discussing the docu series The Fall of Diddy so a lot of TRIGGERS around abuse will be mentioned.  I also dive into why I am scared of my upcoming surgery due to the traumatic birth of baby girl.  On a lighter note, I read a new genre of book and even typing this has got me blushing... reality TV is doing the most right now and I am taking no disrespect from anyone!

The Fall of Diddy is on MAX, it...

Hey Mother Toughers!!!  February goals are underway and so are adjustments to creating the peace.  As a bonus mom, we sometimes hit a place in our journeys where we have to make choices that are painful and also have to make constant adjustment to our parenting, just like any other parent.  In general, parenting comes with continuous changes not only in our children but how we handle situations.  Then as our kids get older we prepare for them to either jump out of the nest themselves or we give them a swift out of t...

Hey Mother Toughers!!! Last week's mental heaviness has me seeking out some peace in my life and with inner peace comes happier people around us.  I do not know about you but the winter months can be so difficult, not only do we hit the winter blues but holidays add a particular weight to our already heaviness.  I found  this great website with an article about inner peace and I hope that you are ready to make some goals to bring just that to yourself.  https://declutterthemind.com/blog/inner-peace

And, why...

Happy Monday Mother Toughers, I think the winter blues have slapped me right in the face this last week because I have felt so down.  As moms we carry not only our own mental load but that of all of our children's and partner's mental loads as well; we are perpetually trying to hold everything in the household together.  Other things that hit hard this week were the huge lineup of Trump's executive orders, he came out hitting it hard on day one and I am here for it plus the run down of...

Happy Monday and happy Inauguration Day, Mother Toughers!!!  So many changes in a short amount of time, from the changes Trump is wanting to put into place within the his first 24 hours as president, to the short lived TikTok ban, and the major hit to the Lively vs Baldoni suits.  WOO!  What a difference one week can make.  Today marks the day we get a new president and Joe can go take a nap.  Baldoni is suing the Lively-Reynold's with a suit more expensive than their combined net worth's.  The U.S. government though...
