About This Podcast
Honest Mom Talk is the unfiltered podcast for moms who are tired of pretending everything’s fine and ready to have real conversations about motherhood, mental health, and making space for themselves.
Hosted by Molly and Jillian, this show dives deep into the messy realities of modern motherhood—burnout, mom rage, mental load, identity loss, setting boundaries, and the constant battle between caring for your kids and caring for yourself.
Each episode offers honest stories, expert insights, and practical tools to help you feel seen, supported, and more in control of your own motherhood journey. Whether you're drowning in mom guilt, touched out by bedtime, or wondering if you're the only one struggling—you’re not alone here.
This is the space where moms get real.
Because your needs matter. Your voice matters. And you still matter—beyond the role of "mom."
New episodes every week.
Let’s talk about the hard stuff—together.
