About This Podcast

Welcome to The Modern Motherload! This is a podcast for moms who are carrying way too much: emotionally, mentally, physically, and probably in their car trunks. Hosted by two women with 3 kids each, this is where we vent, overshare, and laugh about the unhinged reality of modern motherhood. From vacation meltdowns to school emails to the total identity crisis no one warned us about--we’re not okay, and that’s okay. We’re not here to be perfect moms. We certainly don't have all the answers. But once in a while, you might accidentally learn something. Maybe.
