Cristina and the moms confront the escalating political, legal, and cultural attacks on women—from violence and erasure to dangerous legislation and rising misogyny online. Grounded in personal stories and hard data, this episode is both a call-out and a call to action.

Cristina and the moms dive deep into how kids absorb gender roles before they even start school—and what we can do to shift the script. From rethinking the language we use to modeling emotional vulnerability, they offer personal stories, practical parenting strategies, and cultural insights into raising emotionally resilient, equity-minded children.

From Night Bitch to Bluey, this week’s episode explores how motherhood is (and isn’t) represented on screen. Cristina, Jamie, Jess, and Tiffany reflect on the emotional cost of never seeing your truth reflected in media—and the power of storytelling to either reinforce outdated roles or spark cultural change. Tune in for a rich, funny, and fierce conversation about what happens when moms take back the narrative.

Cristina, Tiffany, Jess, and Jamie come together to talk about the mental, emotional, and social weight of parenting in 2025.

Cristina and the moms open up about their own experiences with being dismissed by healthcare providers—and dig into the root causes behind it. From underfunded research to outdated gender assumptions, they explore why the medical system often fails women and how we can start to shift it.

With insight and solidarity, they offer tools for self-advocacy, tips for symptom tracking, and full permission to break up with a doctor who isn’t listening.

Cristina and her friends Jess, Tiffany, and Jamie explore the tension between traditional gender roles and feminist ideals in today’s motherhood culture. From the rise of the social media trad wife to the real-life complexities of choosing to stay home, this episode takes a nuanced look at how feminism can evolve—and why more freedom means more options, not less. This candid, thought-provoking chat is for anyone who’s ever questioned if living a “traditional” life can still be a feminist act.

In this episode, Cristina and her co-hosts Jess, Tiffany, and Jamie dig into the question every modern mom wrestles with: is social media helping me cope—or making things worse?

A must-listen for anyone trying to build more equitable, understanding partnerships.

Cristina has 5 baskets of laundry that have been on her couch for a week. This leads to a much deeper conversation between the moms about the invisible labor women are still carrying. From 1950s housewife propaganda to the real-life stress of asking your partner to please just switch the load, this episode takes a funny, honest, and slightly ranty look at what’s really going on behind the laundry basket and all the loads: mental, emotional, and literal.
