Join Cristina, a career professional turned stay-at-home mom, and the Among Other Things co-founders, Tiffany, Jamie, and Jess as they connect your daily overwhelm to decades of policies that depend on mothers doing it all. This is where shame becomes solidarity, where private struggles reveal public patterns, and where women discover they're not broken, the system is.

S1E4: Is Social Media Bad for Moms Too?
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?

In this episode, Cristina and her friends Jess, Tiffany, and Jamie dive into the tricky conversations about childcare, mental load, and feeling valued at home. They break down why asking for help feels so complicated — touching on societal conditioning, emotional labor, and money dynamics — and share practical strategies for having healthier conversations with your partner. A must-listen for anyone trying to build more equitable, understanding partnerships.
S1E2: Why Am I Drowning In Laundry?
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.
