From dreamy Pinterest nursery boards and peaceful baby cuddles to the sleepless nights, emotional rollercoasters, and unexpected identity shifts, they share personal stories and honest reflections on how motherhood has challenged, humbled, and transformed them.

In this episode, we talk about:
- Our pre-baby visions of motherhood
- Not being “kid” people and then becoming mothers
- Guilt and what no one tells you
- How motherhood reshapes your identity
- Learning to let go of unrealistic expectations and embrace the messy beauty of real-life parenting
