Always Here

Mom guilt comes in all forms — from being a working mom, to the transition from one kid to two, to worrying your kids aren’t eating enough vegetables. In this episode of Always Here, the girls talk about the pressure moms put on themselves, the emotional “firstborn shift,” and why the guilt can feel endless no matter what stage of motherhood you’re in. They also get into awkward conversations about the s*x talk and poll the audience for the wildest, most irrational places mom guilt has taken their minds.

In this episode, the girls open up about the complicated emotions that can come with birth and pregnancy. They talk honestly about C-section guilt and the pressure many moms feel to have a “natural” delivery — and what it’s like to process feelings of disappointment, anger, and healing afterward.

They also share the reality of tough morning sickness, the trial-and-error search for relief, and how pregnancy can look and feel completely different each time. Plus, Abby shares a meaningful update about her rainbow baby and the mix of hope, gratitude, and vulnerability that comes with this season.

This week on Always Here we're getting honest about Botox and filler — the decision, the guilt, and the beauty standards we're all quietly navigating as mothers. We also get into hypocrisy (the fun kind) and all the things we swore we'd never do before we had kids... and then absolutely did. Plus, you sent us your best mom-hypocrisy confessions and they did not disappoint.
