Becoming a mom changes everything, but no one really tells you what comes next.

In this episode of C Your Ts Podcast, Bradlee opens up about the emotional shift that happens after having a baby. What it feels like to leave your child for the first time, how your priorities change overnight, and the quiet pressure of trying to balance work, family, and your sense of self.

What starts as a light, funny conversation about gym habits, inside jokes, and everyday chaos slowly becomes something deeper. We talk about identity, fulfillment, and what it means to show up for others while still taking care of yourself.

Honest, warm, and unexpectedly real, this episode is about learning to find balance in a life that no longer looks the way it used to.

Welcome back to C Your Ts. This week, Chris and Tracy are joined by Val for a wide-ranging, laugh-heavy conversation that starts with favorite movies and somehow ends with mayonnaise, mushrooms, and deeply formative childhood moments.

Val breaks down the films she can watch over and over again, the movies that quietly shaped who she is today, and why Jennifer Lopez had a very specific cultural moment that mattered. Along the way, the conversation drifts into parenting, nostalgia, questionable food opinions, and the kind of tangents that only happen when friends feel comfortable.

It is funny, a little unhinged, unexpectedly thoughtful, and exactly the kind of episode that reminds you why movies stick with us long after the credits roll.

There is a moment in adulthood when something quietly shifts.

Your parents stop being superheroes, rule-makers, and fixed points in your life, and you start to see them as people. People with pasts, doubts, mistakes, and stories you never fully understood before.

In this episode of C Your Ts Podcast, the conversation moves from movies and memories into that realization. We talk about the strange, funny, and sometimes uncomfortable moment when you discover your parents were figuring things out too. The discussion touches on growing up, changing perspectives, and what it means to hold empathy for the people who raised you while still becoming your own person.

Thoughtful, honest, and occasionally funny, this episode explores the in-between space where adulthood sneaks up on you and nothing quite looks the same afterward.
