In this episode we’re talking about family traditions, the ones we grew up with, the ones we wanted to carry on, and the new ones we’re creating for our own families.

But with traditions also come expectations… and sometimes, boundaries. We get into what it was like becoming moms during COVID, standing our ground when people didn’t necessarily agree with our choices, and realizing that having a baby somehow makes everybody think they get a vote.

And because we’re raising kids in a completely different world, we have to talk about the internet. From posting our children online to asking family members not to share pictures, we unpack why some people have such a hard time respecting those boundaries, and why parents shouldn’t have to keep explaining themselves.

At the end of the day, we’re all figuring out which parts of our upbringing we want to hold onto, what we want to change, and what traditions our kids will hopefully complain about to their own friends one day.

This episode, we’re digging into our African roots and asking the question: are we breaking generational curses… or are some of these cultural proverbs actually worth keeping? 😂

We’re talking about the things our parents told us growing up, the lessons that still make sense today, and the ones that have us wondering, wait… why did we believe that?!

And then there are all those things we SWORE we would never do when we became parents… only to hear our parents’ exact words coming out of our mouths. Because apparently becoming your mother is a slow process you don’t realize is happening until it’s already too late.

From cultural traditions to parenting habits and the things we’re choosing to do differently, we’re figuring out what deserves to be passed down and what can respectfully end with us.

Whether you grew up in an African household or just had parents who hit you with a good old “because I said so,” there’s something in this one for you.

In this episode, we're catching up on summer so far, reliving our glorious bestie spa day (10/10, highly recommend), and reminding ourselves what it feels like to be relaxed... even if it was only for a few hours.

Then we dive headfirst into one of the internet's most exhausting debates: Who eats first, the man or the kids? We honestly can't believe we're even discussing it, but somehow this conversation resurfaces every year on Beyoncé's internet. So naturally, we had to weigh in, call out the toxicity, and add a little common sense to the conversation.

As always, expect plenty of laughs, a few side quests, and the kind of unfiltered opinions you'd hear if you were sitting at the table with us.

Grab a snack and join the conversation... preferably while the kids aren't asking you for a bite every 30 seconds.

Welcome back to Chasing Sanity.

In this episode, we tackle a more serious side of motherhood as we talk about baby blues, postpartum rage, and everything in between. We keep it real about what these experiences can actually look like, how long they can last, and some of the signs that are often overlooked, especially in Black women.

We also get honest about breastfeeding and the harsh reality that just because you can breastfeed doesn't mean it's easy. From supply struggles and physical discomfort to the emotional toll, we discuss the challenges that don't always get talked about enough.

Too often, moms are expected to push through, while their feelings are dismissed or ignored. We talk about why these conversations matter, how we can better support one another, and why asking for help should never be seen as a weakness.

While this is one of our more serious episodes, we still manage to find moments to laugh through the chaos, because sometimes humor is the only thing keeping us sane.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed, unseen, or like you were carrying more than anyone realized, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we explore the pressures moms often place on themselves, the expectation to do it all, the guilt of putting ourselves first, and the challenge of maintaining our identity beyond motherhood. We discuss what truly counts as “me time,” the journey of “getting our pink back,” and the career guilt many working moms face as they balance ambition, family, and personal fulfillment. Join us as we challenge unrealistic expectations, embrace self-care without guilt, and remind ourselves that taking care of ourselves isn’t selfish…it’s essential.

In this episode, we get brutally honest about sleep… or honestly the complete lack of it. At this point, a full night’s rest feels more like a myth parents tell each other to survive.

We’re talking about our own experiences navigating sleep with kids, the different ways we approached bedtime struggles, and the never-ending debate that is co-sleeping. From doing what works for your family to questioning every parenting decision at 2 a.m., we get real about the pressure, exhaustion, and survival mode that comes with motherhood.

And of course, we couldn’t resist throwing in a little Love Is Blind parenting hot take because apparently reality TV parenting opinions are unavoidable.

If you’re tired, overstimulated, and just trying to make it through bedtime with your sanity intact… this episode is for you.

Work-life balance? We discuss who came up with this lie?

In Episode 3 of Chasing Sanity, we’re getting real about the pressure to do it all and somehow do it well. Between work, motherhood, relationships, and everything else on our plates, we’re talking about what balance is supposed to look like versus what it actually feels like day to day.

We get into the idea of “having it all,” why balance looks different for everyone, and what it really takes to set boundaries without feeling guilty right after.

Because somehow we’re expected to show up at work, be present at home, take care of everyone else, and still have something left for ourselves.

So what does balance actually look like? And is it even real, or are we all just figuring it out as we go?

In Episode 2 of Chasing Sanity, we’re unpacking cultural differences in a parenting, because not everybody was raised the same, and it shows up in everything, and we do mean EVERYTHING.

We’re getting into what we were told to do (or absolutely not do) while pregnant, the unspoken rules during the newborn stage, and how different cultures approach rest, support, and who gets access to your child.

We grew up with villages…real ones. Family showed up, stepped in, and had opinions, whether you asked or not. Now, boundaries are louder, support can feel quieter, and somehow expecting a little structure makes you seem like you’re doing too much.

So we’re asking the real questions: what are we keeping, what are we side-eyeing, and what are we not negotiating on?

Honest, funny, and a little triggering…the usual.
