Flashback Episode of The Dadlands Podcast with Jamie Kaler
This Week's Guests: Jen and Kristen from I Mom So Hard

Ever found yourself reminiscing about the comical evolution of your marriage, from the honeymoon phase to the 'anything-goes' comfort zone? We've all been there, and so have our guests, the comedic duo Kristen Hensley and Jen Smedley from I Mom So Hard. Together, we share a barrel of laughs over the quirks of marriage, the identity shifts post-name change, and the celebrity parallels that come with it. Plus, we throw in a slice of husband appreciation - because, let's face it, they're part of the hilarity that makes our family lives the rollercoaster rides we cherish.

Parenting isn't for the faint of heart, and our conversation proves just that, diving into the cringe-worthy yet endearing mishaps that leave us with a treasure trove of anecdotes. From the perils of birthday party disasters – think decapitated Elmo cakes and piñatas without candy – to the poignancy of ditching a child's comfort object, we uncover the shared guilt and pressures that come with the territory. But it's not all chaos; we find camaraderie in the humor and the unexpected, therapy-worthy memories that bond us closer as a community of parents just trying to do our best.

Balancing work, anxiety, and family life is like trying to juggle while riding a unicycle – a feat we explore with candor and humor. I delve into the life lessons learned during school drives, the parenting tactics that hit or miss, and the roller-skate nostalgia that makes us pine for the simpler days. Amid tales of impressionable kids and the creative pursuits that keep us sane, this episode is a celebration of the motherhood journey, the depth of friendship, and the creative flame that burns through the mess of daily life. Kristen and Jen join me in this laughter-filled session, creating a space where we can all appreciate the beauty in the bedlam.

Grab yourself a drink, and join us!
