Episode 07 - If Motherhood Had A Yelp Review

Author: Kate and Jenn March 12, 2026 Duration: 32:27
Send us Fan Mail If motherhood had a Yelp page… we’d have a few things to say. In this episode of Messy Minded Mama, we rate different parts of motherhood like they’re businesses being reviewed online — school drop-off, sleep, marriage after kids, and more. Because honestly? Motherhood might deserve five stars for love, but there are definitely some notes in the review.

Ever feel like you're trying to balance a dozen spinning plates while walking through a fog? You're not alone. Messy Minded Mama is that candid, deep-breath conversation you need, hosted by Kate and Jenn, who navigate the same daily chaos as you-except they're also mental health therapists. This podcast digs into the real, unvarnished experience of parenting, where questions about kids' development, family dynamics, and your own mental well-being collide with the need to maybe, just maybe, find a moment for your own health and fitness. Forget perfect Instagram squares; here, the focus is on the "messy middle," that space between the ideal and the reality where most of us actually live. Each episode feels like a chat with insightful friends who get it, blending professional perspective with personal empathy. You'll hear honest talk about anxiety, setting boundaries, keeping a family connected, and navigating guilt without letting it steer the ship. It’s a resource for anyone who wants to parent with more intention and less burnout, understanding that caring for your mind is as crucial as caring for everyone else. Tune in for a genuine, supportive take on making it all work, even when it feels like it’s all falling apart.
