Send us Fan Mail We’re doing something a little different today. Before we begin bringing real moms onto the podcast soon, we wanted to take a moment to pause and let you get to know us a little more—beyond the conversations we’ve been having here. In this episode, we’re sharing the stories behind why this space exists. Not the polished versions—but the real moments in motherhood that felt heavier than we expected, the mental load we didn’t see coming, and how those experiences sh...

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.
