Anne and Christine are going on a short (seasonal) break, but they will be back in full swing mid Jan 2025. Thank you sooooo much, from the bottom of our deeeeeeep hearts, for all the listens, the contributions, the giggles, and the love. So, to leave you wanting more, here is a short episode full of bloopers, because WHO.... does not like a good old blooper.

Mom Brain - It is both a superpower and a burden. The number of things a mom thinks about, and the amount of planning that has to go into everything we do (for our families, not for ourselves), will blow your mind!

Whether you have one or two kids... Whether they have a massive age gap or not, motherhood is hard. And sometimes it's important to acknowledge that, and just laugh it off with a friend.

What are your "17 Diapers" confessions? We're pretty sure, whatever it is, it's normal!

In this episode, Anne and Christine welcome their very first guest! Zell is a single mom to a 10 year old boy, and they ask her what single moms would like the world to understand about single moms.

This is definitely one of the biggest secrets moms keep, hopefully dads as well, but definitely moms. Kids are a blessing, and we love them to the moon and back, but they change the dynamic of a marriage, and it's OK to wonder, worry, and think about it.

In most cases, moms are the default parent... What is a default parent? Well... It means you are the preselected primary caregiver. A default parent is the one responsible their child(rens) emotional, logistical, and practical needs.

All moms have this idea of what their kids will be like, be allowed to do, and not before they have them. And then.... Reality strikes. So, this week Anne and Christine chat about "The mom I would have been, before I had kids"

Oh come on! All moms win that 'mom of the year' award every now and again! We all fail miserably while raising our offspring, but... it's ok!

The world can be a scary place, even more so when you are responsible for a tiny human that cannot think for themselves yet. This week, Anne and Christine chat about their personal mom fears.

Kids... They are curious little creatures, and they all do things that simply make no sense. Why will they need you the second you sit down? Why do they always have to go nr 2, while you're in the middle of the shop? Anne and Christine have made peace with the fact, they moms will probably never know, but in this episode, they have a good giggle about these universal truths that make no sense.

Have you ever doubted whether you should be your child's mom? In this episode, Anne and Christine discuss feeling inadequate as moms, not being the right mom for their kids, and wondering whether they are actually enough as moms. It's called Mom Doubt, and if you've felt the same way - you are not alone.

The Secret Life of Motherhood has received so much positive support, feedback, and interaction since launching 10 weeks ago. So, for Episode 10, we thought we’d do a little something different. If you have missed any of our episodes, sit back, open that packet of wine... gums, and enjoy a few of our favourite moments from each episode to date.

Teaching kids gratitude has to be one of the hardest parts of Motherhood, especially when the little ones come with such big attitudes. Anne and Christine do not have the answers to this dilemma, but they do know they are NOT alone in trying to navigate this very complicated scenario.

When we were kids there was a whole lot of stuff we HAD to do, and stuff we NEVER did. Like... Finishing our food, all of it, no matter how much was on our plate, whether we liked it or not. But how do we feel about these rules today, and if we forfeit them, are we teaching our children bad habits?

When we become moms, it feels like we completely lose who we were before. It is one of the deepest, darkest, most secret parts of motherhood. This week, Anne and Christine decipher, or try to at least, who we are outside of moms.

Now that we've established that all moms find it hard to make new mom friends (Go listen to Making Mom Friends Part 1, if you haven't already), let's explore a few ways in which you can put yourself out there, so to speak. In this episode, Anne and Christine will entertain you with 10 easy steps to follow, in making new mom friends.

Wow... as a mom, making new mom friends is one of the hardest things to do. Why? Judgement. We fear we are being judged by other moms. But why? In this episode, Anne and Christine delve into the fear of being judged by other moms, and they discuss why it's probably not real.

While we constantly complain, worry, and fuss over how our kids react, interact and behave, truth be told, our kids do make us proud all the time. And it's when we get to be proud of their characters, and not necessarily accomplishments that our hearts burst!

Most moms can play nice during difficult situations. It's when you touch our kids though, that you unlock mamabear mode... It's a dangerous mode, because mama will go that extra mile to protect what's hers!

Momguilt... Show us a mom who has never experienced it, and we'll show you a LYER! From feeling guilty about what their kids eat, to forgetting to pick them up, to forgetting to buy them new underwear. In this episode, Anne and Christine, plus a secret mom guest, spill the beans on what they've experienced momguilt over.

Anne and Christine decided to have a little bit of fun in studio, in the buildup of the launch of The Secret Life Of Motherhood. Girls do just want to have a bit of fun, right?

In the very first episode of The Secret Life Of Motherhood, Anne and Christine delve into the topic of 'Is This Normal'. In short... yes, everything is normal; even crazy mornings where your kids act like they've never been through the routine of getting up, dressed, and ready for school.
