Moms Interrupted

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the multi-billion-dollar industry built on maternal insecurity. From prenatals to formula to postpartum “bounce back” programs, we unpack how marketing to moms is often less about evidence and more about emotion.We talk about the history of formula advertising, the WHO Code of Marketing Breastmilk Substitutes, and why many of the tactics we see every day are actually illegal in other countries. We dig into GLP-1 and weight-loss marketing aimed at postpartum women, “datafied parenting,” influencer culture, and how fear-based messaging convinces moms they’re doing it wrong unless they buy the right product.Most importantly, we talk about how women are increasingly being marketed to by other women and how “helping moms” has quietly turned into a very profitable business model.Raise your hand if you've ever been personally victimized, targeted, manipulated by predatory marketing.XX,Natasha

Pregnancy is a marathon, not a sprint—and the third trimester can feel like the longest mile. In this episode, we get real about the final stretch of pregnancy: the insomnia, the discomfort, the emotional rollercoaster, and the constant question of “how do people actually enjoy this?!” We talk about how boy and girl pregnancies can feel totally different, navigating changing symptoms, and learning to listen to your intuition when something doesn’t feel right. From cervical checks to switching providers, we dive into what good care should look like—and why it’s completely okay to shop around for a care team that truly supports you. We also get honest about the mental side of pregnancy: the weirdness of your body not fully feeling like your own, the pressure to “prepare for everything,” and the overwhelm of buying way too much stuff. Plus, practical topics like harvesting colostrum, meal prepping for postpartum, and what’s actually helpful versus just more noise. And of course, we debate the ultimate pregnancy question: what’s worse—first trimester nausea or third trimester discomfort? If you’re in the thick of it (or just trying to survive it all), this episode is for you. 💛 XX, Natasha & Taylor

Potty training is the milestone that makes you question everything: your patience, your flooring choices, and why your kid suddenly has unlimited access to the toilet (and your bronzer 😭).In this episode, we talk about how we’re approaching potty training in real life — the wins, the chaos, the “three-day method” pressure, and why we think the whole “readiness” conversation has gotten wildly overcomplicated. We get into why so many parents feel set up to fail, what helped us chill out, how long it actually takes, and why overnight potty training is a totally separate beast.We cover:One nap vs two naps (and why “24-hour sleep” matters more than the schedule)The real first steps of potty training (without the perfectionism)Underwear too early = confusing (sometimes)Why “3 days” is often a lie (and what to expect instead)Accidents in public, beach pee, and normalizing the chaosDiaper industry, marketing, and why potty training age has changedOvernights + naps: when to keep the diaper and why it’s normalIf you’re in the thick of it, about to start, or spiraling because your kid didn’t follow the internet playbook — this one’s for you. No shame, no pressure… and probably a reminder to lock up your makeup.XX,Natasha & Taylor

Weaning from breastfeeding is one of those transitions no one really prepares you for — emotionally, hormonally, or practically.In this episode, we’re talking honestly about what it’s actually like to stop breastfeeding: the unexpected hormone crash, the brain fog and mood swings, the identity shift, and why even when you’re ready to be done, it can still hit way harder than you expect.We also break down some of the biggest weaning myths, including:Why starting solids doesn’t automatically mean less breastfeedingWhy “baby-led weaning” is a confusing nameWhether your toddler really needs cow’s milkAnd why there is no “right” order or perfect plan for dropping feedsWe share our own very real weaning stories, the hurdles, what we wish we had known sooner, and how to think about weaning in a way that’s actually sustainable and supportive — for both you and your baby.If you’re thinking about weaning, in the middle of it, or still months away but already anxious about it, this episode will make you feel less alone and a lot more normal.🎧 Listen now and don’t forget to follow Moms Interrupted for more honest conversations about motherhood, matrescence, and everything in between.
