What Every Mom Needs to Hear Today

This is the episode every mom—and anyone who loves a mom—needs to hear.

In this raw, honest, and hilarious episode, Mel sits down with her friend Jessie, who is weeks away from giving birth to her first child. What unfolds is the kind of real talk you rarely hear about motherhood.

Whether you're dreaming of becoming a parent, knee-deep in diapers, juggling teenage drama, or reflecting on your grown-up kids, this episode will meet you exactly where you are. It’s also a powerful reflection on your relationship with your own mom.

Mel—26 years into parenting—keeps it real with hard-earned wisdom, regrets, and the one piece of advice she wishes someone had told her sooner.

If you've ever felt like you're not doing enough, questioned every decision, or worried you're getting it all wrong... you're not alone. And you need to hear this.

This isn’t a sugar-coated take on parenting. It’s real, relatable, and filled with laugh-out-loud moments and deeply moving insights.

Whether you’re a new mom, a seasoned pro, or reflecting on your own childhood, this episode will make you feel seen, understood, and a whole lot better about the job you’re doing.

This is also one to share—with your mom, your sister, your daughter, your mother-in-law, your friends. Especially as Mother’s Day approaches, this episode is a gift.
