Welcome to Mom-ish After Dark — where we say the quiet parts out loud and the loud parts… even louder. We’re talking motherhood, marriage, friendships, and the kind of hospital chaos that leaves you questioning your career, your sanity, and your husband’s ability to load a dishwasher correctly. If you’ve ever fantasized about running away to Target alone, considered faking a mild illness for a break, or thought “there’s no way this is my life”… congratulations, you’re one of us. Grab a drink, hide from your responsibilities, and press play. We won’t judge. We’re doing the same thing.

  • Stomach Bugs, Dog Chaos, and Rage Baiting Men
    Jun 29 2026

    Something about parenting turns the smallest moment into a full-blown story. We start with the kind of weekend a lot of families know too well: a stomach bug making the rounds, germs everywhere, and the oddly specific chaos of trying to keep one kid healthy while someone else is violently sick. From there, we get into everyday “mom confessions” like pet food theft, high chair messes, and the travel-with-a-baby reality nobody can truly prep you for including the hard lesson that swim diapers do what they do and absolutely do not do what you wish they did.

    Then we take a sharp left into pop culture, because sometimes a documentary or podcast grabs your brain and won’t let go. We talk about the Love Trapped podcast and how manipulation, false claims, and court drama can leave you furious in your car. We also dig into Netflix’s Maternal Instinct and the terrifying truth behind fetal abduction, plus what it’s like to realize a “rare” crime is still very real. It’s messy, emotional, and the kind of conversation that makes you want to text every friend you have.

    Work stress ties it all together. We unpack on-call anxiety, night shift burnout, and the way overstimulation follows you home when you’re a nurse and a parent. We also get honest about mom guilt, postpartum body changes, and why confidence can weirdly grow in your 30s even when life feels louder than ever.

  • Long Poops, Lawn Mowing & Dad Feelings
    Jun 21 2026

    Father’s Day felt like the perfect excuse to hand the microphones to the dads in our lives, and they did not hold back. We sit down with Adam, Dylan, and Gil for a raw, funny, and unexpectedly emotional talk about modern fatherhood, starting with the exact moment each of them realized, “Oh, I’m actually going to be a dad.” It’s the kind of parenting conversation that sounds like your group chat, but hits like real life when the jokes fade for a second.

    We get into the dad version of mom guilt: staying late at work when you know you could be home, sleeping in when your partner is already up, even asking permission to take a shower because you hate feeling like you’re tapping out. From there we talk about what we hope our kids remember most: being present, being steady, and being the parent they can come to whether they’re proud of themselves or scared to admit they messed up. If you care about millennial dads, hands-on parenting, and building a family culture where kids feel safe, this one lands.

    Then we go deeper on girl dad vs boy dad expectations and what it means to raise resilient kids without teaching them to bury everything. We talk toughness, vulnerability, and why “the days are long but the years are short” isn’t just a quote, it’s a warning not to blink. You’ll also hear the real stuff couples deal with after kids: pet peeves, morning stress, household habits, and the tiny fights that aren’t about the kids, but definitely affect the home.

    If you laughed, related, or felt seen, subscribe, share this with a parent friend, and leave a review so more moms and dads can find Momish. What’s one piece of advice you’d give a new dad today?

  • Backyard Botox By Gabi
    Jun 17 2026

    The conversation starts with a ridiculous headline worthy of a group chat “the bush is making a comeback” and somehow turns into a very real look at what it means to be a mom in your 30s trying to keep up with beauty trends, self-care, and the mental load. We talk laser hair removal, hair appointments, nail expectations, and why paying for a service sometimes means speaking up even when it’s awkward. Then we slide into the “treat yourself” pipeline: pedicures, budgeting for maintenance, and the not-so-hypothetical idea of Botox, including what can go wrong if you don’t respect anatomy.

    From there, we get honest about the thoughts that sneak in when you’re tired and you know too much especially health anxiety. We laugh about childhood fears like quicksand and tornadoes, but we also talk about the scary stuff that’s not funny when you’ve seen it up close in healthcare. It’s that exact Momish mix of humor and reality: we can be joking one minute and deeply reflective the next because that’s what modern motherhood feels like.

    The heart of the episode is the mom confessions and the parenting dilemmas nobody solves for you. Kids eating dog food, leaving the house with two kids, the gas station question, and how “just bring them” ignores the two-hour prep it takes to do anything. We also share the bittersweet emotions of watching babies grow up, navigating discipline and biting, and finally winding down with skincare in your 30s, hormonal acne, rebuilding your skin barrier, and the one thing we’ll always preach: daily SPF. If you laughed, cringed, or felt seen, subscribe, share the episode with a mom friend, and leave a review so more people can find us.
