What happens when the spark feels harder to find, the mental load never stops, and motherhood seems to swallow every part of who you used to be?

In this honest and refreshing conversation, we sit down with certified sex therapist, author, and mom of three, Caroline Hood, to talk about the topics many women think about but rarely say out loud.

From desire in long term relationships and the impact of resentment on intimacy to body image, aging, and reclaiming your sense of self, Caroline shares powerful insights on what it really takes to stay connected to yourself and your partner through the demands of adulthood.
We also dive into why so many women are turning to romantasy, how pleasure can become an act of empowerment, and why desire doesn't have to disappear just because life gets busy.

Whether you're married, partnered, navigating motherhood, or simply longing to feel more like yourself again, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, understood, and inspired to reclaim the parts of yourself that deserve attention too.

If you've ever wondered where your desire went, struggled with the weight of the mental load, or felt disconnected from the woman you once were, this episode is for you.

Trust us, you won't want to miss this one.

This episode is extra special because Chrissy made the trip to Idaho for some vacation time and to spend time together and for the first time ever, we got to record in person!

There was something so fun and meaningful about sitting in the same room, sharing a mic, and having conversations face-to-face instead of through a screen. We laughed, caught up, and got to experience the energy of recording together in a whole new way.

On top of that, we're sharing an exciting new release that we can't wait for you to hear about. This episode is packed with connection, behind-the-scenes moments, and a glimpse into what's next.

Thanks for joining us for this memorable episode, we're so excited to share it with you!

In this episode we chat with Kari Castro is a former teacher, toddler mom, and founder of EduPlay, a platform helping overwhelmed moms build calmer homes through independent play and screen-free connection. After spending over a decade in the classroom, Kari saw firsthand what happens when children enter school without foundational skills like problem solving, focus, creativity, and resilience. That experience sparked her passion for helping parents build those skills early through everyday play and connection.

Through her content, courses, and honest conversations online, Kari helps moms step away from the pressure to constantly entertain, overstimulate, and “do it all,” while raising capable, confident children who can play independently and thrive without relying on screens.

Her approach combines teacher expertise with real-life motherhood, giving parents practical tools that actually work in busy homes without adding more overwhelm to their plate. Want to connect with Kari and learn more about her work?

We all want to be the calm, emotionally regulated mom… until you’re exhausted, overstimulated, touched out, running on cold coffee, and your teenager just hit you with the eye roll of the century. 😅

In this episode, we’re talking about the real side of gentle parenting — the mom rage, the guilt after snapping, nervous system overload, and the pressure to stay calm all the time. Whether you’re parenting toddlers, teenagers, or both at once, this is the honest conversation moms actually need.

Because believing in gentle parenting doesn’t mean parenting always feels gentle.

Sleepovers used to feel simple… until we became parents. In this episode, we’re talking about the modern-day debate around sleepovers — the anxiety, the safety concerns, the pressure from kids, and the guilt parents sometimes feel for saying no. We’re diving into how parenting has changed, why so many parents feel more cautious now, and how to navigate conversations around boundaries, trust, peer pressure, social media, and keeping kids safe without parenting from fear. We’re also talking about the emotional side of it all: wanting your kids to have fun childhood memories while also listening to your gut as a parent. Whether your answer is always yes, always no, or “it depends,” this conversation is honest, respectful, and incredibly relatable for today’s parents.
