Meltdowns in the Wild

Motherhood changes everything, but who are you in the middle of it all? In this episode, we explore the journey of rediscovering yourself, embracing the messy moments, and carving out your own identity while raising little humans.

You can love your friends and still feel disconnected from them. This episode dives into the tension of staying close when your lives look nothing alike anymore. From baby schedules and burnout to late nights and spontaneous plans, we talk about how different seasons can quietly strain even the strongest friendships. We get honest about resentment, FOMO, unmet expectations, and how to communicate without making it weird. Plus, what healthy friendship actually looks like when you’re not in the same chapter of life.

In this episode, Brittany and Kelsey dive into the messy, emotional reality of toddler meltdowns in public spaces. We share real-life stories, how we personally handle those moments, and why tantrums aren’t something to fear or “fix”, they’re actually a normal (and even healthy) part of childhood development. From letting go of the embarrassment to understanding what your child is really communicating, this episode is all about shifting perspective, finding grace, and surviving the chaos with confidence.

Breastfeeding can be beautiful, messy, exhausting, empowering — and everything in between. In this episode, we’re getting real about what breastfeeding actually looks like behind the highlight reel. From latching struggles and supply worries to middle-of-the-night feeds and emotional ups and downs, we’re sharing honest experiences, practical tips, and a whole lot of encouragement for new and expecting parents. Whether you’re nursing, pumping, combo-feeding, or just preparing for what’s ahead, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone — and you’re doing an amazing job.

Going from one kid to two changes everything, and not always in the ways people warn you about. In this episode, we unpack the realities no one talks about: the emotional shift, the logistics shock, and the unexpected moments that make it all worth it.

Creating a nursery for your baby isn’t quite the same when you’ve done this before. In this episode, we explore how to refresh your space for a new little one — reusing what works, updating what doesn’t, and designing a nursery that balances beauty, function, and real-life parenting.

In this episode of Cradle to Chaos, we’re diving into our own (sometimes messy, sometimes hilarious) experiences with baby-led weaning and introducing solids. From the first foods we tried to the surprises, nerves, and “did anyone else’s baby do that?” moments along the way, we’re keeping it real about what this stage actually looks like. We’re not experts, just two moms sharing what worked, what didn’t, and everything we learned in the chaos of those first bites. Whether you’re starting solids soon or already in the thick of it, you’ll definitely feel seen.

In this episode, we dive into what it’s really like to travel without kids — from the guilt and the freedom to how to make the most of your time away while still missing your little ones.

In this episode, we talk about the chaos and beauty of balancing life with two kids — finding rhythm in the mess, giving yourself grace, and learning to enjoy the little moments that make it all worth it.

After a little break, the chaos is back! In this episode, Brittany and Kelsey catch up on life since Brittany welcomed her baby girl, Hadley, and share what it’s really been like adjusting to motherhood with 2. From sleepless nights and unexpected emotions to the moments that make it all worth it, the two get candid about the realities of life with a newborn and a toddler—and the joy of finding your rhythm again (sort of). Tune in for honest reflections, plenty of laughs, and that familiar Cradle to Chaos mix of heart and humor.
