TRIGGER WARNING FOR THIS EPISODE: Talk of suicidal ideation.

Happy World Mental Health Day, y’all. Instagram: @thecatmompodcast, email: [email protected], Patreon: Patreon.com/thecatmompodcast

** TRIGGER WARNING: we do discuss miscarriage in depth in this episode ** Michelle discusses being an entrepreneur while also being a mom, her miscarriage and the SOHU (state of her uterus), dealing with medical bs, Maggie is basically just mad at the patriarchy, and they discuss the healing and the therapy of being able to discuss big things with other women and moms.

Maggie chats with IRL friend Michelle about being pregnant during COVID, her son’s diagnosis of AMC, moving while in labour, and really just the shit that she’s been through the past few years. It’s a lot- so much that we had to make it a two parter! We drank too much wine and chatted about so much. Part two will be out next week.

Listener questions are answered by the Catmoms! Maggie has trouble giving private Catmoms good aliases that aren’t old lady names, we talk about balance, getting time alone, finding friends who are also moms and Michelle utters the best quote ever. We hit 600 listens and Maggie is stoked.

A man has entered the chat, I repeat A MAN HAS ENTERED THE CHAT. Catdad Ryan comes on and discusses how the Catmoms have affected his life, being a girl dad, what parenthood has taught him, advice for new dads and we also discuss Yellowjackets and why everyone needs their own shed to call their own.

Maggie discusses the shit that no one tells you before you have a baby. Maggie is off her ADHD meds and apparently wants to slap some rude people. She’s giving you the low down on what really happens after you give birth and how people can be all up in your business (and your vagina). So strap in and get ready to hear about the shit no one tells you about, but Maggie and the Catmoms will. Find us on Instagram @TheCatmomPodcast.
