This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery. Amy opens up about how public criticism led her to uncover her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, what it’s like to navigate comedy and Hollywood as a mom, and the importance of sharing birth stories without shame. Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions. From career highs to personal challenges, this episode is raw, funny, and packed with insights.

"You probably don't even realize that you're doing the self-care that you are doing." This week, Jill and Linda challenge the Pinterest-perfect version of self-care, trading Instagram filters for real talk about finding moments of peace in the chaos of motherhood. From monster truck shows to firework displays, they explore how true self-care often shows up in unexpected ways – and why the best "secrets" might not be secrets at all. Key Takeaways Seeing Through Your Child's Eyes Watch your kid's face light up at fireworks, and you'll catch a glimpse of what pure joy looks like. Jill and Linda discuss how tapping into your child's natural wonder can reshape your own approach to self-care, making everyday moments feel extraordinary. Reframing Daily Rituals That morning walk you squeeze in? It counts. The five minutes of peace in your parked car? That counts too. Learn how to spot the self-care you're already doing and transform routine tasks into moments that actually fill your cup. The Permission to Keep It Simple Forget the pressure to make self-care Instagram-worthy. Sometimes the most effective self-care looks like sitting in your driveway with a project you love, or finding ten minutes to read between loads of laundry. The magic happens when you stop following someone else's blueprint. Building Trust in Self-Care Conversations Why do we whisper about taking time for ourselves? Jill and Linda dive into the complexity of sharing self-care wins without coming across as boastful, and how to create genuine connections with other moms around this topic. Moving Forward You're probably doing more self-care than you give yourself credit for. Instead of adding another item to your to-do list, try noticing the moments that already bring you peace. What if the secret to better self-care isn't about doing more, but about recognizing and protecting the little pieces of joy you've already carved out? As we approach our 100th episode, we're inviting listeners to share their questions and experiences.

Jill and Linda peel back the layers of what it truly means to be vulnerable while trying to maintain self-care as a mother. From managing household chaos to handling hormonal challenges, they share their personal struggles with the constant pressure to "keep it all together." Their conversation reveals what many moms experience but rarely voice: those moments when everything feels like it's falling apart, and finding time for self-care seems impossible. Hear about: The Mental Load Runs Deep Behind every simple task like changing sheets lies an intricate web of mental labor - from remembering when they were last changed to knowing each family member's preferences. This invisible work often goes unrecognized but significantly impacts a mother's capacity for self-care. Hormonal Cycles Impact Vulnerability Both hosts openly discuss how their menstrual cycles affect their emotional resilience, particularly in high-pressure situations like managing children's behavior in public spaces. Recognizing these patterns helps in planning and managing self-care needs during challenging times. Team Effort Makes a Difference Linda shares a powerful example of how her children pitched in during an overwhelming moment, demonstrating that involving the whole family in household management can create beautiful moments of connection and support. However, one negative comment can quickly unravel that progress. Communication Challenges The discussion highlights how tone and delivery when asking for help can create tension in relationships, affecting both partnerships and parent-child interactions. This communication struggle often leads to mothers taking on more responsibility rather than continuing to ask for support. Your journey through motherhood's vulnerable moments isn't meant to be walked alone. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by the mental load or struggling to find moments for self-care, remember that these experiences are shared by mothers worldwide. Join our community by following us on social media or sharing your own vulnerability story. Tune in next week as we continue these important conversations about motherhood and self-care.

Sometimes the last thing we want to hear when we're frustrated is "try some self-care." In this episode, Jill and Linda tackle the complex relationship between venting and caring for ourselves. Through stories of messy kitchens, interrupted plans, and late-night conversations, they explore how expressing our frustrations can either help or hinder our wellbeing. Key Insights from Our Conversation The Fine Line Between Venting and Complaining There's a distinction between releasing built-up tension and falling into negative thought patterns. The hosts discuss how controlled venting can clear mental space for problem-solving, while endless complaints might reinforce unhelpful beliefs. Creating Safe Spaces From postpartum support groups to late-night talks with partners, having designated spaces to share struggles allows us to process emotions without judgment. These moments of connection often become their own form of self-care. When Emotions Get Stuck Repressed feelings tend to "splatter like slime" in unexpected ways. The hosts share personal experiences of holding things in too long and the importance of finding healthy outlets before reaching breaking point. The Balance of Giving and Receiving Support While many of us readily offer a listening ear to others, we often hesitate to share our own struggles. The conversation explores why we might guard our vulnerabilities and how to build trust within our support networks. Your Invitation to Find Balance Consider how venting fits into your self-care routine. Maybe it's sharing highs and lows with a trusted friend, joining a supportive group, or writing down frustrations before they overflow. Remember that expressing feelings and caring for yourself aren't mutually exclusive – sometimes they're exactly the same thing. Join us in celebrating our upcoming 100th episode, where we'll continue exploring the real, messy, and vital aspects of caring for ourselves as parents. Stay tuned for special events and opportunities to connect with our community. Ready to explore the connection between expressing yourself and self-care?

What would self-care look like if we approached it as we would a new acquaintance? In this episode, Jill and Linda explore this question through their own experiences - from finding unexpected reading moments during summer play to recognizing how we speak differently about self-care to others versus ourselves. Their conversation reveals fresh perspectives on making self-care feel less like an obligation and more like a welcome presence in our lives. Key Insights from Our Conversation Making Space for What Matters Linda shares how she's adapted her reading habits, keeping a book by the door instead of reaching for her phone during outdoor playtime with her children. This small shift shows how self-care can fit naturally into our daily rhythms rather than requiring dramatic lifestyle changes. Speaking Our Self-Care Out Loud When we name our self-care actions - whether at a business, the skate park, or during family time - we normalize it for others and ourselves. Jill describes how her son now understands and can explain to others what self-care means, creating a ripple effect of awareness and permission. Finding Familiarity in the Unfamiliar Sometimes self-care feels strange, like during six days of caring for a sick child. The hosts discuss how these moments, though challenging, can teach us new ways to rest and care for ourselves within difficult circumstances. Changing the Narrative Rather than viewing self-care as a distant concept or an intimidating stranger, we can approach it with curiosity and openness. It might appear as a mirror showing us what we need, or as a wise grandmother figure offering gentle guidance based on lived experience. Your Invitation to Self-Care Consider how you might welcome self-care into your life this week. Perhaps it's bringing a book outside during playtime, speaking openly about your need for rest, or simply acknowledging that sometimes self-care looks different than expected. Remember, like any new relationship, your connection with self-care can grow stronger with time and attention. Join us for our upcoming 100th episode celebration, where we'll be exploring new ways to understand and embrace self-care. Stay tuned for special events and collaborative opportunities as we continue building this community together. Ready to make self-care feel more familiar? Tune in next week as we continue to "unstuck your muck" and explore practical ways to care for ourselves and our families.

In this episode, Jill and Linda talk about what it truly means to lead by example when it comes to self-care. They explore how mothers can embrace and model self-care in ways that ripple through their families and communities. This isn't about perfect Instagram-worthy wellness routines; it's about the messy, real-life ways we take care of ourselves and inspire others along the way. Key Insights from Our Conversation The Power of Accepting Help When Linda encountered a kind stranger at the hairdresser who helped entertain her children, she discovered that sometimes self-care means letting others step into our village – even temporarily. This beautiful moment reminded us that leadership in self-care often starts with being vulnerable enough to accept support when it's offered. Redefining What Self-Care Looks Like Through their candid discussion, Jill and Linda challenge the notion that self-care must be Instagram-perfect or expensive. Sometimes, it's as simple as finding joy in napping after a busy week or feeling the grass beneath your feet while doing mundane tasks. It's about finding what genuinely replenishes your energy, no matter how unconventional it might seem. Modeling Self-Care for the Next Generation The hosts share how their children are learning about self-care through observation. When Jill's son recognizes "daddy's self-care time," it demonstrates how openly discussing and practicing self-care can normalize it for our children, creating a lasting impact on future generations. Creating Change By sharing their struggles and victories, both hosts emphasize how being authentic about our self-care journey can inspire others. Whether it's through random acts of kindness, honest conversations, or simply showing up imperfectly, every small action creates a ripple effect in our communities. Ready to become a self-care leader in your own life? Start by identifying one small way you can model self-care this week – whether it's accepting help from a neighbor, taking that much-needed nap, or having an open conversation with your children about why you need quiet time. Remember, you're not just taking care of yourself; you're showing others that it's okay – and essential – to do the same. Your journey matters, and we'd love to hear how you're leading the way in self-care. Join our conversation and connect with other moms who are navigating this path together. Together, we're building a community where self-care isn't selfish – it's necessary to be the mothers, leaders, and humans we want to be.

Ever notice how your inner voice changes when you're running on empty? In this raw and honest episode, Jill and Linda dive deep into the complex relationship between self-care and the way we talk to ourselves. From sleep-deprived nights to moments of joy, they explore how our internal dialogue shapes our ability to prioritize self-care, especially during those challenging seasons of motherhood. Key Insights from Our Conversation: The Sleep-Care Connection Sleep deprivation doesn't just affect our energy - it fundamentally changes how we speak to ourselves about self-care. We explore the delicate balance between rest and productivity, and why being gentle with ourselves during these periods isn't just nice, it's necessary. The Double Standard of Self-Care We often give our friends permission to rest and recharge, yet struggle to extend that same compassion to ourselves. Learn how to recognize this pattern and start treating yourself with the same kindness you offer others. Making Self-Care Visible Something powerful happens when we name our self-care moments out loud. Whether it's calling a walk in the sunshine "self-care" or celebrating small moments of rest, actively acknowledging these choices helps validate their importance in our lives. The Power of Genuine Dialogue Not all self-care mantras are created equal. We discuss why authentic, believable self-talk matters more than generic affirmations, and how to develop a more honest conversation with yourself about your needs. Your Next Steps You're not alone in this journey of balancing self-care with the demands of motherhood. Whether you're thriving or just surviving today, we invite you to join our growing community of moms who are learning to unstuck their muck together.

Motherhood is full of moving parts, and sometimes, self-care feels like just another thing to add to the list. In this episode, Jill and Linda explore how self-care can fit into the everyday, even when life feels overwhelming. From joyful family moments to recognizing when to slow down, they reflect on the little things that make a difference. In This Episode: How family playtime can unexpectedly refill your cup (even if it’s just a game of laser tag). The hidden ways we practice self-care without even realizing it. Why small habits, like taking a walk or reading, matter more than spa days and retreats. Managing the weight of daily responsibilities without burning out. Letting go of the idea that self-care has to be structured or planned. Self-care doesn’t always look like what we expect. Sometimes, it’s as simple as recognizing the little wins in your day. Like sitting down for five quiet minutes or sharing a laugh with your kids. We would love to hear from you.

In this episode, Jill and Linda are diving into the real benefits of self-care. The kind that gets you through those melty moments and helps you feel more like yourself again. The post-holiday chaos or the daily juggle of motherhood, we chat about why self-care is necessary. Our 5 benefits are not one and done. In fact, we feel that we could have easily listed 50 benefits of self-care (which would have made a very LONG episode). Here's what you can hear about in this episode. Energy Replenishment – How self-care helps you bounce back after big events (or big meltdowns). Building Better Neural Pathways – Small, intentional acts of care can shift your mindset in surprising ways. Less Eggshells – When you care for yourself, you’re less on edge (and so is everyone else). Understanding Yourself Better – Self-care reveals what truly fills your cup (and what doesn’t). Gentler Parenting – A little care for you leads to more patience and compassion for them. We’re all about making self-care realistic, imperfect, and sometimes even messy and we’d love to hear what self-care looks like for you. What benefits have you noticed in your life?

As we wrap up 2024, Jill and Linda reflect on the highs and lows of the season. From sweet family traditions to the sometimes overwhelming need for solitude and balance. This episode concentrates on the real and relatable side of self-care, especially during the holidays when indulgence can sneak in under the guise of relaxation. The joy of family time, but also the need for space and quiet. The delicate balance between guiding little ones and managing their endless energy. Recognizing when self-care crosses into habits that leave us feeling worse, like too much social media scrolling or late-night Netflix binges. Small shifts to replenish energy without the guilt spiral. How to step into 2025 with intention, leaving the less helpful habits behind. As you reflect on your own self-care this season, we invite you to take stock of what truly fills your cup. Sometimes, the best self-care isn’t what’s easy but what nurtures you long-term. Take a moment this week to identify one small way to refresh your self-care routine. Share it with us – we’d love to hear how you’re resetting for the year ahead.

It's Christmas again for the Mucked Up My Self-Care Podcast. In this short special pre-holiday chat, we discuss what self-care means to us during this busy time. The joy of finishing work projects to the stress of unexpected family health issues. Letting go of guilt and embracing small moments of joy and quiet. Why normalizing conversations around rest and well-being can benefit the whole family. Christmas wishes for self-care. Jill and Linda share their hopes for more collective kindness and less internal criticism as we move forward. This episode is a gentle reminder that self-care doesn’t have to be perfect or elaborate.

This week, Jill and Linda dive into the messy, often interrupted journey of building resilience as moms and how self-care plays a pivotal role. From car troubles to toddler birthday cake improvisations, we share the highs and lows of parenting and how embracing imperfection helps us grow stronger. Here’s what we unpack in this episode: How self-care is not just about pampering but building the emotional and physical stamina to handle life's chaos. Sharing the realities of parenting wins and setbacks, including creative cake fixes and resting through sickness. How setting personal incentives can help us prioritize self-care amidst busy schedules, and why boundaries matter for moms and kids alike. Navigating tantrums, hunger-fueled emotions, and how meeting basic needs connects to emotional resilience. Balancing emotional expression with boundaries and learning to parent while reparenting ourselves. Resilience doesn’t mean avoiding emotions but learning to navigate them. Sometimes, having snacks at the ready (for kids and moms alike!) can be a game-changer. Are you navigating the beautiful, messy balance of motherhood and self-care?

The leading question in this episode is a slightly different take. We wonder what happens when we don't practice self-care. Most of us have been there, and Jill and Linda are no exception. While thinking about this question, we talk about several topics including: How we are more likely to engage in distractions and unhealthy behaviours such as scrolling or eating too much ice cream. The energy and bandwidth suck when we don't practice self-care, and on the other side, the energy it can take sometimes to do self-care in the first place. How little things may aggravate you more than they normally do. The example we are setting for our kids when we don't practice self-care. How do our bodies tell us/show us? Sleep and routines, how they affect our attitudes and general outlook when it comes to self-care. We would love to hear from you.

Stress. It manifests physically, impacts decision-making, and leads to reactive behaviors and pushing our boundaries. In this episode Jill and Linda talk about stress from their own perspectives and provide insights into managing stress, the importance of self-care, and invite listeners to reflect on their own experiences with stress. Tune in to hear about: Jill shares the thrill of her first-ever book talk, stepping outside her comfort zone to connect with others and embrace new opportunities. From Halloween meltdowns to calendar overwhelm, we discuss the importance of leaving space to breathe and regroup amidst life’s demands. Learn how stress can test or strengthen your boundaries and how setting realistic expectations helps reduce unnecessary pressure. Stress affects more than your mood—it impacts your physical health. Recognizing the signs, from foggy thinking to stress pimples, is key to holistic self-care. Discover how sudden stress reactions can confuse loved ones and how open communication fosters understanding and support. Your well-being matters just as much as everyone else’s. Stress and self-care are part of the motherhood journey, and this episode invites you to reflect on your own experiences. What boundaries do you need to strengthen, and how can you better tune into your body's needs? We would love to hear from you.

In this episode, we continue our discussion around the question - why is self-care so hard? This is part two, after episode one of last week, in which Jill and Linda found there was actually quite a lot to talk about when it comes to the hard side of self-care. Afterall, self-care isn't meant to be 'hard', is it? Hear all about topics such as: Hard things in parallel with good things, such as allergies and encouragement and sleeplessness and arcade games. Constant interruptions and noise around us. Waiting for the 'right' time and for things to be perfect. Self-care bandwidth (or lack of) Social media making self-care look easier than it actually is and also only showing the self-care activity itself and not the logistics of making it happen and the 'hard' bits behind the scenes. Expectations. One word with big associations and big conversations. Regulation of emotions and feeling like me are insane and crazy. Talking ourselves into thinking that it is hard and feeling guilty if it doesn't happen. Is self-care really as hard as we make it out to be? We think both yes and no in answer to this question. What about you? We would love to hear from you. Find find Jill on Instagram @mamaoutspoken and https://www.mamaoutspoken.com/ and Linda @hellolindabonney or https://www.lindabonney.com .…
Why can self-care be so difficult to maintain? Should it really be this hard? Jill and Linda still wonder about these questions, even after 82 episodes of talking openly about these questions. Today's episode is no different, as we dive into the challenges and hard side of self-care. Take a listen as we chat about: All the different things we need to do before we can do something. The self-talk about how hard it is and how much this can cause a delay. Freedom to get up and go do something for ourselves, the changes and shifts that happen as mothers in this regard and for our self-care. Competing priorities and needs. Especially when we are at the stage where we are feeling like it is hard to manage and need to get some self-care time. Making self-care second nature and more of a habit, rather than another thing to remember. We hope this conversation encourages you to remember that self-care isn't always easy and even small acts of self-care can make a big difference. We look forward to joining you for part two next week! We would love to hear from you.
