Catie and Danielle kick things off celebrating a major win: the crying drop-offs are officially over (mostly). From there it's a full download on summer survival — ditching the color-coded camp spreadsheet, surviving soccer-night meltdowns, and a therapy confession about laying out matching outfits (still counts as controlling, apparently).
They talk about what a "90's summer" really means for today's overscheduled, overtracked, overwatched kids, plus the ongoing bribery campaign to survive one more day before Jack gets his pet fish. Spoiler: the fish will fight the mirror and lose, and everyone's doing a better job than they think.

Maternity leave shouldn't feel like a second full-time job, but here we are. This week Catie and Danielle sit down with Akiko Thayer, founder of Maternity Leave 411 and certified leave management specialist, to break down what nobody tells you about FMLA, state leave laws, and getting paid while you're out. Akiko got into this work after her own employer botched her leave by eight weeks, and she's been fighting for parents ever since.
We cover when to tell your employer you're pregnant, the difference between job protection and paid benefits (they are NOT the same thing), why HR usually doesn't know as much as you think, what dads and partners are actually entitled to, and why "maternity leave" isn't even a real legal term. Plus: should you trust ChatGPT with this stuff? Akiko gives it to us straight.
If you're pregnant, planning to be, or just want to know your rights before you need them, this one's required listening.

This week Catie and Danielle are catching up after a whirlwind stretch of guest episodes — trading summer camp chaos, girls' trip stories, and real talk on the friendships that carry you through motherhood.
Danielle recaps her 20-years-strong girls' trip to Islamorada with her "LST" crew — boat days, a stray dog named Murph, and the now-infamous "Dick Pick David." The two dig into what it actually takes to keep friendships alive through decades of life changes — breakups, weddings, kids, moves — and why showing up for each other (not proximity) is what makes it stick.
Then Catie gets real about a hard week: Jack's tearful camp drop-offs, the mental load of the transition from meetings to mom-mode, and finding relief in a Diet Coke and a good cry with a friend. Plus: Calvin gives up his binky (unprompted), Catie's new gig as an assistant soccer coach tests her control issues, and both moms share how they're squeezing the most out of summer before school prep creeps back in.
A lighter, more personal one this week — grab your coffee (or Diet Coke) and join the village.

Everyone panics about the ABCs. Brittany Brady — school social worker turned founder of Bright Starts Co. — is here to tell you to put the Target workbook down.
This week we get into what kindergarten readiness actually means (spoiler: it's emotional regulation, independence, and grit, not reading at five), why preschool doesn't automatically guarantee a smooth transition, and how to survive the drop-off meltdown without crying in your car. Brittany breaks down routines vs. "rhythms," the kissing-hand goodbye ritual, prepping kids for the bus, and her 5-minute night-before reset that working moms swear by. Plus: the one thing she wants every guilt-ridden millennial perfectionist mom to stop stressing about.
Real talk, real chaos (melting popsicles included), and a roadmap to send your kid in confident.

No guest, no agenda — just us yapping. This week Catie and Danielle are back for a pure catch-up episode and honestly? We had a lot to say.
Danielle is mid-travel chaos, running on zero clean clothes and a dream, while Catie is trying to figure out how to top the Yeti Camino her husband got her for Mother's Day without buying another golf club set. We get into Father's Day gift ideas that actually land, the white button down that had high hopes and let us both down, and why our second kids are simply built different.
Plus — Jack's kindergarten graduation had us emotional, Calvin sat through a five-vial blood draw without blinking, and Danielle's son found out his mom also goes to therapy. Turns out all the cool kids are a little messed up.

Come catch up on life with us. For those of you that are new here, welcome. We're 2 working moms who have full time 9-5 jobs. We work remote, mostly. We also run this full time and are business partners.
Catie's kids are 3 & 4Danielle's kids are 3 & 7
Let's get into this weeks therapy session.
Catie's three-year-old is basically blind (fine, astigmatisms, but same energy), Calvin showed up to the office in mom's sunglasses watching Peppa Pig during a live meeting, and somehow rainbow glasses are now a hill we're willing to die on. Meanwhile Danielle solo-pilgrimaged to a BTS concert in Vegas, made three new best friends in the parking lot, and is already planning her Stray Kids festival outfit down to the lightstick.
We also solve the great debate: summer bucket list vs. themed activity days, why $590 art camp is a hard no, and how drop-off logistics are genuinely a second full-time job nobody hired us for.
Chaotic. Unfiltered. Basically free therapy.

In this episode of From 9 to Mom, we’re diving into a topic that’s suddenly everywhere: plastics, microplastics, “clean living,” and the overwhelming pressure moms feel to somehow detox their entire homes overnight. 😵💫
We’re joined by Jessica Franklin, busy mom, health coach, and host of The Live Lightly Podcast, to break down what actually matters when it comes to plastics, toxins, and low-tox living… without spiraling into fear or throwing out every sippy cup you own tomorrow.
From plastic cutting boards and kids’ lunch gear to hidden plastics in bedding, clothing, and everyday products, Jessica helps us understand where these exposures are really coming from, what the science says about microplastics and hormone disruption, and how moms can make practical swaps without adding another full-time job to the mental load.
We also talk about:
• The truth behind “BPA-free” labels
• Why plastic cutting boards became everyone’s villain origin story
• The hidden plastics most families never think about
• Affordable, realistic swaps that actually make sense
• How to avoid fear-based wellness marketing
• The balance between awareness and overwhelmIf you’ve watched the documentaries, fallen down a TikTok rabbit hole, or stood in Target staring at “eco-friendly” labels wondering what any of it means… this episode is for you.
Because healthy living shouldn’t require a chemistry degree, a full pantry relabel, or losing your sanity in aisle 12. 💛

This week on From 9 to Mom, we’re diving into the beautiful, chaotic, emotionally loaded glitter tornado that is Mother’s Day. 🌷
From the pressure of making the day “perfect” to the reality of May-sember schedules, sports, school events, and trying to enjoy one uninterrupted hot coffee, we’re talking about what moms actually want for Mother’s Day.
We get honest about expectations vs. reality, gift giving fails and wins, mom guilt, and why sometimes the best gift isn’t flowers or jewelry... it’s being acknowledged without having to delegate your own celebration. 😅 We also share the moments and memories that matter most, how motherhood shifts friendships and family dynamics, and why celebrating together can make the chaos feel a little sweeter.

Spoiler: you're probably not actually taking one.
Catie and Danielle are getting real about what happened to the lunch break. Remember when it meant leaving the office, grabbing food, maybe sneaking a 5-minute nap in your car? Yeah... those days are gone. Now it's "let me quickly sign the kids up for soccer, reschedule that dentist appointment, and throw in a load of laundry" — and somehow that counts as a break.
This week they dig into how working from home completely rewired the lunch hour, why commuting actually had some unexpected perks for productivity, and how support systems (or the lack of one) make or break your ability to catch your breath mid-day.
Because here's the truth: if you're a working mom, you're not just on your lunch break — you're on everyone's lunch break.
This one's your permission slip to actually eat something and sit down for 12 consecutive minutes. You've earned it.

Outsourcing isn’t lazy… it’s survival with a strategy 😅
In this episode, we’re getting real about what it actually looks like to “do it all” and why more moms are deciding… yeah, no thanks. From the evolution of online grocery shopping (because dragging kids through a store deserves hazard pay) to hiring help and reclaiming your time, we’re breaking down the mental load of motherhood and what happens when you finally start letting some of it go.
We talk about the guilt, the judgment, and the very real math behind outsourcing. Because somehow spending money to save your sanity requires a full-blown internal TED Talk. We also get into balancing packed family schedules, meal prep chaos, and how AI is quietly becoming the assistant we didn’t know we needed.
This episode is your permission slip to stop doing everything the hard way. You don’t have to earn your exhaustion.

In this episode of From 9 to Mom, we’re talking all things picky eaters, kids nutrition, and the daily chaos of family mealtime. From navigating sudden food preferences to dealing with food allergies and school lunches, we’re sharing our real-life experiences trying to keep our kids fed without turning dinner into a full-blown battle.
We get into picky eating behaviors, how kids always want what you’re eating (until they don’t), and the struggle of balancing healthy meals with what they’ll actually touch. Plus, we’re sharing practical tips for busy moms on meal prep, finding healthy alternatives, and managing ever-changing food phases.
If you’re dealing with picky eaters, trying to build healthy eating habits, or just looking for realistic parenting tips around food… this episode will make you feel seen.

Post-bedtime, slightly delirious, and joined by a special guest (hi Ryan 👋), this episode of From 9 to Mom is all about the things we really wish someone had told us before kids.
From the sensory overload of unsolicited advice during pregnancy to the survival mode of newborn life, we’re diving into the moments that caught us off guard, the mistakes we definitely made, and the lessons we only learned the hard way. We’re talking sleep deprivation fights that “don’t count,” splitting responsibilities, second kid confidence vs. first kid panic, and why literally no one cares if your baby cries in public.
We also get into how our relationship has evolved through it all, the pressure we put on ourselves (hi, potty training 🙃), and the things we’d absolutely do differently if we could go back. Spoiler: you’re never as unprepared as you feel… but also, you kind of are, and that’s normal.
It’s honest, a little chaotic, and exactly what happens when you hit record after bedtime and just start talking.
If you’ve ever thought, “wait… are we doing this right?”—this one’s for you.

In this episode of From 9 to Mom, we’re diving into the world of sports moms—aka the unpaid Uber drivers, sideline snack coordinators, and professional schedule jugglers of childhood. From practices smack in the middle of your workday to somehow managing multiple kids with completely different interests, we’re talking through what it actually looks like to keep it all together (or at least pretend to).
We get into the real-life logistics of extracurricular overload, how we decide what’s worth the time (and money), and the systems that have quite literally saved us—yes, we’re looking at you, carpool group chats. You’ll hear our honest takes on balancing work commitments with kids’ sports, navigating when your kid loves something vs. when it’s just…not their thing, and how team sports shape confidence, discipline, and friendships in ways that go far beyond the field.
We’re also sharing practical tips for keeping costs down (hello, secondhand gear), managing summer camps, and making sure your entire life doesn’t revolve around a folding chair on the sidelines… unless you want it to.
Whether you're deep in your sports mom era or just entering the group chat, this episode will make you feel seen—and maybe a little more organized.

In this episode, Catie and Danielle dive into the world of millennial mom hobbies—aka the things we swear we’ll make time for and then somehow end up doing in our car, at 6am, or while hiding from our kids in the pantry. From pickleball leagues that feel like a social club disguised as cardio, to marathon training that started as “just a few walks,” to the unexpected rise of weighted vests (because apparently we needed life to be heavier??), we’re breaking down what moms are actually doing for themselves right now.
But beyond the trends, this episode gets real about why hobbies matter. We’re talking mental health, identity outside of motherhood, and the very real challenge of carving out time when your schedule already feels like a game of Tetris on expert mode. Plus, we share how to realistically start—without overcommitting, burning out, or buying $300 worth of supplies for a hobby you’ll abandon in 6 days (we’ve all been there).
If you’ve been feeling like you’ve lost your “thing” or you’re ready to find something that’s just yours again—this episode is your sign.
Because you’re not just a mom… you’re a mom with hobbies now 💁♀️

Missy from Slumber & Bloom is back on From 9 to Mom and this time we’re tackling one of the biggest parenting debates out there: sleep training. If you heard her first episode with us about potty training, you already know she brings practical advice without the judgment… and we were excited to have her back.
In this episode, Missy breaks down what sleep training actually is (and what it isn’t), the science behind how kids learn to sleep independently, and why good sleep is so important for both kids and parents. We talk about when to start sleep training, how long it typically takes, and the different methods families can use depending on their child’s temperament and their own comfort level.
We also get into the real-life challenges parents face. Think sleep regressions, daycare naps, pacifiers, white noise, transitioning to big kid beds, and those moments when you’re questioning every parenting decision at 2 AM. Missy shares how to build a sleep plan that actually works for your child, plus strategies to stay consistent while still parenting with love and boundaries.
If bedtime at your house feels like a nightly marathon, this episode will leave you with practical tools, reassurance, and a reminder that better sleep really is possible.

Your gut is doing way more behind the scenes than just digesting lunch. It’s basically the control center for your energy, sleep, mood, hormones… and honestly, how you survive motherhood without running entirely on coffee. ☕️
In this episode of From 9 to Mom, Catie and Danielle sit down with health optimization expert Kyle Napier to talk about the surprisingly powerful role gut health plays in how moms actually feel day to day.
Kyle breaks down the gut in a way that finally makes sense. Think of it like a garden. What you feed it, how stressed you are, and even how you were born can all impact the balance of microbes living inside you. And when that balance gets thrown off? Hello low energy, poor sleep, hormone issues, and feeling like you’re dragging yourself through the day.
The conversation dives into how stress and cortisol can literally create tiny holes in the gut lining, why moms are especially vulnerable to gut issues, and how personalized testing like blood work and stool testing can reveal what’s actually going on inside your body. Kyle also shares insight into early microbiome development in kids, the impact of birth methods, and why quick fixes rarely solve the real problem.
If you’ve ever wondered why you’re exhausted even after sleeping, constantly bloated, or just feel “off,” this episode connects a lot of dots.
And here’s a bonus for listeners: Kyle is offering $100 off his health optimization program for From 9 to Mom listeners. Just fill out the contact form on his website and mention F9TM to claim the discount.
You’ll walk away from this episode with a much clearer understanding of how your gut affects everything from sleep to stress to hormones and what you can actually do about it.

Catie and Danielle are fresh off their Florida adventures and reporting back from the front lines of family vacation life. This week we’re recapping beach days, Disney strategy, and what really happens when you try to “relax” with kids in tow.
From sandy chaos and overpacked suitcases to stroller negotiations and snack bribes at Disney, we’re sharing what worked, what absolutely did not, and how to plan a trip that doesn’t require a small loan. We get into traveling with kids without losing your sanity, managing expectations when everyone is overtired and sunburned, and how to approach Disney in a way that feels magical and financially responsible.
If you’ve ever tried to sip a drink while simultaneously applying sunscreen, answering 47 questions, and calculating Genie+ in your head, this episode is for you. It’s honest, funny, and a reminder that family vacations might not always be relaxing… but they’re definitely memorable. 🌴✨
