Wait, Is This Normal? Finding Humor in It All with Taylor Wolfe

About this episode

Tara Clark and Taylor Wolfe discuss the challenges and humor found in motherhood, sharing personal stories and insights.

Motherhood is a wild ride: equal parts magic, mess, and muttering “what now?” In this episode, Tara is joined by Taylor Wolfe, comedian, content creator and author of Just a Busy Season, for a heartfelt conversation about parenting through those busy seasons of motherhood. Taylor opens up about her motherhood journey, the inspiration behind her book, and how humor has become one of the most reliable survival tools in the parenting toolkit. They dive into the mental load modern moms carry, from the pressure of social media’s perfectly filtered parenting moments to the challenge of balancing self-care while caring for everyone else first. Taylor shares personal stories about navigating grief, including the loss of beloved dogs, particularly her dog Vinny. It’s honest, comforting, and full of reminders that you don’t need to have it all together. If you’ve ever laughed so you wouldn’t cry, this episode is for you. It’s like listening in on a private conversation between Tara and Taylor. Links: https://www.instagram.com/thedailytay/ https://www.thedailytay.com/ https://amzn.to/4n9PpBZ
