Moms Off The Record

THANKS TO SPONSOR: Wild Nutritionist! Use code MOTR to save 35% off Mama Baby Biome Method AND First Foods Plan I have been very busy life-ing, particularly with two extremely active toddlers, and therefore my priorities have majorly shifted. I may return to this podcast once we're all settled into our new home and routine in Sweden in the fall, but I'm not going to commit to any definitive timeline or frequency. In this episode, I discuss one of the major inspirations of the decision to take...

I have no clue whether Erik and I will have a third baby. We're both leaving the door open for that possibility. What we do know though is we're waiting minimum 3-4 years between baby 3 and our second baby. Probably leaning closer to 4 years. With two kids just over two years apart, I reflect on what the postpartum period was actually like for me, especially as a mom who parents intentionally, prefers not to take shortcuts or use literal or metaphorical pacifiers, and mothers in alignment wit...

I sat down with Caley Jones of Rad Moms Union to unpack what’s really happening behind the scenes of the ByHeart formula manufacturing plant, and why their recent botulism outbreak should raise everyone's eyebrows. Caley brings a critical, highly-relevant perspective to this conversation. Before becoming a mom, she worked directly in consumer goods, food manufacturing, quality assurance, and factory testing both in the U.S. and overseas. In this conversation, she explains how infant formula m...

In this episode of Mom Off the Record, I’m joined again by the one and only Jamie Glowacki — and this conversation goes far beyond potty training. We talk honestly about what’s really going wrong in modern parenting: unrealistic expectations, over-accommodation, fear-based decision making, and a culture obsessed with comfort and instant gratification. Jamie breaks down how these patterns show up in everyday parenting — from sippy cups and snacks to organized sports, discipline, and yes… potty...

In this special end-of-year episode, Kat and April sit down for a heartfelt and honest conversation reflecting on the journey of Moms Off the Record: how it began, how it evolved, and what it has meant to both of them and the community it grew. This episode also marks a meaningful transition. After years of co-creating MOTR together, April shares her decision to step away as a co-host, with Kat moving forward as the sole host and steward of the podcast. The conversation is rooted in gratitude...

We’re joined by journalist and former climate activist Lucy Biggers of The Free Press (and formerly NowThis) to talk about the surprising intersection of motherhood and politics, and what happens when we’re brave enough to reexamine our deeply held beliefs. Now a mom of two toddlers, Lucy shares how motherhood reshaped her worldview, inviting her to question ideological narratives she once championed. Together, we explore what it means to humbly change your mind in a polarized world and why m...

Jamie Glowacki, mom, parenting expert, and acclaimed author of "Oh Crap! I Have a Toddler" and "Oh Crap! Potty Training", joins us for an uncensored conversation on what today’s parents are getting wrong (and right) about raising kids. With more than 25 years of experience working directly with families, Jamie dives deep into popular parenting styles, discipline, emotional regulation, and why the trend of “gentle parenting” can sometimes miss the mark. We explore hot-button topics like: Why o...

Alaina faced obstacle after obstacle during her first pregnancy, which happened to be a di-di, identical twin girl pregnancy, and her initiation into motherhood resulted in the first twin being born vaginally and the second via cesarean. Recovering from a c-section plus physical separation for days from her babies due to a NICU stay didn’t deter Alaina from physiologic mothering and tuning into her high nurture intuition. Alaina walks us through about her mindset, values, and support system w...
