EP10: MamaBare Unfiltered – March Catch-Up

It’s time for another round of MamaBare Unfiltered, where we ditch the script and catch up on all things real life and motherhood. In this relaxed chat, we cover what’s been going on behind the scenes lately—because sometimes you just need a good vent, a few laughs, and a reminder that you’re not alone.
In this episode we chat about:
Life lately and how we’re really doing
Erryn’s ongoing home renos and birthday party planning chaos
Brie's baby Everest hitting new milestones
Sleep regressions, toddler attitudes, and mama burnout
The little things we’re doing to feel like ourselves again
So grab your coffee (or wine—we’re not judging) and join us for a cozy catch-up with your mama besties. 💛

EP9: Navigating Screen Time for Kids

Screen time—it’s a blessing and a challenge. Too much can affect sleep and emotional regulation, so how do we find balance? In this episode, we talk about introducing kids to screens safely with age-appropriate platforms and privacy settings. We also dive into recognizing warning signs of cyberbullying and online predators. Let’s navigate the digital world with confidence! 📱💛

EP8: Co-Sleeping - How We Co-Sleep & Why

Co-sleeping—one of the most debated parenting topics! In this episode, we break down what co-sleeping is, its pros and cons, and our personal experiences. Erryn still co-sleeps with her 3- and 5-year-olds, even bed-sharing both girls, while Brie transitioned her baby to a crib at 8 weeks. We discuss how every family’s journey is unique and why there’s no shame in choosing what works best—as long as it's safe!
We also dive into the internet’s divisive take on parenting choices and why we're here to empower, not judge. Whether you co-sleep, crib sleep, or do a mix of both, this episode is all about supporting your parenting decisions! 💛

The kids are (mostly) asleep, and we’re finally sitting down to reconnect! In this real and unfiltered chat, we talk about how life feels extra full right now—taking on more than we probably should, but loving it anyway. We cover fitness, car seats, BLW, biological dentistry, nipple biting (ouch!), and Erryn’s race to finish the floors before her daughter’s 5th birthday.
