Mother Up

13
Parenting #192

We’re Kacie and Gianna: gal pals, champagne lovers, and two moms who think motherhood is the most rewarding job we’ve ever had. But, man, were we not prepared for some of the fine print in the job description. Specifically, balancing being a mom and being YOU. It seems society only allows women to be sexy OR covered in spit-up. But WE want to be both. We want a connection with our children and partner that doesn’t come at the cost of the relationship with our own selves. We want to feel confident, beautiful, strong, vulnerable, nurturing, and bold. The connections we’ve made through our careers in media and our propensity to being social butterflies and collecting friends wherever we go means we’ll bring you a wide range of guests that will add value to your physical, mental, and emotional toolbox.We’re so glad you’re here. Now let’s Mother Up!

    Overall Enjoyable
    As a new mom, I have enjoyed many of the topics (friendships and baby names were especially great) and the dynamic between Kacie and Gianna is fun (I appreciate that they aren’t afraid to disagree with each other!). I do feel slightly dubious of some of the health/medical topics that are discussed without an actual medical expert present. And every once in a while, Kacie will give a very conservative (sometimes conspiratorial) talking point, which is a turn-off for non-ultra conservative listeners.
  • Jenny. R
    Great show!
    Newer mom here! Love all of these topics and keeping it realistic! Thank you!!
  • Jenny Robbins
    Laugh out loud!
    These two are hilarious! Listening in feels like talking on the phone to an old friend and gives those same soul-filling belly laughs. A must-listen! XO
  • JennaQH11
    So relatable 💕
    Love listening to these two! They are so fun, adorable, funny and relatable. Their topics are so real and love being able to listen to and be a part of the discussion. Mother Up ladies!
  • olivia.evita
    2 moms who just get it.
    I really searched for a podcast where moms didn’t sugarcoat, offered real useful advice, we’re relatable and also business minded. They are so honest and also share insights to how we can attempt to balance it all, and accept ourselves when we can’t. Their back and forth banter hits right on and keeps me listening and their interviews are so useful and great! Keep it coming ladies!!!! It’s food for my soul ❤️❤️❤️
  • SKilcur
    Perfect for Moms!
    Gianna and Kacie cover all the ground that moms need to know or want to ask while being smart and funny and not taking anything too seriously! They've brought in a wide range of experts to cover topics for new and seasoned moms. You will love!
  • Blair Brut
    So relatable!
    Spot on with the balance of being a mom and a person! Nice to know I'm not alone! Your podcast is the perfect outlet to reassure MYSELF that there is a community of women out there just like me! We are all doing our best juggling work, life, being a mom, friend and wife! I'll pop a bottle open to that! Cheers to you ladies ❤️🥂

  • Sara Iannaccone
    The best!
    The best podcast for moms that isn’t purely parenting focused. Covers everything that crosses my mind on a daily, weekly, monthly basis, is hilarious, and makes me feel way less alone on this journey. Can’t recommend enough!!
