  Episode 41 | The Truth About Abortion

  Sep 21, 20261h 15mS6

  The Truth About Abortion P Abortion is one of the most emotionally charged and politically divisive conversations in America, and it’s also one where misinformation spreads incredibly quickly. In this episode, we wanted to strip away the talking points and look at what’s actually true. We dig into abortion laws, viability, later abortion, medical emergencies, and several of the real cases that have dominated the conversation since the overturning of Roe v. Wade. We also make something clear from the beginning: we are pro-life, but being pro-life doesn’t mean manipulating facts to make our side look better. If the facts challenge something we believe, we’re going to talk about it. We examine claims coming from both sides of the abortion debate, including where stories have been oversimplified, laws have been misunderstood, and legitimate concerns deserve more attention. But this conversation also becomes deeply personal. Brittainy opens up about her own previous experience with abortion and the trauma she carried afterward. She shares a part of her story that isn’t easy to revisit and talks candidly about the emotional impact that can exist long after the procedure itself is over. We also wrestle with where the pro-life movement has room for improvement. What does supporting life look like beyond opposing abortion? How can we better support women facing unexpected pregnancies, mothers experiencing devastating pregnancy complications, babies, and families after a child is born? And when there are problems or confusion surrounding the laws, how do we acknowledge them and advocate for improvement? This isn’t an episode about pretending there are easy answers to an incredibly complicated subject. It’s about being willing to sit in the uncomfortable parts, challenge our own assumptions, separate fact from rhetoric, and have a conversation where compassion and truth can exist at the same time. And make sure you stay until the very end , because there’s a surprise waiting that we’re not giving away here. You’ll just have to listen.

  Episode 40 | The Truth About Lindsay Clancy

  Aug 27, 202648 minS6

  Truth Moms goes full truth and nothing but the truth about a case that is almost impossible to hear without asking one question over and over again: What happens when a mother asks for help that goes unaided? What happens when there is truly no support like the type advocated for by all moms? Before the deaths of her three children, Lindsay Clancy’s story included months of psychiatric appointments, medication changes, worsening insomnia and anxiety, reported suicidal thoughts, crisis calls, specialized postpartum evaluations, and eventually a voluntary psychiatric hospitalization. One thing the Brit and Court agree on: we’re not here to play judge and jury or excuse the unthinkable or diagnose a woman. We are here to look at what happened before January 24, 2023. Because buried underneath the headlines is a much bigger conversation about motherhood, postpartum mental health care, the medication carousel, the enormous burden placed on families to recognize a psychiatric crisis, and what happens when a mother is clearly not okay but doesn’t fit neatly into the diagnostic box in front of her. Where were the cracks? Who was responsible for connecting the dots? And how many times does a mother have to say “I need help” before the system knows what to do with her? This is The Truth About the Lindsay Clancy Case. Not a verdict. A truthful conversation.

  The Truth About Breastfeeding: No One’s Coming for Your Formula

  Aug 11, 202647 minS6

  The Truth About Breastfeeding Week: Damned If You Do, Shamed If You Don’t Welp, we did it. We called BS on perfection, and this episode might be the furthest from perfect we’ve ever been. Between breastfeeding babies, toddlers interrupting, Wi-Fi issues, PMS, and a phone literally dying mid-rant, this one is motherhood in real time. In between the chaos, we’re diving into why World Breastfeeding Week has somehow become controversial, why celebrating breastfeeding doesn’t equal shaming formula-feeding moms, and why moms should be allowed to feel proud of what their bodies can do without someone else taking it as a personal attack. Then, because we can never stay on one topic, we get into feminism, trad wives, stay-at-home moms, marriage, and why supporting women’s choices should include the choices you personally wouldn’t make. No perfect setup. No perfectly behaved kids. Definitely no perfectly curated opinions. Just two moms talking about the things everyone else seems to be fighting about on the internet. Welcome back to Truth Moms.

  Episode 38 | The Truth About Critical Thinking : Taylor Farms, Food Safety & Parenting Polarization

  Aug 3, 202639 min

  TM is back (for real this time) ! After juggling postpartum life, full-time work, toddlers, and home construction, Brit and Court are catching you up on where they’ve been and sharing what the future of Truth Moms might look like (yes, that could mean recording from cars on lunch breaks or bedrooms while Bluey buys 20 minutes of peace). Then they dive into one of the biggest conversations online right now: the Taylor Farms Cyclospora outbreak. Is the real issue one contaminated product, or a food system where a handful of massive companies control so much of what ends up on our grocery store shelves? Unpack food safety, marketing buzzwords like “organic,” and why asking questions shouldn’t be controversial. Then the Moms get real hot on the next topic: what it actually means to be a critical thinker after comments made on the I’ve Had It podcast sparked debate about homeschooling and political labels. Explore why dismissing entire groups of people can shut down meaningful conversation, and why curiosity, nuance, and challenging our own beliefs matter more than ever. Whether you homeschool, public school, lean crunchy, are science-minded or crazy Christian, or somewhere in between, this episode is an invitation to ACTUALLY think critically, ask better questions, and have conversations without immediately putting people into boxes.

  Episode 37 | The Truth About Hitting Pause

  Jul 22, 202649 minS5

  What happens when you have every intention of kicking off a new season... and life has other plans? In this long overdue catch-up, we're talking postpartum life, living in the middle of a home addition, surviving summer with kids, the conversation around moms in the media, and all the random tangents you've come to expect from us. This episode was recorded a few weeks ago and was originally meant to launch Season 6. Instead, it became a snapshot of a season we'll probably never forget. Grab a coffee, take us along for your drive, or hide in the pantry for a few minutes. We're so glad you're here, and we can't wait to jump back into regular episodes with you soon. Because if there's one thing we've learned this summer, it's that motherhood doesn't care about your content calendar.
