Band of Mothers

After a lot of thought, tears, and taking a hard look at ourselves, we've decided to press pause on this podcast indefinitely while we consider what's next for us.   Those of you who have been following us for a while know the toll 2020 put on our business as a whole and how the last two years have been a struggle financially, emotionally, and creatively, and it's been extremely difficult to find our way back to stabilization. However, during this painful process, we've discovered that we aren't feeling aligned with what's required of us on the digital front, and we wanted to openly and honestly share our struggles, concerns, and personal beliefs about social media, Internet culture, and where and why we're drawing the line.  This podcast has been a great and supreme joy. We are so proud of it, and we are beyond grateful to the thousands and thousands of you who tune in.   We hope you take a moment to listen to our story and hear us when we say THANK YOU and we'll be seeing you. We love this company we created. We are so glad it happened.  We love you!  Tracey + Shayna  www.bandofmothers.com    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Now is the time to rise up and become ANTI-anti-aging. And this episode is dedicated to the strong woman inside each of us who just gets better with age!  This week, we take a deep dive into the topic of aging through the lens of being a mom. It is funny, heartfelt, and informative, with a format unlike anything out there. We cover learning to love yourself as you grow older, letting one's hair go gray (including messages from moms who grew their hair out during lockdown), and ultimately feeling good in the skin you're in. We interview pro-aging advocate, stylist, and influencer Wendy Euler of Goodbye Crop Top (she is also host of the hit podcast “Cropped”), and speak with top “gray transition” hairstylist April Markley. In addition to witty and honest banter between Tracey and Shayna, there are also messages from real moms across the U.S. and Canada sharing their thoughts on aging. As a special treat, we end with a HILARIOUS original song performed by Shayna Ferm.  The topic is incredibly timely and currently trending all across social. A change is in the air!

Shayna Ferm and Tracey Tee, creators of “The Pump and Dump Show” and best friends since the 8th grade, open up about their journey from being moms of small children to touring the country with a Parentally Incorrect comedy show to starting the “Band of Mothers” podcast.  Shayna and Tracey take turns introducing each other to the world and explain what makes her so special (and so hilarious).    Then, Shayna sings an original song that every mom (and dad) will likely relate to — especially right now: “Don't Make Me Get Up.”  Plus, they play a game of “did you or didn't you try it” Quarantine Trends that covers all the insane lockdown trends that have happened this past year from getting a new puppy to making sourdough bread and putting in a stock tank pool.  Thanks to our sponsor:  Sun Basket: SunBasket.com/BOM code BOM Don't forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode.  To learn more about Shayna and Tracey + their #BandOfMothers community visit BandOfMothers.com and download the Band of Mothers App to join an ultra private social media site for moms.

In the premiere of their podcast “Band of Mothers,” Shayna and Tracey talk to Latham Thomas, aka Glow Maven, about the importance of caring for yourself as a woman. Latham discusses why it's essential that every mother creates her own “sister circle of support” and that we learn to ask for help — even if it's asking someone to watch the kids so we can shower or take a yoga class.  Latham also shares why it's essential we teach our children at a young age about women's health, including why Mom may want to rest the first couple days of her period. Plus, should women get leave the first two days of their period each month? Latham gives her take.  Then, Latham plays a game of Woo Woo or Poo Poo with Shayna and Tracey, where she reveals her thoughts on everything from sound baths and tarot cards to vag steams and psychedelic mushrooms.  To learn more about Latham Thomas, visit https://mamaglow.com/.  Thanks to our sponsor:  Chrysler: BandofPacifica.com Don't forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode.  To learn more about Shayna and Tracey + their #BandOfMothers community visit BandOfMothers.com and download the Band of Mothers App to join an ultra private social media site for moms.
