 A single dad. A teenage daughter. And the moment parenting shifts from protecting to preparing. This week on Moms and Their Music, we open the door to a different side of the parenting experience.In our first-ever Dad-isode, our anchor host sits down with Billy Boy, a single father raising a teenage daughter as she steps into a new phase of independence.What unfolds is a conversation about trust, growth, and the delicate balance between holding on and letting go.From navigating the teenage years to reflecting on the role music plays in shaping memories and connection, this episode highlights the often-unspoken thoughts behind fatherhood; especially when raising a daughter.It's a perspective that is rarely centered, but deeply important.Youtube Playlist for this EpisodeSend us Fan Mail Support the show

 For the first time ever, the full MATM trio is finally in the same room… and the conversation goes exactly as off the rails as you'd expect. No missing chairs. No scheduling chaos. Just the full trio doing what we do best; laughing too hard, telling stories we probably shouldn't, and saying the quiet parts out loud.What started as a simple recording quickly turned into one of the most fun sessions we've had so far. The energy in the room was unreal, the stories escalated faster than expected, and more than once we looked at each other and asked, “Should we cut that?” …and then decided not to.This episode is what happens when moms finally get to talk about a night out and the conversation goes completely off the rails; the kind of honest, hilarious, and sometimes chaotic storytelling that comes from real friendship, motherhood, and life lived out loud.If you've ever wondered what happens when three moms get together to talk about parenting, life, music, and the stories that come with it… this episode is exactly that moment.Grab your drink or mocktail, settle in, and come hang out with us.Trust us… this one gets wild.Youtube PlaylistSend a text Support the show

The first baby changes your life. The second baby changes everything else.In Episode 6 of Moms and Their Music, we're talking about the beautifully chaotic reality of welcoming that second child; the shift in family dynamics, the emotional curveballs, the moments that make you laugh just to keep from crying, and the realization that whatever you thought you had figured out the first time… might not apply anymore.This episode is also a long-awaited MATM milestone as Rachel finally joins us on the mic, bringing her voice, perspective, and lived experience into the conversation for the first time.Motherhood doesn't come with a manual, and adding another tiny human to the mix has a funny way of rewriting the rules you thought you understood.So come hang out with us as we talk about the surprises, the struggles, the humor, and the unexpected beauty that comes with that second child.Because if the first baby teaches you how to become a mom… the second one teaches you how to roll with it.Youtube Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwnGrdjqohPKHIpcpVSStTecLqu-AUnr0&si=rCD8QxT0nUHAP94nNewey Soundcloud:Stream NEWEY music | https://soundcloud.com/neweymusicSend us Fan Mail Support the show

Two of the moms sit down for a conversation that doesn't try to wrap motherhood into neat little boxes. Bonus moms. Bio moms. Different roles, different emotions and a whole lot of perspective that rarely gets said out loud.What starts as a simple discussion slowly unfolds into something deeper: boundaries that aren't always clear, love that looks different depending on where you stand, and the quiet truths that live underneath blended family dynamics. There's no scorekeeping here. No sides to pick. Just honesty, reflection, and the kind of real talk that happens when the mics stay on long enough for the walls to come down.Some moments feel raw. Some feel unexpectedly comforting. And of course, it wouldn't be MATM without a few laughs breaking through when things get heavy.If you've ever lived in the gray areas of modern motherhood or wondered what those conversations sound like behind closed doors; this episode invites you to listen a little closer.Press play… and step into the perspective.Link to the YouTube playlist:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwnGrdjqohPJZUnCUlQDZj4Gr0nqWdX_B&si=-KQiwU6re3NLvUWhSend a textThe Classic MATM intro the sound that tells you, we're coming back from or going to break/ad ok byyyyeee Support the show

One of the Moms and Their Music hosts sits down with Tianna for a real, unfiltered mom-to-mom conversation rooted in the music that shaped us and the lives we're building now. What starts as a discussion about playlists and nostalgia quickly turns into something deeper; motherhood, growth, and the moments that connect us long after the songs fade out.This episode brings back the original MATM energy: honest stories, unexpected laughter, and the kind of conversation that feels more like sitting in a living room than recording a podcast. There's a light nod to an emo-girl era that may or may not still exist somewhere in our playlists, but at its heart, this is a story about real moms, real experiences, and the music that carries us through every season.Link to YouTube Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwnGrdjqohPJIJeF7513msLqvY_sBRVNQ&si=Ladnkh-5VwOO81vvSend a textThe Classic MATM intro the sound that tells you, we're coming back from or going to break/ad ok byyyyeee Support the show

In Episode 2, we get into talks about kid shows, movies, and games. The ones we grew up on, the ones our kids are obsessed with now, and the weird emotional whiplash that happens when those two worlds collide. Somewhere between Bluey episodes, theme song earworms, and background noise we didn't consent to, something else sneaks in: nostalgia, grief, joy, exhaustion, and a whole lot of “wait… why does this hit?”This episode is funny. It's nostalgic. It's honest in that “I didn't know I needed to say this out loud” kind of way.It's also one of those conversations that starts light… and then quietly reminds you that being a mom doesn't erase who you were; It just layers more meaning on top of it.So whether you're listening while folding laundry, sitting in the car for five minutes of silence, or reliving your childhood through your kid's favorite show; we're right there with you.

This first episode is intentionally unstructured.Two of the hosts sit down with no outline, no script, and no pressure; just two moms talking, laughing, and bouncing off each other's energy the way it naturally happens. We kick things off with our Song of the Day, wrap up with a Random Kid Moment, and let the rest of the conversation unfold in between.This episode isn't about perfection or polish. It's about giving you a real feel for who we are, how we show up, and why music still lives in us even after life gets loud. Consider this your introduction; not to the show, but to us.The Classic MATM intro the sound that tells you, we're coming back from or going to break/ad ok byyyyeee Support the show
