This week we chat about Natascha's favorite takeaway from the Emergency Preparedness podcast (Episode 72) and our "Ladies Night Out" seeing hilarious comedy mom duo I Mom So Hard.

Have you ever thought to yourself "I wish I'd known that when I was younger?" Of course you have! On this podcast episode, we share the two pieces of advice each of us wish we'd been given, and how we are sharing that information with our kiddos so that they avoid (or are at least aware of) the mistakes that we made.

Flashback Episode of The Dadlands Podcast with Jamie KalerThis Week's Guests: Jen and Kristen from I Mom So HardEver found yourself reminiscing about the comical evolution of your marriage, from the honeymoon phase to the 'anything-goes' comfort zone? We've all been there, and so have our guests, the comedic duo Kristen Hensley and Jen Smedley from I Mom So Hard. Together, we share a barrel of laughs over the quirks of marriage, the identity shifts post-name change, and the celebrity parallels that come with it. Plus, we throw in a slice of husband appreciation - because, let's face it, they're part of the hilarity that makes our family lives the rollercoaster rides we cherish.Parenting isn't for the faint of heart, and our conversation proves just that, diving into the cringe-worthy yet endearing mishaps that leave us with a treasure trove of anecdotes. From the perils of birthday party disasters – think decapitated Elmo cakes and piñatas without candy – to the poignancy of ditching a child's comfort object, we uncover the shared guilt and pressures that come with the territory. But it's not all chaos; we find camaraderie in the humor and the unexpected, therapy-worthy memories that bond us closer as a community of parents just trying to do our best.Balancing work, anxiety, and family life is like trying to juggle while riding a unicycle – a feat we explore with candor and humor. I delve into the life lessons learned during school drives, the parenting tactics that hit or miss, and the roller-skate nostalgia that makes us pine for the simpler days. Amid tales of impressionable kids and the creative pursuits that keep us sane, this episode is a celebration of the motherhood journey, the depth of friendship, and the creative flame that burns through the mess of daily life. Kristen and Jen join me in this laughter-filled session, creating a space where we can all appreciate the beauty in the bedlam.Grab yourself a drink, and join us!You can catch more of I Mom So Hard at:https://www.instagram.com/imomsohard/You can catch The Parent's Lounge live every Tuesday Night at 10pm EST/7pm PST at:https://www.facebook.com/theparentsloungeJamie Kaler's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jamiekaler/Jason Gowin's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jasongowin/Justin Rupple's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/therupple/The Parent's Lounge TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@theparentsloungeshowSupport the show

We don't have to go the route of calling her a "single mom" or compare to any other life for that matter. Military life as a spouse and mom is HARD in many ways where comparison only takes us further from the support these mothers need. Let's just honor what they're individually going through and help them in any way we can! The first step is learning about their lives and the challenges they face. Along with the triumphs! And this is where my special guest comes in... Today, Ashley Falkos helps us understand her life as a military spouse and mother. To debunk the stereotypes. Explain shat her life was versus now that her husband is recently retired. We talk about the realities she faced but also the wins that she discovered that worked for her & her family. Her communication lessons, avoiding resentment, involvement of her husband, creating community, fulfilling both roles at times, misunderstandings about military life, and her recommendations on how to help your marriage survive through it all. I hope you enjoy this episode and all Ashley offers. Feel free to share with a military mom so she knows she's not alone. Thank you for listening and let me know how this episode affected you.

Kristin and Jen of I Mom So Hard are the best friend duo that went mega viral, became an internet sensation, and are now best selling authors, podcast hosts, and comedians with a national tour. Over the years they have used their wit and humor to make observations about momming—this thing we love so much but aren't sure isn't going to kill us. Their videos keep us in stitches for pointing out the obvious, calling out the absurd, rebuking the ridiculous, and celebrating the simple wins of motherhood. And as they joke and laugh and bare their vulnerabilities, they are bringing generations of women together to help each other get by. It was all my honor to sit down with them and discover that what you see is what you get. You're going to love them even more than you already do. Have a listen!

Did you know that hiring a professional, experienced book editor can cost you upwards of $200 an hour? Well, consider this your $200 episode of The Selfish Gift! Maggie spends an hour talking with Hilary Swanson, a freelance ghostwriter and editor who runs a workshop called "How the F*ck Do I Get a Book Deal?" with bestselling author John Kim. Hilary spent the first ten years of her career acquiring and editing bestsellers at HarperCollins Publishers, and she spills all of her insider knowledge about what the Big 5 look for in a book proposal.Hilary says, "Reading can be an act of activism, so that made me really passionate about making sure my list was doing what it could do to kick down doors." That meant searching for the strongest voices she could find in modern feminism, memoir, smart/edgy humor, mental health, and modern self-help—including New York Times bestsellers by Queer Eye's Jonathan Van Ness, actor Rose McGowan, and the comedic duo behind #IMomSoHard. But what if you're not a TV darling or a hilarious podcaster with millions of followers? How do you make your message stand out from the crowd? In this episode, you'll learn:What an editor actually does. (Spoiler: It's not just sitting in a cozy chair reading manuscripts.)How big of a platform you need to catch a traditional publisher's eye—and what to do if you don't have one.How pitching your book to a publisher is like pitching to a venture capitalist.Why writing a good proposal is the key to getting a book deal—and how to write one.Counterintuitive tips for writing a truly impactful memoir.For more, check out:hilaryswanson.commaggielangrick.comwonderwell.pressAnd follow:instagram.com/illadiainstagram.com/maggielangrickinstagram.com/wonderwellpressinstagram.com/selfishgiftpodcast
