POPULARITY
On today’s episode we will be discussing maternal martyrdom. What exactly is a martyr? According to Merriam Webster, a martyr is: a victim, a great or constant sufferer. Ooof. I think we might have qualms with the victim blaming aspects of that definition, especially considering the gender inequities women are constantly up against, but we do want to key in on this idea that mothers, from a cultural lens, are expected to suffer. The mental load describes the invisible labor that goes into running a family, and even when working outside the home, we know women tend to bear the brunt of household and child rearing duties, all things covid has only intensified. But as Ali Wong says, “I have suffered enough” and today we hope to break down this phenomenon and brainstorm ways to not only reframe this narrative for ourselves and honestly our livelihood, but even more so unravel the necessary work of dismantling the systems that got us here in the first place. We are thrilled to have writer and storyteller Jill Krause joining us for this convo. Jill’s first blog, BabyRabies.com, was started in the summer of 2017 when she decided to get serious about getting pregnant. Eventually it became her full time career and passion. She has been recognized by Vogue Magazine, Time Magazine, and has been published in US Weekly, Refinery29, Buzzfeed, Huffington Post, Cosmopolitan, Today.com, and other online, on-air, and print media outlets. She has a degree in journalism from the University of Missouri and has been a storyteller for as long as she can remember. She has also published two books on pregnancy and breastfeeding and two e-books on photography. Jill is mom to 4 children, two dogs, and lives in the Austin, TX area. Now that Jill is mentally and physically done having babies, you can find her on JillKrause.com and on social media platforms.

What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms
Have you ever considered selling the house, homeschooling the kids, and traveling for a year? Has a job or life change ever thrust a cross-country move, or other radical change, upon your family? Does the very notion strike terror in your heart? In this episode, we discuss how to prepare for— and make— big changes as a family. Change feels huger and scarier when you have kids, in part because routine and structure and familiarity are the things that kids crave, and need in order to survive. But our guest Jill Krause argues that structure, routine, and family togetherness can be found in all sorts of places. Jill’s Happy Loud Life YouTube channel has chronicled the travels of her family of six as they spent the last sixteen months touring the United States in an RV. With— you read that right— four children. Including a toddler. So nobody is saying radical change is easy. If it were, there’d be no point in undergoing it. But change is possible. And it doesn’t always mean permanent. What “change” means, in fact, is entirely up to you and your family. Here’s links to writing on this topic that we discuss in this episode: I Miss You When I Blink, Mary Laura Philpott’s terrific new memoir on giving yourself permission to change Carl Richards for NYT: Hesitant to Make That Big Life Change?

Our MILF (Mother I'd Like To Find Out About) of the Month sold her family's dream home a year ago, got rid of almost all of their belongings, bought an RV and set out to tour the country for a year. She had 4 kids - one of which was a newborn - a husband and a dream of something different - maybe even better - than the suburban life they always thought they wanted. Jill Krause is a renowned parenting and travel blogger - of Baby Rabies and Happy.Loud.Life fame - photographer, author of two books, and a sought after voice in the blogosphere. We talk about OMG HOW DID YOU DO THIS CRAZY THING?!? Ask her about the nitty gritty details of RV living WITH 4 KIDS (hint: the one bathroom gets ripe) and how she's navigating the transition from a years long career in the momosphere to a rebrand that maybe isn't 100% focused on just kids and being a mom. And of course we ask her how they managed to have sex.

After college, they each moved to separate coasts for a decade. They were reunited when they decided to leave big city life and settle down with their families in Denver, Colorado and Facebook told them their daughters are 3 weeks apart. After several play dates, some more childbirth, some unsuccessful pumping, and the overwhelming nature of mommy community boards, The Pump and Dump Show was born. The show launched in 2012 in a bar in Northwest Denver and quickly grew to a bi-monthly, local staple for new moms to have a night out. In 2014, Shayna and Tracey took The Pump and Dump Show on its first national tour and continue to perform every month to audiences nationwide.

What a great episode! I chat with Jill Krause, popular blogger at Baby Rabies and at her new adventure, Happy Loud Life. Jill found herself in suburbia, living in her dream home, more stressed and more unhappy than she’d ever been. One day Jill and her husband decided to sell everything, including their home, pack their 4 kids into an RV and travel the US for an entire year.It hasn’t been easy for them, but it has been an adventure. The kind that leaves a lasting mark on you for the rest of your life.The message I hope you get from hearing Jill’s story is this: When you're faced with a dream and have the audacity to say, "This isn’t working, let’s turn this freaking thing upside down" - for a shot at something really, truly great - you will be faced with many many reasons why you can’t.Imagine what would happen if you simply said, "I can."Also, enjoy today's Word Up Daily!SHOW NOTES:Follow the Krause Family Adventure: Happy Loud Life >>happyloudlife.comBaby Rabies >> babyrabies.comWord Up Daily:Catch up on dailies >> https://annalindthomas.com/category/word-up-daily/Join the list >> http://bit.ly/word-up-dailyWord Up ClubNovember's Workshop is Chasing Dreams and Taking NamesJOIN NOW >> itsnotthatseriouspodcast.com/join

Taylor Bradford "I will share whatever I am talking about, [in] the very first paragraph, I will interject whatever personality I have and whatever commentary I have." Taylor Bradford "We are kind of in a solo business even though we have other bloggers that we can go chat with, this is still our solo business, and you need someone that is not in your world to be able to cushion you." Taylor Bradford "You don't really want to burn out because this is your job and this is your business that you have been cultivating for so long but you need to be able to kind of renew yourself somehow and how do you do that well, you almost need to force yourself to take a break in order to recharge and be able to continue to put out the compelling content." Taylor Bradford QUOTES BY RACHEL "Really trying to stay true to why I started doing it and staying true to my own voice instead of trying to get caught up in the fads or things that really don't fall along my voice or my audience or my message which really is a food blog with family on the side." Rachel Matthews "I have found myself saying, ‘well if I just post about this once, then I can kind of maximize on this,' and it never feels authentic to me." Rachel Matthews "She [a reader] had a point that she sees people jumping on band wagons and all of a sudden they go away from the person that she's loved reading, I also went and explained to her well we are all growing and sometimes you read a blog for a long time and then the blog goes on a different path because that is where that blogger has gone." Rachel Matthews "You kind of have to realize that sometimes while they're [readers] there for what the service you're providing, they are not interested in who you are as a person, so that is an interesting line to walk as a food blogger...is how much personal do you get into and how much do you just stay recipes." Rachel Matthews "Closing the door is never a good idea as far as I believe. Always leave it open and I will tell you something, all PR people of all levels and of all companies talk." Rachel Matthews "My love language is food, hands down and doing this has allowed me to pursue photography which has always been a passion of mine but I never thought would be something that I could do further than a side hobby or a tourist." Rachel Matthews "The hardest [part of blogging] is being a business. Not just doing it for fun, really taking the time and doing the research and continually learning and following all the ever loving different changes of every network and every new thing that comes out." Rachel Matthews "Prayer, really, as cliché or trite as that sounds, when I start to feel like I can't do this or questioning myself or really just going ‘oh my gosh is this going to be the right decision, am I doing the best for myself, for my family, for everything'...taking a minute and kind of closing everything down, saying a prayer and sometimes going to my husband and saying, ‘okay, help me, let's talk,' because he is my biggest sounding board but he's also my biggest supporter." Rachel Matthews "Many more spouses are coming to conferences and seeing the space and getting to understand what happens, and seeing the power behind it. And also for how far that this space has come, and how many people are coming out of this with radio shows and TV shows and books, cookbooks, all of these amazing experiences and the way that they are being kind of rocketed into the stratosphere has really made more people step back and go "oh"." Rachel Matthews "Be authentic, be kind, and lift others up because if we don't do those things and we don't put that out there, what kind of world are we creating for ourselves but what are we leaving for those that come behind us."

Calm the F*ck Down (Knock Knock) Based on a no-holds-barred post that swept the internet, Calm the F*ck Down is for parents who desperately need a chill pill. This helpful how-to offers a diaperload of practical advice from parenting blogger David Vienna, and shows that common sense can get you through most parenting dilemmas. The guttural stepsister to Keep Calm & Carry On, Calm The F*k Down includes advice from actual experts and blends authoritative and humorous in equal parts. Praise for Calm The F*ck Down: “Step 1: Buy this book. Step 2: There is no second step.” —Farah Miller, editor Huffington Post Parents “If Vienna's CTFD had been available four years ago, the money I could have saved on antacid and Grecian Formula would easily fund my daughter's first year of college.” —Dave Engledow, author of World's Best Father “David Vienna is a singular voice of reason amidst the obnoxious echo chamber of parenting philosophies and self-help guru-dom. His humor will persuade you to let your guard down, and his honesty in the face of one of life's greatest challenges—raising children—will have you feeling sane again.” —Charlie Capen, creator HowToBeADad.com “We've become a nation of risk-averse, safety-obsessed, Purell-loving freaks, and David Vienna thinks it's time that we all just calmed the f*ck down. Hilarious, helpful and—most importantly—the antidote to the age of over-parenting.” —Melissa Sher, creator of Mammalingo.com “I've been trying to calm the f*ck down since the minute I found out I was pregnant with my first baby. Literally. Like, I'm medicated for it now so I'm mostly okay, but this book is like yoga for my obsessed-mother mind. I feel so Zen after reading it! And I also got a great ab workout from all the laughs. I think it should be required reading for all parents. Heck, can it just be required reading for everyone? Because I think parents and non-parents alike could use a little CTFD when it comes to dealing with kids.” —Jill Krause, author of Baby Rabies David Vienna is a father of twin boys, a former journalist and spent a few years writing for reality television. That one really awesome episode of House Hunters—yeah, that was his. He covers parenting issues at TheDaddyComplex.com and other questionable sites, and has also spoken at the Dad 2.0 Summit. His work also appears in exquisitely crafted drunken emails to his friends from high school. He loves E.L.O., '70s horror films, Philly cheesesteaks and napping.
