2023/07/13

Nicole is out this week as Shelby sits down with 2 of her closest mom friends to discuss the triumphs and tests associated with having kids all really close in age.

I'm not 100% what this episode was supposed to be about, but I can tell you that we ended up talking (and laughing) our way through covering some of our favorite tools to support parenting.

Furbabies are people too (Ep 16)

Matching Mom Genes ·

2023/06/08

Pet Appreciation Week might be this week- it might also be in a different month- the internet can’t decide, but we’re talking about it anyway. This one’s for the parents of furbabies everywhere. Is parenting a dog or cat THAT much different than parenting a toddler? Do we only train pets or do we just pretend that parenting is just the training equivalent? You decide, but also, Nicole has a chicken living in her house, so there’s that. Matching Mom Genes is just another mommy talk pod, but we’re

Matching Mom Genes ·

2023/06/02

Rory (Nicole's oldest) joins the pod to help us usher in Pride Month and spills some important perspectives from our beloved Gen Z on all things gender, sexuality, and identity. 20% of Gen Z identifies as part of the LGBT+ community, so even if you are not personally currently parenting a child exploring their identity, I can guarantee your child will know someone who is! There's quite the little lesson to be learned from this 19yo about acceptance and support within the family

Privacy vs Dignity (Episode 11)

Matching Mom Genes ·

2023/05/04

Nicole spends this week quizzing Shelby about how parents can better handle their children's identities on the internet. Do you show their faces? Do you tell silly, but maybe embarrassing anecdotes?

Consent At All Ages (Ep 10)

2023/04/27

Today’s topic is slightly heavier. April is the awareness month for both sexual assault and child abuse/child sexual abuse. One of the most important things we can do as parents is try to change the narrative around consent and bodily autonomy for this next generation. Consent can be taught at any age and this week we aim to address some of those concepts and break down manageable steps you can take today to start introducing this topic.
