Hot Mess, Cold Brew is the no-filter parenting podcast for moms and dads who are done pretending. Hosted by Michelle (mom of 4) and Shay (dad of 2), this is your weekly dose of brutally honest conversations from both the mom trenches and the dad side of the battlefield. We talk mess, mental health, meltdowns (yours and theirs), and everything else no one wants to admit. It’s funny, unfiltered, and deeply relatable because perfect parenting is a lie and we are calling BS together. New episodes drop every week. Bring your coffee or your wine. We don’t judge.
