Join us, two best friends of 17 years who became teen moms and are now raising teens of our own. We’ve navigated every twist and turn together-from the ups and downs of young motherhood and marriage to building businesses and chasing dreams.
Now, we’re sharing our journey as we tackle this next chapter together. Get ready for real talk, laughter, and heartfelt stories as we dive into the raw realities of parenthood, co parenting, friendship, and everything in between. Welcome to our journey-where two best friends prove that no challenge is too big when you’ve got a friend by your side
In this episode, Rebecca and Ashley dive into the myths we’ve all heard (and maybe believed) about parenting and marriage. From the idea that breastfeeding is easy and tantrums only belong to toddlers, to the pressure of keeping a spotless house to prove you’re a “good mom”—we’re calling it all out. We’re also unpacking marriage myths like “kids bring you closer” and “marriage will fix everything.”
Plus, we chat a little about Easter and share a dose of motivation on following your own rules, staying in your own lane, and letting go of comparison. You don’t want to miss this one.
