Morgen and Trisha are 1st time new moms. Come along each week as they document their mom journey, touching on everything from their "geriatric" pregnancies, food ideas for the little ones, the time baby poop got all over the place, breastfeeding successes and stresses, and so much more. They hope you will laugh right along with them because isn't that really the best way to go through this crazy beautiful ride of mom-hood?
What happens when mom instincts start whispering, something’s up? We ask questions, we do research, we keep a closer eye and ear out for anything more to these gut feelings, and we turn to the professionals.
This week, Morgen and Trisha sit down with someone especially close to home, a mom of two boys and one of Morgen’s nearest and dearest, to talk about navigating evaluations and services for their kids. From reading support in private school to speech services in public programs and autism assessments, they unpack the confusing world of age cutoffs, state coverage, and those early signs you just can’t ignore. And in true mom-life fashion, expect a few surprise cameos from Harlow and Charlie along the way because mom life doesn’t pause… a reminder that these conversations are happening in the middle of real, messy, beautiful life.

Dr. Ash “Concierge Doctor” Talks Parenting, Staying Healthy as We Age, and Modern Medicine
This week on Mom Jeans & Minivans, Morgan and Trisha chat with Dr. Ash, a “concierge doctor” (as Morgen has so accurately coined him).
Dr. Ash brings a refreshingly human approach to healthcare, focusing on value-based, preventative care rather than quick fixes. With his background in internal medicine, he dives into everything from social determinants of health to the pitfalls of insurance barriers and the overuse of procedures.
As usual, it’s not all work; Dr. Ash also shares his joys and struggles as a parent. Plus, we’re thrilled to share that this episode marks our second time navigating both mom and dad -fessions. This episode is an eye-opening, empowering, and surprisingly fun deep dive into modern medicine. Grab your coffee, hop in the carpool line (or listen when your brain won’t turn off at night), and join us!

Having Big Conversations With Little Kids
This week on Mom Jeans and Minivans, Morgen and Trisha tackle one of the most important and often intimidating parts of parenting: having the big conversations with our kids. From talking about bodies and boundaries with 6-year-olds to navigating puberty, sex, and body image as they grow older, they share their approach to these topics with honesty, age-appropriate language, and a whole lot of grace.
They also discuss how they talk to their kids about people who are “different from the norm,” whether that’s physical differences, gender identity, or cultural diversity, and why starting these conversations early creates empathy, confidence, and a healthy sense of self.
Whether your child is still in diapers or already asking the tough questions, this episode is full of relatable stories, thoughtful strategies, and plenty of laughs along the way. Because let’s face it: parenting isn’t perfect, but we’re in this together!
