Episode 5: Can I Be a Trad Wife AND a Feminist?
Cristina finds herself in a very modern dilemma: how did a feminist public health professional become a stay-at-home mom—and accidentally a trad wife? Joined by Jess, Tiffany, and Jamie, the moms dive headfirst into the deeply personal and deeply political intersection of feminism and traditional gender roles.
This episode of Mommy Has Questions explores the nuances and contradictions of modern motherhood: what happens when your values say “progressive” but your day-to-day looks like a 1950’s domestic stereotype? From TikTok’s romanticized tradwife aesthetic to the very real work of managing a home, these women peel back the layers of historical baggage, societal pressure, and internal conflict that come with choosing motherhood on your own terms.
This isn’t a fight between old and new—it’s a reckoning with complexity. The conversation unpacks why feminism is about choice (not judgment), how media distorts both feminist and traditional roles, and why including men in the conversation is key to any real progress. With humor, vulnerability, and zero shame, the moms question what it means to choose a path once forced on generations of women—and whether reclaiming it can actually be radical.
For every woman who's ever wondered, “Am I betraying feminism by loving this life?”—this episode is your permission slip to ask the bigger questions. Welcome to the chat.

Episode 4: Is Social Media Bad for Moms Too?
Is scrolling through Instagram a break—or a breakdown? In this episode of Mommy Has Questions, Cristina, Tiffany, Jess, and Jamie get honest about how social media shows up in their lives: the good, the bad, and the doom-scrolly.
After a chaotic night solo parenting, Cristina confesses how she reaches for her phone in moments of overwhelm. What starts as a harmless habit quickly turns into a group conversation about whether our feeds are soothing us—or slowly stealing our time, presence, and peace.
Together, the moms unpack how algorithm-fueled content taps into our anxieties and insecurities, why social media feels like “connection” but often isolates, and what healthier digital boundaries might actually look like. By the end, they’ve brainstormed real-world tactics for breaking the cycle—and come up with their own new mantra: control the scroll.
If you’ve ever opened your phone to relax and looked up 45 minutes later feeling worse than when you started—this one’s for you.

Episode 3: Why Is It Hard To Ask For Help?
Cristina struggles to ask her husband for help and she's not alone. Joined by Jess, Tiffany, and Jamie, the conversation quickly unfolds into the raw, unfiltered truth about why these seemingly simple conversations are so hard.
This episode of Mommy Has Questions dives deep into the invisible tax women pay: that nagging guilt, the way money creates power dynamics at home, and the bizarre reality that asking for help somehow morphs into seeking permission for basic needs. Listen as these four friends dissect how deeply-rooted gender expectations and emotional programming sabotage even the most loving partnerships, revealing why the real work isn't just dividing chores—it's dismantling everything we were taught about our own value.
The moms don't just commiserate—they strategize. Get practical, battle-tested tactics for these high-stakes conversations: from the power of putting it in writing to the art of strategic timing (spoiler: avoid the 10PM exhaustion zone). With equal parts vulnerable honesty, unexpected humor, and validating "me too!" moments, this episode speaks to every mom who's felt invisible at home or overwhelmed by doing it all.
For every woman who's thought, "Why does asking my partner for help feel like a negotiation?"—this conversation is your sanctuary. Welcome to the chat.

Episode 2: Why Am I Drowning In Laundry?
In this second episode of Mommy Has Questions, Cristina is drowning in laundry. Joined by her co-hosts and fellow moms from New York City, the conversation quickly unfolds into something much deeper: the mental load, emotional labor, and historical forces that have made moms the default household managers, even in 2025.
Together, the women dive into the systemic roots of unequal labor at home. From 1950s propaganda and the whitewashed dream of suburban life to the way modern women are still expected to “do it all.” They unpack how the GI Bill (government funding btw!) helped build suburbs only for some, how women were pushed out of the workforce post-WWII, and how those outdated ideals still shape who’s expected to do the dishes today.
It’s smart, it’s funny, it’s painfully relatable. Whether you’re a mom drowning in laundry or just trying to renegotiate chores without a fight, this episode is your reminder that your frustration is real, and you’re not alone. It's a call to rethink how we divide labor, advocate for ourselves, and raise a new generation with different expectations.
This one’s for the mom who’s ever come home from a trip and thought, “Wait, how is nothing done unless I do it?” Welcome to the conversation.

Episode 1: How Did I Get Here?
In the very first episode of Mommy Has Questions, Cristina opens up about the moment she realized she was living a life she never signed up for — driving a minivan through Arkansas as a stay-at-home mom of three after being pushed out of her job while pregnant. Sound familiar? You’re not alone.
Joined by her three mom friends from New York City, the co-founders of Among Other Things, this honest and hilarious convo dives into the real identity crisis that so many moms face when modern motherhood collides with outdated societal expectations. Together, the four women unpack the patriarchy, pressure, and total lack of support that define the parenting experience in America today — and why that needs to change.
This episode is a love letter to the mom who's ever asked herself, "Wait… how did I end up here?" It's raw, funny, and calls on listeners to join the movement of redefining what motherhood looks like — on our terms.
