Welcome to Wait...Same — the podcast equivalent of a voice memo rant between best friends who love their kids deeply… and also hide in the pantry for five minutes of peace.
Hosts Kendall Gavaret and Emily Gorrie talk about the stuff moms are already thinking but not always saying out loud: the overstimulation, the guilt, the tiny resentments, the hilarious chaos, the identity shifts, the “is it just me?” moments, and the weirdly emotional breakdowns over snack cups.
This isn’t a parenting advice podcast.
It’s a “wait…same” podcast.
Honest conversations, relatable spirals, hot takes from tired moms, and the kind of validation that makes you text your friend immediately after listening.
New episodes weekly.

Apparently We're Old Enough for the Tooth Fairy Now
Apparently we've reached the phase of motherhood where our kids are losing teeth, questioning our ages, and making us feel approximately 50 years old. This week, we're talking about everything from the absolute audacity of Costco putting out Christmas decorations before October to Halloween candy politics, stolen trick-or-treat bowls, and the surprisingly complicated business of the tooth fairy. Plus, Kendall gets personally victimized by a Costco cardboard box, Emily almost becomes a youth s...

We’re Definitely Giving Them Something to Talk About in Therapy
Episode DescriptionEmily is trying not to accidentally give her daughter a lifelong fear of the ocean. Kendall is wondering how much we're all going to give our kids to talk about in therapy anyway. So naturally...we have some things to discuss. This week we're talking about the impossible job of trying to raise tiny humans without projecting all of our own stuff onto them—from fears and homeschooling to the things our parents did that would absolutely not fly today. Plus: why Kendall will no...

the flight will end, we promise.
flying with little kids is less of a vacation skill and more of an endurance sport. this week, we’re talking about what actually helps us survive travel days with kids — snackle boxes, iPads, the magical extra bag, and the very important reminder that eventually, the flight will end. then Kendall shares the birthday party moment that sent her straight into a mom guilt spiral after she lost sight of two-year-old Charlie… which leads us to the question: do moms have some sort of built-in radar ...

Wait, We’re the Expert Moms Now?
Episode Description: Apparently we’re the expert moms now, which feels like information someone should have warned us about. This week we’re talking kindergarten color week, the crafts we absolutely cannot handle, the music our kids inexplicably love, escaping the endless loop of children’s songs, and the realization that our moms were probably making it all up too. Then Kendall takes us down her latest rabbit hole: creatine, women, strength, brain fog, and whether she actually feels mo...

i’m not saying i told you so, but…
Episode DescriptionOne dog destroys a bedroom carpet, another preschool decides carpet is exactly what a building full of potty-training toddlers needs, and somehow that’s only the beginning. This week, Kendall and Emily get into the extremely specific ways moms learn to move silently (like, actually silent) through their own homes, the toddler meltdown that made Kendall realize her second kid is playing a very different game, and what happens when you watch your husband make a parenting deci...

“how was your day?” and other ways our kids completely undo us
back-to-school season has arrived, which means name labels on underwear, three spare outfits, approximately six thousand school holidays and trying to find kids’ activities that don’t require the entire family to live in the car. Emily shares how Olivia’s first week of kindergarten went—including the exhaustion, the new routines and the classroom guinea pig currently getting top billing—and Kendall prepares to send Charlie to school while negotiating a gymnastics tryout for a two-year-old who...

popsicles at 10:30 a.m. and other parenting choices we stand by
Apparently there comes a point in motherhood when your kid can sit next to you and happily do their own thing while you do yours…and honestly, we weren’t sure we’d ever get here. This week we’re talking about the tiny signs that maybe, just maybe, parenting is getting a little easier (or just harder in different ways) — plus letting our kids absolutely ruin our perfectly painted pottery, discovering the joy of having a four-year-old shopping buddy, and the very specific hell that is bri...

Are We Good Moms…or Are They Just Daddy Obsessed?
Somehow we started with the return of the missing Farfalle (yes...that Farfalle), ended up talking about toddlers who only want Dad, and accidentally stumbled into one of the biggest conversations we've had yet. What happens when you're building something you love...but it means missing bedtime? Why do we feel guilty about moments that haven't even happened yet? And why does it hurt so much when all your toddler wants is the other parent? If you've ever questioned whether you're doing enough,...

He Packed...Except for One Child
Some weekends leave you exhausted...and somehow completely full. This week we're talking about the dance recital that completely changed Emily's perspective on dance moms, the weird emotions that come with kindergarten around the corner, and why saying goodbye to preschool teachers feels way bigger than anyone prepares you for. We also get unexpectedly nostalgic about MASH, school doodles, packing lists, and the invisible mental load of getting a family out the door—especially when someone vo...

bubba nunas (and other things my kid renamed)
Dance recitals are apparently a luxury sport, toddlers have absolutely no filter, and somewhere along the way our kids started using our own parenting tactics against us. This week we're talking about the surprising (to us!) cost of dance recitals, the hilarious names kids invent for body parts, whether adults should absolutely be taking hip hop classes, and the very specific way one husband eats chocolate mousse that might actually be grounds for separate dessert jars. Plus, we share one of ...

When your kid doesn't want a birthday party
We start with toddler "why?" questions that leave everyone exhausted...and somehow end up talking about how our kids are already teaching us about boundaries. This week we're chatting about surviving nonstop summer parenting, realizing one kid needs a packed social calendar while the other needs a quiet couch, honoring a birthday request that wasn't what mom imagined, and the unexpected compliment from a stranger that nearly made emily cry in barnes & noble. Plus: the best friend question...

The Mystery of the Missing Farfalle
Have you ever spent days looking for one tiny toy while convincing yourself you're definitely losing your mind? ...same. This week we're talking about disappearing toy pieces, standing-room-only sports bars in your 30s, trying new hobbies (hello, herb garden), why getting yourself ready somehow always comes last, and the strange confidence that your toddler absolutely did swallow that tiny Lego piece. Plus, we listen to another anonymous listener submission that somehow turns into a full brea...

maybe the crystal is helping
Did motherhood make us more "woo-woo"... or just a little more open-minded? This week we're talking crystals, breathwork, meditation, fertility journeys, and all the things we used to think we'd never be into. Turns out when life gets messy—and motherhood reminds you how little control you actually have—you start looking at things a little differently. We're not here to convince anyone that crystals have magical powers. We're talking about why so many moms find comfort in rituals, intentions,...

the most mom birthday ever
Birthdays look a little different once you're a mom. This week we're talking about birthday plans that don't exactly go as planned, kids getting sick at the worst possible time, getting accidentally headbutted by your toddler, the shows we're secretly obsessed with, and the very glamorous reality of postpartum pelvic floors. Plus, one listener sends in a voice note that had us laughing, cringing, and wondering what we would have done in her shoes. If you've ever ended your birthday wondering ...

I Paid for the Hair and Hated It... and Said Nothing
Emily leaves town for 36 hours and immediately gets the school nurse call every parent dreads. Meanwhile, Kendall finally decides to do something for herself, gets her hair colored for the first time in years... and absolutely hates it. This week we're talking about sick kids, surprise office visits, gardening dreams, self-care that somehow involves airport oatmeal, gray hairs, sleep struggles, and why advocating for ourselves is sometimes harder than advocating for everyone else. Plus, a lis...
This week, we're talking about birthday confetti controversies, unexpected gluten-free revelations, the great lunchbox ice pack debate, and why having nothing planned with little kids isn't always as relaxing as it sounds. We also get into workout personalities, being weirdly competitive in yoga, the emotional power of a good sound bath, and a listener story about a little boy who desperately wants Elsa hair. Basically: motherhood, snacks, mental load, and the things that somehow become urgen...

The Hobby We Forgot to Have

We’re talking about the weird emotional crash after a fun trip with your best friend, the mental load spiral that somehow starts at 7am on a monday, and the very real moment emily used chatgpt instead of texting a friend for emotional support.
