Pelvic floor issues after pregnancy are far more common than we’re told. In this must-listen episode of Between Us Moms, we’re joined by Dr. Sara Reardon, pelvic floor physical therapist and the woman behind @the.vagina.whisperer, to answer the questions so many moms are silently Googling.

Dr. Reardon breaks down what the pelvic floor actually is, how it’s affected by pregnancy, childbirth, and C-sections, and how to tell whether your pelvic floor is too tight, too weak, or both. We talk about what really happens during your first pelvic floor therapy session, when it’s safe to start therapy after giving birth (and whether it’s ever too late), and why pushing when you pee can do more harm than good.

This episode also dives into:

• Pelvic floor recovery after a C-section (including the C-section shelf and how to treat it)
• Common pelvic floor symptoms during perimenopause
• The role of the pelvic floor in sex, orgasm, and intimacy after having a baby
• How pelvic floor therapy can help if you struggle to orgasm
• Dr. Reardon’s professional take on red light therapy underwear
• One simple daily habit busy women can do to support pelvic floor health

Whether you’re newly postpartum, years out from having kids, entering perimenopause, or just want to feel stronger and more connected to your body, this episode is packed with practical, evidence-based advice every mom should hear.

Happy 2026! The Between Us Moms podcast kicks off the year with a fresh new format and some fun new segments. This week, we dive into “Mom Yay or Nay of the Week” with Hallie’s bold move of pushing back her kids’ bedtimes for a little more sleep—and some real talk from Katie about a super fun parents’ night out. It involves many cocktails -- and the parents' from Kaia's school! It's a total YAY. Katie also shares her family’s new New Year’s Day tradition and spills the tea on a game-changing Costco travel hack. Plus, we talk about why eating like total garbage over the holidays is definitely relatable and a-ok. 😂

In our new segment “Headlines That Made Us Text Each Other,” we debate:

• Tom Brady’s cozy moment with Alix Earle -- and his yacht hang with Leonardo Dipcario (why is it giving creepy grandpa?!)
• Zach Bryan’s whirlwind marriage and why Brianna Chickenfry is winning
• North West’s nose piercing and that jaw-dropping 106-carat pendant. What even?!

We also share our intentions for 2026 and highlight what’s “IN” this year in the all-new Mom Algorithm segment. Tune in for all the laughs, hot takes, and the perfect mix of mom life and pop culture!

✨ This Episode:

• Hallie vs. Chicago Snow: Hallie gives us the real talk on parenting in freezing temps. Bundling kids, battling ice , and trying to maintain sanity in Midwest winter? It’s HARD raising kids in the cold!

• Katie’s Disneyland First-Timer Adventure: Katie took her girls to Disneyland for the very first time—and yes, she cried (in a very mom-at-Disney way). She also opens up about finally discovering the root of her youngest daughter’s months of fussiness… ALLERGIES. A reminder to trust your gut, ask questions, and always advocate for your babies. She explains what is going on!

• 2025 Year in Review: The moms reflect on what this whirlwind year taught them—about themselves, career and work, and in their motherhood journeys. Growth, grace, grit… and a whole lot of fun.

Thank you for being part of our little community this year.

On this episode of Between Us Moms, we’re joined by Kitty Brandtner, the founder of March Fourth, a nonpartisan movement fighting for a federal ban on assault weapons.

After the Highland Park shooting on July 4th, 2022, Kitty woke up the next morning — heartbroken, angry, and unwilling to go back to “normal.” In her words, “I woke up on the 5th of July and was like, really spicy and pissed… I just wanted to go to D.C. and scream at the top of my lungs that I want a federal ban on assault weapons.” She posted her email on Instagram, took a deep breath (and a Xanax), went to bed — and woke up to more than 300 messages from people across the country who felt the same way. From that moment, March Fourth was born — a movement formed by accident, powered by hope.

In this conversation, Kitty shares what motivated her to take that first step, why March Fourth has stayed intentionally nonpartisan (“We’re not here to tell you how to vote — we’re here to ask if you believe we should end mass shootings”), and what it will really take to get a federal assault weapons ban through Congress. She also offers simple, concrete actions that any of us — from our own homes — can take to help move the needle on gun safety.

This episode is raw, motivating, and full of heart — a reminder that you don’t need to be an expert or an activist to make a difference. Sometimes, you just have to decide you can’t go back to work tomorrow.

Happy Bump Day, mamas! Today it’s just Hallie and Katie catching up with a long-overdue real mom life update—and it’s a wild one. If you’re deep in holiday stress, mom burnout, or sick-season chaos, this episode is for you.

Katie kicks things off with what can only be described as The Plague: RSV, croup, barf buckets, foiled Halloween plans, parents’ group-chat panic, midnight pharmacy runs, and somehow still managing family photos and Christmas decorations. Oh, and she’s hosting Thanksgiving for the first time… pray for her.

Then Hallie jumps in with a very different kind of update: the spark is BACK. She and Andrew are finally out of the baby-making/postpartum fog and fully in their hot-and-heavy era—think revived mojo, new toys, and actually enjoying intimacy again.

We also break down our best tips for managing the holiday mental load, including:

✔ How getting off social media reduces holiday overwhelm

✔ Turning gift-wrapping into a cozy, fun tradition instead of a chore

✔ Setting deadlines so you’re not doing everything last-minute

✔ Easy tasks your partner can fully take over to lighten the load

✔ Simple mindset shifts that make the holidays feel less heavy

This episode is full of relatable mom moments, holiday stress hacks, and honest conversations about marriage, intimacy, and mental load during the busiest season of the year.

This week, we’re joined by TLC’s Seeking Sister Wife stars April and Jen Davis for a candid conversation about family, love, and what life really looks like behind the scenes of their plural marriage.

The couple opens up about the arrival of their daughter, Charlene “Charlie” — who made her debut a week early — and how they’re adjusting to life with a newborn. “Two is a lot different than one,” Jen laughs, as they share how they’re finally getting some sleep, “looking out for each other,” and soaking in the joy of their growing family. Jen also talks about how she’s doing postpartum, giving full credit to the “love and support” she’s surrounded by every day.

But one name that doesn’t come up as the ladies talk about their family unit is Theresa, whose relationship with April, Jen, and Nick is featured this season. April hints that there are plenty of “ups and downs” with her and teases that fans will have to watch and see what happens. Still, she’s quick to make it clear that their family is “extremely happy” as things stand today.

April and Jen also take listeners back to the beginning, opening up about how their relationship started as a friendship and evolved into the foundation of their plural family. They explain why it “made more sense” for April and Jen to be legally married to one another, how they balance work and finances with Nick staying home, and the teamwork that goes into making their family dynamic work day to day.

From handling public criticism — and even pushback from extended family — to talking about growing old together and making retirement plans as “lifers,” the Davises share how they stay grounded and connected through it all. They even get into the details fans love: their sleeping arrangements, the infamous “boom boom room,” and how they made sure their new home could fit their 13-foot custom bed.

And yes — they’re still open to growing their family. Jen reveals she and April are back on the dating apps, and the two share what it’s really like to find a potential match in their unique situation. Plus, they tease what viewers can expect from the rest of this season of Seeking Sister Wife, airing Mondays at 9/8c on TLC.
