This week on The Mom Existence Pop Culture Report, we're diving into the stories everyone's buzzing about — from the backlash around "toxic" mom groups and the Ashley Tisdale & Hilary Duff conversation, to Jennifer Lawrence opening up about how motherhood changed her priorities. We're also unpacking the very public Beckham family drama and the Summer House couple, Kyle & Amanda split announcement, talking relationships, reconciliation, and what happens when partners are in totally different life stages — plus a little fun new-mom news to end on a high note.

In this episode of The Mom Existence, Michaela and I dive into the real highs and lows of motherhood. We talk about morning routines, balancing work and parenting, navigating grief, and why strong support systems matter so much. Through personal stories, health and wellness insights, and honest reflections on birth and childcare, this conversation explores the emotional complexity of being a mother while reminding us that none of us are meant to do this alone.

2026 is here — same year, same exhaustion. Add a touch of winter blues and I'm doing my best to stay focused on work, building our house, and prepping for a baby arriving in May. In this episode, I'm sharing what I've been up to lately: a Florida escape, traveling with a toddler, whether New Year's resolutions are even real, and of course house + baby updates.

Happy New Year!
