A For Effort

We're reading your submissions on the topic of "things people have said to you that were completely unsolicited" and maybe even inappropriate! Actually, definitely inappropriate. So we're here to defend you and lay some ground rules when it comes to giving people advice.

Show Notes

If you live on this planet at any time, in any place and occasionally leave that place, you are the perfect candidate for some free advice. Sorry, we know you didn't ask for it, but you're definitely getting some. And when it leaves you speechless, but you also just need to tell someone about it, we are your ladies. We have received the unsolicited advice, we have digested it for you, and we have reacted. And BONUS, we even give you clear guidelines on things that you should NEVER give advice on. You're welcome;)

Hey, it’s us: Amanda and Megan. We’re just two average moms who love their kids so dang much we decided to start a podcast! This is not another mommy podcast, with experts informing you how you can be a better mom/wife/daughter/coworker/best friend in twenty-six sugar-coated steps. What WILL you find in this podcast? Validation? Yes. Laughter? Hopefully. Inspiring advice? Probably not.

Truthfully, no matter how many parenting books we read or conferences we attend, we still find ourselves raising our eyebrows and stifling laughs at our offspring. So, at the end of the day, we just slap each other on the butts (like you did in high school volleyball) and say: “you really tried, and that’s all that matters…”
