Episode Description from the Publisher

Mom guilt comes in all forms — from being a working mom, to the transition from one kid to two, to worrying your kids aren’t eating enough vegetables. In this episode of Always Here, the girls talk about the pressure moms put on themselves, the emotional “firstborn shift,” and why the guilt can feel endless no matter what stage of motherhood you’re in. They also get into awkward conversations about the s*x talk and poll the audience for the wildest, most irrational places mom guilt has taken their minds.
