#IMOMSOHARD
#IMOMSOHARD is a comedy podcast hosted by two friends who are both moms, though not married to each other. Between them they have four kids, two husbands, and six dogs, and they joke that at least two glasses of wine are part of the recipe. The show is built around candid, funny conversations about motherhood, marriage, and everyday family chaos. Episodes are loose, chatty, and heavy on laughs rather than advice.

What would a dad do? Kristin and Jen are trying to survive the fall chaos by caring just a little bit less and honestly, it might be working.
