Details

Mom Best Friends Laura Perlongo & Emma Bing combine personal experience and intimate survey results to bare it all in this raw, mom-life-as-a-modern-woman tell-all. A deep-dive into the stuff usually reserved for 3 AM google-bots under the glow of a breast pump. Sex, weird body stuff, stressing, chilling (jk lol). Uncombed hair and unruly babies. But fashion? They don't have all the answers and used to be afraid of even having "mom friends" but here they are, baring their souls for an LOL series that both examines and redefines what motherhood and mom friendship means today. Weekly surveys. Open forum. Ask anything!

<div>Baby or not, if you’ve looked in a mirror, you’ve sized yourself up. Compared and contrasted with what was (I used to look so YOUNG!) or what could be (maybe if I try THAT I’ll look like her!). Even if the standard is an old version of yourself, no one is immune. Is it evolution-based brain chemistry or cultural brain washing? Is social media to blame? Facetune? The Kardashians? And who are we even trying to impress? Ourselves? Our partners? Kelly Smith from our high school track team? In this episode Emma and Laura speak candidly about the rapid body changes post-baby and survey moms across America for a path to self-love.</div>
