This is Common - Life Beyond the Baby
You’ve outgrown the baby stage — but you still feel like you’re coming undone in the carpool line.
This podcast is for the moms in the middle of motherhood — managing moods (yours and theirs), hormones, identity shifts, messy marriages, mental health spirals, and maybe one too many Starbucks runs.
Hosted by Jaime Hunter, founder of The Common Moms, This is Common is a no-filter, no-fluff podcast about what happens after the swaddles and sleep regressions — when your kids get louder and your emotions get heavier… and no one’s talking about it.
Expect unfiltered solo episodes, real guest convos, audio hugs, and the occasional well-earned f-bomb.
It’s not a parenting podcast. It’s a permission slip.
You’re not too much. You’re not failing. You’re just in it.
And this? This is common.

Cougar Puberty - Hot Flashes and Brain Fog

Welcome to Cougar Puberty — because what else do you call the hormonal rollercoaster of perimenopause no one warned us about?
In this episode, I sit down with Meghan Schrumm — a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, Registered Social Worker, and mom of three — to talk about the “WTF is happening to my body?” stage of life: perimenopause.
We’re getting real about:
- The weirdest, sneakiest symptoms (it’s not just hot flashes)
- That terrifying moment your brain goes completely blank mid-sentence
- Why it’s not in your head (but it’s definitely messing with your head)
- And how to start actually feeling like yourself again
This isn’t your typical wellness chat. It’s raw, hilarious, and exactly the convo you wish was happening in the school pickup line.
So if you’ve been googling things like “why do I rage cry at 3:17 p.m. every day?” — pull up a chair. We’re talking about it.
