Episode 06 - 9 Lives Before 9: Morning Madness
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Mornings in motherhood can feel like living nine lives before 9am — getting kids ready, finding lost shoes, reheating the same cup of coffee three times, and somehow trying to take care of yourself too.
In this episode, we’re talking about real morning routines and the unpredictable chaos that sometimes takes over. We share what a typical morning looks like in our home, along with some of those one-off moments that remind us that motherhood rarely goes according to plan.
We also play a fun Would You Rather: Morning Madness Edition, where we dive into some relatable (and slightly ridiculous) parenting scenarios.
Would You Rather?
- Spill coffee on your white shirt or realize it's pajama day at school and no one is in pajamas?
- Have a smooth morning, but chaos at bedtime or peace at bedtime and a chaotic morning?
- Everyone talk to you at once or be physically touched by at least one child at all times?
- Someone yelling mom repeatedly from another room or someone narrating every thought while standing next to you?
- No coffee or coffee that gets reheated 3 times?
We want to hear your answers! Because sometimes the best way to survive the madness is to laugh about it together.
