Episode 17 | The Truth About Miscarriage, Reality TV, and Influencer Culture Jun 20, 2025

Welcome back and buckle up. This season the moms decided to give more real and raw experiences, not realizing they’d be the ones to experience them.

In a raw moment that wasn’t meant to be on camera, Brittainy opens up about the dark side of influencer culture—and what it was really like behind the scenes of Very Cavallari. Spoiler alert: she’s not the same woman who once lived in a reality TV group chat.

We then catch up with the moms in yet another transition period and talk about what life looks like post-4th trimester for Brit, going back to work with babies at home, and how “working mom” is the biggest challenge.

Trigger warning for those who have lost and are listening for the next segment, as Courtney shares her deeply personal experience with miscarriage and the silent grief so many women carry.

It’s honest. It’s raw. It’s a little unhinged. It’s Truth Moms Season 3.

Episode 13 | Bottled Up: Predatory Formula Marketing’s Grip on Mom Guilt with Andrea Haskins | Instinctual Mothering Apr 09, 2025

On this episode with Instinctual Mothering’s Andrea, the Truth Moms squad explores the history behind predatory formula marketing and the constant maternal pressure around feeding your baby. How does the intricate web of advertising tactics used by formula brands shape parenting choices? Second-guessing comes with motherhood, because let’s face it—it can’t be taught in a book**—**or a pamphlet. We all agree “fed is best,” but where does that term stem from, and what exactly was the original intent behind the message? The moms explore the history of formula and pediatrics, popular formula brands’ war on breastfeeding, why formula milk marketing might actually place more pressure on mothers, and how community—not shame, blame, or any advertising game—can help you make the best choice for your baby. Trust your gut—you’re going to want to tune into this one.

Her tailored training programs aim at empowering clients with knowledge and tools to maintain a balanced lifestyle. Sheeva explains from her own experience wellness is not a one-size fits all program, no matter what your favorite influencer says.

Whether you’re new to motherhood or just looking to expand your circle, this chat is packed with relatable stories, practical advice, and lots of laughs. Don’t miss it!

Episode 7 | Parental Perspectives Jan 08, 2025

Court and Brit discuss parenting styles and discover they may not fit in one box: parenting à la carte, if you will. With every parent and every child on their own journey, the moms also discuss parenting in the wild: how to maneuver different styles and respect everyone’s path to parenthood while simultaneously being mindful of their own boundaries.

Episode 6 | B is for Breastfeeding Dec 18, 2024

Brittainy breaks down the history of breastfeeding coupled with her own experience. Having extended from EBF (exclusively breastfeeding) after learning her milk was high in lipase and the two week recommended bottle feeding wait period turned her baby off bottle feeding and into a boob barnacle.

Brit and Court, like many moms across America, have qualms with the food industry.

Episode 3 | To Snip or Not to Snip That is the Question (The Circumcision Conversation) Nov 27, 2024

In this episode of Truth Moms, Courtney and Brittainy dive into one of the most overlooked parenting topics: circumcision. After extensive research, Courtney made the choice not to circumcise her son at birth and is now sharing everything she learned—the pros, cons, myths, and facts—with Brittainy, who’s expecting but doesn’t know the gender of her baby. Never having seriously considered this decision before, Brittainy listens, asks questions, and explores the topic from a fresh perspective.

They also discuss why circumcision remains such a normalized, unquestioned practice in the United States compared to other parts of the world. Why don’t more parents talk openly about this decision? Are we missing key information as a society? This honest, thoughtful conversation sheds light on a topic many parents face but rarely dive into. Whether you’re deciding for your child or simply curious, this episode is packed with insights.
