Why Perfect Parenting Is Making Moms Miserable

Forget perfect parenting—this is the podcast moms actually want. These episodes feel like a late-night kitchen-table chat with your best friend: real, warm, and a little messy. Each week, Annabel Lawee and Dale Stabler share unfiltered stories and host honest conversations about what motherhood really feels like—identity shifts, career pivots, mental health struggles, mom guilt, and the vulnerable truths that rarely make the highlight reel. We’re not experts, nor will we ever pretend to be—just two mom best friends riding the rollercoaster right alongside you and creating a space where you feel seen, inspired, and never alone.
