Summary
When we imagine the “refrains of motherhood,” poetic sweet-nothings of love and encouragement come to mind. In reality? The words that come out of moms’ mouths on repeat are a little more… normal. And that’s OK! We’re here to normalize being normal. In Episode 360 Meagan and Sarah highlight the best of our communities oft-repeated phrases–everything from clever quips to 1,001 different ways to say “No”. We love how universal mom-speak is in the end, and we’re marveling over the clever ways moms find to talk to their families. Get ready to take notes!

| 0:05.2 | little to grown. We're in different areas of the country and in different stages |
| 0:09.0 | of life, but we both know that motherhood's a lot easier when real moms share |
| 0:12.7 | tips and encouragement. And remind you that it's really all gonna be okay. We're |
| 0:16.6 | not experts. We're parents who've been there. We're not perfect. We're real. |
| 0:19.9 | Welcome to the mom hour. Hey everyone and welcome to episode 360 of the mom hour. |
| 0:27.2 | I am Sarah Powers here with Megan Francis sounding a little under the weather |
| 0:31.8 | Megan. Sarah, I don't know what you're talking about. Okay, so here's a fun little |
| 0:37.4 | inside-a-re thing. I did an Instagram live this morning on my Megan Francis |
| 0:42.0 | account and the first like two things I said were so squeaky that I was like |
| 0:47.7 | there's no way we can record today, but we kind of have to just because we're a |
| 0:51.7 | little behind because the spring break. So yeah, I was like if you, you know, I said |
| 0:55.2 | if anyone's watching this and later they hear an episode where I sound really |
| 0:59.1 | squeaky, you'll know it was the one I was waffling about recording today |
| 1:02.4 | because yeah, I'm at the tail end of a cold, which you somehow infected me |

| 1:09.8 | either, but we have not been in the same bubble. We haven't been within hundreds |
| 1:14.4 | of miles of each other in a very long time. And I had a very similar cold |
| 1:19.0 | we like last week or yeah, a week ago. So we were tracking our symptoms and |
