| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm Megan. We're two moms with eight kids between us from |
| 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. Hi everyone and welcome to episode 325 of the Mom Hour. |
| 0:26.8 | I'm Megan Francis here with Sarah Powers. Hey Sarah. Hey Megan, how are you? I'm |
| 0:31.8 | good and I like that number 325. It feels like a good round number even though |
| 0:35.7 | it's not a round number. It does. It feels like a time of day almost. We just got |

| 1:12.0 | are just asking me before we started recording. You're like, I don't even know |
| 1:14.7 | what's going on with you. Yeah. Because things get busy. And when we're working, |
| 1:19.6 | we're like trying to maximize our summertime time. So when we get into talk |
| 1:26.0 | about work, we just talk about work. And then we get out, you know, and then we go |
| 1:29.4 | live our lives and have kids around us all the time and stuff like that. So |
| 1:32.7 | there's just not a lot of opportunity to just talk about what's going on. And then |
