In this episode of Built-In Besties, we're celebrating the joy (and chaos) of raising our favorite little humans — the ones who come built in. From Halloween costumes that haven't come off all month to late-afternoon kitchen dance parties, we're talking about the magic of doing life with your kids, not just for them. We dive into the real stuff too — pregnancy emotions, mom guilt, why it suddenly feels easier (and why that makes us want another baby), and learning to listen when our kids talk. Plus, a little Taylor Swift, Olivia Dean, comfort creators, and cozy house ideas — because moms deserve comfort too.

We've officially made it through the chaos of summer and the moving boxes (mostly) have been unpacked… but everything is broken. In this kickoff-to-fall episode, we're catching up on life lately — from Taylor Swift's new album and joining the park moms book club (!!), to Jack suddenly WALKING like we don't already have enough toddlers around here. We're sharing our weekend reset plans (hi Noah Kahan), reflecting on working mom burnout, and declaring a soft start to "Family 75 Hard" before daylight savings kicks our butts. Think of this episode as your seasonal pep talk: part catch-up, part cozy home & lifestyle reset, part "how are we even going to survive winter, girlies? Grab your hot drink, put on your sweat set, and let's reset together. 🍂✨

BUT heads-up… we do spill the tea on S - A - N - T - A at the very end, so maybe don't blast this in the car with your little ones unless you're ready for some big questions 🎅🤫
