Motherhood has left us slightly unhinged — and we’re laughing about it. What started as a sold-out, nationally touring standup show is now a podcast, because let’s face it…we’ve got way too much to say. Each week, Moms Unhinged dives into the perils (and punchlines) of motherhood, marriage, dating, divorce, midlife crises, and everything else that makes us lose our cool. With a rotating lineup of 30 hilarious mom comedians (and the occasional token dad), you’ll hear the raw, real, and ridiculous stories of women balancing kids, comedy, and careers — all while embracing their most unhinged moments. It’s comedy. It’s catharsis. It’s the laugh you desperately need.
What do parenting and wine actually have in common? More than you’d think.

Teaching your teen to drive sounds like a milestone—until you’re gripping the passenger seat, bracing for impact, and silently calculating how much a mistake might cost. From parking lot panic to real road anxiety, this phase of parenting is equal parts freedom, fear, and financial risk.
Becoming a stepmom isn’t just about joining a family—it’s about redefining your role overnight. One minute you’re the fun adult, the next you’re setting rules, enforcing structure, and figuring out how to connect with a kid who’s still deciding who they are. Monica Nevi shares what no one really tells you: the tension, the growth, and the moments that are equal parts frustrating and hilarious.
Spring break: the pressure to create magical family memories… and the reality of airport playgrounds stealing the spotlight. In this episode of Moms Unhinged, Andrea Marie, Merit Kahn, and Stephanie McHugh swap laugh-out-loud stories of vacation mishaps—from expensive Disney trips overshadowed by garbage cans to road trips gone wrong and the never-ending quest to entertain kids. It’s a funny, honest reminder that what kids remember most isn’t what you planned—it’s the moments you never saw coming.
Stand-up comedian Julie Drake didn’t start her comedy career in her twenties like many comics. Instead, she walked onto an open mic stage just two weeks before her 39th birthday—at what she describes as one of the lowest points in her life. What she expected to be a quick way to cross a dream off the list turned into the moment that changed everything.
In this episode of Moms Unhinged, Julie shares the unlikely path that led her to comedy, from discovering stand-up as a kid watching HBO late at night to raising two children as a single mom while juggling multiple jobs and eventually going back to college in her late twenties. Her story is one of resilience, unconventional timing, and refusing to let life’s setbacks determine what’s possible.
Julie also opens up about the realities of motherhood, the sacrifices she made while raising her kids, and why she believes some dreams can wait—but they should never be abandoned.
