They're back with some MNO Chit Chat! This week, Jenny, Katie, and Mandy tackle the tricky territory of communal kid discipline — inspired by a polarizing article in The Atlantic and a real-life train moment in Prague. Would you be okay with a stranger correcting your child? And would you ever step in with someone else’s?

Next, the ladies break down playdate pressure — from allergy protocol to awkward sports field invites, and whether we’re all just overthinking it.

And finally, MNO answers a listener question about THREESOMES! No no, not that kind of threesome..they're talking about the classic friendship trio dilemma: what happens when two moms hang out without the third? Is three a crowd, or can it really work?

Moms Night Out

MNO Podcast

In this episode of Moms Night Out, Katie, Jenny, and Mandy welcome Holly Swenson—award-winning author of Stop, Drop, Grow, and Glow, registered nurse, wellness blogger, and mom of four. Drawing from her background in healthcare and real-life motherhood, Holly shares her mission to help parents lead with more joy, intention, balance, and presence.

Holly introduces her signature concept, the Five Rights of Parenting—a simple but powerful framework to help moms and dads raise happy, emotionally healthy kids through intentional choices. She walks through each “right”—Right Now, Right Intent, Right Use of Speech, Right Use of Power, and Right Use of Love—and explains how this gut-check tool can shift parenting from reactive to responsive, especially during those everyday meltdown moments.

The conversation also explores the connection between conscious parenting and self-care, how to pause before reacting, and how Holly’s book Stop, Drop, Grow, and Glow helps parents reconnect with themselves while raising resilient children. Whether you're in the thick of toddler tantrums or navigating teenage chaos, Holly’s insights offer clarity, calm, and a fresh perspective on parenting with purpose.

Moms Night Out
MNO Podcast

How much screen time is too much? And how much are other kids getting? If you've ever handed over an iPad just to drink your coffee while it's still hot, you're in good company.

In this episode, we sit down with Jacqueline Nesi, clinical psychologist and author of the wildly popular Substack, Techno Sapiens, whose writing dives deep into parenting and screen time — with equal parts data and honesty. We break down the latest numbers from Common Sense Media’s new report on kids ages 0 to 8 and ask the questions all parents are thinking:

• ​Is 2 hours and 27 minutes of screen time really normal?
• ​Do all 8-year-olds actually have phones?

We also get real about what’s behind the screen time — the chaos, the quiet moments, and the choices parents make to survive another day. From guilt and guidelines to YouTube rabbit holes, we cover what matters most: context, compassion, and curiosity.

If you’ve ever felt conflicted about screens, this episode won’t judge you. It’ll just make you feel a little more seen.

Dr. Jacqueline (Jackie) Nesi is a Clinical Psychologist, Assistant Professor at Brown University, and author of the weekly newsletter Techno Sapiens, which reaches over 50,000 readers every week. Her research focuses on the role of technology in kids’ mental health, and on how parents can help. She is also the co-founder of Tech Without Stress, which provides online resources and courses for parents raising kids in the digital age. She's also a mom of two (and soon to be three!).

On this episode of Moms Night Out, Jenny, Katie, and Mandy dive face-first into the internet’s wildest skincare trend — “caveman skin.” Tia Zakher has gone viral for not washing her face at all (not even with water), and let’s just say… the results are sparking strong reactions. The hosts weigh in: could ditching your skincare routine really reset your skin, or is this just flaky nonsense?

Then, they tackle a stat that has moms everywhere nodding in agreement — nearly half of women say their husbands stress them out more than their kids. The trio gets real about emotional labor, asking for help without guilt, and what true partnership looks like at home.

Plus, in a feel-good finish, they share 10 small but magical ways to surprise your kids (or honestly, your partner) and bring more joy into your home. Join us!

Moms Night Out

MNO Podcast

This week, the ladies of Moms Night Out are joined by Buzzkill Wines founder Molly Fedick—a badass entrepreneur who's shaking up the wine world without the booze. We get into why she started a non-alcoholic wine brand, what “sober curious” really means (hint: it’s not all or nothing), and the moment she realized it was time to cut back on drinking.

Molly keeps it real about the cultural shift away from alcohol, the new data connecting booze and cancer risk, and what to say when your friends don’t get it. From Gen Z’s influence to millennial catch-up vibes, the ladies dive into the mindset, the movement, and the misconceptions surrounding alcohol-free living.

Moms Night Out

MNO Podcast

Jenny, Katie, and Mandy dive into some of the prickliest topics in modern friendship — from ghosting to ghosted Venmo requests. With surprising stats and personal takes, the moms talk about why friendships end, whether it's ever okay to cut ties without a word, and how money issues can quietly break bonds.

They also take a moment to reintroduce themselves for new listeners — sharing how they met, what led them to start the podcast, and what they’re up to outside the mic. Then, in a fun role reversal, they answer the hot seat questions usually reserved for guests: favorite drinks, guilty pleasures, dream podcast guests, and more.

Whether you’re in a friendship funk or just curious about the ladies behind the laughs, this episode’s got heart, humor, and all the group chat energy.
