The Mom Existence

Auteur(s): Ashley Kielbratowski | BNV Media
  • Résumé

  • Buckle up crew, because this podcast is all about keeping it real. I’m your host Ashley and we’re diving headfirst into how life does a 180 the second that baby leaves your bod. Trust me, your world will never be the same. The day to day mom grind is tough, it’s relentless, and let’s face it, some days you’d rather do just about anything than change another diaper and have shit thrown at you. We're going to explore what it's like being a mom in today's world. And spoiler alert: it’s not great at times and harder than it looks on Instagram. I’ll be sharing my own hilarious and sometimes cringe-worthy stories, chatting with some amazing and fun guests while uncovering the trials, anxieties, and tough days that come with the territory. We’re going to cut through the bullshit and get to the heart of this crazy ride. I know firsthand how hard it can be trying to balance career and family, and the desperate need for self-care (hello, like 5-minute showers please!), and the never-ending quest for personal growth. Once you step into the mom zone, life gets harde…r than trying to assemble IKEA furniture in the dark. I wish I was joking. We're covering it all—from the first post-baby romp to the less glamorous side of pregnancy, mental health struggles, career ambitions, and so much more. Join us this August as we navigate the chaos and uncover what motherhood is really all about. Don’t forget to follow us on social media @themomexistence. Bye for now, and remember: you’re doing amazing!

  • Exploring the Momlife Crisis with Kate McKenna
    Jan 16 2025

    Kate McKenna is an award-winning television producer and broadcaster with extensive experience in the Canadian media industry. She has worked both behind the scenes and on camera for programs such as CTV's The Social, Your Morning, and MUCH's SIDES. Additionally, she has contributed as a writer and content creator for TSN, the CFL, CBC Sports, and The Hamilton Spectator.

    Kate is the creator and host of The Social's digital series, Momlife Crisis, which explores the challenges and joys of motherhood. She is also a mother of two, balancing her dynamic career with family life while sharing relatable insights into parenting and professional growth. Parenting small children is an experience full of surprises, challenges, and emotional highs and lows. For many, like when transitioning to life with a second child, the reality often doesn't align with expectations. Preparing for the early days of motherhood feels nearly impossible, and navigating the hardest parts of raising kids—especially in a bustling city like Toronto—can feel overwhelming.
