ABOUT THE WHAT FRESH HELL PODCAST
When you're a parent, every day brings a "fresh hell" to deal with. In other words, there's always something. Think of us as your funny mom friends who are here to remind you: you're not alone, and it won't always be this hard.
We're Amy Wilson and Margaret Ables, both busy moms of three kids, but with completely different parenting styles. Margaret is laid-back to the max; Amy never met a spreadsheet or an organizational system she didn't like.
In each episode of "What Fresh Hell" we offer lots of laughs, but also practical advice, parenting strategies, and tips to empower you in your role as a mom. We discuss ways to prioritize your own needs, combat stress, and despite the invisible workload we all deal with, find joy amidst the chaos of motherhood.

Oh my goodness!!!! I'm so excited!!! I found your podcast several months ago and I started from the oldest and I've binged it so much that I finally got to a podcast that said you were on CZcams!!!! I am so so PUMPED!!! I cannot even tell you both that I have clung to this podcast like a life raft. I have a 4 year old and an almost 2 year old (girl and boy respectively). And WOW!!! The amount of information I have gleaned from your podcast as well as the incredible number of resources! I mean...wow... your podcast should be a number 1 staple in every mother's lives. I'm so glad I get to see you in person! (CZcams you know). I love love love love your content! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
