Hey there! We're Gianna & Kacie– co-hosts of the Mother Up Podcast, moms (duh), champagne lovers, and gal pals.
Between us we have three children under three years of age. One of us is done having kids. The other is aiming for three more. Both of us agree that motherhood is the most rewarding job we’ve ever had. But, man, were we not prepared for some of the fine print in the job description.

Even with the incredible networks of support that we are lucky to have (shout out to the friends and fam we’ve texted/called/FaceTimed at 3am for help), this motherhood thing is STILL hard. Specifically, balancing being a mom and being YOU. It seems society only allows women to be sexy OR covered in spit-up. But WE want to be both. We want to feel confident, beautiful, strong, vulnerable, nurturing, and bold. We want a connection with our children and partner that doesn’t come at the cost of the relationship with our own selves.

We recognized a similar yearning from other women and decided to create the content we were craving.The connections we’ve made through our careers and our propensity to being social butterflies and collecting friends wherever we go means we’ll bring you a wide range of guests that will add value to your physical, mental, and emotional toolbox.

We’re so glad you’re here. Now let’s Mother Up!
