Mama Merit Badge

Krista Olynyk and Samantha MacKinnon

Yapping at the intersection of motherhood and ambition.

A podcast for moms doing their best (and sometimes their worst) while juggling kids, careers, businesses, and the chaos of family life. Hosts Samantha and Krista—two black SUV moms from Southern Ontario—hand out imaginary badges for the messy, hilarious, and wildly human moments of modern motherhood.

Expect real talk, zero judgment, and the occasional snack hidden in the pantry.
