Back in the day, The Talk used to refer to the super-awkward birds-and-bees chat every parent dreads having with their kid. Now, there's another "talk" parents wish they could avoid ... The Tech Talk. As in texting and Internet usage and parental controls and what's acceptable and what's potentially life-altering-ly NOT acceptable.

No fun at all, right? Especially considering most of us moms are just as tech-addicted as our kids.

It's The Kristen Chase Show to the rescue!

On this episode, Kristen checks in with Jen Singer, mom of two teens and editor-in-chief of www.MommaSaid.net, to find out how parents should approach The Tech Talk and why it's so important.

One thing they don't tell you when you're having a baby? Motherhood does change your life, and it also changes your body. Forever.

And the best way to cope with that? Toss out your scale. Obsessing about the numbers will just send you into a horrible shame spiral. Instead, focus on exercising and eating well, and before you know it your pants will be loose and you'll feel and look great.

There's no escaping the "sanctimommies." Not even the sanctimommy within! In this week's episode of The Kristen Chase Show, Kristen sits down with Ilana Wiles of MommyShorts to talk about judgy moms. Ilana is a new-ish mom to a 2-year-old girl, and she admits she can be a little sensitive about judgement from other moms.

Kristen, on the other hand, has had a few years to get used to the sanctimommies. They don't really bother her anymore. In fact, she wonders, Why do we care so much about what other moms think?

As harsh as we moms can be on each other, it's nothing compared to how tough we can be on ourselves. Mom and blogger Kristen Chase tackles this issue on the latest edition of the Kristen Chase Show. She calls it the "Five Commandments of the Survivor Mom" (five, because, presumably, who has the time for 10?).

I liked all of them (watch the video below) -- but one especially stood out:

Episode 2 of The Kristen Chase Show came out on CafeMom Studios this week, and Kristen actually dared to talk about a topic that hits home for all of us -- the dreaded Mommy Wars. (Gasp!)

Don't you pretty much want to run and hide any time that topic comes up? I sure do. I am so over the whole stay-at-home mom vs. working mom debate that I could scream. I mean, why does motherhood have to be this big competition? We're all doing the very best we can to be good parents & role models to our kids while doing what feels right for us and our own families, but it seems like we can't win whether we stay at home, work at home, or head into the office every day. There's always someone who feels the need to criticize us for our choices.
