Über diesen Titel

Thank you for listening to Pick Your Battles! We are here to give you professionally, UNPROFESSIONAL parenting advice. We are just two moms laughing as we navigate parenthood and picking our battles along the way. Whether you are a mom, dad, grandparent, friend, or someone who knows a kid, you're in the right place.

As we know, there isn't a manual that's given to you when you have a child and Kaela and Dayna are here to share their peaks, pits, and lessons learned along the way.

Kaela is a stay-at-home mom and lives in southwest Michigan with her two children, two dogs, and husband, Zander.

Dayna works full-time in the corporate world and has a son, a dog (whom she refers to as her firstborn) and her husband, Jimmy.

The idea for this show, like Dayna's son, was born during the COVID pandemic and has been a fun and wild ride ever since.

  • Battle of Talking about Death with Kids

    Battle of Talking about Death with Kids
    Jan 7 2026

    Not the most uplifting way to start the new year, but this is a topic that we both have been wanting to talk about for months now. Every family will be touched by death at some point - whether it's a friend, a pet, or a close family member (which in our minds PETS fall into of course). But the task of talking about "death" with a child is a tricky one. Do you bring in a religious aspect? Do you sugarcoat it? Is it best to just rip off the band-aid and dive in? On this episode of Pick Your Battles, we share stories about recent deaths we have experienced in 2026 and how we talked about it with our kids.

    Battle of Traveling with Other Families
    Dec 3 2025

    We celebrated Atlas' birthday by taking a multi-family trip to Chicago, and BOY did we learn a lot. From schlepping 5 children ages 6 and under through the snowy streets of Chicago, through exhibits and tanks-gallore at the Shedd Aquarium, and in the halls for a giant hotel, we are all still recovering from this group trip!

  • Battle of Infant and Pregnancy Loss

    Battle of Infant and Pregnancy Loss
    Oct 22 2025

    TRIGGER WARNING

    1 in 4 women suffer from infant and pregnancy loss and October is the month that honors those losses.

    We welcome back our best friend and sister-in-law, Kelsey, to the show to talk about her journey with infertility, IUI, IVF, and ultimately losing her baby at 10 weeks pregnant. This is HER journey and HER feelings on how she and her husband Zak are navigating these times. We all hope that this allows people who are going through this season of life to know that you are not alone. And for those who have never experienced this kind of hurt and loss, there are unfortunately many in your life who are - so just be kind.
