“I love meeting people’s moms. It’s like reading an instruction manual as
to why they’re nuts.”
-Ted Lasso
Being a mom is hard.
We should know. We’ve got six kids between us.
Who are we, you ask?
Well, Ashley Adamson is the lead host and reporter for the Pac-12 Network and has been for a decade. A storyteller and communicator by trade, Adamson is humbled daily by her two young children who rarely listen to a word she says.
Lisa McCaffrey was an English major and standout on the Stanford women’s soccer team. She’s married to former NFL receiver Ed McCaffrey and together they have four adult sons, all of whom still play or coach football. Her second oldest—NFL All Pro running back Christian McCaffrey—is her only college dropout.
So yeah, we’re moms, and yeah, it’s hard. And honestly, sometimes you wonder, how is this little person going to turn out? Sometimes with all the pressure, the lack of sleep, and keeping everyone’s schedules straight, you wonder, “Am I even doing this right?”
We’re here to tell you that every mom - even the most successful ones - have asked themselves that question. This show will help remind you that none of us actually have it figured out, because there’s no tried and true blueprint for how to raise a successful kid. So let’s talk about what sometimes works and what doesn’t. Let’s share stories, laugh at the absurdities, and make sure we are enjoying the wild, ever-evolving ride of parenthood.
