Perfect moms and unicorns have one thing in common: They don’t exist.

That mantra has brought together a huge community of women who are sick of the judgmental bickering that plagues typical “mommy groups” on social platforms like Facebook.

This week on 2 Girls 1 Podcast, Alli and Jen (actors who perform weird internet content on stage) speak with Maria Hunt, the founder of Unicorn Moms, about her inspiration for starting a completely new kind of online support community for mothers. Spoiler alert: It involves a lot of drinking.

Hunt explains the rules of her invite-only group (which is 34,000 strong), and how it’s become a worldwide support system for women struggling to live up to the unrealistic standards of motherhood imposed online.
