• SAHM Life Isn’t Glamorous
    Jun 13 2022

    In this episode, I want to remind everyone that SAHM life truly isn’t glamorous. It is frustrating, disgusting, overwhelming, and challenging every single day. You’re saying “yes” to so much more than the “fun” aspects of being home with your children. The internet has a way of wrapping the modern-day role of homemaking into a pretty little package that looks quiet, cozy, neat, calm, and beautiful. Are there moments of that? Absolutely! But a full-time mother's role is definitely NOT neat, calm, or quiet. Let’s have a chat about the importance of understanding what we are saying yes to and why you chose this role. Warning: Many poop stories that will surely give you a belly laugh in this one, my friend.

  • Play-Based Learning with Justine and Cynthia of Learn + Live Letter
    Jun 9 2022

    Wait! Are we talking about learning when summer JUST started? Yup! We sure are. These incredible women, Justine and Cynthia, have created play-based, hands-on unit studies which are absolutely perfect for:

    • Those who are interested in summer learning and activities for their children
    • Mamas who are already diving into next year’s curriculum options
    • Parents who are considering homeschooling after this past school year but aren’t sure where to start
    • SAHMs who have young kiddos at home that won’t be old enough for a school outside of the home
    • Their unit studies are for children ages 3 through 12, PLUS they offer guidance to the parents as well!  


    I loved my conversation with these ladies and can’t wait for you to hear their passion for helping mamas and families find joy in hands-on and play-based learning.

    Grab a cozy beverage and join us!

  • Scrolling to Connect VS. Compare
    Jun 6 2022

    In this episode, I wanted to dive into the topic of scrolling. Yes, scrolling. It sure feels like this topic is discussed a lot, doesn’t it? Maybe that’s because it’s a topic where so many women struggle! We use it as an escape while justifying how we stay connected as isolated SAHMs.

    It’s time to ask yourself if you’re scrolling to connect truly, or if you’re scrolling to compare. Compare what you have or don’t have. Compare what you believe or don’t believe. Compare what you feel or don’t feel. Compare how you look, how your house looks, and how your family looks in the eyes of others. Social media can be a wonderful tool to reach people all across the world. But, it’s time to ask yourself the “why” behind the thumb scroll.

  • How to Live a Frugal Yet Full Life with Frugal Friends Podcast co-host, Jen Smith
    Jun 2 2022
    Ladies! I am so excited to introduce you to this incredible expert who is not only the co-host of the top-rated podcast, Frugal Friends, but also the author of two best-selling books! I’m over the moon to bring personal finance expert Jen Smith to this community in hopes of providing you with yet another awesome resource for those tough problems you’re trying to tackle in life.

    As SAHMs, we often manage our households on a single income. I’m always looking for ways to save a buck (preferably two) and cut back on spending while still trying to live a full life at the moment without feeling consumed with guilt when it comes to actually spending money. Is it wise to always buy cheap items? Where do we start with a basic budget? How do you navigate tough conversations around spending habits when an individual's upbringing determines their perspective on money? Can you live an abundant, full life while being frugal? What does it mean to be “frugal” anyways? All of these questions (and more) are answered in this educational and insightful podcast episode. Grab your cozy beverage! P.S. you’ll want a pen and paper for this one.

  • Shift Your Focus From What You Didn’t Accomplish to What You DID Accomplish
    May 30 2022

    This episode is all about shifting our mindset and negative thoughts in order to be more fulfilled. We all have the never-ending “to-do list,” whether it’s sitting on your counter, posted on the fridge, or built up in your mind. Valuing your self-worth based on your productivity will absolutely lead to low self-esteem, de-value your role, and lead to mom burn-out at an astronomical rate. Trust me; I’ve been there.

    One of the fastest ways to find joy and fulfillment in your day is by shifting your focus from what you didn’t accomplish that day to what you DID accomplish. Our accomplishments often don’t align with our to-do lists as SAHMs, but that doesn’t mean our efforts and intentions are any less valuable or worthy of pride and positive vibes. Are you basing your joy and measuring whether or not you had a good day by how many things you were able to check off “the list” that day? Trust me girl; I’ve been there. In fact, I share a story that happened recently around this very topic. Grab a cozy beverage and join me! Let’s grow together!

  • The Challenge of Motherhood with Multiple Littles
    May 23 2022

    In this episode, I want to address a specific question from a sweet mama listener who is going through the same challenges all of us have or will be going through…life with multiple littles. The heaviness of life as a SAHM with two littles and the challenges this brings is something I know all too well. As many of you know, this was my rock-bottom moment. This was when I was forced to make little changes that had a big impact. What do we do to get through this tumultuous time? What steps can we take to get off this island of desolate isolation? How do we thrive in this time when we feel like we’re merely surviving? I hope this episode helps another mama get back on her feet, understand her worth, and know her feelings are heard.

  • Shine a Light on Neurofibromatosis with Christa Castanon
    May 19 2022

    May is NF Awareness Month, and in doing my part to “Shine a Light on NF,” I want to bring you a conversation I shared on the podcast this time last year with my sweet friend Christa Castanon. Christa and I both have children with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 or NF1. In this episode, we chat about:

    • The importance of finding a community and the ability to create your own.
    • Supporting other moms with children of special needs.
    • The fear, the struggles, and the beauty of parenting children with special needs.
    • Finding self-care in times when your child and family are demanding your utmost attention.

    This episode is not just for mamas with children of NF. It’s an episode for ALL mamas because even if you don’t have a special-needs child, chances are good you know someone who does. As I am re-releasing this episode, Christa and her daughter Cataleya (Cat) are going through a very challenging, scary, and unknown time. Cat’s midbrain tumor has grown, and she recently went through a brain biopsy procedure. Their family needs all of our support and consideration at this time. I only ask that you help by educating yourself for a few moments on this rare disease.
