I'm a Mom?!
Becoming a mom is the single most transformative experience a woman could go through. This is a podcast that I wish I heard when I got pregnant. We talk about how priorities, finances, values, and lifestyle, change - a lot. At least, it did for me. I am not your typical blonde, blue-eyed, fit, young, mormon mom influencer with 5+ kids (I just have 2), so maybe you can relate to me a little more....! This is a real, raw, and relevant podcast for moms everywhere to be encouraged, feel seen, informed, and have some laughs on the way!
S2 EP 7 - Having a Baby Will 'Ruin' My Life?
These were actually my thoughts as a young woman in my teen/early twenties. I really did think that having a baby would ruin my career and my life. Family wasn't a huge priority. Can you relate?
And then I became a mom 3 years ago and I have realized how incredibly toxic this line of thought is, and I explore where the heck this came from in this episode.

'Mental load' has been thrown around a lot lately, and I 100% can relate. We all suffer. In this episode we talk through the massive transformation of mental load pre vs post mom, the intense but finite season of it, and potential ways to lessen the load.

S1 EP5 - Slipping through my fingers: If I could Freeze Time
Time seems to always slip through my fingers, even while I am spending the most time I've ever had with my girls. Becoming a mom has made me think of mortality in a completely different way, and I'm disciplining myself to be more present daily so I can make the most of this precious season.

S1 EP4 - MOM GUILT: Will I Ever Be Free?
Mom guilt seems like something we all suffer from. I struggled with little guilts, big guilts and everything in between - from the lack of baby nursery to sending my first to daycare at 4 months 9hrs a day. Can we ever be free from mom guilt? Why do we feel guilty? Is guilt always a bad thing?
Have an open conversation with me about this!
