Say It Loud: Celebrating Mothers, Music, and Bold Futures

This week on the Waukee Podcast, we’re celebrating the heart of the season with stories of motherhood, music, mental health, and meaningful education. Jamie Thompson, better known as #WaukeeRealtorMom, joins us to share all the can’t-miss Mother’s Day events happening around town — from brunch spots to creative ways to celebrate the moms in your life. Plus, she gives us the rundown on live music lighting up Waukee and nearby communities this weekend. Whether you're planning family time or a fun night out, Jamie has your local guide.

Then we dive into impactful conversations with two incredible organizations. Cassie Serrata of Connect Therapy talks about her unique, trauma-informed approach to supporting families and children through healing relationships. And from Des Moines, Fig Newton and student entrepreneur Kiki Gbor of Empígo Academy share how this private Christian charter school is helping young people turn passion into purpose. Kiki’s story of launching her own business while applying what she learns in real-time is both powerful and hopeful. From Waukee to Des Moines, this episode showcases how connection, care, and community can shape brighter futures.
