This Flocked Up Life
This Flocked Up Life is the unfiltered, hilarious, and heart-centered podcast for moms who are over pretending it’s all Pinterest-perfect.

Whether you’re wiping butts, chasing teens, or crying in the car (no judgment here), this is your space to feel seen, supported, valued, and not so alone. Expect raw convos, a little “fowl” language, and a flock-ton of fun. Follow us and join the flock—we’re better (and louder) together.

Because let’s be honest… we say it all the time, even when we’re anything but.
In this episode, we’re unpacking what “I’m fine” really means, why we default to it, and how we can start checking in with ourselves (and each other) with more honesty and compassion.
