A podcast where I talk about anything that I want. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll be inspired.
It's easy to get caught up in the routine of motherhood but how often do you take a step back and evaluate what's really going on? Why is your child really crying? Are you taking a moment for yourself to recalibrate? On this week's episode, I talk with Bree' Smith who is the founder of The Self Zone and all about mental health. We have a fun conversation about brain leaps, not yelling when your k...
Smart and dumb are usually terms tossed around while you're in school. If you make good grades, you're smart. If you make bad grades, you're dumb. But is that really the case though? On this week's episode, I talk about education and how it is not always about the letter grade.

I'm willing to bet that it's pretty natural for us to adhere to birth order theory which says that the order in which we are born affects our personality. But does it really though? On this solo episode, I put on my research hat and find out if birth order really does matter.

Did you know that once your child is born, there are 6,570 days until they turn 18? That may seem like a lot of time but remember that each day, that number gets lower and lower. Pretty soon you make it through year 1, then year 5, then 10 then boom! Your child turns 18. Time goes slow and fast at the same time. On this week's episode, I talk with Nellie Harden who is a family life and leadership coach all abou...
A lot of women start working out after pregnancy for the "snap back". To look snatched despite having a human come out of your body not too long ago is a major feat, right? Likewise, a lot of women can get discouraged because their body looks different after giving birth and working out isn't giving them the results that they want. But what if women, in postpartum, focus more on body function versus l...
You'll hear me say it time and time again: paid parental leave is essential. But even though paid leave is important, it is not the only aspect of support that should be looked at for parents post partum. On this week's episode, I had the pleasure of talking with Dr. Amy Beacom (founder and CEO of Center for Parental Leave Leadership) and Sue Campbell (Communications Director for the Center for Parental Le...
Welcome back to another season of Weird Mom. It's the 6th season and final season of 2021. On this, the season premier, I talk about a video from one of my favorite YouTube channels: Jubilee. The video is part of one of their most popular series, Middle Ground, and it brings together strict parents and free range parents to see if if there is, indeed, some middle ground between the two. I also share my take on ...

Success and failure seem to be black and white. You either succeed tremendously or fail horribly. No one talks about the in between of learning to fail and getting back up to try again. On this week's episode, I talk to Julie Carrick Dalton about how working on her novel, Waiting for the Night Song, taught her the importance of keeping on the path of perseverance, even when rejection keeps hitting you in the fa...
Here's a myth: you can have a balanced mom life, especially if you have a partner.

On this week's episode, I got to talk with the hilarious Clare all about this and more.

Everyone does life at their own pace and parenting is no exception to that rule. On this week's episode I talk to Dr. Siobhan Kennedy-Costantini all about how parenting is not a sprint; it's a marathon and most times it's best to stay in your own lane.

There's a song by Faith Hill called "A Baby Changes Everything" and, newsflash, it does! But it's not necessarily a bad thing but it certainly can be a shock to the system, even for the most prepared of people. This week I talk to my friend Sharron about the many evolutions that happen in such a short amount of time when her child was born.

Everyone always says a baby changes everything but, like, how? And why don't we ever feel completely like ourselves again once we have kids? That's because we are having to get to know the new us. On this week's episode, I talk with my friend Michaelene Johnson about transitions into motherhood and figuring out who this new person is that we are evolving into.
