A Mommy And A Mic

AI is here, y'all! And what are we going to do about it? I will be the first to admit, my mind flashes to the "Terminator" and "I-Robot" since I grew up on those movies. And yes, I was born before the internet. So, some of this stuff seems so futuristic! How are we actually here in 2025?

In this episode, my guest, Megan Bartholow, Mechanical Engineer, gets to work with robots all day. She eloquently explains how AI can be used in daily life. But does it malfunction easily, or is it reliable? And who is talking on the other end of connection? Or is it really just the computer? All these questions and more will be answered.

Come with me to take a closer look at how AI can work for you in your busy Mom Life. Will I be convinced to try AI by the end of this episode? Tune in to find out, right here on, A Mommy and a Mic!

Special thanks to my guest Megan Bartholomew for taking the time to sit down with me and share such amazing information with all of us!

In this episode I get the pleasure to sit down with Conny Wade of Wade Wellness. Fun Fact: We recorded over Zoom and she was on a cruise ship as we did it! As long as you have good Wi-Fi, anything is possible!

In this conversation, Conny explains how to figure out why you may be feeling tired, sluggish or just "off," even though your doctor says all your bloodwork is within normal range. She shares how she tests for things that conventional doctors just don't consider.

We also take a dive into the world of health insurance and how you can take a different approach for you and your family. It is great to hear from someone who has actually "opted out" of the system and has found another way. Grab a cup of coffee, tea or go get that load of laundry started, as we dive into all of it, right here on "A Mommy and a Mic!"

And we are back to our "Amazing Women Series" here at a Mommy and a Mic! It is my pleasure to interview Gwen Forlizzi, a local non-profit owner and longtime friend. We first connected in the Mommy Group I joined when I first moved to Pennsylvania and kept crossing paths ever since! 

In this episode, we talk about how she supports women in the surrounding cities. Specifically, those who may leaving an abusive relationship, with their children and only the clothes on their backs. Learn how it all started, what she does, and how you can help support this amazing cause!

Gwen is one of my "Amazing Women" because she coordinates and executes multiple fundraisers throughout the year to support her foundation, all while raising her 5 children!

We interrupt this program of "Amazing Women Series" for an important message from a man: Court Creeden. But don't worry ladies, he is on our side! This is a pressing issue in our society right now and this message could not wait!

If you are raising a boy, who will become a man, a husband, and one day a father, you need to hear this male perspective. Court Creeden sheds a new light on what is going wrong in society and why. 

Do you ever feel angry and don't know what to do about it? Always have stress or unsettling feelings but can't explain it? We go deep, to find out how we can be better, as people. And create a calmer, more joyful generation by raising good men. 

Join the conversation. Boy moms, listen to it first. Then bring on your husband to hear the male perspective. We all need to understand these dynamics so we can do better. Listen with an open mind, lead with your heart, and let's do this together!

Special thanks to Court Creeden for taking the time to do this amazing podcast. Connect with him on Instagram or Tik Tok @CourtCreeden

Charlie Kirk: I did not know him personally. I knew of him and his work. I thought he was doing a lot of good with his courage to speak. He had confidence in what he was saying. And he possessed this uncanny ability to discuss any topic with openness and respect. His words are continuing to change the world, even after his death. 

This is not a political podcast by any means. Anyone can listen. I am offering a different perspective of what is going on in the world today. Let us stop and take a moment to assess the state of America. The state of the world. Let us look within. How can "I" make it better? I am only one person. 

Did you ever read that story about the starfish? Where there were hundreds of starfish washed up on the shore. And a little boy was throwing them back into the ocean one by one. The mom asked, "Why are you even bothering throwing them back into the ocean? You can't possibly reach them all! It doesn't matter." The little boy answered, "I know, Mom. But it matters to this one," as he holds up the starfish in his hand and throws it into the ocean.

As a Boy Mom, I feel a special responsibility to know that how I raise my son matters to him, his future wife, and certainly matters to society. Let us come together and do more to support our sons. Do more to build better men. Perhaps it starts with us.

(I will discuss these in the next season, as it was quite a journey for me.) But thankfully, I am on the other side of it now and so happy to release these episodes. I sincerely thank you for being so gracious and patient with me!

Shannon Martin supports women in a way that I never could. I admire her for being a doula and running her own business called "The Homemaking Doula." We talk about all things motherhood and how it takes a village! She has an amazing outlook and gives us the inside scoop of going from Registered Nurse in a hospital setting to helping women birth at home.
