All the mom duties like running to sports, budgeting, planning/cooking meals, grocery shopping, cleaning, birthday parties, cleaning, then more cleaning... it feels impossible to keep up!

Queue Heather Schulte! Samantha and Nikki brought in "Time Management and Planner Expert" (or so they call her), Heather Schulte, to share her top pick for a calendar planner, along with best practices she uses to keep up with all the things. You'll leave with great tips and a few laughs, all while falling in love with Heather! She is just about the sweetest and most loyal person we know.

Matt and Brittney join Samantha and Nikki to share an inspiring story of how they successfully conquered drug addiction together as a couple. Like many others struggling with addiction, theirs started in childhood and took nearly 15 years to break free. They discuss the harrowing realities of drug abuse, the challenges they faced together, and the transformative power of finding God amidst the chaos.

We hope their story touches your heart as much as it did us - that no matter what we face, if we look to God, He will rescue us! "Those who look to him are radiant." - Psalm 34:5

Tune in as Tabatha Burkhart shares her beautiful life testimony - one where her difficult childhood did not define her future. It's a story of redemption, ashes to beauty, and dark to light. Tabatha is a gifted speaker who is sure to make you laugh, but best of all, she loves the Lord and she is on fire for Him! God has brought her out of the depths of the pit, and she wants everyone who hasn't yet experienced God to find Him to, "taste and see that the LORD is good." Psalm 34:8.

We hope her testimony brought you encouragement and freedom if you too came from difficult beginnings. Thanks for listening!

As Christians we are supposed to walk by faith and not by sight - but when the rubber meets the road, do we? Well, not really, if we are speaking honestly.

Meet Nancy Davis. Nancy's 15 month old son had a near-death drowning experience and she is here to spread the good news about God and that miracles still really do exist! Nancy's story of faith, hope and community is sure to inspire you, reinvigorate your faith and leave you with confidence that the Lord does what He says He'll do - to never leave us, nor forsake us!

Her story also reaffirms why showing up for others is so vital when people are hurting and facing mountainous trials.

Nancy, we are so honored that you said yes to this podcast and we are confident it will touch so so many people! Also, special thanks to Dr. Brett Winchester for this podcast recommendation. :)

Remember, no matter what situation you or your family faces, "Do not fear, only BELIEVE!" Mark 5:36.

Thanks for listening!

You'll be shocked - we were too - when we heard Deli share the hidden truth's about raising her son with Type 1 Diabetes. From the initial scare and diagnosis, to caretaking for her son, Deli reveals what a day in the life really looks like behind the scenes - a constant awareness of her son's blood sugar levels from morning, until night (and even throughout the night!). From monitor glitches, to low sugar level scares, to living every day ensuring your child's life is in tact. Can you ladies even imagine?!

Deli we are so proud of you! You are a true example of what a mother's sacrifice and unwavering love looks like. Even when you are tired, EXHAUSTED, weak and weary, you still pick your head up off that pillow and keep going each and every new day. Thank you so much for stepping out of your comfort zone to spread awareness! We hope that this podcast helps another momma going through the same trial, or helps other women learn how to show up better when someone faces this very difficult disease. We love you Deli!

Thanks for listening!

Most of us think of ourselves as good, loving and supportive to our families and our friends, but there are just some people in the world knit differently, ones whose selfless acts would make our own lives seem, well, a tad selfish.

Meet Anh-Thu Paramathas! From fleeing for her life in the Vietnam at age three, to moving to America, finding a faithful man and raising five amazing children, to opening their home to multitudes of people over the years including many kids and also foster children. While many of us may fail to achieve this level of selflessness and sacrifice, we do believe here at Aligned Mommas that we women need to step up and show up better for one another!

We hope Anh-Thu has encouraged you to show up for someone today.

(p.s. if you tuned in to Episode 24: A Candid Convo with a College Student with Cynthia, Anh-Thu is her mother)
