Ladies and Gentlemen.... Her. We loved having the moment to sit down with our mom and talk about life, raising us, growing up and just all the things. We laugh & we cry and it's just a good time over here. We hope you enjoy getting to know our family and take away from this podcast why Lauren and Steph are her favorite children. Please bear with us as we perfect this remote podcast set up. We will be tweaking things these first few episodes but we are on the way to premium audio. ✌🏽🖤 -Steph & Laur

Season 2 is here! So excited to be back with new studio equipment, a new show format and OF COURSE a new AMAZING co-host! My sister Lauren has joined the As Told By Moms team and I couldn't be more excited. We are going to be sharing our lives and our families this season and also adding TV recaps for our favorite shows we watch together and new segment called "I love that for you" where we celebrate wins from our listeners and one another. Thanks for being on this journey with us! Hope you enjoy episode 1.

Always love sitting down with Lauren to chit chat. We made the decision to continue the conversation together on mental health and therapy. Putting yourself first is priority. What does that look like for you? I hope you enjoy this episode and take away something good from it. Don't forget to follow us on Instagram @AsToldByMoms.

Have you ever heard the term hypnobirthing? I literally had no idea what this even was before sitting down to chat with Bree about her unmedicated birth story. The funny thing was that this was the furthest from my own experience of having 3 c-sections with ALL the medication you can think of. I honestly was so intrigued and in awe of Bree's story. Our hope is that if you are currently thinking about your own birth plan we hope that you can use this as a positive story. If you are listening and thinking "this could not be me" that is ok too! The goal at the end of the day is for a healthy mama and a healthy baby. Everyone's journey is unique to them and we love that for you. Here are some resources for your own research.

Glad to have my husband back on the podcast talking about being together for 10 years. How did a decade go by that quick? I can't believe it's been already 10 years since my husband and I became boyfriend and girlfriend at my birthday dinner. I am so grateful for the up's and down's that we have faced together. I will be forever grateful that God brought us together. I love you handsome! #ComeWhatMay

Sitting down and hearing the perspective of a teacher left me in tears as soon as the the mics were turned off. When the pandemic hit I grew an appreciation for teachers that I had never experienced before. I loved this conversation so much and I can only hope that you take away something when you listen. Grab your pen and paper and take some notes! Summer is out but we don't stop learning. Resources are available here and also on our Facebook page and Instagram.
