**TRIGGER(w/sniffles & tears)WARNING**In this week’s episode, I have fellow Mama Brainer, author, AND podcaster, Nickie Rae! Nicki & I MAJORLY bonded over our VERY similar grief journeys! We discussed all the guilt, waves, triggers, and the processes, that comes with living with this grief.

***TRIGGER WARNING***In this week’s episode, I peels back those extra extra introverted layers… some probably caused by the shades of heartbreak I endured, alongside this Mama journey. I mentioned what I’ve learned, how each changed me, and how I’ll carry them, fondly, to help me evolve as a better HUMAN. I try to be as transparent (even page flipping & kiddos pounding downstairs can be heard lol) as I know I should be, when it comes to heartbreak. I’m telling my heartbreak story, the best way, my heart can: like a story.

In this week's episode-- I decided to create something different.. something to help us Mamas blow off some steam...after an already long week: Wine About It! I have my guests: sister Cherilyn, and old AF bffs Yazmin & Melissa! We decided to play NEVER HAVE I EVER, with wine of course. We learned quite new things from each other.. & laughed so hard, it made our faces hurt, a bit! Hoping to have WINE ABOUT IT WEDNESDAYS every quarter. Maybe we will hear all about YOU, next time?!

In this week’s episode, I have TWO amazing guests with me: brought my fellow Mama Brainer,Jenna back, & our friend Jake(both newlyweds!), to discuss the little and big things of singlehood, prior to our marriages & babies— that we sometimes miss. We mention(with too many laughs as our p*t kicked in) how our new lives & roles have shaped us, what we’ve given up, what we constantly compromise, and how we are all, still trying to learn to balance BOTH!

In this week’s LENGTHY episode, another amazing old friend, I have my guest, and fellow Mama Brainer, Bhavna! We discussed dealing with having our last baby in a Pandemic, overcoming the trauma of our births, and the many, many feelings & anxieties of maneuvering our last baby journey…while keeping our other kiddos happy & acknowledged! This LAST stop of motherhood feels different.. but it is loved, embraced, feared, and we are determined to stay happy with this life, regardless!

We also mention our feelings (& our kiddos’ feelings) with our stepmother roles, the sometimes difficult(or psychotic?) exes—& remembering, that through it all— we CHOSE THIS FAMILY, and we wouldn’t have it any other way!
