Tired eyes, full heart, messy bun, CAN’T LOSE—welcome to the season you’re in.

In this Call Waiting mini-episode, Amey (IBCLC), Lauren (labor nurse), and Charity (bodyworker) dive into the ever-changing seasons of motherhood with a caller—because everything truly is just a season. From sleepless nights to joyful milestones, Charity, Lauren, and Amey remind us that while the days may feel long, the years are short—and undoubtedly messy. Together, they share personal stories, honest reflections, and practical insights on navigating chaos with grace, prioritizing what really matters, and letting go of the myth of perfect balance. Because let’s be real, motherhood has no balance—just snacks, mayhem, and love.

The conversation also shines a light on the importance of self-care, mental health, and building a supportive community. And because self-care isn’t all green juice and yoga, we share our favorites: terrible reality TV, spicy books, and those everything showers that feel like a mini vacation. Whether you’re in a season you love or one that feels impossibly hard, this episode is here to remind you that you’re not alone, it’s okay to ask for help, and that your kids will remember the simple, loving moments most.

Tune in for encouragement, laughter, and a gentle reminder to embrace the mess, lean on your people, and find joy in the journey.

• Finding balance is a myth; focus on what matters.
