Mama's Got the Mic

After taking some time away, Mama’s Got the Mic is back—and this time, we’re going deeper. In this comeback episode, I’m opening up about motherhood, how my journey led me back to Jesus and the church, and the changes I’ve experienced along the way.
We’re also taking a nostalgic trip back to the 90s and talking about what it means to raise kids in today’s world of smartphones, social media, AI, and nonstop technology.
This is a new chapter—more honest conversations, real motherhood, faith, culture, and a little bit of that 90s magic we’re all missing.
