Meant For This

My guest this week is Maddie Muhs. You may know her from her hilarious videos on Instagram. And if you don’t, do yourself a favor and give her a follow.

She brings the necessary humor to the world of motherhood that we all need in our life.

She is a mother of 2 kids under 3 and speaks the truth of how challenging this season of life can be at times. She is also an entrepreneur, content creator and business owner helping other women and moms create wealth by making money online.

We talk about:

• The pressure on women to do it all and be it all
• The importance of having a community as a parent
• How our children are our biggest mirrors into our own life
• The shifts that naturally come in your marriage after kids and A WHOLE BUNCH MORE.

This is an impactful conversation for every single parent out there.

I hope you enjoy this episode with Maddie Muhs.

Ohhh boy. This is an emotionallll one. 

My beautiful and sweet friend Shauna Dukes is here with me this week. Shauna is one of the strongest, most incredible humans I’ve ever met. She has an energy about her that makes you feel so seen exactly as you are. You would never know she’s carrying the heaviest trauma a mother could ever live through, the loss of a young child.

This is a conversation I believe every parent needs to hear. To feel these emotions, to understand this level of loss, and to walk away with a deep sense of gratitude for the time we all have RIGHT NOW.

Hope you enjoy this episode with Shauna Dukes.

Helloooo fam.

The baby daddy himself is back for part 2 of our monthly co-parenting series.

Jared and I dive into my birth story this week as we bridge the gap between some of my early challenges as a mom in relation to the day I brought our daughter into the world. 

We also talk about…

• How the exterior idea of perfection controlled a lot of my motherhood experience in the beginning.
• How I quietly struggled with the weight and exhaustion of trying to maintain the same sort of life I had before having a baby
• How Jared naturally fell into loving fatherhood
• And how important it is to set boundaries when you feel those intuitive pulls that something isn’t quite right

If you enjoyed our first 2 episodes together, I know you’ll like this one too.

She shares her story of navigating her own relationship betrayal as she was stepping into motherhood for the very first time, how that experience impacted her own self worth and how to find yourself again underneath the pain.

We talk about:

• Why so many women feel the need to perform in the bedroom
• Her coparenting and blended family dynamic and how she’s approached being a step mom
• Signs to look out for if you’re starting to question your relationship and how to tune into that inner voice that always knows the way

Fam!!!

This is such a good one. My real life baby daddy Jared Musser joins me today. If you haven’t listened to our first episode, go back and check out episode 9. We share super openly all the things that led to our divorce. It’s honest and real and very raw as we were in the thick of it not that long ago.

And because so many of you shared the impact it had and also wanting to hear more about our co-parenting journey, I decided to make this a regular thing.

Jared will be joining me once a month to talk all things relationships and co-parenting. I’m so proud of the way we’ve navigated this journey together, and of course still navigating and unpacking stuff as it comes up.

You’ll see that play out at the end of this episode as I work through some old patterns and stories in real time. 

And with that, I’m so excited to share this episode with Rebel’s dad, my real life baby daddy, Jared Musser.
