Mom Dump

Welcome back! 🤎 In this episode, we’re celebrating milestones, reflecting on how much we’ve grown, and reminding ourselves that it’s okay to slow down and take a break.

We’re getting real about the ups and downs of parenting, navigating the challenges that come with motherhood, and learning to give ourselves a little more grace along the way. Because sometimes we get so caught up in the day to day that we forget to stop, look back, and appreciate just how far we’ve come.

Here’s your reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out. We’re all learning, growing, and figuring out this parenting journey one day at a time. 🤍

Turning 35 has me thinking about… well, everything.

In this episode, I’m talking about what it feels like to hit a new milestone and realize you’re not the same person you were a few years ago. I’m doing a little life audit. Looking at what still fits, what doesn’t, and what I actually want this next chapter to look like.

We’re also getting into the evolution of friendships as we get older: why some friendships shift, why conflict can feel so complicated, and why understanding love languages might matter just as much in our friendships as it does in romantic relationships.

This episode is about getting older, navigating change and uncertainty, outgrowing old versions of yourself, and learning to trust where you’re headed, even when you don’t have it all figured out yet.

If you’ve been feeling like you’re somewhere between who you used to be and who you’re becoming, this one’s for you. 🤍

Back-to-school season always feels like a fresh start, this year, I’m feeling it too.

In this episode of MOM DUMP, I’m talking about embracing the chaos that comes with back-to-school, trying to find balance when routines are changing, and pushing myself to try something new… including officially video recording the podcast (which is equal parts exciting and uncomfortable 😅).

We’re talking new beginnings, messy routines, getting outside your comfort zone, and the reminder that we don’t need to have everything perfectly figured out before we start.

What are the things you hope your kid(s) know before life has the chance to teach them the hard way?

In this episode of Mom Dump, I’m sharing five lessons I desperately want my daughter to carry with her as she grows up about confidence, self-worth and knowing who she is.

Some of these are lessons I’ve learned myself through experience, heartbreak, growing up, and becoming a mom.

Because more than anything, I want my daughter to grow up knowing that she never has to shrink herself to be loved, chase people who don't choose her, or lose herself trying to fit in.

These are the things I hope she knows long before she needs to learn them.

Motherhood has a funny way of making you question everything, even yourself.

In this episode of  MOM DUMP we're talking about what confidence really looks like as a mom. From the impossible expectations we place on ourselves to the constant comparison that comes with social media, this conversation is an honest look at why so many moms feel like they're never doing enough.

We also dive into the bittersweet reality of watching our parents age, how motherhood changes with every season of life, and why it's okay if the version of you today doesn't look like the version you imagined years ago.

In this episode, I’m joined by Alanna (@lettersfromlanna) for an honest, heartfelt conversation about the parts of motherhood we don’t talk about enough.

We dive into what happens when you lose your sense of play, how motherhood can completely transform your identity, and the messy, beautiful journey of finding yourself again. We also chat about postpartum mental health, healing, the importance of having a strong support system, embracing emotional vulnerability, balancing creativity with the everyday demands of motherhood, and how community (both online and offline) can remind us that we’re never doing this alone.

This episode feels like sitting down with a friend over coffee, full of laughs, real talk, and those "me too" moments every mom needs. 🤍

When I first became a mom, I used to roll my eyes every time someone praised a dad for changing a diaper or taking the baby for an hour. Meanwhile, moms were doing all the same things and somehow it was just expected.

In this Father's Day episode, I'm talking about how my perspective has changed over the years. We dive into why parenting isn't actually 50/50, what true teamwork looks like after kids, and why I think millennial dads deserve more credit than they're often given.

From reading parenting books to breaking generational cycles and being emotionally present, today's dads are showing up in ways that look very different from previous generations.

This episode is a love letter to the dads who are trying, learning, growing, and showing up every day, even when nobody's watching.

Happy Father's Day! 🩷

What happens when we stop calling kids "bullies," "bad kids," or "troublemakers" and start looking deeper?

In this episode, I'm unpacking the impact of the labels we place on children. One mistake, one difficult season, or one bad choice can become part of a person's identity when it's repeated often enough.

I'm also sharing my own experience with judgment. How criticism, gossip, and negativity slowly made me lose confidence in my voice, and what it's looked like to find it again. Because while judgment doesn't always disappear as we grow older, our relationship with it can change.

This is a conversation about growth, confidence, compassion, and learning how to show up authentically even when you know people might have something to say about it.

If you've ever felt misunderstood, judged, or held back by what others think of you, this one's for you. 🩷

On this episode of Mom Dump - We’re talking all about our trip, from missing yet another flight and my honest Disney experience. Plus… I ate ALLIGATOR for the first time !

Also diving into that weird “coming home blues” feeling after vacation. You know the feeling.. when real life hits again and you’re left unpacking suitcases and emotions.

It’s funny, honest, slightly unhinged, and basically feels like a voice note !

Lately, I haven’t been feeling 100% .. & instead of trying to fix it or push through, I’m learning how to just sit in it.

In this episode, I’m opening up about where I’ve been mentally, what it looks like to give yourself permission to not feel okay all the time, and the weird mix of emotions that comes with it.

We also get into:
– Anticipating an upcoming family vacation (excitement… with a side of stress)
– My personal travel horror stories that honestly still haunt me
– And what I really wish I could go back and tell myself as a first-time mom

This one’s a mix of real, reflective, and a little chaotic, just like motherhood!
