After six amazing years and 120 episodes, it’s time for us to say goodbye.

— With love, Kate, Jamie, and September

We’ve spent these years covering it all — raising littles, grandparenting, homeschooling, women’s health, pregnancy loss, discipleship, meal planning, personal care, and finding our true identity in Christ.

This podcast has been a journey we were honored to take with you.

The laughs, the tears, the real-life moments — we’re so thankful you shared them with us.

While we won’t be recording new episodes, the entire library — all 120 episodes — will stay online for you to listen to anytime you need encouragement or a reminder that you’re not alone.

Thank you for being part of our community.

We’ll miss you — but we hope these conversations keep walking with you. 💛

If our homes aren’t places of peace, where will our children ever learn how to resolve conflict, show empathy, and extend forgiveness? As moms, we see it daily—sibling squabbles, hurt feelings, and the challenge of guiding our kids through disagreements. But raising peacemakers isn’t about avoiding conflict—it’s about stepping into hard moments with the goal of restoration.

In this episode of Mom to Mom, September McCarthy, Kate Battistelli, and Jamie Erickson unpack what it means to cultivate hearts that seek harmony. We’ll talk about how to model peace in our own reactions, teach our children biblical conflict resolution, and equip them to stand firm in their faith while still leading with grace.

✔️ Practical ways to teach kids to resolve conflict with empathy and wisdom

✔️ How to balance peacemaking with standing firm in truth

✔️ Biblical principles for navigating disagreements with grace

✔️ Tools and phrases to guide kids through disagreements

It’s not always easy, but it is possible to raise peacemakers who reflect Christ’s love in a divided world. Tune in and let’s encourage one another in this calling!

As moms, we quickly learn that no two children are alike. Their personalities, giftings, and temperaments are uniquely wired by God. But as one person parenting multiple kids, how do we adjust our approach to meet each child’s needs without falling into favoritism, comparison, or frustration? In this episode, we’re exploring the balance of parenting each child uniquely while maintaining consistency, fairness, and grace. We’ll discuss how to recognize and respond to the differences in our children, the biblical foundation for individualized parenting, and practical ways to nurture and disciple each child according to their strengths. Because mothering isn’t a one-size-fits-all formula—it’s about truly seeing your child and parenting them in a way that honors the calling God has placed on their life.

✔️ Identify key differences in your children that should shape your parenting

✔️ Gain biblical wisdom on how God parents us uniquely

✔️ Avoid entitlement and bitterness among siblings

✔️ Learn practical ways to nurture each child individually

Join us for this encouraging conversation—because your kids don’t need a perfect mom, just one who sees and loves them well. 💛

Parenting is a delicate dance of holding on just tight enough while letting go where it matters most. In this week’s episode of the Mom to Mom Podcast, host Kate dives into the heart of this balance—loving our kids deeply without micromanaging their every move.

In this conversation, we’re exploring:

🌱 How to build trust and independence while letting go of micromanagement.

💬 Creative ways to nurture open communication without crossing into control.

Spiritual drift doesn’t happen all at once—it’s the little things, the subtle shifts, the busyness that sneaks in and quietly pulls our hearts, and sometimes our families, away from Christ. In Episode 116 of the Mom to Mom Podcast, September invites us to take a closer look at these small but significant moments and ask the big question: how can we keep our homes anchored in God’s truth amidst the chaos of life?

We talk about recognizing the quiet signs of spiritual drift, why seemingly small compromises—like skipped prayer times or misplaced priorities—can add up, and how we can create practical routines to keep faith alive in our homes. From morning devotionals to dinner-table conversations and even tech-free evenings, we’re breaking it all down into simple, actionable steps.

What happens if spiritual drift has already taken hold? We’re sharing grace-filled ways to lovingly guide your family back to Christ without shame or discouragement.

Mama, if you’ve ever felt like your family’s faith has been slowly fading, this episode is a gentle but powerful reminder: small, intentional steps can make all the difference. Let’s talk about how we can keep Christ at the center—one moment, one habit, one prayer at a time.

Let’s walk this journey together and pursue hearts and homes firmly grounded in God’s truth. 💛

How do we keep hope alive when our child’s path doesn’t look like the one we envisioned? In this week’s episode, we’re opening our hearts to the struggle of loving unconditionally and holding onto faith—even when our child questions, doubts, or drifts.

Here’s what we’re diving into:

💬 How do we balance unconditional love with firm, loving boundaries?

🙏 When hope feels fragile, what promises of God do we cling to?

🤲 Practical ways to surrender our children’s journey to God, trusting His plan.

With verses like 2 Peter 3:9 and 3 John 1:4 guiding us, this episode is a reminder that while we wait, God works. Even in the waiting, we’re not alone. 🌱

As our kids grow, their questions get bigger—about faith, identity, relationships, and even tough issues like loss or why there’s suffering in the world. These questions can catch us off guard, and sometimes, it’s hard to know the “right” answer.

In today’s episode, we’re exploring ways to navigate those big questions with sincerity and faith, turning challenging conversations into moments of growth.

How do we handle it when our kids ask questions about cultural issues, family, or faith? How do we respond when they bring up topics we ourselves may struggle to answer? As moms, we may not have all the answers, but we can guide them toward truth, listening deeply and responding thoughtfully.

1 Peter 3:15 reminds us to “always be prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.” This episode is about finding that hope together and creating an environment where our kids feel safe to ask and explore—even the hard questions.

Let’s grow together in these moments, making space for trust and understanding in every conversation. Join us for an honest talk about parenting through tough questions, and let’s encourage each other as we walk through it. 🌱
