Mommy's on a Call | Wellness & Mindfulness for Modern Moms, Mindful Parenting, Entrepreneurship

Celebrating 3 years of podcasting (and 2 years as the Mommy's on a Call podcast). What started as the Power Mom Minute evolved into Mommy's on a Call. Flash forward 120 episodes, 2 more babies, a global pandemic and THREE years later, Mommy's on a Call has now reached thousands of listeners in over a dozen countries and is now ranked in the top 2% of podcasts globally. I'm not saying this to brag (although I am pretty proud of that), but more reflecting upon "what if I never launched?"

As I reflected back on the last 3 years, I started reflecting upon what I'm struggling with right now and what does now look like in this new season of motherhood.

And I want you to be part of this journey.

I want to know what are you struggling with right now? What can I help you with? What do you want to learn and hear more about? Because I want to bring that to you. I want to bring interesting guests and content that excites you.

I am so proud of the last 3 years of the show and I look forward to many more years to come!

So please, share this podcast with your friends, share it on social media, and help continue to get the word out there. And if you haven't left a review, please do that because reviews also help gain awareness on Apple Podcasts.

I appreciate all of your loyalty and for listening in even if this is your first episode or your 121th episode.
