Welcome back to another inspiring episode of The Talk Mommy to Me Podcast! Today, you'll get to know the incredible Sara, who became a mom at just 16 years old.

This one goes deep and is super powerful. I could have talked with her for hours more and she shared a value bomb toward the end that I will carry with me moving forward. 

Sara shares her unique perspective and insights from the challenges and joys of motherhood, from her teenage years to the present day (and how motherhood has been different the second and third times around).

She talks candidly about the struggles she faced as a young mom - and the victories, as well. 

Despite the obstacles she encountered, Sara never gave up and continued to push forward with determination and resilience. 

She offers invaluable advice on how to tune into your own wisdom as a mom how to thrive in motherhood, no matter what your circumstances may be.

Whether you're a new mom or have been parenting for years, trusting your own voice, following your own lead, and being guided by your own inner compass is something we moms need to be reminded of.

So, tune in now and get ready to be inspired by Sara's incredible story and the lessons she's learned along the way!

Connect with Sara by listening to her podcast, Circle of Fire and following along on Instagram.

Thanks for listening, mama.

Let's show the world that mom life is the best life together. <3

I just loved this conversation, and I know you will, too.

On this Mommy on the Mic segment of the Talk Mommy To Me Podcast, we have Elissa, a full-time working mom of two young children. 

Elissa and I align when it comes to many aspects of parenting, and I really appreciated how she flows through her day by creating structure where it's needed and making room for adventures, too.

She emphasizes the importance of being intentional in everything she does, from how she spends her free time to how she interacts with her children, husband, and coworkers.

Elissa is a procurement manager for a biotechnology company, while her husband, who was a chef for his entire career, stays at home with their kids. 

In this episode, Elissa shares her unique perspective on motherhood and how she manages her daily routine.

We also cover:

• The importance of having your own parenting style and the self-reflective process of figuring out what works best for you and your children
• Setting clear rules and boundaries for children and following through with them
• How to determine whether a rule is worth enforcing, and how to communicate with one's partner to present a united front
• The importance of tuning into your likes and preferences to create a home life you truly enjoy 
• Being present at home after a long workday - keywords: boundaries and expectations!

She talks about the small moments of joy she finds in her everyday life and how she takes care of herself, too! Spoiler alert: she's also training for a veryyyy long endurance race!

If you want to hear from a mom who has a lot on her plate, but doesn't let the demands of life get the best of her, this is for you.

So, let's dive in and learn how to approach motherhood in a grounded yet adventurous way that creates a united and fulfilling family dynamic!

Thanks for listening, mama.

On this episode , we have the pleasure of hearing from Kristina, a mom of one whose son has left the nest and is embarking on his own adventures. Kristina shares her journey to motherhood, from struggling to conceive and her unique (and groundbreaking) IVF experience, to loving motherhood, and then ultimately losing her husband and becoming a single mother.

Despite the challenges she's faced, Kristina remains positive and uplifting, using her struggles to inspire and encourage other moms. She shares her wisdom and insight, as well as some great tips for moms of younger children (one of the tips she shared has helped me DAILY since we talked).

One of the highlights of the episode is Kristina's reminder to herself to parent with grace and compassion. Her words are sure to resonate with moms everywhere and provide inspiration for those facing their own challenges.

Tune in as this episode is a reminder that moms are brave and capable of handling whatever challenges come their way. It encourages moms to find their strength in their own abilities and to trust that their children will be okay!

On this episode, we dive into:

• Her decision to go from working mom to stay at home mom and how that affected her and her family
• The daily rhythm in her household now that she's home full time

You're going to feel seen in this conversation and really enjoy Maya!

Mamas, today we have one of my dearest mom friends, Greer. 
Greer is a mom of two little girls, 4 and now JUST turned 2. They're off the charts cute!

We became mamas on the very same day, just 40 minutes apart, as our first babies serendipitously share the same birthday. 

Becoming a mom with Greer was truly special, and it's a bond that keeps us close today, even though we now live a few hours apart and don't get to see each other often.

In this heart to heart episode, Greer and I talk about
-Her experiencing working from home during Covid, and managing having the kids home full time throughout
-What self care looks like for her and how that's evolved as her kids grew
-How she handles stress, what surprises her about motherhood, and the best advice she's gotten

We also do discuss pregnancy loss, which I know is such a tender topic for so many, so just be aware heading into this one. <3 

Greer is a gem of a friend and a fab mom, and I can't wait for you to get a glimpse into her day-to-day and into her mama heart!

Thanks for listening, mama.

Meet Aimee, my incredible sister-in-law.

Aimee is a mom of three boys (two teenagers and one in his twenties) and you NEED to hear this episode.

Aimee's kids not only adore her...but really respect her. She's managed to find this sweet spot of being super close and affectionate with her boys...but maintaining her boundaries and keeping her standards high about how her kids treat her, one another, and others. It's truly inspiring and total mom goals.

In this episode, I chat with Aimee about how she's created that balance, and her tips for moms of younger kids so we can cultivate that sort of relationship. We talk about self care, about communication within the family, about her transition from working mom to homeschool mom to back again, and about challenges she's faced in parenting and how she's overcome them.
You're going to love Aimee and appreciate her insight, her amazing laugh, and her perspective on motherhood. This one is a gem. Show Aimee some love!

Thanks for listening, mama.

Happy Valentine's Day...or should I say GALentine's Day?
This episode is full of love, because I have my brilliant friend and coworker, Kelly, on the mic.
To know Kelly is to love Kelly. If you're a client of ours, you already adore her (even when she's kicking your butt in a workout!) Kelly has one of the best smiles I've ever encountered, and carries her kind spirit wherever she goes.
But that's not to say she hasn't faced struggles.
In this episode, Kelly opens up about her experience with secondary infertility and what it's been like navigating motherhood without her own mom, as she passed away when she was in high school.

This is a heartwarming, touching conversation and I cannot wait for you to get to know Kelly!

Connect with Kelly on Instagram here. She shares tons of great fitness, nutrition, and motherhood content and is an all around gem to follow.

Self care....we NEED to talk about it.

Maybe the topic of self care makes you cringe...again with the self care?!!
Perhaps it's just another item on your to-do list you "should" be doing.
It could be that the thought of self care sounds more like a fantasy than anything!

It's time to rethink self-care altogether, and in this episode I am sharing two shifts that are going to totally reframe how you view self care so you can actually tap into a spa-like self care oasis anywhere, anytime. Plus, I'm going to give you some ideas and strategies to take better care of yourself, and we'll get to the heart of why self care (the version I share with you) is central to ditching the hot mess mom identity and thriving in your day-to-day life.

If you're a mama looking to feel empowered, respected, and even SPOILED, this is the episode for you. 

Thanks for listening, mama.
