Join a powerful conversation with this phenomenal mother, Charlie Marcol, the COOLEST Author in Town! She and Tamara sit down and talk about  seeing motherhood as an assignment.  Charlie opens up about her journey as a single mom, what it means to break generational chains, and how healing our own wounds shapes the way we parent. Charlie is not only a mother, but a certified educator, an author and a passionate advocate for kids.

Through her creativity, Charlie is able to advocate for her students - making sure they see themselves in the literature that lines the walls of their classrooms. During this episode of Nailed It Motherhood Podcast, we talk about the importance of representation in children’s literature, the power of culturally responsive teaching, and how to make learning fun and meaningful for our kids. Charlie also drops gems on why literacy matters, how parents can advocate inside and outside the classroom, and why every child needs to understand the “why” behind what we ask of them.

This episode is a reminder that parenting is a marathon, not a sprint — and that our stories, voices, and advocacy can change the game for the next generation.

 In this episode of the Nailed It Motherhood podcast, host Tamara Eldridge welcomes Tiffany Mathias,  a mother, grandmother, and advocate for women and youth shares her powerful journey to finding her purpose in her 40s.  Tiffany opens up about not just breaking cycles of generational trauma, but healing mother-daughter dynamics through open communication, and living in her purpose beyond parenting. 

Tiffany's story reminds us that self-care is not only essential for effective parenting but it also plays a key role in our personal fulfillment. She emphasizes the importance of community support with women, the value of grace over self-judgment, and the need to prioritize our own needs without guilt. Tears, she notes, are a healthy expression of emotion, and restoration begins with acknowledging the past in order to build a better future.

Approximately 358,000 babies are born every day. 

One in 12 mothers experience preeclampsia.

One in 10 of those mothers DON'T know. 

Symptoms that are the same as regular pregnancy fatigue can easily be overlooked, but Nailed It Motherhood Podcast is thankful that it's humorous, lovely guest, Lisa Lopez, was taken seriously when she crashed into parenthood.   Since she knew nothing about this serious condition, for which the only cure is to push, she now makes it her goal to bring more awareness through laughter and social media.  Hear how Lisa's plans for Thanksgiving dinner turned  into a 10-day stay at the hospital and learn how she copes with that scare.
