Episode 7: “The Big Exhale: Summer, Sanity, and Saying It Anyway (Our Season One Finale)”

You know what’s harder than launching a podcast while working and raising kids? Wrapping up your first season while your kids are home for summer break. 😅

Season One of the PowerMomma Podcast was sometimes messy, unpolished, and exactly what I needed—and maybe what you needed, too. We let go of perfection, hit record anyway, and somehow found gold on the other side of the chaos.

Now, we’re wrapping it up with a big, collective exhale.

Because if we’ve learned anything, it’s this: You don’t need to have your sh*t together to say what needs to be said.

Summer’s here. The world’s on fire (again). The kids are home (always). And somehow, we’re still expected to feed them lunch and remain professionally relevant while pretending we’re fine. Cute.

This finale is your permission slip to take a breath, drop the guilt, and embrace the chaos—because if there’s one thing this season taught us, it’s that there’s gold on the other side of messy, honest conversations.

Inside this episode:

What recording live taught me about letting go of perfection (your “ums” won’t kill you)
.

What we learned this year about boundaries, self-care, and saying “hell yes”.

Why taking a walk with your ride-or-die is exactly what we all need.

If you’re a working mom juggling career, caregiving, and trying to stay connected to yourself without dropping everything on the floor—this one’s for you.

Take a breath, grab your coffee (or your wine), and let’s exhale together. #PowerMommaPodcast #WorkingMoms #SeasonFinale #RealTalk #MomLife #Leadership

Let’s walk and talk. 💛

Happy rest of summer with love, Sam & Tange

Episode 6: Menopausal AF: The Midlife Rebrand You Didn’t Ask For (But Totally Deserve)

Hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia—oh my. Welcome to the ultimate hormonal rodeo no one warned you about, and definitely the midlife rebrand you didn’t ask for (but totally deserve).

In this episode of the PowerMomma Podcast, host Sam and Tange take you on a real-talk, walk-and-talk journey through menopause with humor, honesty, and zero shame. We’re busting myths, breaking silences, and redefining midlife as a time of becoming, not disappearing.

✨ You’ll hear: – Why menopause isn’t a crisis, but a midlife awakening – The soul behind hot flashes, brain fog, and mood swings – Holistic ways of thriving—not just surviving – A real talk moment on puberty and perimenopause under one roof (spoiler: it’s a whole vibe) – Why you’re allowed to take up space, change, rest, and still become

Menopause doesn’t mean you’re washed up. It means you’re evolving, and you don’t have to do it alone. Grab your ice water and your sense of humor, and let’s rewrite this narrative together—one hot flash, one laugh, and one brave conversation at a time.

✨ If this episode resonates, share it with a friend, leave a review, and let’s keep supporting each other through every messy, magical season.

Let’s walk and talk. 💛

In this episode of the PowerMomma Podcast, we're taking it to the hill—literally and emotionally. Sam and Tangie are talking about the ride or die friends—the women who are always there for us.. who drop everything, answer the phone, pull over the car, and remind you of your power when life throws a punch.. real friends that are with you no matter what.

From messy tears to tough love, we're celebrating the sisterhood that holds us up when we’re too tired to stand. Sam shares a deeply personal story about a school setback for her twins—and how her inner circle showed up with open hearts, wisdom, and warrior woman energy.

Because sometimes it does take a village to raise a child—but it takes a sisterhood to raise a PowerMomma.

Live from the Hill – Saying "Hell Yes!" 

Welcome back to The PowerMomma Podcast! In this episode, we're taking it to the hill—literally. Join your hosts Samantha Hoey Nelson and Tange Rouse Ringo as we record live from beautiful, sunny Runyon Canyon, one of our favorite spots that gives us life and inspiration.

After getting a little serious last time, we're bringing the energy back with something fun and powerful: the "Hell Yes!" mindset. Inspired by the legendary Elaine Welteroth and her mantra, “If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a no,” we’re diving into what it means to make more intentional choices—especially as moms, creatives, and women balancing all the things. 

From showing up for ourselves, to nourishing ourselves and doing work that lights us up, to simply getting dressed in a way that makes us feel good—this episode is all about reclaiming your yes with joy, purpose, and power.

Tune in for real talk, laughs, a few of our furry tail wagging friends…

and the reminder you might need: you deserve to live a life full of "Hell Yes!" Let's Go! - Sam and Tange

In this heartfelt Mother’s Day episode, host Samantha Hoey Nelson goes solo to share the deeply personal story behind  PowerMomma  — and the unexpected power of a bold pair of green heels. From secondary infertility, surprise twins to an autism diagnosis x 2, Sam opens up about the messy, beautiful reality of motherhood and the moment she decided to stop just surviving and start reclaiming her strength. This is a love letter to every mom running on empty but still showing up. Raw, real, and full of heart — it’s a reminder that your story, your struggle, and yes, your heels, are your superpower.

Welcome to The Powermomma Podcast —  where two fierce moms are busy raising their daughters and themselves—into total badasses. Every week, we talk about how to channel your inner superhero (cape optional)  to empower your kids and step fully into the unapologetically strong woman you were always meant to be.

This is your reminder that your strength isn’t just for your kids—it’s for you, too.

This week, we’re talking boundaries—not as barriers, but as bridges to peace, purpose, and growth, and redefine what self-care really means.  We’re talking about setting them, breaking them, rebuilding them, and learning how to make use of them to better serve us and our needs.

We’re unpacking what it looks like to say no without guilt, fuel your energy without apology, and create space that actually supports you.

Because boundaries aren’t selfish— they’re sacred as hell. 
They’re not walls—they’re invitations to thrive. And we’re here for all of it.

So hit play, take a deep breath, and let’s talk about choosing you—powerfully, and on purpose. Also live from Runyon Canyon in Hollywood—We're takin it to the hill!

Welcome to PowerMomma, the podcast where two fierce moms are busy raising their daughters—and themselves—into total badasses. Every week, we talk about how to channel your inner superhero (cape optional) to raise strong kids and be the unapologetically strong women we were always meant to be. We dig deep and channel the strength we as women hold—not just for our kids, but for ourselves. We believe that motherhood isn't just about nurturing the next generation; it’s about empowering ourselves to be the strongest, most authentic versions of who we can be.

Let’s face it: motherhood is messy, exhausting, and full of "What did I sign up for?" moments. But it’s also the ultimate opportunity to discover how strong we can truly be. We’ll tackle everything from the chaos of work/life balance to our own adulting (which is honestly just a myth), navigating today’s crazy culture, daily issues, and the never-ending juggle of it all.

We’ll share stories, laugh through the tears, and serve up real talk, finding clarity in the chaos, and how to show up as your best self—even when you feel like a hot mess. Because guess what? Perfection is overrated.

So, if you’re ready to embrace your power, get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe even roll your eyes a little. Each episode will leave you feeling like you can take on the world—or at least the next meltdown. We’re here to remind you: You’ve got this. And together, we’re an unstoppable force.

Tune in and let’s raise ourselves up—because our kids deserve it, and frankly, so do we. Join us in our next episode as we tackle BOUNDRIES.. setting them, ignoring them, creating healthy ones.. in the world around us and with ourselves.

Welcome to PowerMama, the podcast where two fierce moms are raising daughters—and themselves. Every week, we dive into what it really means to channel your inner superhero (cape optional) and show up as the strong, authentic women we were always meant to be.

Motherhood is messy, magical, exhausting, and empowering all at once. It’s not just about raising the next generation—it’s about rising into our own power too. From the chaos of work-life "balance" (lol), to culture, identity, and those “what did I sign up for?” moments, we get real about the beautiful, complicated juggle of it all.

We laugh, we vent, we cry (sometimes all at once), and we’re not afraid to say what everyone’s thinking. Expect honest conversations, zero perfection, and lots of heart as we explore how to thrive—not just survive—this wild ride.

So if you're ready to tap into your power, reclaim your identity, and maybe even find some clarity in the chaos, PowerMama is your new go-to. Because our kids deserve it. And frankly? So do we.

Together we're unstoppable.
