  • Parenting Reflections: My Top 10 Parenting Revelations: Lessons from a Decade of Motherhood

    In this special Parenting Reflections episode, I’m sharing something close to my heart – 10 truths I’ve discovered in my first decade of motherhood. As my oldest just turned 10, I’ve been reflecting on the lessons I’ve learned along the way, from the importance of making real, meaningful connections with our kids to embracing the hard parts of parenting.

    These truths have shaped who I am today, teaching me to be proud of the parent I’ve become and reminding me that we get the exact kids we need, even when doubts creep in. It’s about authenticity, self-discovery, and realizing that quality time is more about connection than the hours we spend.

    Tune in to hear all 10 of these truths and how they can resonate in your own parenting journey. Whether you're just starting out or deep into the parenting trenches, these reflections will offer a fresh perspective and maybe even a little encouragement along the way.

  • Parenting Reflections: Real Talk with My Husband on Parenting Sensitive Kids, Balancing the Mental Load, & How Marathon Training Prepared Us for Paren...

From paternity leave to making those big (and small) calls, he brings a refreshing perspective you won’t want to miss. Tune in to end this milestone week with a dose of humor, honesty, and heart!
