Mother’s Day looks a little different these days.

In this heartfelt episode, we’re talking about the beautiful, bittersweet evolution of motherhood — from the days of sleepless nights, sticky hands, and surviving in the chaos, to watching our children grow into independent people with lives of their own. We reflect on how Mother’s Day has changed over the years, the expectations we once had, the emotions that can come with it, and the quiet realization that parenting never really stops… it just changes shape.

We dive into the ups and downs of this season of motherhood — the pride, the grief for the years that passed too quickly, the shifting family dynamics, and learning who we are outside of constantly being needed. Whether you’re celebrating, struggling, missing someone, or simply navigating the changing roles that come with raising older children, this conversation is for you.

Because motherhood isn’t one chapter — it’s a lifetime of evolving love.

In this deeply personal and heartfelt episode, Katrina opens up about the emotional journey she’s been on over the past few months—traveling back and forth to be with her family as her mother-in-law faced serious illness, and ultimately, the weight of saying goodbye.

Through raw reflection and honest conversation, she shares what it’s like to navigate grief in real time while still showing up for life, family, and purpose. This episode also explores the importance of having your affairs in order—those conversations we often avoid, but that can make all the difference when the unexpected happens.

Katrina also dives into the reality that grief doesn’t look the same for everyone. We all process loss differently, and learning to hold space for those differences—without judgment—is a powerful part of healing.

This is a vulnerable, grounding episode about love, loss, preparation, and giving yourself (and others) the grace to grieve in your own way.

In this off the cuff episode of Thanks, It’s the Trauma, we’re getting honest about self-worth, comparison, and the quiet pressure to measure up in a world that never stops scrolling. Social media has a way of making everyone else’s life look polished, successful, and perfectly put together — while we’re sitting there questioning ourselves. But the truth is, we’re comparing our real, messy, in-progress lives to someone else’s highlight reel.

We’re unpacking how trauma, insecurity, and past experiences can make us even more vulnerable to chasing validation online. Why do we let likes, follows, and curated images define how we feel about ourselves? When did we start believing we had to filter who we are to be accepted?

This episode is about coming back to yourself. It’s about learning to be happy with who you are — not who the algorithm says you should be. Your pace is valid. Your journey is valid. Your growth doesn’t have to be aesthetic to be meaningful.

If you’ve ever felt behind, not enough, or like you’re losing yourself trying to keep up, this conversation is for you. It’s raw, it’s reflective, and it’s a reminder that your worth was never meant to be measured in pixels.

Tune in for real talk, perspective shifts, and a little healing — off the cuff.
