  • 21: Onto the Next Chapter
    Signing off on the Everyday Mama podcast, but happy with the little capsule I created during this season of my life to reflect back on. 

    Ended the episode with mom advice/ hacks. Remember take what you need, leave what you don’t. As always don’t let this make you feel lesser than a mom, use it more as a tool to help you where you need! You are doing a great job! Thanks for supporting my page in any capacity -- onto the next adventure...

  • 20: Currently Hobbying
    Get ready for a quick, fun, girly chat all about hobbies!

    In today’s episode, we’re talking about rediscovering old passions and trying new ones. Whether it’s Duolingo, watercolor, baking sourdough, scrapbooking, or something totally random, we’re diving into tons of ideas and inspiration.

    We’ll chat about the mental health benefits of having something that’s just yours, the guilt we sometimes carry when we take time for ourselves, and practical ways to make space for creativity in a full season of life.

    I hope you feel empowered to make space for something that lights you up — even in the busiest season!

    Welcome to my oversharing girly chat today! For today's solo episode, I asked ChatGPT to "give me a fun podcast episode idea for a mom related podcast revolving around currently loving items, etc.” and it kind of evolved from there so a mix of mom related things and not mom related things.

  • 18: Savor the Sacred Seasons w/ Amy Ging
    This week, I’m interviewing my mentor, Amy Ging. Last summer, as her oldest daughter prepared to begin her senior year of high school, Amy wrote a devotional just for that season. After recognizing a gap in resources for moms navigating this pivotal year, she decided to create what she couldn’t find — the devotional she wished she had.

    This conversation was so special to me because the perspective I gained from a seasoned mom is invaluable. She talks about how to be confident in who you are as a mom, how to savor the moments when it goes by so fast, how to give yourself grace along the way. 

    I already know she’ll be a recurring guest, but no matter what stage of motherhood you’re in, this conversation is for you

  • 17: Raising Readers & Dreamers w/ Ashley Wall
    In today’s episode, I sit down with former educator turned author Ashley Wall. She is the author of The Day I Had series and Lucy and Her Unicorn Get a Sparkle Puppy. Along with her husband, Ashley co-founded Mama Bear Books, a publishing company dedicated to cultivating a love of reading and imagination in young children—creating lifelong learners and readers along the way.

    In addition to fun and imagination, she intentionally weave life lessons into her stories—which, as a mom, feels like a total win-win.

    My own kids have been loving her books at bedtime, so getting to have Ashley on the podcast and chat about the behind-the-scenes journey was extra fun for me. Ashley shared such thoughtful advice that extends far beyond the publishing world, and I’m so excited for you to hear it.

  • 14: Christmas Traditions
    Closing out the year with a festive episode all about Christmas traditions!
    We’re sharing the ones we grew up with, the ones listeners sent in, and the sweet traditions we’ve started (or plan to start!) with our littles. This season feels extra magical, and I hope this episode inspires you to choose the traditions you want to weave into your own holiday season, too!

    Kaitlyn is back on the pod, and we had an absolute blast again! This week, we’re diving into mom confessions—those funny, chaotic, totally relatable moments that remind us we’re all just doing our best. From the parenting fails we can laugh about now to the everyday chaos that makes motherhood what it is.

  • 12: De-Influencing Influencing w/ Noel Arens
    Today I sat down with Noel Arens, your internet mom friend documenting life with two under three. We talk about her journey from going viral overnight to leaving her marketing job and diving full-time into content creation.

    We cover it all — from what really happens behind the scenes to how social media has shifted from picture-perfect feeds to authenticity, when to ask for help, plus what it looks like to set boundaries and resist the algorithm. 

    There’s still so much more we could’ve covered, but I hope this conversation gives you a deeper look into the reality of influencing, the work that goes into it, and the not-so-glamorous side of influencing that most people never see.
