The Everyday Mama Podcast

Back by popular demand, the everyday dad is back!

The good, the bad, and the “are we there yet?” moments—our recent Park City trip had it all. Tanner and I open up about what went smoothly, what we’d do differently next time, and how stepping outside our comfort zone ended up giving us a major confidence boost.

If you’re planning a trip with littles soon, we hope this episode gives you some practical tips and a good dose of encouragement.

In today’s episode, we sit down with Nikki, a licensed Christian counselor, to explore what it really looks like to integrate faith and therapy. We talk about the unique role spirituality plays in the healing process, how scripture and prayer can be woven into sessions, and the common misconceptions people have about Christian counseling.

Nikki opens up about the joy and responsibility of walking with clients through both their struggles and their victories, offering guidance rooted in both clinical wisdom and biblical truth. 

She’s a natural encourager, overflowing with compassion, and her insight and expertise are truly a joy to hear!

Today's episode features my good friend Murphy Sylvester, a Houston-based speech therapist, who gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what her job really entails. We chatted about how to know when to advocate for your child and the many facets of speech therapy. 

One thing Murphy emphasized was not getting caught up in labels, but instead focusing on equipping children with the tools they need to communicate effectively. She shared how speech therapy can be an incredibly powerful resource, and how rewarding it is to see progress unfold through consistent practice and support.

I'm so thankful for my conversation with Murphy today and don't worry, I'm already planning on asking her back!

Today’s conversation is with Lauren Dragus, the entrepreneur behind Meeting Mama, a postpartum community where new moms can walk through the fourth trimester together and lean on the guidance of experts. Lauren’s passion for supporting other moms is evident in the safe space she’s built for connection, community, and shared experiences.

Walking, talking, and coffee are basically my love language—and Lauren also started a Moms Walk that brings all three together. 

She’s making such a meaningful impact in her community by bringing moms together, and it’s a joy to be part of it.

Today’s episode was such a joy — I got to catch up with my cross-country friend, Jada Segaard! Jada is a new mom to a 9-month-old, a content creator, and a home health care aide for her special needs cousin. 
We dove into what it’s really like to navigate work and motherhood, and how she manages to carve out time for herself along the way. Her morning vlogs are a must watch and her voiceovers are consistently on point—funny, relatable, and impossible not to love.

Today we talk about our second child's diabetes diagnosis. We now have 2/3 children with Type 1 Diabetes under the age of 2. 
I pray that you'll understand the heartache we feel around the situation but our plans to navigate this in the most positive way we can for our children. 
No parent wants difficult news, so while we were verbally processing the hardships on here, I pray it doesn't come across as complaining. 
To all my fellow Type 1 moms, moms navigating gestational diabetes, moms facing any kind of medical challenge—or any challenge at all—and the moms who simply want to just hear about our journey, this episode is for you.

We also talked about sleep training and creating schedules that work for you and your family. 
Whether you're past postpartum, in the thick of it, or going to walk through it soon, I know you will love our conversation!
