  • 18: It Takes A Village: Because Motherhood Wasn't Meant To Be Alone

    Welcome back to The Matriarchs. Today, we're diving into the truth that every mom needs a village — real support, real community, real connection — especially when you're raising daughters who are trying to navigate today's world. From social media pressures to friendship drama, from confidence swings to dealing with ALL the moods that accompany the teen years… being a girl mom is a blessing, but it's also a battlefield sometimes. And that is one reason why The Matriarchs exists, to create the village we all deserve. A place where moms can come as they are. A place to learn, laugh, cry, grow, and breathe again. A place where we aren't judged, only supported. Girl moms need girl moms. Teen girl moms especially need a village behind them.

    Today, let's talk about that village. How do we create it, what sustains it, and why is it so important?

  • 11: From Whisper to Roar: Finding Your Voice
    Welcome back to The Matriarchs—the podcast where we have real, honest conversations to help teen girls and young women navigate life with confidence. I'm Mama T and today we're tackling a topic that I am fiercely passionate bout. Finding your voice. I think todays episode is SO important. Throughout my teen years and early twenties, I didn't realize I not only had a voice but God gave me a voice that He didn't want me to waste. When we find the voice that God gave us as part of His purpose for us, we can use that voice in a powerful way. This is a topic that I am so passionate about. Our voice and our purpose in life go hand in hand and each of us were put on this earth for a purpose. We have to seek out our purpose just like we have to see out and find our voice. We hope to help you do that today; to help you understand you have a voice.
