This week on The Mother Load, Lauren and Amy sit down with the incredible Shavonne Lewis to unpack the beautiful complexities of life, growth, and connection. 💬✨
Here’s what you can expect:
➡️ Honoring friendships: How lifting others up creates a ripple effect.
➡️ Aging with grace: How our views (and styles!) have evolved over the years.
➡️ Delivery stories: The moments that changed everything.
➡️ Life's turning points: When things click, and we begin to evolve.
💡 Deep Dive Topics:
- Spiritual bypassing & toxic positivity: Why it’s important to face the real issues.
- Insecurity in youth and how it shapes adulthood.
- Feeling "different" as a child and its lasting impact.
- Navigating life’s seasons and embracing change.
- The healing power of serving others.

Remember: “Small changes feel insignificant, but small is steady, consistent, and predictable.” 🌱
Tune in for heartfelt conversations, powerful insights, and moments that’ll leave you inspired. 💛

Meet Jen! After you listen to this episode, you’re going to love her just as much as we do.
Jen is compassionate, wise, and fierce beyond all reasonable doubt. She is a wife, a badass business owner boss lady, an ex-corporate boss lady, a loving mom to her children and dogs (shout out dog moms!), a speaker, a sales performance coach, and executive leadership coach. ⭐️
Jen is the owner and founder of Jen E. Miller and Associates, but her story doesn’t start there.
Join us to hear Jen’s perspective on marriage, parenting (technology details), professional and personal success, preparing for the unexpected, and more.
She is the real deal. She’s honest and kind and has the biggest heart.
Take a listen and remember, you are fierce and you are enough.

Hey guys, here's a look back at one of our first episodes!

Haley is a career driven lady and we were so happy to get to know her!

We'll be back with a new bonus episode soon!

Hey guys! Did you miss us?

We'll see you there!

Hey everyone, in this episode of The Mother Load we have the pleasure of speaking with Lauren's sister-in-law Nicole Rall!
Nicole is many things but to sum her up she is super mom of 3 awesome ladies, a photographer, a homesteader, a homeschooler... sourdough is life and life is her. She does it all while maintaining a consciousness that many of us take for granted.
We discussed how Nicole makes choices, what fuels her motivations and how the heck she manages her mother load!
If you are at all interested in an alternative way of living, stepping out of what is "normal" or sourdough...this episode is for you!
Enjoy this enchanting conversation with Nicole <3

Happy Halloween 🎃 (re-release)
The season of cute spooky decor, adorable costumes, school parties, trunk or treat, candy, Halloween traditions, sweet memories, candy, haunted houses, candy, and more candy. 🍭 👻
It really is the best. We are definitely NOT in the camp of this holiday being bad for the children or the world - so listen with caution.
We love it.
Spend some time re-living some of our favorite Halloween traditions and get a real life glimpse of Lauren’s Halloween calendar! 🗓️
Another late night virtual episode you’re going to get a glimpse of what we’re like after hours, using our kids gaming headsets, sipping tea (I think Lauren had wine 🍷) and being moms.
Now go fill up your Halloween calendar and share some of what YOU love about this holiday with us!
Stay fierce friends, and know that you are enough.

Our very first episode happens to be our #1 listened to episode and although that is statistically the case for any podcast, we know that you all loved listening to Nolan just as much as we did, so we're bringing it back.

Nolan's perspective of having working parents is touching and heartfelt. He is wise beyond his 13 little years (almost 14!). We didn't prepare him for the questions we were going to ask, we just asked, and he delivered.

Enjoy this weeks flash back to March of 2024 and we will be back with all new content next week.
Stay fierce friends, and know that you are enough.

XOXO
