This is officially Episode 1!! In this kickoff conversation, I’m pulling back the curtain and inviting you into the messy, magical mix of why I started this podcast — right at the start of summer break, while running my sourdough biz, and still trying to find that crazy thing called balance, lol!

You’ll hear a little bit of my story, what I want for this podcast, and why I finally stopped waiting for the “perfect time.” (Spoiler: it doesn’t exist.)

So grab your drink of choice (coffee, cocktail, or oat milk something you forgot about again), and let’s talk about following your calling even when the chaos is loud.

This is real motherhood, unfiltered. This is the start of something good.

Welcome to the trailer episode of The Motherhood Happy Hour, your new favorite mom hangout where we're keeping it real with unfiltered chats, sipping something yummy, and talking all things motherhood with a splash of humor and heart.

Here on The Motherhood Happy Hour, we’re diving into everything from the deep, messy, beautiful parts of motherhood to the funny, awkward, and WTF moments we all have.

We’re so excited you're here! Whether you're hiding in the pantry with your coffee, sneaking a sip of wine in the laundry room with those piles of unfolded laundry, or maybe you've actually made it out on a solo errand run, this space is for you.

Michana is a 40-something wife to a hot-ass firefighter, mama of three—yep, there's a 16-year age gap between my oldest and my middle— a sourdough slinging queen behind the cozy micro bakery, A Love for Sourdough, margarita enthusiast, dream-chasing entrepreneur, and forever trying to balance the chaos. Is that even a real thing, and not just a unicorn dream?

With over a decade in the medical field and years spent as a postpartum care provider, Michana has always had a heart for supporting mamas. And now she’s bringing that same heart and (sass) to the mic.

So grab that coffee, maybe a glass of wine, a margarita—make it spicy— or that fancy oat milk matcha you keep forgetting to finish, put in those earbuds, and get ready to tune in🎧

This is the Motherhood Happy Hour, and you're officially invited. Because… motherhood needs a little happy hour🥂
