Nikki Johnson is my guest in the final episode of our May Motherhood series, and she is the absolute perfect "wrap up" for such a heartfelt series! Throughout her entire story Nikki shows us how possible the impossible really can be. I have listened to this conversation multiple times and still find myself challenged and motivated!

Alexandrea, of Blue Lane Blog sat down to share her beautiful journey to Motherhood with me. So much about Andrea's story is so beautifully personal to me and i am SO GRATEFUL to share her story with you. From infertility to motherhood, her story is inspiring and beautiful. 

Maggie and Misty had the privilege of sitting down with Shilene Aaron, the Mama Mogul. Shilene has experienced several vastly different chapters of motherhood with grace, poise and true joy. She was a single mom, is now the mom of a blended family and she recently had a baby, while her oldest is in high school. We KNEW she would have so much to offer, and she DOES! This lady here has WISDOM! 

Beyond listening to, and sharing this episode, you can catch more with Shilene through her own podcast The Mama Mogul. 

In this episode we are kicking off our Motherhood series, four episodes with unique perspectives, odd defying stories of hope, heartache, loss, love and motherhood journeys. Today Misty, Maggie, Joy and Tori engage in honest conversation about how their own (very different) experiences with their own mothers have affected their motherhood journeys... 

In Episode 32, as we kick off the Month of May, I had the opportunity to sit down with two amazing women and talk Postpartum Depression, the journey of making intentional memories and mental/emotional health. My cohost was my life long friend Sarah, who is a midwife and our guest was fellow podcast host Jennifer Tierney. Jennifer's podcast How To Make a Memory serves as a medium for connecting with others and as a love letter to her children...  Jennifer shares about her journey with postpartum depression and shares some really helpful information. Sarah was the best cohost for this episode, hands down! 

(*Editing is mentioned in this episode but did not get done completely due to a death in the family.)
