This episode is all about the beginning of motherhood.

Today, I’m sitting down with Ruby Salinas as we open up an honest conversation about becoming a mom for the very first time—the beauty, the overwhelm, and everything in between.

From those early “wait… I’m someone’s mom?” moments to learning how to care for a little life while you’re still growing yourself, this conversation is a gentle reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out.

We talk about:

– giving yourself grace in the learning

– finding your rhythm as a new mom

– depending on God in the middle of exhaustion

– and the quiet, powerful moments that shape your motherhood

If you’re a first-time mom… or even just remembering those early days, I hope this conversation reminds you:

God chose you for your child—and He will equip you every step of the way.

This episode is a little heart-to-heart.

I’m sharing a small update… and a big shift—Behind the Mic now has its own space. Today, I’m opening up about what led to that change, what this season of motherhood has looked like, and the heart behind Wonderkeepers.

Life has been a little slower than planned… but full in the ways that matter most—learning new rhythms, showing up for my family, and trusting God in the process.

And I’m also sharing something I’m really excited about…

✨ Our Mother’s Day Series is coming this May.

Every Friday, we’ll sit down with moms in different stages of motherhood for real, honest conversations about what this calling looks like in everyday life.

Wherever you are, I hope this encourages you and reminds you—you’re not alone.

Make sure you’re following the show… and I’ll meet you back here this Friday.

n this special Behind the Mic episode, Trixie is joined by her friend Stephanie Rome—an Army wife, homeschooling mom of four, and a woman whose life has been shaped by prayer.

This isn’t an interview. It’s an honest, real-life conversation—one that might get interrupted, because motherhood is happening in real time.

Stephanie shares how prayer became a culture in her home (starting with her parents), how it became her “default” through the lonely and stretching seasons of military life, and how she learned to pray not only for miracles… but also for peace in the storm.

You’ll also hear practical Wonder Mama Wisdom—simple ways to weave prayer into everyday rhythms like washing dishes, folding laundry, and baking bread—and a special invitation to join our WonderMom Challenge this March: one month of intentional daily prayer over the children God has entrusted to us.
