It's a new season of Disorganized Thoughts of a New Traditional Mom and I've invited my cousins to the show!

Join us as we share personal insights and lessons learned from the women who shaped us. We discuss how motherhood influences faith, identity, and personal growth through heartfelt stories and reflections.

Lily is joining me for this one! We sat down to talk about some of the movies we watched this summer, the moments and messages we could relate to, and the little life lessons we found along the way.

Our conversation eventually turned into something even sweeter: what New Traditional Mom means to me and what NTM looks like through Lily’s eyes.

And because no conversation with my child stays completely on topic, we also had to take a brief but apparently necessary detour to set the record straight about her favorite food. 😂

It’s movies, motherhood, faith, family, a little reflection, and the kind of wonderfully disorganized conversation that feels right at home here.

A big God. A little sparkle. A whole lot of purpose.

This episode is part of Podcasthon, a global movement where podcasters highlight nonprofits and the impact they’re making.

In Part 2 of my conversation with Christine Roberts from A World For Children, we move from understanding… to action.

We talk about:

• What children in foster care need emotionally and practically

• The real needs of foster families after placement

• How organizations like A World for Children continue to support families

• Ways you can help — even if fostering or adopting isn’t for you

• Donations, programs, and community support opportunities

As a former foster mom, I’ve seen how important it is for families to have support systems in place — not just at the beginning, but all the way through.

This conversation is about what it looks like to show up.

Because every child deserves stability.
Every family deserves support.
And every community has a role to play.
