Being a full-time mom and working full-time? 😅 Whew. It's not for the faint of heart. In this episode, I’m getting real about the daily juggling act we face—diapers, deadlines, daycare pickups, and dinner. 👶🏽💼🍽️

We’re talking:
✨ The emotional toll of trying to “do it all”
🕰️ How to create realistic rhythms that support you
🙅🏾‍♀️ Letting go of guilt when things fall through the cracks
💛 And the truth: your worth isn’t tied to how much you accomplish

Whether you’re exhausted, encouraged, or somewhere in between—you’re not alone. This one’s for every mama who’s balancing baby bottles and work calls and wondering if she’s doing enough. Spoiler: You are.

Hey mama 👋🏾 This one’s for the moms caught between the way they were raised and the way they want to raise their kids.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about the real-life tension between traditional parenting and gentle parenting — and what it looks like to find your own rhythm in the middle. From childhood stories, generational habits, and hard moments where gentle parenting didn’t feel so gentle… to the deep desire to break cycles and keep structure — we’re unpacking it all. 💭

✨ You’ll hear:

• My honest reflection on how I was raised

• Real moments from my home (yes, including a broken TV and a Vaseline-covered toddler 😅)

• Why balance is the goal, not perfection

• And gentle reminders that repair is part of parenting too

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Am I doing this right?” — this episode is your reminder: you’re not alone, and you’re doing better than you think 💕

🧠 The Mental Load Is Real, Mama. And It’s Why You're So Tired.

Welcome back to For Moms: A Safe Space 💕 In this episode, we’re shining a light on something that weighs heavy—but often goes unseen: the mental load of motherhood. From juggling invisible to-do lists to being the default parent 24/7, this kind of constant thinking is exhausting.

I share listener stories, personal insights, and real talk on:

• What the mental load really is

• How it leads to emotional and physical burnout

• Why your exhaustion is valid (even if no one sees it)

• Small ways to reclaim time, ask for help, and set boundaries 🧘‍♀️

✨ Plus: affirmations + reflection questions to help you lighten the load and feel seen.

Post-Baby Body 💕👶🏾✨
Let’s talk about the jiggle, the stretch marks (aka ✨starbursts✨), the bigger boobs, and that weird in-between phase where your body doesn’t feel like yours anymore. In this episode, I get real about my own post-baby body journey—from scratching my belly with a brush (yep, true story 😅) to nearly booking a BBL during peak pandemic vibes 😂.

I also share a beautiful listener story, some affirmations, and reminders that your body just did an amazing thing. So whether you’re still rocking your maternity leggings or finally slipping into that bodysuit you bought 3 years ago… this one’s for you, mama 💖💪🏾

🎧 Grab your coffee (or wine, no judgment) and hit play
👑 Your body is powerful, evolving, and worthy—period
💬 Let’s ditch the “snapback” pressure and embrace the real

Adoption is never simple. It’s a journey filled with love, loss, identity, and the longing to belong. 💔💞

In this episode, I’m sharing something deeply personal—my own adoption story. From the traumatic circumstances surrounding my birth to the years of legal battles and emotional complexity, I open up about how being adopted has shaped who I am and the mother I’ve become.

I also talk about the different types of adoption—domestic 👶🏽, foster care 🏡,and kinship 👨‍👩‍👧—and the emotional layers that come with each. Adoption always begins with loss, but it can also be a story of healing and hope. ✨

Whether you’re an adoptee, an adoptive parent, or someone navigating the process, I hope this episode reminds you that your feelings are valid, your story matters, and you are not alone. 🤍

🧡 You are not a mistake. You are not unwanted. You are chosen. You are worthy of love and belonging.

Thank you for holding space with me.
