In this episode, we’re diving deep into a powerful and often overlooked truth: the way you talk to yourself matters. As moms, we’re used to listening to everyone else — our kids, our partners, our responsibilities — but how often do we pause to truly listen to ourselves?

Join me as we explore the importance of self-talk and how becoming a better listener to yourself can be the first step to feeling more joyful, empowered, and like you again. We’ll talk about the different types of self-talk, how to recognize what’s really going on inside, and simple ways to reconnect with your inner voice.

Welcome to the very first episode of Mamingo! Host Kate introduces the heart behind the podcast—a space for moms to feel seen, heard, and supported. Drawing on the metaphor of the flamingo losing and regaining its color, Kate shares her own emotional journey through motherhood and why what you feel is a big deal. This episode dives deep into the unspoken feelings of rage, guilt, tenderness, and exhaustion that many moms face—and reminds us that emotions are energy in motion. Tune in for warmth, honesty, and a gentle nudge to ask yourself: How are you really?
