Thirty episodes later... here we are.

For the Season 1 finale, I wanted to do something different.

This isn't a recap of everything I've learned or another advice episode. Instead, I'm dedicating this episode to the little boy who made Mom Gone Mild possible my son, Axel.

As he's about to turn one, I've found myself reflecting on this incredible first year of motherhood. The highs, the struggles, the moments that stretched me, and the little memories I already know I'll miss.

I'm also taking a moment to celebrate every mom whose baby is about to turn one, because while we celebrate our babies, we don't always celebrate the women who grew, delivered, and loved them through that first unforgettable year.

Whether you're a mom, hoping to become one someday, or simply walking through a season of growth, I hope this episode reminds you to slow down and appreciate the ordinary moments that end up meaning the most.

Thank you for an unforgettable first season. I'll see you in Season 2.

After becoming a mom, I felt like I lost pieces of myself.

In this episode, I’m sharing my journey from confused college student to hospice nurse, navigating postpartum depression and anxiety, leaving a career I loved, and ultimately finding myself again through motherhood and creating Mom Gone Mild.

If you’ve ever questioned who you are outside of being “Mom,” I hope this conversation reminds you that you’re not alone. Motherhood changes us, but it doesn’t erase us.

What if self-love isn't what we've been told it is?

In this episode of Mom Gone Mild, we're talking about the difference between self-love and self-care and why they aren't the same thing.

From keeping the promises you make to yourself to setting healthy boundaries, motherhood, confidence, and learning to stop abandoning yourself, this is an honest conversation about what self-love actually looks like in everyday life.

I'm not an expert. I'm simply sharing what I've been learning on my own journey of becoming a healthier, happier, and better version of myself. If something I've learned can help you too, then that's exactly why I started this podcast.

If you've ever struggled to put yourself first, questioned your worth, or felt like you've lost yourself while taking care of everyone else, this episode is for you.
