    Marriage on Autopilot? Reconnecting When Life, Kids & Resentment Get in the Way with Kameran Alareqi

    Send us Fan MailWhen was the last time you felt like your spouse was your partner… and not just the person helping you run the household?Who's picking up the kids?What's for dinner?Did you pay that bill?Who's taking them to practice?Can somebody PLEASE take the trash out?! 😂Marriage after kids can start to feel a whole lot less like romance and a whole lot more like managing a very chaotic small business.You're getting things done.You're raising the kids.You're paying the bills.You're surviving the week.But somewhere along the way…Did you stop being friends?In this episode of Mom's Brain Is A Coffee Stain | Parenting Teens, Mom Life & Real Conversations, Kayla sits down with Kameran Alareqi, mother of two, Certified Marriage Strategist, host of the Married and Connectedpodcast, and author of Connected to Me: The Blueprint, for a conversation that might have you looking at your marriage—and yourself—a little differently.Because according to Kameran, your marriage is supposed to be one of your most important teams.But what happens when it starts feeling like you're playing against each other?☕ We're Getting Into the Stuff Couples Don't Always Talk About...What happens when your conversations have become almost entirely about kids, bills, schedules, dinner, and who's doing what?How do you know when you've crossed from being partners into roommates?And what about all those tiny moments of connection we don't even realize we're missing?We're talking about:The subtle signs that you and your spouse may be disconnectingWhy some couples become really good at managing a household—but not necessarily their marriageThe conversations couples may be missing without even realizing itWhy a simple “I'm sorry” might not actually repair anythingThe resentment that can quietly build around the mental loadWhat happens when we expect our spouse to just KNOW what we needWhy the way the dishwasher is loaded might not actually be the problem 👀How childhood experiences can follow us straight into our adult relationshipsThe invisible “suitcases” we both bring into a marriageWhat your triggers may be trying to tell youWhy defensiveness can turn your spouse into the enemy when they're supposed to be your teammateWhether marriage really should be 50/50What happens when you stop treating your spouse like your best friendHow the marriage our children WATCH may shape what they eventually expect from relationshipsThe question Kameran thinks couples should be asking instead of “Is this marriage worth it?”And what you can do when you love each other…but don't feel connected anymoreAnd then Kameran drops a perspective on resentment and expectations that might make you say:“Wait…WHAT?!”Because maybe the thing you're angry about isn't quite as simple as you thought.Maybe the problem isn't really the trash.Or the dishes.Or the laundry.Or the schedule.Maybe there's something underneath all of it that neither of you has actually said out loud.And that's where this conversation gets GOOD.We also get into something parents don't always think about:Our kids are watching our marriages.They're watching how we disagree.How we apologize.How we speak to each other.How we show affection.How we handle frustration.How we repair after we've hurt each other.And whether we still actually seem to like each other.Because we're not only raising kids.We're showing them what relationships can look like.So if you've ever looked at your spouse after a completely ridiculous argument and thought…“How did we even get HERE?”Or you've realized that somewhere between parenting, work, laundry, bills, and life, the two of you stopped having fun together…Pour the coffee. ☕This conversation is for you.🎙️ Guest InformationKameran AlareqiMother of two | Certified Marriage Strategist | Host of Married and Connected | Author of Connected to Me: The Blueprint📸 Instagram:www.instagram.com/married.and.connected▶️ YouTube:www.youtube.com/@marriedandconnected👥 Join Kameran's Skool Community:https://www.skool.com/married-connected-4920/about📘 Buy Connected to Me: The Blueprint:https://a.co/d/0a3d2hPx🎙️ Podcast:Married and Connected — available wherever you get your favorite podcasts.📝 Substack:https://substack.com/@marriedandconnected🌐 Website:www.recognizingpotential.com☕ Show InformationMom's Brain Is A Coffee Stain | Parenting Teens, Mom Life & Real Conversations🎙️ Hosts: Kayla & Crystal📧 Email:Momsbrainisacoffeestain@outlook.com📱 Follow the show:@momsbrainisacoffeestain☕ Support the podcast:https://www.momsbrainisacoffeestain.com/🎤 Want to be a guest on Mom's Brain Is A Coffee Stain | Parenting Teens, Mom Life & Real Conversations?Send Kayla and Crystal a message on PodMatch:https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/momsbrainisacoffeestainSupport the show

    Raising Confident Teens: When Helping Becomes Rescuing with Dr. Carla Caturia
    2026/10/04
    Send us Fan MailWhat if constantly helping our teens is actually keeping them from realizing how capable they are?As parents, we want our kids to succeed.So we remind them about the assignment.Email the teacher.Bring the forgotten homework.Schedule the appointment.Solve the problem.Step in when they're struggling.But at some point, helping has to become letting go.In this episode of Mom’s Brain Is A Coffee Stain | Parenting Teens, Mom Life & Real Conversations, Kayla sits down with Dr. Carla Caturia, educator, founder of The House of RISE, certified Life Coach, and Doctor of Educational Leadership, for a conversation about raising teens who are confident, resilient, emotionally intelligent, and prepared for adulthood.And one of the biggest questions we're asking is:Are we supporting our teens—or rescuing them from the very experiences they need in order to grow?☕ In This Episode, We Talk About:Why achievement doesn't automatically create confidenceWhen success becomes part of a teen's identityPerfectionism and fear of failureWhy teens sometimes need opportunities to failThe difference between helping and rescuingKnowing when to step in—and when to step backTeaching teens independence one responsibility at a timeGiving teens freedom while still maintaining family expectationsBuilding trust and autonomyWhy doing everything for our kids may actually hold them backHelping teens develop stronger self-trustThe power of the stories teens tell themselvesEncouraging kids without making them feel pressured to performSocial media, comparison, and today's constant information overloadModeling the skills we want our teenagers to developPreparing teens for adulthood before they actually get thereDr. Carla's RISE Framework and the connection between resilience, identity, self-confidence, and emotional intelligenceBecause raising capable adults sometimes means allowing our kids to experience things we'd really rather protect them from.A disappointing grade.A forgotten assignment.An uncomfortable conversation.A mistake.A failure.And maybe even the natural consequences that come with it.The hard part?Sometimes letting them struggle is harder on US than it is on them.Dr. Carla challenges parents to look at where we're stepping in, why we're doing it, and whether our help is actually giving our teens the opportunity to discover:“I can do hard things.”And for the parent worried they're already doing too much?It's not too late to start stepping back.One responsibility at a time.One conversation at a time.One opportunity for them to prove to themselves that they're more capable than they realize.🎙️ Guest InformationDr. Carla CaturiaEducator | Founder of The House of RISE | Certified Life Coach | Doctorate in Educational Leadership🌐 Website:https://thehouseofrise.com/📱 Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/carlacaturia📸 Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/drcarlacaturia/👥 Facebook Group — Raising Resilient Teens & Tweens:https://www.facebook.com/groups/raisingresilientteensandtweens▶️ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/💻 The Mental Edge:https://www.skool.com/the-mental-edge-7239/about?ref=f15e91fb0ffe46449e709f6885817ea4☕ Show InformationMom’s Brain Is A Coffee Stain | Parenting Teens, Mom Life & Real Conversations🎙️ Hosts: Kayla & Crystal📧 Email:Momsbrainisacoffeestain@outlook.com📱 Follow the show:@momsbrainisacoffeestain☕ Support the podcast:https://www.momsbrainisacoffeestain.com/🎤 Want to be a guest on Mom's Brain Is A Coffee Stain | Parenting Teens, Mom Life & Real Conversations?Send Kayla and Crystal a message on PodMatch:https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/momsbrainisacoffeestainSupport the show

  • Never the Plan: Motherhood, Loss & Finding Yourself Again with Fleur Bryant

    Never the Plan: Motherhood, Loss & Finding Yourself Again with Fleur Bryant
    2026/09/27

    Send us Fan Mail

    What happens when motherhood—and life—looks nothing like the plan you imagined?

    In this deeply personal episode of Mom’s Brain Is A Coffee Stain | Parenting Teens, Mom Life & Real Conversations, Kayla sits down with Fleur Bryant, mother of three, coach, speaker, and author of Never the Plan.

    Fleur's journey has included motherhood, disability, years of being misdiagnosed, caregiving, losing her son Toby after his diagnosis with a terminal brain disease, and learning how to keep living while carrying grief alongside her.

    But this conversation isn't only about loss.

    It's about identity, motherhood, asking for help, finding humor in impossible moments, letting go of guilt, and learning how to build a meaningful life when the original plan has been completely rewritten.


    ☕ In This Episode, We Talk About:

    • Fleur's journey and the story behind Never the Plan
    • Caring for a child while navigating her own disability
    • Why asking for help doesn't make you less of a mother
    • Caregiver burnout and the importance of building a support network
    • The complicated emotions surrounding diagnosis and misdiagnosis
    • Mom guilt and learning to give yourself what you need, too
    • Losing your identity in motherhood and caregiving
    • Finding yourself outside of being “just Mom”
    • Using humor to survive some of life's hardest moments
    • What it really means to show up for a family going through a crisis
    • Grief, acceptance, and learning to live alongside loss
    • Helping siblings continue living and growing after losing a brother or sister
    • Finding purpose when life doesn't go according to plan
    • The story and message behind Fleur's memoir, Never the Plan
    • Why sometimes the life we never planned becomes the life that teaches us the most

    Fleur also shares a powerful reminder for the exhausted mom wondering if she's doing enough:

    You have always been enough—but you also have to give yourself enough of what YOU need to thrive.

    This is a conversation about the things we never would have chosen, the strength we discover along the way, and giving ourselves permission to keep living, growing, laughing, and finding purpose—even when life looks nothing like we expected.
