In this episode, Dr. Glenda Bailey-Hayden joins us to talk about what it really means for moms to slow down and care for themselves — not as an afterthought, but as the foundation for a healthy, purpose-filled family life. We dig into the power of pausing, why modeling healthy choices matters more than we realize, and how renewing the mind can shift the way moms show up for themselves and their families.

Yes.... I'm still honoring father's even though Father's Day has passed.

Father's Day looks different when you're co-parenting. This week, I stepped back and handed the mic to the fathers of my children — and asked them one simple question:

What does Fatherhood really mean to you?

What came back was honest. It was real. And it reminded me why these conversations are important to have.
.
In this episode, you'll hear directly from my son's dad and my husband— unfiltered and in their own words — what fatherhood feels like from where they're standing.

I'll leave listeners with a reflection question to think about and we'll close out with a Father's Day prayer over every dad listening.

This one is for the dads. Share it with the father in your child's life.

Have you ever sat down and written a list of everyone who matters to you — only to realize you never made the list? In this powerful conversation, Jamie Newton-Knight sits down with Certified Biblical Life Coach, author, and speaker Nicole Hicks to talk about the parts of motherhood no one warns you about: the loss of self, the weight of doing it all, and the freedom that comes when you finally let go.

From learning to release control (even when the lunch box is packed 'wrong') to understanding that parenting is one of the greatest faith walks you'll ever take — this episode is equal parts conviction, encouragement, and permission. Permission to rest. Permission to ask for help. Permission to still be YOU.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT

• Why mothers struggle to ask for help — and what that says about control and trust
• The danger of micromanaging your partner or co-parent (even with good intentions)
• How Nicole went from a life-threatening medical crisis to founding Faith Over Fear Biblical Life Coaching
• The exercise that revealed none of us put ourselves on the priority list
• Why "mom" is a role you play, not who you are
• Releasing mom guilt and reclaiming your identity outside of motherhood
• Parenting as a faith walk — and why you can't rescue your children from every hard thing
• The power of never stopping prayer, even when (especially when) it's hard

ABOUT THIS WEEK'S GUEST
Coach Nicole Hicks is a Certified Biblical Life Coach, author, and speaker who helps women navigate life's challenges with faith, strategy, and intention. As the founder of Faith Over Fear Biblical Life Coaching, Nicole is passionate about supporting women — especially mothers — as they balance the demands of everyday life while staying rooted in their faith. With a heart for ministry, she brings both practical wisdom and spiritual insight to every space she enters.

What happens when a hair appointment becomes a healing appointment?

In this powerful episode of The CoCo Blend Podcast, Jamie Newton-Knight sits down with Christian Life Coach, licensed cosmetologist, author, and mother Jamie Radiance Moorehead for a faith-filled conversation about surrender, healing, motherhood, spiritual discernment, and restoration.
Jamie Radiance shares how her work behind the chair became more than hair care—it became ministry. Through her journey as a single mother, her personal surrender to God, and her calling to help women restore mind, body, and spirit through Jesus Christ, this conversation reminds us that healing is not just physical—it is spiritual, emotional, and deeply rooted in surrender.

Have you ever reached a point where you stopped trying to figure it all out—and just surrendered it to God?

That's exactly what happened to me over the past 4 days.

In this raw and real episode, I'm sharing what took place when I made the intentional decision to fast and truly seek God—not casually, not when it was convenient, but with purpose. And what happened? A breakthrough I couldn't keep to myself.

I walked through four days of Scripture, distraction, temptation, worship, and ultimately—confirmation. From Deuteronomy 8 to Proverbs 17, from a stressful payroll email to a life-changing phone call, God showed up in ways that can only be described as divine timing.

In this episode, I share:
Why I chose to fast—and what I was seeking from God

How Day 2 tested me (and how Scripture saved me from breaking my fast)

A powerful revelation about prayer that shifted my entire perspective

The exact moment God confirmed what I had been believing for

3 takeaways you can apply right now, whether you fast or not

This episode is for you if you've been feeling stuck, confused, or unsure about your next step—in your co-parenting journey, your career, your purpose, or just life life-ing.
God is not ignoring you. He's waiting for you to come to Him.

SCRIPTURES REFERENCED
Deuteronomy 8 – God provides, even in the wilderness
Luke 3 & 4 – Jesus fasted; fasting is preparation
John 1 – The importance of heart posture in prayer
Proverbs 17 – On quarreling, self-control, and peace

SONGS THAT MARKED THE BREAKTHROUGH
In the Middle – Isaac Carree
Go Get Your Blessing – Mary Mary
Won't He Do It – Koryn Hawthorne

3 KEY TAKEAWAYS
You don't have to be perfect to pray—just be honest.
Fasting is not punishment. It's preparation.
God will meet you when you are intentional about seeking Him.

REFLECTION QUESTION
When was the last time you truly sought God for direction—instead of trying to figure it out on your own?

Co-parenting can feel like an emotional rollercoaster… but what if the real shift isn’t about them — it’s about how you respond?
In this honest and powerful conversation, I sit down with Ashley Noelle from Blended Bond to talk about the emotional realities of co-parenting, healing from past relationships, and why boundaries are not optional — they’re necessary.


We’re getting real about:
The moments that trigger you (and what to do instead of reacting)


Why silence can be your greatest power move


How healing impacts your ability to co-parent effectively


Letting go of control and choosing peace instead


Creating boundaries that protect your energy and your children.


If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, misunderstood, or emotionally drained in your co-parenting journey… this episode is for you.


✨ Key Takeaways:


Not every message deserves your energy or response


Your healing directly impacts your co-parenting experience


Boundaries are a form of self-respect — not punishment


You can’t control them, but you can control your response


Peace is a decision you make daily


💛 Reflection Questions:
What situations tend to trigger me most in co-parenting?
Where do I need stronger boundaries right now?
What would choosing peace look like in my next interaction?
