    Hi lil mama! In today’s episode, we have a guest, Corinne Brubaker, who is a mom, an entrepreneur running her own local at-home bakery, triathlon athlete, full-time work-from-home mom, and so much more! We asked Corinne what her process is from goal making, to goal achieving, and how she does it!

  • Dreams Don’t Expire: A 6-Month Check-In
    2025/05/26

    Hey lil mama!!

    In today's episode, we open up about how the last 6 months of podcasting is going, how we tried to start a podcast years ago and failed, and how sometimes God puts things on our hearts, not because we're suppose to do it right then and there, hence the failed attempt to become podcaster YEARS ago, but that doesn't mean we give them up. It sometimes means we need to wait for better/God's timing.


    Tell us YOUR dreams on our socials!! We will be your BIGGEST hype girls.

  • How Mikaela's Postpartum Is Going
    2025/05/12

    Hey lil mama!


    In today's episode we chit-chat about how postpartum is going for Mikaela, being 2.5 weeks postpartum (when episode was recorded). We touch on how Mikaela is doing physically and mentally, how she's been able to manage and handle this forth trimester, and how she's had to pivot in her homeschooling journey to accommodate getting school done with her kiddos, but also not put all the pressure on herself to do it all.

  • Mikaela's Unmedicated Birth Story
    2025/04/28

    Hey there lil mama! In today's episode, Mikaela shares her unmedicated birth story of her 4th, land final baby. She touches on how she dealt with prodromal labor, her water spontaneously breaking at home, and how she was able to make it through 2 minute long, intense contractions, and how her doctor stormed out of the delivery room moments before she gave birth.


    This birth story is one for the books, so grab your favorite drink, snack and tissues, because we definitely got emotional.

  • How We Connect With Our Spouse While Raising Babies | Guest Speaker: Cody Smith
    2025/04/21

    Hi lil mama!! In today's episode we have a little twist, with Mikaela on maternity leave, this episode's hosts are Kirsten + Cody Smith. With almost 10 years of marriage under our belt, we talk about how we find time to connect with each other while raising 5 kids, age ranging from 9 months old to 8.5 years old.


    We touch on our love story, and how we met, fell in love, and got married! Plot twist for us, we got pregnant pretty quickly after getting married (about 3 months after), so we've spent almost the entirety of our marriage finding ways to stay happy, love each other, and grow together in the mist of having young kids. We talk about things that have worked for us that you could start implementing today, and could help you love on and reconnect with your significant other.


    What are ways you and your spouse/partner find ways to connect with each other?
