This is a big thing to say, but it's true: this interview changed my life. I had the complete honor of interviewing Salym Liufau who is a mom of 4. Salym shares about her journey with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). While this diagnosis may have slowed down what she can do physically, it has also led her to really understand what is important in life - no longer worrying about things like having a Pinterest-worthy house, but instead, stopping to really absorb the joy in her children's faces and snuggling together as a family in bed, sharing movie nights. I'm so excited to share this episode with you all, and I hope it touches your hearts as much as it did mine.

What do you do when your worst fear becomes your reality — just as your life is beginning.

In this deeply moving conversation, Heather Palmer shares her journey through devastating loss, silent struggle, and ultimate healing. Shortly after getting married, Heather’s husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Because of the side effects of his treatment, they turned to IVF to conceive their daughter — a baby her husband would only get to know for one precious month in the hospital before he passed away.

Heather opens up about navigating new motherhood while grieving, remarrying and growing her family, and the hidden battle she fought with an eating disorder — even when everything looked “fine” on the outside.

Now the author of Gold-In Cracks, Heather draws on the Japanese concept of Kintsugi — the art of repairing broken pottery with gold — to show how our deepest pain can become the very place our strength shines through.

This episode is a powerful reminder that broken doesn’t mean ruined — it can mean rebuilt, refined, and even more beautiful than before.

As a twin mom, life was crazy when my kids were little - but today's guest, Steph, took that adventure to a whole new level!

In this episode, Steph shares about her fertility journey, including the moment she chose to ignore what turned out to be very inaccurate advice from her doctor. She opens up about using a sperm donor, welcoming twins, and then — a few years later — going through the same process again… only to find herself laughing uncontrollably when she learned she was pregnant with triplets.

Steph walks us through her pregnancies, navigating life with preemies, and what it’s really like to have that many little feet running around at home.

Steph also shares what she had to let go of, what she discovered truly didn’t matter, and the advice she now gives to overwhelmed moms trying to hold it all together.

This episode is honest, emotional, and chaotic ... all in the best way.

In this powerful and hope-filled episode, I sit down with Mollie, the mom of Nash, who was born at just 21 weeks and 0 days gestation, weighing only 10 ounces — making him the world’s most premature baby. This episode blew me away because this means my micropreemies, who were born at 1.5 pounds, were THREE TIMES BIGGER than Nash - mind blown.Mollie shares about what it was like going into pregnancy so early, specifically following a devastating loss at 18 weeks gestation of her daughter. When Nash was born, his eyes were fused shut, he could not breathe on his own, and his skin was so underdeveloped, he could hardly be touched....but after nearly 200 days in NICU, Nash got to go home and is now a thriving 1.5 year old...who just happens to hold the very special honor of Guinness Book of World Records Most Premature Baby.

In this episode, I talk with Amanda, a mom whose 10-year-old son was hospitalized with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever after developing severe headaches, fever, and a rash. What first appeared to be a typical illness quickly led to a hospital stay and a long journey to recovery.

Amanda shares what it was like navigating uncertainty, advocating for her son, and supporting him through his journey, all while balancing other children and running her own business. While he is now doing much better physically, she opens up about the ongoing ADHD and anxiety he continues to manage following his illness.

The conversation also explores work/life balance, the importance of leaning on your village, and that overall, you do what is best for your family.

In this episode, I sit down with Ja’Bette, who shares her journey of becoming pregnant at 16 years old during her freshman year of college. She opens up about the stigma and challenges of being a pregnant teen, how it strained her family relationships — including a rift with her sister that lasted more than 25 years — and the determination it took to keep pursuing her dreams.

Ja’Bette reflects on the critical role of support, such as what she received from a college mentor and a teacher who believed in her when she needed it most. Because of that encouragement and her own persistence, she went on to complete multiple degrees, build a successful career, and dedicate part of her work to supporting teen and student parents.

Her story is a powerful reminder that pregnancy does not end possibility. Ja’Bette shares a message of hope for pregnant teens and young mothers everywhere: you can still follow your dreams — and achieve them.
