2025 pushed us to our limits. In this episode, the hosts of The Mama’s Den share what helped us survive a difficult year — and how we’re shifting into a future built on intention, clarity, and joy. We talk about recognizing our talents, letting go of what no longer serves us, and choosing joy without guilt. If you’re ready to move from survival mode into purpose, this conversation is for you.

When The Mama’s Den podcast first began, two of our 9 children hadn’t even been born yet. Fast-forward to today, and those two babies are now 4 years old, three of them are 7, three are 9, and one is 16 — and the emotional weight of that growth is hitting us in real time.

This week, we open up about what it feels like to watch our children grow up right before our eyes. From the excitement (and fear) of driver’s licenses to overnight trips and realizing that some of our kids are no longer “little,” we talk honestly about the joy, nerves, pride, and anxiety that come with each new milestone.

We reflect on how motherhood evolves as our kids become more independent — and how their growth forces us to confront our own: learning to let go, redefining our roles, and holding space for nostalgia while celebrating who our children are becoming. This conversation is for every parent navigating the bittersweet reality of raising kids who don’t stay kids forever.

Whether your child is a toddler, a tween, or on the brink of adulthood, this episode will make you feel seen — and remind you that you’re not alone in this season.

On this week’s episode of The Mama’s Den, Codie is fresh off the inaugural Disney Destiny Cruise — and she’s giving the inside scoop on cruising with kids, creating core memories, and convincing the Mamas to join next time. While onboard, Codie sat down with fellow twin mom Lauren Berty, host of That Twin Mama podcast and beloved social media creator known for her hilarious, honest takes on raising three kids - including 5-year-old twins girls! Together, they talk about the surprise of twins and when things *actually* get easier with multiples.

The mamas also recap their Thanksgiving highs and lows, reflect on how parenting is shifting in this season and offer real-life insight for moms balancing multiple little ones at once.

If you’re a twin mom, a Disney lover, or just craving sisterhood and some much-needed validation, this episode is full of laughs, transparency, and community.
