Moms carry so much—and often give even more. But Proverbs 11:25 reminds us that “the one who waters will himself be watered.” We'll hear encouragement straight from God's Word: that you matter, you're never alone, and you have what it takes. Whether you're a mom, a caregiver, or someone constantly giving for others, you'll be reminded that God sees you—and He gives grace to help you keep going.Eric P.

As a coach, do you realize often enough just how valuable your work is?! In an AI-centric world where it appears that computers can solve everything, it can be easy to forget the power of human connection. When you as a coach can be present with your client, hearing them, empowering them, and guiding them to enhance their life… wow. That cannot be replaced. In this episode, we're going to explore why coaching for moms specifically is so important. Moms are handed a pretty big job right away- keeping a small human being alive! And yet, that is only the beginning. The emotional care and support that is needed to help kids develop in the best possible way is a task that requires care, conscious decisions, and plenty of support surrounding us. Something few moms know (and even few coaches understand) is that children rely on their caregivers to help them co-regulate. As a mom, your own level of emotional stability and wellness has a direct impact on your kids. (Now listen, no pressure or worry, okay?! We are all human. We are a work in progress). Having said this, too many moms are overwhelmed, exhausted and reactive. I truly believe that every mom should have a coach. Guidance and help from the right coach means more moms can learn to feel more in control of their own emotions and truly give their kids what they need. Let's face it, parenting is hard. Every single kid is different, and there is no manual to follow. That's why I'm thrilled to have one of my Master Certified Coaches Meg Kuhnle share the work she does using a holistic approach to help moms connect to themselves so they can show up better as parents. Even women (and men) who are not moms will have important takeaways. There is so much good here and everyone will be able to learn something to help you become a more highly skilled coach and better serve your clients who are parents or not. With so many moms being in a “self-sacrificing” mindset, most would think they “can't justify” a personal coach until later in life. This could not be more backwards (and yet I too have fallen prey to this type of thinking). Let's talk about why every mom needs a coach now. Starting and continuing personal growth as a woman raising kids means avoiding some of the worst mom traps and ultimately being the best possible parent. We're going to go through strategies for how to cultivate energy and understand yourself more so that even during the tough moments where emotions are high, you can still be that person that you're proud of at the end of the day–and help your clients do the same.Regulate your nervous system for a calmer homeHighly skilled coaches know how important a holistic approach is for our clients, and it's no different when we're coaching for moms.

Send us a textThe journey to becoming a parent is transformative, with every expecting family deserving compassionate, continuous support through pregnancy, birth and beyond. This intimate conversation with Gail Tupin, a certified birth and postpartum doula, unveils how professional birth support dramatically improves outcomes and experiences for new families.When a doula is present at birth, intervention rates including C-sections measurably decrease – not because doulas provide medical care, but because they create a crucial buffer in the birthing environment. As Gail explains, doulas offer that essential "pause moment" between medical recommendations and parental decisions, allowing families to make choices from a place of confidence rather than fear. Unlike your medical team or even your closest loved ones, doulas bring an unbiased perspective and extensive experience with birth, creating space for parents to fully process their options.The misconception that doulas only support unmedicated births prevents many families from accessing this valuable resource. Contrary to popular belief, doulas support all birth plans – including epidurals and cesarean births – by adapting their role to each family's unique needs and preferences. The support continues into the critical fourth trimester, where postpartum doulas help new mothers process their birth experiences while creating what Gail beautifully describes as a "sanctuary space" for recovery.Though insurance coverage remains limited, some Medicaid programs now include doula services, and creative solutions like adding doula support to baby registries can make this care more accessible. Whether you're expecting your first baby or adding to your family, connecting with a doula whose personality and approach resonate with you could transform your birth experience. Reach out to Gail for a free consultation if you're in the Metro Detroit area, and discover how professional birth support might be the missing piece in your journey to parenthood.Check out Gail's website: www.rooted-doula.com or follow her on IG & FB for helpful birth and postpartum content @rooted_doulaYou can also find Gail providing pregnant and new mom support at Livingston County's premiere holisticSupport the showEnjoying the show?

Motherhood is beautiful, but it can also feel overwhelming, isolating, and even scary—especially when postpartum mental health struggles come into play. In this episode, Corrine sits down with Megan Johnson, a therapist and co-founder of The Emily Effect, for an open and much-needed conversation about maternal mental health. Megan shares the heartbreaking story of her sister Emily Dyches, who suffered from severe postpartum anxiety before tragically losing her life. Through Emily's story, Megan sheds light on the silent battles so many moms face, the stigma that keeps women from speaking up, and the resources that can truly help. Corrine and Megan also discuss signs to watch for, why postpartum struggles aren't always obvious, and what loved ones can do to help. If you've ever felt like something wasn't quite right after having a baby—or if you want to better support the moms in your life—this episode will leave you feeling informed, encouraged, and most importantly, less alone.

Today I'm excited to introduce you to Dr. Brandy Cummings, who holds a doctorate in Clinical Nutrition. She's the host of the Resilient Motherhood Summit, which I'm particularly enthusiastic about because she's created this wonderful opportunity to support women who've been dealing with chronic health issues during and after pregnancy. Pregnancy and motherhood is a beautiful and amazing time of women's life, and it can be extremely stressful and depleting for women. Nutrients can become deficient, and hormones can become imbalanced. This leaves women at risk of many different health issues, making it harder for them to take care of themselves and their children. Women have been taught that they “should” be a “super mom” – to take care of everyone without feeling overwhelmed or exhausted. But the fact is, most moms do experience fatigue, anxiety, and burnout, let alone many other health issues. And women feel their health issues aren't being adequately addressed by the standard medical system. Dr. Brandy has created the Resilient Motherhood Summit as a platform for women to learn more about the possibilities for healing, even if they've been told that healing is not possible. I'm deeply grateful to be part of the Resilient Motherhood Summit to discuss HPV and abnormal pap smears, which many mom's face without adequate help. Plus, as a stress expert, I see that when women are burned out due to not having enough support during motherhood, they become more susceptible to HPV and other health issues. As healthcare practitioners, Dr. Brandy and I both believe that women deserve and need more support – with diet, lifestyle, and overall wellness – during and after pregnancy in order to prevent health issues. We're here to help you!

Why do so many of us moms think we deserve a gold star if we manage to do everything on our own, without a single helping hand? Seriously, when did “exhausted and lonely” become the standard for success in motherhood? Spoiler: it's not. Because let's be real—we all need a community to stay sane, avoid burnout, and actually enjoy this wild ride called parenting. In this episode, we're talking with Florence Ann Romano, personal growth strategist and author of Build Your Village: A Guide to Finding Joy and Community in Every Stage of Life about why it's time to ditch the guilt of asking for help and embrace the magic of real, meaningful connections. From the six types of people you absolutely need in your circle to why finding your tribe is more important than ever, we're covering it all. Turns out, the secret to surviving motherhood isn't doing it alone—it's knowing who to call when the toddler tantrums hit hard. So, let's stop pretending we can do it all solo and start building the kind of community that lifts us up. After all, a happy mom is one who knows when to ask for help, lean on her people, and laugh through the chaos.

In this episode, we're diving into those tough days—the ones that feel heavy emotionally and physically—and why it's so hard to find peace, even when you're doing all the right things. If you've ever felt like self-care just isn't cutting it, you're not alone. We'll explore what it means to navigate those moments and how to shift your mindset to find real rest and hope, even on the hardest days.   Highlights: Challenging days remind us that growth often comes through discomfort. Self-care is a journey, not an instant solution to tough emotions. Sitting with our emotions, rather than avoiding them, fosters true healing. Struggles with rest and peace are opportunities to reassess what we truly need. Finding joy and hope in small ways helps us persevere on the hard days.

Weird Darkness is narrated by professional full-time voice actor Darren Marlar. No A.I. voices are ever used in the show.IN THIS EPISODE: It's been said that kids are more open to the supernatural, perhaps because their minds haven't been closed off to the possibilities that ghosts really exist. That makes stories about childhood hauntings even creepier. The real stories I'll be sharing in this episode include ghosts encountered by kids of all ages. The stories might convince you that the nightlight your child insists stay on in the bedroom, needs to stay on for a reason.  (Haunted Children) *** There's something inherently chilling about old orphanages. Maybe it's the fact that scary orphanage stories abound - after all, the buildings are associated with heartbroken and lonely children. And not all of these tales concern the living. Plenty of real life ghost stories feature orphanages filled with restless and vengeful child spirits. (Orphanage Ghosts) *** And what should you do if your child says they see a ghost? Do you tell them there is no such thing? Do you encourage them to believe more fully? What's the right thing to do? A couple of child psychologists have a few ideas on what you can do.
