Do you feel like you're falling short as a parent? Dr. Meg Meeker, pediatrician and parenting expert, sits down with child and family therapist Craig Knippenberg to unpack why “good enough” is more than enough in today's complex parenting landscape. Craig is the author of Shame-Free Parenting: Building Resiliency in Times of Hardship, Guns, and Social Media, and together, he and Dr. Meg explore how parents can stop chasing perfection and start parenting with compassion, consistency, and courage. You'll hear: Why perfectionism creates disconnection—and what to do instead How to distinguish healthy guilt from harmful shame The overlooked role of temperament and trauma in parenting struggles Tools for single parents, and why support networks matter more than ever The healing power of small, intentional family rituals

I've never considered myself a person who cares about fashion or "style" so when I first stumbled across Julie Allen on Instagram, I didn't expect to stick around. But something about the way she talked about clothes felt different. It was kind, approachable, and freeing. Julie teaches women how to embrace style tools instead of style rules, and as I listened to her, I realized how much that philosophy overlaps with how I think about motherhood. There's no one right way to be a mom—or to get dressed. It's about finding what fits you and building a life you love from there. Julie is a mom of six and a style educator who's passionate about helping women reconnect with themselves through the way they show up each day. In this episode, she shares three style principles that double as beautiful life lessons for moms—and they might just shift the way you think about both your wardrobe and your parenting. We'll talk about: ✨ How to use style (and motherhood) tools instead of rigid rules ✨ Why you're allowed to express different parts of yourself—on any given day ✨ The importance of building your motherhood on a foundation of your core values Whether or not you've ever cared much about fashion, this episode will help you feel more confident in showing up as you.

Jessica Slice, author of Unfit Parent: A Disabled Mother Challenges an Inaccessible World, joins Dr. Meg Meeker to share her powerful story of raising a child with a disability.

What happens when your child's story looks nothing like the one you had imagined? This heartfelt encore episode features my dear friend, Michelle Barrow—a mother of four and grandmother of six—who generously shares the wisdom she's gained from raising teenagers and supporting her adult children through life's unexpected twists. This conversation is a powerful companion to last week's episode with author Jessica N. Turner on moving forward when life doesn't turn out as planned. In this episode, Michelle invites us into her journey of learning how to let go of rigid expectations, make room for her children's evolving identities, and parent from a place of trust rather than fear. In this conversation, you'll hear:
Your health and your baby's health are top priorities. Some foods carry risks during pregnancy, and it's important to know what to avoid and how to make informed choices. It's easy to find long lists of foods you shouldn't eat, but cutting these items out of your diet can be challenging, especially if they're things you enjoy or eat regularly. Rather than simply telling you to avoid certain foods, this episode unpacks the reasons behind the recommendations so you can better understand the risks. You'll also hear about a few foods that don't typically appear on “do not eat” lists but may still be worth paying attention to. This episode will arm you with the knowledge you need to make confident decisions about what you are comfortable eating during pregnancy.

When you were younger, did you imagine your life turning out a certain way? Maybe you thought you'd have a house full of children, a forever kind of love, or a career that lit you up. But what happens when the reality of your life looks nothing like the dream? In this heartfelt and hope-filled episode, I sit down with bestselling author Jessica N. Turner to talk about how to rise from life's deepest disappointments and rebuild something beautiful. Jessica vulnerably shares her personal story of walking through a midlife divorce after her husband of 16 years came out—and the healing journey that followed. Whether you're grieving the loss of a dream, struggling through a transition, or just feeling stuck in unmet expectations, this conversation will help you:

It's tempting to think that we're protecting their belief in the world and in humanity by shielding them from the horrors of the past, but real hope isn't built on illusions.
From a biological perspective, there's a limited window for getting pregnant, spanning from reproductive age through menopause. While that offers many years of opportunity, there's never a perfect time to have a baby. You might find yourself expecting earlier than planned, or life may lead you to parenthood later than you imagined. Whether you're in your 20s, 30s, or 40s, age can influence many aspects of pregnancy, like fertility, potential risks, and even emotional or financial readiness. Many women feel pressure to have children before their 35th birthday. This idea stems from classifying pregnancy at 35 or older as “advanced maternal age.” Although this label is based on increased statistical risks, this high-risk label can create unnecessary anxiety. Especially considering most pregnancies in this age group are healthy and uncomplicated. There are also real advantages to becoming a parent in your mid-thirties or beyond. In this episode, we'll explore how pregnancy experiences can vary across ages, what the evidence says about the risks of advanced maternal age, and how you can make confident, informed choices no matter where you are on your journey to parenthood.

Pregnancy brings many changes to your body, including hormone changes and how your urinary system functions. These changes can increase the risk of developing a urinary tract infection, the most common bacterial infection during pregnancy. A UTI can be uncomfortable and may lead to complications if left untreated. The good news is that they are highly treatable. In this episode, we break down everything you need to know about UTIs during pregnancy, from symptoms and testing to prevention and treatment options. We also explore the evidence behind popular home remedies like cranberry juice and probiotics. Whether you've had a UTI before or want to be informed, this episode will help you feel confident in recognizing and addressing this common pregnancy concern.

++ Three questions to ask yourself when trying to discover your God given purpose.. In this episode, Kayla and Katie explore the significance of habits, faith, and discovering one's God-given purpose. The conversation highlights the idea that everyone has a unique purpose and the importance of being able to recognize and reflect on the gifts, talents, and passions God called you to live out. They explore the themes of purpose, discernment, the importance of integrity in decision-making, and how personal pain can be transformed into a platform for helping others. PLUS SO MUCH MORE! Takeaways Everyone has a God-given purpose that they should strive to discover. Life experiences guide us toward our true calling. Faith and daily practices are essential for staying aligned with purpose. Obstacles and distractions can hinder our spiritual journey. Integrity is always rewarded by God. What breaks your heart can guide you to your purpose. If it's the Lord's will, it cannot be stopped. Delayed obedience is still disobedience; act promptly. Act on what doesn't make sense; it may lead to growth. God-sized dreams often defy logic and require faith. You are most qualified to help the person you once were.
