This week, the Mamas are recording from the Happiest Place on Earth! Right in the middle of the tour - while Melanie stayed on the east coast - Codie and Ashley are joined by their families at Disneyland Resort for a special summer check-in filled with laughter, reflections, and a little bit of Disney magic. From celebrating Asiyah's birthday and debating the best rides to swapping summer plans and parenting updates, this was the family time the Mamas needed. The Mamas also open up about the bittersweet reality of watching their children grow up. Ashley shares why this summer is all about supporting Amirah as she prepares for college tours and her future beyond home, while Codie reflects on balancing work, rest, and making meaningful memories with her kids. And because no Mama conversation stays on one topic for long, the episode ends with stories about first crushes, first boyfriends, and the surprisingly sweet qualities their children value in "a crush". It's a joyful, lighthearted reminder that the seasons of motherhood move fast—and every stage deserves to be savored. Whether you're planning an epic vacation or just trying to make it through summer break, this episode is your reminder to slow down, enjoy your kids, and make the memories while you can. Because one minute you're pushing a stroller... and the next you're planning college tours.

On this episode, Sonia and Jessica share life updates, why they disappeared for a bit and honestly needed the break, a chaotic unexpectedly long drive home from Logan Airport with major GPS betrayal energy, moving into a new apartment and adjusting to a whole new normal, potty training wins, fails, and absolutely unhinged toddler moments, Annabelle's dance recital experience (including emotional mom moments and hilarious tap dance chaos), thoughts on homeschooling and preschool activities, plus what's next for ‘Geriatric' Mamas—including getting back into a regular rhythm and finally bringing guests onto the podcast. It's funny, emotional, slightly unhinged, and very “are we okay?” energy.

Somewhere along the way, so many women stopped feeling like their life was actually theirs.Between running a business, raising kids, supporting a partner, caring for aging parents, and carrying the emotional weight of everyone else's needs, it's easy to end up stuck in survival mode — exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering where you went.In this heartfelt conversation, Lianne Kim sits down with longtime friend and pediatric chiropractor turned Joy Coach, Dr. Ali Miller, to talk about what's really happening beneath the surface for burned-out moms and women entrepreneurs.Drawing from more than two decades of working with moms, Dr. Ali explains how chronic stress impacts the nervous system, why “just take a break” isn't enough, and how tiny moments of connection, movement, and joy can begin to regulate the body and help women reconnect with themselves again.Together, they unpack the identity shifts that happen throughout motherhood, the pressure women feel to constantly give to everyone else, and why reclaiming joy is not selfish — it's essential.This episode is a reminder that you are not failing. You are likely just depleted. And sometimes the path back to yourself starts with five intentional minutes.In this episode, you'll discover:Why so many moms and women entrepreneurs feel stuck in “survival mode”The hidden nervous system impact of constantly caring for everyone elseWhy self-care days often don't work when you're deeply burned outHow motherhood changes your identity in every season — not just when kids leave homeThe connection between nervous system regulation and joySmall, practical “joy resets” that take less than five minutesWhy meaningful friendships and connection matter more than ever in this stage of lifeHow to model joy, boundaries, and self-worth for your childrenWhy reclaiming your joy is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your familyTimestamps:00:00 – Introducing Dr. Ali Miller and the journey from chiropractor to Joy Coach02:00 – Why motherhood is emotionally and physically exhausting05:00 – The therapist question that changed Ali's perspective forever07:00 – The identity shifts moms experience as children grow09:00 – What it feels like when your life no longer feels like your own10:00 – Why “just take a break” doesn't actually solve burnout11:00 – Understanding the nervous system: survival mode vs. regulation14:00 – How survival mode shows up in your business, body, and relationships17:00 – Why joy becomes inaccessible when your nervous system is overwhelmed18:00 – Simple five-minute nervous system resets anyone can do20:00 – The surprising healing power of friendship and connection24:00 – Reconnecting with old friends and relationships in a new season of life26:00 – Creating your personal “joy list” and rediscovering what lights you up29:00 – What to do when you feel too overwhelmed for even one more thing31:00 – Modeling self-worth and joy for your children34:00 – Why movement and exercise regulate more than just your body35:00 – Inside Dr. Ali's Joy Reset Kit36:00 – Final advice for women stuck in burnout and survival mode38:00 – Where to connect with Dr. Ali MillerLinks mentioned:Joy Reset KitWebsite: https://www.thejoycoach.ca/Instagram: @the_joycoach—Connect with me: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/liannekimcoach Instagram: @liannekimcoachJoin the Mamas & Co. community to get access to valuable resources and the support of likeminded mompreneurs and mentors: https://www.mamasandco.com Instagram: @mamasandcoPodcasting support:https://theultimatecreative.com

Over the last 7 days, The Mama's Den did live shows in Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia ANNNNNDDD Ashley and Codie recorded at Disneyland! The Mamas are out here doing this most! The MOM'S NIGHT OUT tour ended this past Saturday but here is your glimpse into the live experience which is filled with the kind of honest, hilarious, healing conversations only the ladies of the Den can deliver. From Ashley hand-expressing breast milk in the club to the mamas juggling parenting schedules, college tours, dance drop-offs, therapy, perimenopause, and the emotional weight of raising kids while still trying to care for ourselves… the Mamas and the Chicago audience keep it all the way real. Ashley, Melanie, and Codie open up about the motherhood stage they're currently navigating — from parenting teenagers to surviving the “Maycember” chaos, to feeling like marriage and parenting is one long relay race. Plus, the audience shares what it actually took to show up for themselves that night, and trust us… moms are doing THE MOST. The Mamas are also joined by women's health expert Dr. Jessica Shepherd for an important segment about hormones, mental health, midlife changes, and why women deserve support through every season of life. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, touched out, guilty, exhausted, emotional, grateful, or deeply in need of a night out with your girls… this episode is for you.

https://www.markwinne.com/ https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/road-to-a-hungerfree-america-9798765132340/ https://www.cultivatingself.org/ Today, we are diving deep into the blueprints (or green prints) of food democracy with Mark Winne. For over forty years, Mark has been at the forefront of the food justice movement, bridging the gap between grassroots activism and structural policy. As a co-founder of some of the nation's very first Food Policy Councils, he took food out of the realm of simple charity and turned it into an act of local self-governance. Through his acclaimed books like Food Town, USA, Food Rebels, Guerrilla Gardeners, and Smart Cookin' Mamas and Closing the Food Gap, Mark has spent decades documenting how communities can reclaim their food systems from corporate monopolies. His work proves that when you organize municipal food policy around equity, you don't just feed people—you build community wealth, improve public health, and revitalize local economies. He is here to remind us that a resilient democracy begins at the kitchen table and the town hall.
Welcome back, Duckies! It's that episode you've been waiting for! It's time for the Bubble Bath Stories brackets. And this year, we have to settle an argument. Who is the best TV mom? Boy, that's a tough one! We all love Moms! Especially on TV. And we all have that one mom-character that makes us think “I wash my mom was like that” or “wow! My mom is JUST like that”. So, what better way to honor these gals, then to put them up against each other today?It took some debating, but we got a list down of sixteen of TV's best moms to help raise us to the adults we are today. It takes a village, right? Well, these ladies were there for us each time we tuned in. Whether it was Sophia and Rochelle's tough love we need to hear or Kitty's contestant upbeat, welcoming attitude we want to see when we get home with our friends. We got what we needed for half-hour broadcasts. And how, we want to give these ladies their flowers. But, to whom? Join us and our special guest, Melissa (BBS Alumni), as we debate this. Which mom did the best on-screen mothering? Claire Dunphy or Clair Huxtable? Which boy-mom had the strongest will? Lois Wilkerson or Jill Taylor? Which mom gave you the business when you needed to hear it best? Sophia Petrillo or OG Aunt Viv (the real Aunt Viv)? Who gave the most mothering vibe, but still cracked the whip and kept the house together?It's time to find out! But anyways, tell us what you think!- How many of these Mothers helped raise you?- Is Reba THE survivor when it comes to Mamas?- Does Marge have the best budgeting skills on TV?To keep up with the Ducks in charge follow:FB & IG: @BubblebathstoriesNicky Trendz IG: @nickyTRENDZManny Oso IG: @gotnotime4dissFor official Merch head over to Bubblebathstories.co☎️ Or call us at 347-878-1144 !!!
You are working hard. You are showing up. You are doing the things.And yet — the money still isn't where you want it to be.Here's the truth that most people won't say out loud: women are still leaving enormous amounts of money on the table. Not because they lack talent, or work ethic, or passion. But because no one ever taught them how to think about money — how to want it without guilt, charge for it without fear, and keep it without shame.To celebrate 400 episodes of The Business of Thinking Big, Lianne Kim is pulling out her ultimate money playlist — 10 of her most powerful, most downloaded, and most personally meaningful episodes on all things money. From making your first million to busting through the money blocks that keep you playing small, this episode is your starting point, your resource library, and your permission slip to finally earn what you're worth.Every episode mentioned is linked in the show notes.

Returning Dig Me Out Union patron Josh Page is back from Australia with his second pick, and this one is geo-locked to his home country for most of the world. The Hummingbirdsformed in Sydney in 1986, signed to rooArt Records (the label founded by INXS manager Chris Murphy), and recorded their debut loveBUZZ in 1989 with producer Mitch Easter, the same man behind R.E.M.'s Murmur and Reckoning. The album hit ARIA #31, the single "Blush" reached #19, and they went Gold in Australia. Outside Australia, almost nobody has ever heard it.Jay, Tim, and Chip dig into the record with Josh, covering the intricate boy-girl vocal harmonies that draw comparisons to early R.E.M., The Lemonheads, Throwing Muses, and Belly; the punchy drumming that gives jangle pop some actual weight; and the Lemonheads connection most fans don't know: Robin St. Clair and Nic Dalton co-wrote "Into Your Arms" during this era, Evan Dando recorded it, and it became the biggest hit of the Lemonheads' career.Timestamps: 5:05 Band history and Mitch Easter connection | 6:09 The Lemonheads origin story | 14:19 "Alimony" | 19:17 "Get On Down" | 28:51 "House Taken Over" (and the unauthorized house remix) | 38:48 "If You Leave" | 42:08 VerdictsThe hosts split 2-1, and the community voted 80% Better EP.

The Mama's Den podcast is still on tour and guess who is with us!! Ashley's literal day one, Nalo Wise, of course. This week in the Den, we are running back our conversation with Nalo after she held us down for the first ever Mama's Den live show. Born just days apart and best friends since infancy, Ashley and Nalo have grown up side by side through every stage of life. From childhood memories and teenage growing pains to marriage, motherhood, their bond has endured because of honesty, forgiveness, and a deep commitment to choosing each other again and again. Nothing is off limits in this conversation—including the season when Nalo's husband wasn't exactly Ashley's biggest fan. Together, the Mamas explore what it really takes to maintain decades-long friendships as women and mothers, and why the friendships that know us best can become some of the most important relationships in our lives. If you've ever wondered how some friendships survive changing seasons, shifting priorities, and the demands of motherhood, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that the right friends grow with you. There are three more stops on The Mama's Den tour aka MOM'S NIGHT OUT! Get your tickets.

Animasterpiece Double Feature sexy witches and waterlogged creatures... Tonight, Anime Was (Not) A Mistake gets classy as we focus on two highly lauded anime feature length classics from time gone by. First, we are off to the pastel water colors of France in Eiichi Yamamoto's morality tale Belladonna of Sadness (1973). When the young innocent Jeanne is beset by every man, devil, and facet of the human race, she has no choice but to become a witch. Will her loveliness succumb to dark desires or is she but a mirror that will inspire all of humanity to follow suit? Next, we are off to the past or the future, in a silent, wet, dark world with Mamoru Oshii's seminal Angel's Egg (1985). In a world where people are scarce and all is passed down through biblical lore, will we discover what lies just under the shell of this egg? One girl potentially holds the world's inner workings close to her chest, but is she or we the true dreamer? Make sure to don your gowns and jewels and oh yes, bring your opera glasses! Bet you never thought that this silly little anime podcast could revel in the medium that is cinema.

In this episode of Jrodconcerts The Podcast, we go behind the curtain with Tiff Randol, the multidimensional artist, composer, and producer known as IAMEVE. Tiff's journey is a masterclass in artistic evolution—from her formative days interning at Philip Glass's Looking Glass Studios (where she was a fly on the wall for David Bowie's recording sessions) to becoming a powerhouse composer for major projects like Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters and Ray Donovan. We dive deep into the technical and emotional craft behind her latest music, including the single "Desire" and her album Legacy. Tiff also opens up about her experience as a neurodivergent creator and her vital advocacy work as the co-founder of Mamas in Music, a global nonprofit reshaping the industry infrastructure for caregivers and mothers. Inside the Episode: The Creative Hack: The power of splitting time between the industry energy of the West Coast and the sanctuary of Upstate New York. Leaning Into the Shadows: Navigating the dark electronic textures of her single "Desire" without losing herself in the process. The Bowie Influence: What it was like seeing David Bowie and Philip Glass work in the studio and how that shaped her technical "hybrid language." Neurodivergence as an Advantage: Why having a "different process" can be a secret weapon for creative world-building. Mamas in Music: The mission to dismantle the "disappear or burnout" expectation for mothers in the industry. From Screen to Sound: The visceral feeling of hearing her compositions in a movie theater and on hit television series.

“KinKeeper” Where Did All the Big Mamas Go? “Is the African-American Community Fully Converted to Society's Individualistic Mindset?” Tonight's conversation ruptures the fake simplicity of “family talk” and drags us directly into the psychological autopsy of a civilization losing its emotional loadbearing structures in real time. Somewhere between social media, survival capitalism, hyper-individualism, therapy language, algorithmic reality, burnout culture, economic exhaustion, and digital self-construction, the African-American community may have quietly drifted from a collectivistic nervous system into a privatized survival mentality where emotional responsibility increasingly feels heavier than love itself. Big Mama represented more than an elder. She functioned as infrastructure. Emotional regulation. Historical continuity. Nervous-system stabilization. Spiritual accountability. Kinship memory. Conflict mediation. Intergenerational translation. She carried people through grief, addiction, betrayal, financial collapse, violence, depression, church hurt, infidelity, and psychological fragmentation without constantly announcing her exhaustion to the world. Modern culture now produces people who require isolation to recover from ordinary interaction itself. That contradiction deserves examination. How did a people who survived slavery, segregation, lynching, economic exclusion, redlining, and collective trauma through communal interdependence gradually become psychologically reorganized around “leave me alone,” “protect my peace,” “I don't owe anybody anything,” and emotionally gated self-preservation? How did boundaries become more aspirational than belonging? How did convenience become more valuable than continuity? How did the algorithm become more emotionally influential than the elder? This generation possesses unprecedented access to information while simultaneously struggling to sustain community, patience, relational endurance, and collective emotional stewardship. Many people now possess followers instead of villages, platforms instead of porches, visibility instead of intimacy, therapeutic vocabulary instead of nervous-system resilience, and personalized feeds instead of kinship identity. The deeper question waiting beneath tonight's topic vibrates with terrifying weight: Did Big Mama disappear? Or did modern society psychologically condition people out of the capacity, endurance, sacrifice, empathy, and spiritual stamina required to become her? Questions to consider: When the Black family stopped gathering around the dinner table and started gathering around personalized algorithms, did technology quietly replace Big Mama as the architect of values? If previous generations inherited identity through kinship, church, neighborhood, ritual, and oral storytelling, what happens when modern identity gets outsourced to screens, influencers, and digital spectatorship? Has social media transformed community from a lived experience into a performance economy where visibility matters more than responsibility? Did smartphones make communication constant while simultaneously destroying emotional intimacy? If Big Mama once represented a living archive of memory, what happens when Google replaces elders as the first source of wisdom? Has technology democratized knowledge while simultaneously eroding reverence for lived experience? When children can access millions of strangers online but barely know their cousins, what kind of social evolution are we actually witnessing? Did the African-American community survive historical oppression through collective interdependence only to enter modernity and voluntarily adopt hyper-individualism as success? Has the language of “freedom” quietly become the language of disconnection? If social media monetizes attention, outrage, desirability, and self-display, can communal consciousness survive inside an economy built on personal branding?

Network marketing didn't just help us build businesses… It made us better mamas. More resilient. More resourceful. More confident. More willing to grow, stretch, lead, and believe bigger — not just for ourselves, but for the little eyes watching us. In this heartfelt Mother's Day episode, Melissa and I are sharing how this industry has shaped the way we mother, provide, dream, and show up. Because sometimes when you're in the thick of it, it's hard to see what's really happening. You're not just making dollars. You're becoming someone new. And friend… that matters. Share this one with your team, a sideline sister, or a mama in this industry who needs the reminder: You're doing a good job.

This is one of those conversations every parent needs to hear...so we had to RUN IT BACK. Certified sex educator, intimacy expert, and bestselling author Shan Boodram joins the Mamas for an honest, hilarious, and deeply informative conversation about how to talk to our children about their bodies, boundaries, consent, crushes, and sex—without fear or shame. From toddlers touching themselves to teenagers navigating their first relationships, Shan walks us through what healthy sexual development actually looks like at every age and explains why giving kids the correct language for their body parts can be one of the most powerful ways to protect them. The Mamas also get personal, sharing their own experiences with purity culture, parenting teenagers, and the very real tension between wanting to keep our children safe while preparing them for healthy, loving relationships. Whether you're raising toddlers, tweens, or teens, this episode is packed with practical guidance, unforgettable laughs, and the kind of information many of us wish our own parents had. Trust us: save this episode, send it to your partner, and share it with every parent you know. ____ The Mama's Den is on tour throughout May and there are THREE cities left!

In a special Mother's Day takeover episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, the mics are handed over to two incredible moms—Kelsi and Rebecca—bringing a fresh, hilarious, and heartfelt perspective to the show fans know and love. This unique episode flips the script as the usual dad hosts step aside, proving once again that fandom and family go hand-in-hand… and that moms might just run the show better anyway. The episode kicks off with the signature Question of the Week: “What is something that mothers typically do much better than fathers?” What starts as a thoughtful discussion quickly evolves into a fun mix of honest insights, playful debate, and—unsurprisingly—a few proud wife moments as Kelsi and Rebecca take time to brag on their husbands. It's the perfect blend of humor and authenticity that sets the tone for the entire episode. With the roll of the dice guiding the journey, the hosts dive straight into a special twist on a fan-favorite segment: “Mommy, Tell Me A Story.” Here, the two moms share real-life parenting tales that are equal parts chaotic and relatable. With four sons between them, it's no surprise the conversation veers into an abundance of potty-training stories—because let's face it, parenting young boys comes with its own brand of unforgettable adventures. Next up, the dice decree it's time for “Bad Mom Jokes.” Kelsi kicks things off with some delightfully groan-worthy, mom-themed humor before Rebecca raises the stakes by pulling out a deck of joke cards, delivering punchlines that are as cringe-worthy as they are hilarious. It's the kind of segment that will have listeners laughing, groaning, and maybe even stealing a few jokes for themselves. The momentum continues with “What Are You Nerding Out About?” where the hosts let their fandom flags fly. Kelsi shares her fascination with Autopsy of a Fairytale by Nicole Scarano—a captivating blend of Disney nostalgia and true crime intrigue—while Rebecca dives into her passion for music, especially the energizing themes that fuel her Zumba classes. It's a reminder that no matter how busy life gets, there's always room to embrace what you love. As the dice roll on, the conversation shifts into the thoughtful “How Do I…?” segment. Here, Kelsi and Rebecca open up about the challenge many moms face: finding time for themselves without being overwhelmed by mom guilt. Their candid discussion offers practical insights, encouragement, and a much-needed reminder that self-care isn't selfish—it's essential. Finally, the episode wraps with the “Ministry of Mamas” segment, where the hosts react to a jaw-dropping Reddit story involving a messy divorce, a controversial mother-in-law, and a wedding ultimatum that puts family loyalty to the test. Kelsi and Rebecca break down the situation with humor, empathy, and just the right amount of sass, leaving listeners with plenty to think about. This Mother's Day special isn't just a fun twist—it's a celebration of motherhood, fandom, and the beautifully chaotic lives that connect them. Whether you're here for the laughs, the stories, or the relatable parenting moments, this episode is a perfect reminder to Find your FAMdom and embrace every part of the journey.

You're doing the work. Showing up, serving clients, keeping the wheels turning. But somewhere between the invoices and the to-do lists, a quiet question keeps surfacing:Is this it? Is this what I built all of this for?Most of us got into entrepreneurship with a bigger vision in mind. A movement we wanted to lead. A life we wanted to design. An impact we knew we were capable of making. But the daily grind has a way of shrinking our thinking — until we're so focused on what's right in front of us that we've completely lost sight of where we're actually headed.In this solo episode, Lianne Kim gives you permission to step off the hamster wheel and look up. She walks through three distinct phases of the entrepreneurial journey — from building to “pre-tirement” to retirement — and invites you to start dreaming about what each one could look like for you. Not someday. Now.Because if you can't first dream it, you can't possibly build it.In this episode, you'll discover:Why getting caught up in the daily grind quietly kills your bigger vision — and how to zoom back outThe three phases of the entrepreneurial journey every business owner needs to be thinking about: building, pre-tirement, and retirementWhat “pre-tirement” actually looks like — and why it's the phase most entrepreneurs never plan for (but desperately need)How to think about selling, passing on, or winding down your business so it becomes a financial legacy, not just a door you closeA powerful visioning exercise to reconnect with the impact you're here to make — and the number of lives you want to changeTimestamps: 00:00 – Feeling stuck on the hamster wheel?

Mother's Day is coming… but what do moms actually want? In this episode, the Mamas get real about the gap between expectation and reality—from breakfast-in-bed moments that still come with responsibility, to the truth that sometimes the best gift is space, rest, and not being needed for a few hours. We talk about: Why “a day off” doesn't always feel like a day off Navigating Mother's Day with partners, kids… and your own mama The guilt (and necessity) of choosing yourself Teaching our kids to care for us the way we care for them And the bigger conversation: setting boundaries, standing in your truth, and loving yourself more Of course, it wouldn't be The Mama's Den without a little chaos, a lot of laughs, and some unfiltered moments along the way. If you've ever felt like Mother's Day didn't quite hit the way you hoped… this one is for you. And don't forget—we're outside all May for our Mom's Night Out Tour. Come celebrate motherhood with us in real life!
You've told yourself it's greedy to want more money. That you should just be grateful for what you have. That people with wealth are selfish — and you refuse to be one of them.But what if that belief — the one you thought was keeping you humble — is actually keeping you stuck?In this episode, Lianne Kim sits down with Chelsea Corea, CEO and Design Lead of EBO Design, who spent years quietly sabotaging her own success. She undercharged. She waited for sales before spending. She told herself wanting more money was shameful — a belief quietly passed down from the adults in her life, from church pews and dinner tables, absorbed long before she ever owned a business.It wasn't until Chelsea started naming the belief — and doing the work to dismantle it — that everything changed. She raised her prices. She hired her first outside team member. And when a family tragedy hit, she had the support in place to take a week off without her business falling apart.This episode is for every woman who has ever felt guilty for wanting more. Because wanting more isn't greedy. It's actually the most selfless thing you can do.In this episode, you'll discover:Why the belief that 'wanting money is greedy' is one of the most harmful things holding women back in business.How childhood money messages silently shape adult behavior — and how to finally spot yoursThe real-world behaviors that reveal your hidden money blocks (hint: are you always waiting for the sale?).Simple daily practices — affirmations, gratitude, visualizations — that actually rewire how you think about money.Why charging more isn't about greed — it's about building a life and business that truly serves your family and community.Timestamps: 01:00 – Meet Chelsea Corea — interior designer, mom of three, and CEO of EBO Design05:00 – Why Chelsea reached out: identifying the money blocks holding her back09:00 – The belief: "It's selfish to want money" 14:00 – From waiting for sales to passing money scarcity onto her kids17:00 – The moment Chelsea knew she had to change21:00 – The specific actions that shifted everything: affirmations, wins tracking, and community28:00 – Making her first outside hire — and why it felt terrifying33:00 – The unexpected moment that proved hiring was the right call36:00 – The ripple effect: why making more money is actually an act of generosity40:00 – Final tips for anyone ready to reset their money mindsetLinks:Episode 389: https://www.liannekim.com/blog/389Brenda Brix: https://www.brendabrix.com/Mamas & Co: https://www.mamasandco.com/Profit First book: https://mikemichalowicz.com/profit-first/Chelsey's website: https://www.ebodesign.ca/Chelsey's IG: https://www.instagram.com/e.b.o.design/—Connect with me: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/liannekimcoach Instagram: @liannekimcoachJoin the Mamas & Co. community to get access to valuable resources and the support of likeminded mompreneurs and mentors: https://www.mamasandco.com Instagram: @mamasandcoPodcasting support:https://theultimatecreative.com

Right after our very first live show, we sat down and told the truth about what it actually took to make it happen — the pressure, the fear, the behind-the-scenes chaos… and the moments we weren't sure we could pull it off at all. We went back and tightened this episode because the message still hits. It's scary. It's hard. And it's exactly what moms do. The Mama's Den is on tour starting one week from today, May 4th.
