In this episode of Legacy - A Mom Podcast, Tina and Britt unpack the powerful biblical principle of reaping and sowing—and what it means for your faith, your choices, and the legacy you're building as a Christian mom. After a real-life garden lesson (and a reminder from Matthew 13 that roots matter), they dive into Galatians 6:7–8 to explain why “you reap what you sow” is not karma—it's God's moral order. You'll hear eye-opening Old Testament connections that show how seeds of deception, integrity, and obedience produce specific outcomes across generations, plus hope-filled examples of Joseph andHannah that encourage moms to keep sowing faithfulness in hidden seasons.·       What sowing to the flesh vs. sowing to the Spirit looks like in everyday life (Galatians 6:7–8)·       Why you reap later than you sow—and often more than you planted·       How God uses Scripture details to connect thedots: Jacob & Esau (Genesis 27), Jacob & Laban (Genesis 29), Judah & Tamar (Genesis 38), Pharaoh & the Red Sea (Exodus 1–14)·       Encouragement for moms: small seeds of prayer,gentleness, and forgiveness can become generational fruit (Joseph; Hannah in 1 Samuel 1)·       Practical reflection: What seeds are you planting in your home—peace or anxiety, kindness or bitterness, worship or apathy?Keywords: Christian parenting, biblical motherhood, reapingand sowing, Galatians 6:7-8, spiritual legacy, Christian mom encouragement, faith and parenting, Bible study podcast, Old Testament patterns, parable of the sower, prayer for children, generational legacy.If this conversation encouraged you, follow Legacy and MomPodcast for more Bible-centered conversations on parenting, faith, and building a legacy that lasts.

Drawing from her experience as a missionary, parent, and ministry leader, Beth shares practical, faith-filled wisdom for navigating tough conversations with confidence and compassion.

In this episode of Carpool Conversations, Amy and Marissa sit down with author, speaker, and podcast host Tara Sun to talk about something every parent feels but rarely escapes—overwhelm. Between packed schedules, constant noise, and the pressure to “do it all,” finding peace can feel out of reach. Drawing from her book Overbooked and Overwhelmed, Tara shares her personal story of hitting a turning point that revealed just how disconnected she had become—from God, from her purpose, and even from the present moments of motherhood. With honesty and encouragement, she reminds parents that peace isn't found in perfect systems or better time management, but in a deeper awareness of God's presence in the middle of everyday chaos. Together, they explore what it looks like to shift your mindset, slow down internally (even when life doesn't), and reconnect with what truly matters. Tara offers practical, grace-filled strategies for navigating overstimulation, cultivating self-awareness, and breaking free from the cycle of constant busyness. If you're feeling stretched thin, mentally exhausted, or just longing for a little more calm in your parenting journey, this conversation will meet you right where you are—and point you toward lasting peace.

There's a voice in you that doesn't need proof… but somehow we're always asking it for receipts.This episode lives in that space.The gut feeling you tried to explain away. The moment you second-guessed… then circled back like, “yeah… I knew.”We're getting into what it actually looks like to trust that voice, how easily we override it, and what changes when you start listening differently; especially when your faith is part of the conversation.This one's not loud… but it sticks.YouTube PlaylistNational Library Of Medicine ArticleNational Institute of Mental Health ArticleMonster Nanny ArticleWashington Post ArticleSend us Fan Mail Support the show

This week, we're talking mac & cheese success stories, dusty closets, March Madness, and a few hot takes on pop culture—but underneath it all, we're asking a bigger question:Why are we so tired?Nothing's wrong. Life is good. And yet… we're running on empty.We get real about what self-care actually looks like right now—from cold plunge curiosity to the reality of trying to recharge without adding more to your plate.

 Making friends as a mom is harder than dating… and somehow more confusing Making friends as a mom comes with a lot of questions…Like: “Are we close?” “Are our kids the reason we talk?” “Do I text first or is that too much?”In this episode of Moms and Their Music, we're talking about the reality of friendships in motherhood — the effort it takes, the awkwardness of making new connections, and why keeping friendships strong can feel harder than it used to.We also dive into the differences between friendships with moms and friendships with friends who don't have kids — and how both can feel meaningful, but very different.It's honest, a little chaotic, and very much a “you're not the only one figuring this out as you go” kind of conversation.Youtube Playlist  -There's not much on there for this one, honestly.

This week, the sisters cover a lot of ground—from a surprisingly effective skincare tip you'll want to remember, to the very real stress of figuring out what to wear to a black tie optional wedding without losing your mind (or your budget).In “What's the Buzz,” things take a turn into the irrational (and maybe not-so-irrational) as they unpack fears around flying, bridges, gondolas, and self-driving cars—basically, all the ways modern life can quietly freak you out.Then it's onto the main event: surviving the back half of the school year. With junior year in full swing, the conversation gets honest about burnout, pressure, and the myth that effort always equals results. The sisters share practical advice for both parents and kids—how to communicate better, when to step in, and why building relationships (not just GPAs) actually matters.And in “What's for Dinner,” Kathy takes on the ambitious task of making mac and cheese for 50 lacrosse players… and lives to tell the tale (barely). Spoiler: it involves a new food processor, a kitchen disaster, and a lot of cheese.As always head to threelilfishes.com/shownotes for links and recipes.

From big questions to big imaginations, every child has a unique spark of creativity worth noticing and nurturing.

 A single dad. A teenage daughter. And the moment parenting shifts from protecting to preparing. This week on Moms and Their Music, we open the door to a different side of the parenting experience.In our first-ever Dad-isode, our anchor host sits down with Billy Boy, a single father raising a teenage daughter as she steps into a new phase of independence.What unfolds is a conversation about trust, growth, and the delicate balance between holding on and letting go.From navigating the teenage years to reflecting on the role music plays in shaping memories and connection, this episode highlights the often-unspoken thoughts behind fatherhood; especially when raising a daughter.It's a perspective that is rarely centered, but deeply important.Youtube Playlist for this EpisodeSend us Fan Mail Support the show

 For the first time ever, the full MATM trio is finally in the same room… and the conversation goes exactly as off the rails as you'd expect. No missing chairs. No scheduling chaos. Just the full trio doing what we do best; laughing too hard, telling stories we probably shouldn't, and saying the quiet parts out loud.What started as a simple recording quickly turned into one of the most fun sessions we've had so far. The energy in the room was unreal, the stories escalated faster than expected, and more than once we looked at each other and asked, “Should we cut that?” …and then decided not to.This episode is what happens when moms finally get to talk about a night out and the conversation goes completely off the rails; the kind of honest, hilarious, and sometimes chaotic storytelling that comes from real friendship, motherhood, and life lived out loud.If you've ever wondered what happens when three moms get together to talk about parenting, life, music, and the stories that come with it… this episode is exactly that moment.Grab your drink or mocktail, settle in, and come hang out with us.Trust us… this one gets wild.Youtube PlaylistSend a text Support the show

Kids experience a lot of emotions—and sometimes those feelings can change by the minute. As parents, it can be hard to know how to help our kids understand what they're feeling and express themselves in healthy ways.  In this episode we sit down with author, speaker, and family coach Dr. Josh Straub to talk about why emotional awareness matters and how parents can create space for meaningful conversations about feelings. Josh and his wife, Christi, have dedicated their work to helping families grow in emotional intelligence and healthy relationships. Together, they've written a children's book series designed to help kids name and navigate their emotions. In this conversation, they discuss why helping kids identify their feelings is such an important part of spiritual and emotional growth, how simple tools can help kids express what they're feeling, and how parents can guide their children to invite God into every emotion—from anger and worry to joy and gratitude. If you've ever wondered how to help your child talk about big emotions—or how to respond with empathy when feelings run high—this episode offers practical encouragement and simple ways to start meaningful, faith-centered conversations at home. -- Meet our guest: Josh Straub Book: What Am I Feeling - by Dr. Josh Straub & Christi Straub Book: What Do I Do With Anger?

The first baby changes your life. The second baby changes everything else.In Episode 6 of Moms and Their Music, we're talking about the beautifully chaotic reality of welcoming that second child; the shift in family dynamics, the emotional curveballs, the moments that make you laugh just to keep from crying, and the realization that whatever you thought you had figured out the first time… might not apply anymore.This episode is also a long-awaited MATM milestone as Rachel finally joins us on the mic, bringing her voice, perspective, and lived experience into the conversation for the first time.Motherhood doesn't come with a manual, and adding another tiny human to the mix has a funny way of rewriting the rules you thought you understood.So come hang out with us as we talk about the surprises, the struggles, the humor, and the unexpected beauty that comes with that second child.Because if the first baby teaches you how to become a mom… the second one teaches you how to roll with it.Youtube Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwnGrdjqohPKHIpcpVSStTecLqu-AUnr0&si=rCD8QxT0nUHAP94nNewey Soundcloud:Stream NEWEY music | https://soundcloud.com/neweymusicSend us Fan Mail Support the show

Send a textThe Active Mom Podcast just crossed 100,000 downloads and 200+ episodes, which honestly feels a little surreal. So for this one, I did something a little different… In this solo episode, I reflect on how the podcast started back when it was the Active Mom Postpartum Podcast, how it evolved into conversations about pregnancy, postpartum, pelvic floor health, return to running, perimenopause, and menopause, and some of the guests and moments that shaped the show along the way.I talk about the interviews that challenged my thinking the most, the hardest episodes to record, and how talking with researchers, clinicians, athletes, and everyday moms has changed the way I practice as a pelvic floor physical therapist.This podcast has always been about one thing: making women's health research, pelvic floor information, women's stories and real conversations about movement and performance more accessible.In this episode I talk about:• Why I started the Active Mom Podcast • What it means to reach 100,000 downloads in a very niche space • How the show evolved from postpartum conversations to women's health across the lifespan • Some of the guests and research conversations that shaped my thinking • The episodes that were the hardest to record • Misunderstandings that still exist around pelvic floor function and exercise • What I hope the next chapter of the podcast createsIf you've been listening for a while, I'd love to hear your favorite episode or guest — send me a message and let me know.If this podcast has helped you feel more informed, less alone, or more confident navigating symptoms like leakage, prolapse, pain, or return to running, I'd love for you to share it with a friend or leave a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐review.Thanks for being here and for helping make 200 episodes possible.Topics discussed: pelvic floor health, postpartum recovery, return to running, women's health, pregnancy exercise, perimenopause, menopause, prolapse, leakage, research in women's healthTime Stamps1:00 Introduction2:57 quick fire questions7:20 why I started the podcast11:31 how the show has evolved15:39 shifts in clinical practice19:44 new things we've learned22:17 difficult episodes to record27:14 looking back at the start30:55 most overused phrases in women's health36:27 changing your mind over timeCONNECT WITH CARRIEIf you're looking for deeper support — whether you're postpartum, navigating perimenopause, or trying to run and lift without symptoms — reach out. IG: https://www.instagram.com/carriepagliano/Website: https://carriepagliano.comThe Active Mom Podcast is A Real Moms' Guide to pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause & beyond for active moms & the professionals who help them in their journey.

Two of the moms sit down for a conversation that doesn't try to wrap motherhood into neat little boxes. Bonus moms. Bio moms. Different roles, different emotions and a whole lot of perspective that rarely gets said out loud.What starts as a simple discussion slowly unfolds into something deeper: boundaries that aren't always clear, love that looks different depending on where you stand, and the quiet truths that live underneath blended family dynamics. There's no scorekeeping here. No sides to pick. Just honesty, reflection, and the kind of real talk that happens when the mics stay on long enough for the walls to come down.Some moments feel raw. Some feel unexpectedly comforting. And of course, it wouldn't be MATM without a few laughs breaking through when things get heavy.If you've ever lived in the gray areas of modern motherhood or wondered what those conversations sound like behind closed doors; this episode invites you to listen a little closer.Press play… and step into the perspective.Link to the YouTube playlist:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwnGrdjqohPJZUnCUlQDZj4Gr0nqWdX_B&si=-KQiwU6re3NLvUWhSend a textThe Classic MATM intro the sound that tells you, we're coming back from or going to break/ad ok byyyyeee Support the show

From the pressure to “get it right” to the constant second-guessing, so many of us carry quiet questions in motherhood: Am I doing enough? Am I messing this up? Am I a good mom? In this episode of Carpool Conversations, Sara and Marissa sit down with author and podcast host Hallie Dye to talk honestly about the weight moms carry—and the freedom found in surrendering that weight to the One who never fails. Hallie shares the heart behind her first book, You're Still a Good Mom: Motherhood Surrendered to the One Who Never Fails, and unpacks what it really means to be “a good mom” from a biblical perspective. Together, they discuss why our limitations are by design, how surrender reshapes the way we approach our roles, and how to navigate the tension between responsibility and trust in God. Whether you're in the thick of diapers and sleepless nights or navigating new challenges with older kids, this conversation is a gentle reminder: your worth was never meant to be measured by your performance. You are still a good mom. -- Meet our guest: Hallie Dye Book: You're Still a Good Mom: Motherhood Surrendered to the One Who Never Fails  Podcast: The Saltworks -- Question of the Week: What is something you enjoy and want me to keep doing as your mom/dad? -- Hosts: Sara Jones & Marissa Ray Guest: Hallie Dye Producers: Emily Alters & Cody Braun -- Learn more about WinShape Camps at WinShapeCamps.org!

One of the Moms and Their Music hosts sits down with Tianna for a real, unfiltered mom-to-mom conversation rooted in the music that shaped us and the lives we're building now. What starts as a discussion about playlists and nostalgia quickly turns into something deeper; motherhood, growth, and the moments that connect us long after the songs fade out.This episode brings back the original MATM energy: honest stories, unexpected laughter, and the kind of conversation that feels more like sitting in a living room than recording a podcast. There's a light nod to an emo-girl era that may or may not still exist somewhere in our playlists, but at its heart, this is a story about real moms, real experiences, and the music that carries us through every season.Link to YouTube Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwnGrdjqohPJIJeF7513msLqvY_sBRVNQ&si=Ladnkh-5VwOO81vvSend a textThe Classic MATM intro the sound that tells you, we're coming back from or going to break/ad ok byyyyeee Support the show

Send a textYou know the drill. Monday you're all in the workouts are scheduled, the meals are prepped, the alarm is set for 5 AM. By Thursday you've missed two sessions, eaten cereal for dinner, and you're already mentally drafting your "starting over Monday" speech.Sound familiar? You're not failing. You're stuck in a cycle that was never designed for your actual life.In this episode, we're breaking down why "good enough" fitness isn't a consolation prize it's actually the most strategic, sustainable, and sane approach to health for busy moms who are already doing a million other things at a very high level.If you're a high-achieving woman over 35 who has tried every program, followed every plan, and still feels like you're behind  this one's for you.In this episode we cover:Why the all-or-nothing fitness mindset is keeping you stuck, and why it hits harder for high-achieversWhat "good enough" fitness actually looks like in practice (hint: it's more than you think)How to stop letting a missed workout derail your entire weekWhy consistency always beats perfection when it comes to long-term resultsHow to build a sustainable fitness routine that works around your real life  not the life you wish you had (or you used to have before kiddos)What your kids are actually learning by watching your relationship with exercise and foodThe mindset shift that changes everything: measuring yourself against your own life, not someone else's highlight reelWho this episode is for: This episode is for the busy working mom who is killing it in every other area of her life and somehow still feels like she's failing at fitness. If you've ever thought "I just need to be more disciplined”,  I want to offer you a completely different frame.Key Takeaways:Good enough fitness is not mediocre fitness. It is sustainable fitness. And sustainable is the only kind that actually works.A 20-minute workout you actually do beats the 60-minute workout you keep skipping.The all-or-nothing cycle : perfect week, blowout week, shame spiral, start over Monday  is broken by flexibility, not more willpower.Your fitness routine should fit your life. Not the other way around.Consistency over time is what produces results. Not intensity. Not perfection.Ready to stop starting over? You've got two ways to take the next step.

A real day in the life of a stay-at-home mom in this season of motherhood.What does a real day actually look like in this season of motherhood?In this solo episode, Jacqueline walks you through a true day in the life — from the moment she wakes up to when the house finally goes quiet at night. Not the highlight reel. Not the optimized routine. Just the honest rhythm of life right now as a stay-at-home mom of three, balancing motherhood, mental load, and creative work.Jacqueline shares what mornings look like getting two kids out the door for school, how her days shift depending on whether her toddler is home with her or at her school program, and how her work as a podcaster happens in small pockets of quiet time. She talks about the invisible labor of motherhood, the constant emotional regulation, and the tension between being present with your kids while still wanting space for your own purpose.This episode is for any mom who feels like her days are full but invisible, meaningful but hard to quantify — and who needs the reminder that showing up counts, even when there's no checklist to prove it.In this episode, we talk about:A real day in the life of a stay-at-home momManaging the mental load of motherhoodParenting multiple kids in different stagesWorking and creating during naps and school hoursAfter-school chaos, activities, and evening routinesWhy some seasons of motherhood are about maintenance, not growthLetting go of productivity pressure in motherhood✨ Reflection prompt: What does your day actually require of you — emotionally, mentally, and physically?

In Episode 2, we get into talks about kid shows, movies, and games. The ones we grew up on, the ones our kids are obsessed with now, and the weird emotional whiplash that happens when those two worlds collide. Somewhere between Bluey episodes, theme song earworms, and background noise we didn't consent to, something else sneaks in: nostalgia, grief, joy, exhaustion, and a whole lot of “wait… why does this hit?”This episode is funny. It's nostalgic. It's honest in that “I didn't know I needed to say this out loud” kind of way.It's also one of those conversations that starts light… and then quietly reminds you that being a mom doesn't erase who you were; It just layers more meaning on top of it.So whether you're listening while folding laundry, sitting in the car for five minutes of silence, or reliving your childhood through your kid's favorite show; we're right there with you.

In this episode of the Always Andy's Mom Podcast, I'm joined by Taylor, a grieving father who shares the story of his son, Ray, who was stillborn late in pregnancy. Taylor talks about the moment fatherhood became real for him — feeling Ray kick for the first time — and the joy and anticipation that followed a healthy 20-week scan. Then, at 27 weeks, everything changed. Ray's heartbeat was gone. Taylor and his wife went through labor and delivery knowing there would be no living baby at the end, followed by precious time holding their son and saying goodbye. Taylor speaks openly about the emotions that came next: the anger that surprised him, the fear that the world no longer felt safe, and the weight of realizing that some things cannot be fixed. As a father, he felt the pressure to stay strong, even while grieving deeply himself. One of the most moving parts of this conversation is how Taylor found healing through an unexpected outlet. At the suggestion of his wife, he taught himself how to crochet using yarn that had been purchased for Ray. What started as a simple way to stay busy became a form of connection and comfort. With each stitch, Taylor found a way to honor his son, quiet his thoughts, and give his grief somewhere to go. Today, Taylor continues to crochet — creating hats, keepsakes, and donations — each piece carrying love, remembrance, and Ray's presence forward. This episode is a powerful reminder that grief doesn't disappear, but it can transform. Healing sometimes comes not through words, but through the work of our hands.

In this episode of the Always Andy's Mom Podcast, host Marie Crews speaks with Lisa Oris, founder of Grief Guide, about why grief is not linear and why loss cannot be reduced to stages, stories, or a tidy "journey." Lisa shares a powerful metaphor for grief — how loss "blows up the dresser," leaving emotions scattered and overlapping rather than neatly contained. Together, they explore the harm caused by cultural expectations to be strong, move on, or turn grief into a success story. This episode is for bereaved parents and grieving mothers who feel overwhelmed, unfinished, or exhausted by the pressure to heal correctly. It offers permission to grieve honestly, without apology or timelines.

Chores. Just hearing the word can bring up a mix of reactions—from sighs to eye rolls to “we should really work on that in our house.” In today's episode, we're diving into a topic that seems simple on the surface but can be surprisingly challenging to put into practice. We're talking about why chores matter and how everyday responsibilities help prepare our kids for life beyond our homes—while also building important life skills through responsibility and natural consequences.We're joined by Kim Smelley—mom of three, camp mom, and master of what she calls “somewhat organized chaos.” Kim shares how chores have evolved in her family, what's worked (and what hasn't), and practical ways to encourage kids when motivation is low. Whether chores are a strength in your home or a struggle, this conversation will help you see them as an opportunity for growth, teamwork, and meaningful connection with your kids.--Question of the Week: What is your favorite chore to do around the house?

The Hierophant card in the tarot represents tradition, spiritual institutions, wisdom, and the passing down of knowledge. So much of the holidays are shaped by established traditions, and yet so much of our stress comes from the conflicts that occur when we try reshaping these patterns. But the duality of the Hierophant teaches us not only what we can learn and take from the past, but how to forge our own path for the future. Plus, we read a Q&A about navigating conflicting family holiday traditions. Resources:https://biddytarot.com/tarot-card-meanings/major-arcana/hierophant/https://www.twowander.com/blog/the-hierophant-tarot-card-meaninghttps://www.ocolly.com/lifestyle/ask-anna-how-to-navigate-conflicting-holiday-traditions-and-expectations-between-families/article_12e36f84-8f28-11ee-88b4-7b237a5f37cb.html  We love talking woo with you!Follow along with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mdmthepod/Join our Facebook group, Multidimensional Moms.For ad inquiries or guest/topic ideas, email us at mdmthepod@gmail.comSee you next time!

In this episode of the Tiger Mom Podcast, the unstoppable Steph Tolev joins Jiaoying for a wild, unfiltered, and legitimately hilarious conversation. Steph talks about growing up loud, why she'll never apologize for having big opinions, and the strange confidence boosts that come from bombing on stage. Jiaoying tries to teach her some refined Chinese Queen energy, but Steph mostly turns it into creative swearing. It's chaotic in the best way — sharp, silly, and full of the kind of honesty that makes you feel like you're eavesdropping on two old friends causing trouble.#jiaoyingsummers #comedy #StephTolevAbout Jiaoying Summers:Jiaoying Summers is a Chinese-American stand-up comedian, actress, and social media influencer known for her bold humor, sharp wit, and unique perspectives on life, culture, and identity.
