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. If you're ready to jump in, Fit & Fueled is the program built for exactly where you are — thestrongherway.com/fitandfueled. And if you want something more personalized, book a consult and let's build your plan together alishacarlson.com .

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.

This first episode is intentionally unstructured.Two of the hosts sit down with no outline, no script, and no pressure; just two moms talking, laughing, and bouncing off each other's energy the way it naturally happens. We kick things off with our Song of the Day, wrap up with a Random Kid Moment, and let the rest of the conversation unfold in between.This episode isn't about perfection or polish.

⬇️ What are the ways to increase longevity in your senior pet's life ⬇️The worst part about having a dog is how few years they have on this earth. But what if we can help lengthen their lifespan with new breakthroughs in medicine?Today I talk with Dr. Kevin Toman, a vet with 40 years of experience, claims that there are protocols that can extend a pet's live by 14%! I was super interested in learning more because Kramer, my Goldendoodle, is 16 years old and I'd love to help him live a long, pain-free life. I hope you find Dr. Kevin's stories as fascinating as I did. Warmest of regards, Jen GlaserHost of Dog Mom Podcast & Co-Founder of ZippyPaws—-----------------------------------------------—-----------------------------------------------

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.

⬇️ How a crush turned into continuing a 75 year family business ⬇️Even as my pet toy business expands nationwide and internationally, I still hold the family pet shops near and dear to my heart. These are hardworking American families just like mine, trying to provide a great place to work for their employees and to spread smiles to pets and pet owners. Anaheim Feed is no exception - they're a local pet shop in Southern California that's stayed in the family for almost 75 years. Today I invited Sarah Watts, their Purchasing & Merchandise Manager, to chat about the business. We don't play favorites here at ZippyPaws, but we would be lying if we said they weren't one of our favorite customers

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?

⬇️ She built her dream job on a lot in El Paso, Texas ⬇️I think a lot of us dog people have said sometime in their life that they just want to quit their jobs and open up a place where dogs can come play and owners can grab a beer.

Listen to today's episode to how she turned that idea into a reality.

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.
