Podcasts about moms

Black mothers in America often navigate a path layered with anxiety, fear, and concerns for their own wellness in a system that has too often failed them. This book captures that complex reality—where the intersection of race, gender, and motherhood brings both obstacles and profound moments of joy. Yet, amid every challenge, these mothers find strength, beauty, and grace as they push through to the other side. With images from past and present and heartfelt stories, Moms In Focus reveals the diversity of Black motherhood, shattering stereotypes and showing that it is anything but a monolith. Each mother's journey is a story of transformation, whether through navigating infertility, enduring grief, altering generational curses, adjusting to change or embracing mental health support. Just as a lotus blooms from the mud, these mothers rise, reminding us that even during trying times, there is an extraordinary beauty in Pushing Thru.

Hi mama, Get my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨today! In today's episode, we're talking about what's really happening in your brain and body when stress is high… and how to find clarity without forcing yourself to “get it together.” ✨ In this episode, we cover: Why stress and anxiety make everything feel equally important The difference between urgent and important (and why stress blurs the line) Why calm has to come before clarity Simple grounding questions to help you identify what truly matters today How to separate real problems from mental noise Using non-negotiables to anchor your decisions when life feels heavy A powerful “zoom-out” test to regain perspective Why what truly matters is often quiet… not loud or urgent

It's our February catch-up episode, which means we're covering a little bit of everything — real life updates, mom chaos, and the random obsessions that are getting us through winter.Whitney kicks things off with a recap of the wild Nashville ice storm that left them without power for days. Freezing temps, no electricity, kids stuck inside, and parents doing the absolute most to keep everyone fed, warm, and entertained. The cabin fever was real, routines were gone, and survival mode was fully activated.Candace recaps Gasparilla season — the chaos, the fun, the exhaustion, and the classic post-event realization that “this was amazing” and “I need three business days to recover” can both be true.Then we get into our latest fixation: Heated Rivalry. We're recapping it, talking about why we're so obsessed, and yes… the obsession spiraled far enough that Candace signed Alice up for hockey. (Influenced by TV? Maybe. Regrets? TBD.)Candace also shares what's been weighing on her with applying to private schools — the process, the pressure, and the deeper layer underneath it all: re-evaluating why they want to go that route in the first place, and what actually feels aligned for their family versus what just sounds like the “right” move.If you're feeling maxed out, stuck in winter chaos, and using a TV obsession as a personality trait right now… welcome. You're in good company.Keep up with the Moms and join the conversation on our socials:

Rebecca Geshuri, therapist and co-author of the new book When Good Moms Feel Bad joins me to talk about why so many "good moms" still feel overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck in cycles of guilt, anger, and self-criticism.   Together we explore:   - Drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS) Rebecca breaks down what "parts work" is and how understanding your inner parts can reduce reactivity and shame. - How polarization between "what my child needs" and "what I need" fuels burnout and emotional overwhelm. - Why parenting feels hardest when younger, protective parts take over. - What the "inner mom" is and how learning to access this part of yourself builds calm, confidence, and connection. - A simple framework to slow down in triggering moments and respond with more compassion. - How self-compassion and nervous system awareness support secure attachment — for both you and your child.   If you've been feeling overwhelmed and burnt out in parenthood, this episode offers validation, language for what you're experiencing, and practical tools to help you feel more grounded, regulated, and connected.       LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

If you've ever been told to “just stay calm” when your kids push every single button—and then felt a wave of mom guilt when you couldn't—you are not alone. So many overwhelmed moms think their big emotional reactions mean they're failing at parenting. That they're “too much,” “not patient enough,” or somehow broken. But here's the truth I want you to hear right away: Your reactions are not the problem. They're information. In this episode, we're unpacking why staying calm in the moment often isn't possible—and why that makes perfect sense. When you're overloaded, exhausted, and carrying the emotional labor of your family, your nervous system is already at capacity. Of course small things feel big. This conversation is about emotional intelligence, self-regulation, and emotional awareness—not as another thing to “do better,” but as a way to understand what's actually happening underneath your reactions so you can respond with more compassion (for yourself first). In this episode, you'll learn: Why losing your temper isn't a moral failure Anger and frustration are signals that something you value has been crossed—not proof that you're a bad mom. The five parts of emotional intelligence and how they work together We break down self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills—and why emotional regulation doesn't exist in a vacuum. How stress and overload shrink your capacity When you're running on fumes, your reactions aren't about “that one moment”—they're about everything that came before it. What emotional awareness looks like in real life From noticing where emotions live in your body to naming them without judgment, this is about practical, usable parenting advice. How self-compassion reduces mom burnout and emotional reactivity Self-criticism fuels emotional overload. Compassion helps interrupt the shame spiral so you can repair and reconnect.

Are you a mom who feels exhausted, overwhelmed, and mentally drained… even when your baby is sleeping? You are not lazy. You are not broken. And this is not “just motherhood.” In this episode of Nutrition for Mamas, postpartum dietitian and lactation counselor Brooke Miller interviews board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Stefanie Reinald to unpack what burnout in motherhood really looks like, how it differs from postpartum depression and anxiety, and why so many moms feel depleted years after having a baby. We cover: • Signs of mom burnout vs postpartum depression • Why nutrient depletion after pregnancy makes exhaustion worse • Hormone shifts after birth that impact mood, focus, and energy • Iron deficiency, vitamin D, and under-eating postpartum • Why ADHD is often diagnosed after motherhood • The mental load of modern moms • Working moms vs stay at home moms and burnout risk • Why “pushing harder” makes things worse • Simple ways to feel like yourself again without optimizing your life to death Dr. Reinald shares clinical insight from working with thousands of women plus her own experience as a mom of four navigating postpartum mental health, career pressure, and identity loss. If you've ever thought: “I shouldn't feel this tired.” “I used to handle more than this.” “I love my kids but I feel empty.” This episode will change how you see your body, brain, and season of life.

Motherhood overwhelm is something nearly every mom experiences — even in a world filled with modern conveniences. In today's heartfelt and practical conversation I chat with Jamie Erickson, homeschool mom of five, author of The Overwhelmed Mom, and host of the Mom2Mom Podcast, to explore why overwhelm feels so pervasive for twenty-first-century mothers and how we can find peace without trying to fix everything at once.Jamie shares her personal journey into homeschooling, how her background as a classroom teacher shaped her convictions, and why God's calling for one family isn't a mandate for all. Together, Amy and Jamie unpack the difference between everyday tiredness and deeper overwhelm, identifying three distinct types of overwhelm that require different responses.You'll hear Jamie explain how comparison, overcommitment, and taking on responsibilities that belong to others often fuel exhaustion. She offers a freeing perspective on “living in your season,” encouraging moms to see God's boundaries not as limitations, but as protection — especially when seasons feel long or unending.One of the most powerful moments in the episode comes when Jamie shares a deeply personal story of crisis while writing her book, when her son became critically ill. Through that experience, she witnessed how faithful routines and a strong Christian community became tangible expressions of God's care during acute overwhelm.This conversation is filled with practical wisdom, including:How small, incremental changes can dramatically reduce stressWhy narrating a better story about your life mattersHow five-to-ten-minute pockets of time can be redeemedWhy community is essential during overwhelming seasonsHow the Gospel meets us in burnout and sufferingIf you are a mom who feels stretched thin, burdened, or stuck in survival mode — whether you homeschool or not — this episode will encourage you to slow down, release unnecessary guilt, and trust God with what you were never meant to carry alone.

You finally slow down… but your body doesn't.In this episode of the Free to Be Mindful Podcast, Vanessa De Jesus Guzman explores what happens when chronic stress becomes so familiar that it no longer feels like stress at all. For high-achieving moms, leaders, and caregivers, operating in survival mode can quietly become the baseline... making rest feel uncomfortable, quiet feel unsettling, and calm feel out of reach.Through personal reflection and real-life examples, this conversation helps name what many are experiencing but haven't fully articulated: the difference between looking calm on the outside and feeling regulated on the inside. This episode offers language, awareness, and gentle reframes for listeners who are carrying a lot, especially in times that feel heavy beneath the surface.TUNE IN TO LEARNHow to recognize stress when you're used to functioning through itWhy slowing down can trigger guilt or restlessness instead of reliefA simple reflective practice to name what you're feeling and whyHow nervous system awareness supports better leadership and parentingUPCOMING SUPPORT & RESET OPPORTUNITIESIf this episode resonated and you're craving intentional space to pause and recalibrate, here are two upcoming opportunities to continue the work:Virtual Leadership Coaching Container – February 5, 2026 (1 PM EST)A facilitated space for leaders, founders, and professionals who are holding significant responsibility while navigating internal stress and external demands.

Laundry piles aren't just about laundry. For many working moms, especially those who are neurodivergent or have ADHD, unfinished to-dos carry emotional weight, guilt, and harsh self-talk that quietly drain your energy. In this episode, we explore why undone tasks feel so heavy and how everyday clutter often becomes a symbol for overwhelm, burnout, and unrealistic expectations.This conversation isn't about fixing your house or getting everything done. It's about understanding the emotional charge behind unfinished to-dos and learning how to release the judgment that makes even small tasks feel exhausting. What you'll learn:Why laundry piles and undone to-dos often trigger shame and self-criticismHow ADHD and neurodivergent brains experience clutter differentlyWhy unfinished tasks can feel emotionally overwhelming, not just inconvenientHow guilt and unrealistic standards make it harder to get things doneA more compassionate way to think about to-dos without tying them to your worthIf you feel weighed down by clutter, undone tasks, or the constant feeling that you're behind, this episode offers relief, perspective, and permission to be gentler with yourself. Because laundry is just laundry and you are not defined by what's left on your to-do list.Free Resources:

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we focus on a pivotal hearing addressing veterans' job opportunities in the emerging technology sector, particularly in artificial intelligence. Congressman Abe Hamadeh from Arizona, a veteran himself, joins us to discuss his groundbreaking legislation, the Improving Emerging Tech Opportunities for Veterans Act. This initiative aims to connect highly skilled veterans with high-tech jobs, especially as Arizona positions itself as a hub for semiconductor manufacturing and AI innovation.Congressman Hamadeh emphasizes the importance of leveraging the unique skills and discipline of veterans to fill workforce gaps in the tech industry, particularly as foreign investments flood into the U.S. He highlights partnerships with companies like TSMC that are committed to veteran outreach and hiring. This legislation represents a significant step toward ensuring that American veterans are not only honored but also gainfully employed in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.We also delve into the recent developments surrounding President Trump's negotiations regarding Greenland and NATO. The Congressman shares insights on the strategic importance of Greenland for U.S. military operations and how these discussions could bolster national security while countering adversarial influences in the Arctic. With a focus on protecting Western civilization, Hamade reflects on the potential benefits of these agreements for both the U.S. and its allies.Next, we dive deep into President Trump's recent signing of the Charter for the Board of Peace at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Joining us is Claire Lopez, a former CIA operations officer and national security expert, who provides valuable insights on the implications of this new charter for global order and U.S. strategy in the Arctic. Lopez discusses the enhanced U.S. control over strategic sites in Greenland and the significance of these developments in countering the assertive actions of China and Russia in the region.We also explore the broader geopolitical landscape, including the situation in Venezuela. Lopez highlights how the country has become a focal point for adversaries such as Iran and China, and how Trump's foreign policy aims to assert U.S. primacy in the Western Hemisphere. She addresses the ongoing challenges posed by the Maduro regime and the presence of foreign influence in Venezuela, emphasizing the need for a robust U.S. response.Finally, Tina Desovich, co-founder of Moms for Liberty, shares the importance of instilling true American history in our children. Tina emphasizes the importance of parents educating their children about the nation's founding principles and the real stories behind key historical figures. She warns about the potential pitfalls of historical interpretation in museums and educational settings, urging parents to engage directly with original documents to ensure their children grasp the true essence of American history.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hey sister, today's episode is a vulnerable one. I'm sharing my most recent birth experience, one of the hardest seasons I've walked through, even as a doula. This pregnancy and birth challenged everything I thought I knew and reminded me how unpredictable labor can be.   Episode Highlights: Why every pregnancy and every birth is completely unique How a hard pregnancy can change what kind of birth support you need What a three-day labor taught me about surrender and expectations Why experience and knowledge don't replace the need for support The real role of a doula (and why she doesn't replace your husband) How God used this birth to teach me wisdom, rest, and self-care Encouragement for preparing for birth without fear   Resources & Links: Looking for a doula?

Motherhood is holy work—and it's also hard.In this episode, we want to speak directly to moms. The ones who are tired, overwhelmed, and carrying the weight of wanting to do it all “right.” There is so much pressure in motherhood…pressure to meet expectations, keep up, and never fall short.Today, we want to offer encouragement, truth, and grace. We share five gentle reminders meant to bring peace into the everyday moments of motherhood…from praying over your child, to letting go of comparison, to remembering that some things can wait. We also talk about the difference between striving to be a “good” mom and focusing on being a godly mom…one who leans on God in everything.If you've ever wondered if you're doing enough, this episode is for you. You are not alone. And you are doing better than you think.Song: Song: Lofi Chill Hip Hop Beat - SpringVibes (youngfrenchy808)We would like to pray for you.

I don't feel close to my kid anymore. If you've ever had that thought while parenting teens or navigating the empty nest, this episode is for you. I'm talking honestly about what it feels like when the relationship with your big kid changes—when they share less, pull away, or seem like they don't need you in the same way they used to. This isn't a sign you're failing. It's a painful and very human part of letting go. In this episode, I explore why this kind of distance hurts so deeply, how disappointment turns into fear, and why we often try to fix the relationship by asking our kids to show up differently. What I've learned—through my own experience and my work with moms—is that demanding connection isn't what restores it. Learning how to sit with our own discomfort, trust the bond we've built, and love without pressure is what changes everything. This episode is an invitation to rethink what letting go really means in the parenting teens and empty nest years—and how staying steady inside yourself is often the most powerful way to stay connected.

This week's Mom Group Chat is a little chaotic… which feels fitting, because so is parenting toddlers right now.Candace and Whitney get real about this season of motherhood where the toddlers are testing everything, patience is thin, tempers are short, and it feels like you're one spilled snack away from losing it. Candace shares a real-time realization she's having about how she wants to show up differently, even when it's hard, loud, and overstimulating.In true Mom Group Chat fashion, the conversation takes a HARD detour into Bravo land (because sometimes Housewives drama feels easier than our own). But we bring it back to what's actually underneath it all: we love our kids, we want to be better, and we're trying to lean more into positive reinforcement instead of constant correction and snapping.If you've felt like parenting your toddler lately is really freaking hard, and you're not always proud of how you're handling it, this episode is your reminder that you are not alone. We're in it with you.We talk about: Why this stage with toddlers can feel so overstimulating and relentless That moment you realize you don't actually like how you're reacting The guilt spiral after losing your cool A very necessary Bravo tangent Shifting from constant “no” to more positive reinforcement Wanting to be better moms without expecting ourselves to be perfectKeep up with the Moms and join the conversation on our socials:

In this powerful and heartbreaking episode of Chicks on the Right, we sit down with Jamie Williams, a Washington State foster mom and former labor & delivery nurse, who is sounding the alarm on a child welfare system in crisis.Jamie shares firsthand accounts from inside Washington's foster care system, exposing how the “Keeping Families Together Act” has made it nearly impossible to remove children from dangerous homes—even when drugs, neglect, and extreme risk are present. Since the law's passage, child fatalities and near-fatalities have surged, while state officials deflect, downplay, and silence concerned foster parents. This is a must-watch conversation for anyone who cares about children, parental rights, foster care reform, and government accountability.Subscribe and stay tuned for new episodes every weekday!Follow us here for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:YoutubeFacebookInstagramTikTokXLocalsMore InfoWebsite
