Podcasts about moms

Ok, who's doing what to their face? when and why? This week the ladies discuss what we do and don't do to feel good in our skin. Moms, how far do you go to tweak your appearance? Salmon sperm, Botox, snail slime, or throw a paper bag over your head and say fugit? Turns out not everyone on the mic has the same opinion on this one!

Can you name the top four struggles today’s moms feel? Overwhelmed. Uncared for Mom-guilt Wonder, what’s my purpose? Am I significant? If you, or a mom you know, can relate to any of these struggles, you’ll love this week’s conversation. In this powerful episode, Bible teacher and MomQ founder Candace Nassar shares how God redeemed her dysfunctional childhood, broke the generational chains, and how a life-changing Bible study ignited a personal relationship with Jesus—forever altering the course of her story. You’ll learn how God can–and likely is–in the process of healing and redeeming you and your story, too. Leaving a corporate career behind, Candice followed God’s nudge to create MomQ, a faith-based community that helps moms grow spiritually, find purpose, and overcome the pressure of perfection. We talk about the gift of community, how Jesus reaches out to us even when we feel unlovable, and how God’s truth brings freedom from guilt. This is your reminder that motherhood wasn’t meant to be walked alone—and grace is more than enough. And remember, I'd love to connect more on Instagram, where you'll find me at @donnaajones.

Steve Gruber talks with Kimberly Fletcher, President of Moms for America, about how the Department of Justice targeted parents and weaponized the government against everyday Americans, moms, dads, grandparents, and concerned citizens who dared to speak up. Fletcher calls for justice and accountability, reminding listeners that the movement to protect children and parental rights isn't going away with a new administration. With passion and clarity, she breaks down how it all happened and why this fight is far from over.

Have you ever found yourself praying over your kids with desperation but not seeing any real change? I've been there—crying out to God like, “Lord, please help,” but feeling like nothing was shifting. In this episode of the Revival Mom podcast, I'm sharing what changed everything for me: praying Scripture over my children with boldness, authority, and the help of the Holy Spirit. I walk you through how I began speaking God's word out loud over my boys and how that one simple act of obedience led to breakthrough—not just in their behavior but in my confidence as a mom. I'll show you how to ask the Holy Spirit what to pray, how to find Bible verses that match what your child is going through, and how to declare truth even when your circumstances haven't changed yet. You'll hear powerful stories from my own journey and a beautiful testimony from my friend Jen about how her son's speech delay started to shift when she began praying the Word over him daily. I'll also share how God reminded me that His word does not return void—and what happens when we stop praying from emotion and start praying from truth. If you're a Christian mom who wants to grow in confidence, operate in spiritual authority, and see real change in your children's lives, this episode will stir your faith. Whether you're dealing with tantrums, sibling fights, or deeper struggles with identity, you'll walk away knowing exactly how to invite the Holy Spirit into your parenting. And if you're not sure where to start, I created a free resource just for you. Grab my Ignite Revival Prayers & Declarations guide at revivalmomprays.com. You'll find simple, powerful verses to declare over your kids and your home—starting today. Be sure to follow the show, leave a review if this blessed you, and share it with a mama friend who needs a reminder that revival really does start in the home. You've got this, and you're not alone.

Have you ever been told to “wait and see” or that you were just overthinking something about your child? In this deeply personal episode, I share why those gut feelings we have as moms are often spot-on—and why trusting them can make all the difference. I open up about my own experiences with being dismissed, even by professionals close to me, and how I finally learned to lead with intuition, not hesitation. We explore why our instincts matter more than we think, especially when it comes to breathing, sleep, nutrition, and behavior in our kids. You'll learn how small signs—often overlooked—can be early indicators of deeper issues, and how you, as a parent, have the power to create change before crisis strikes.

In this episode of Alphas Make Sandwiches, Ashe in America, Christie Lupo, and Jackie Espada bring Florida mom energy with a fast-paced, no-filter conversation that bounces from diet hacks to spiritual warfare. The ladies catch up on their recent adventures, with Christie sharing stories from her trip to South Dakota and Jackie fresh off an Alpha Warrior workout in sweltering Florida heat. From struggles with soy and seed oils to the temptation of red velvet cookies, the trio dishes out raw takes on food, faith, and the everyday grind of modern womanhood. They dive deep into cultural deception and conditioning, with Ashe warning about the spiritual matrix and Jackie offering insight on generational healing through repentance and obedience. The episode is as irreverent as it is enlightening, filled with laughter, occasional TMI moments, and a deep hunger, for truth, clarity, and maybe just a sandwich.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Sernova is partnering with Eledon Pharmaceuticals to test a new immunosuppressive drug in its ongoing clinical trial for people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The drug called tegoprubart is designed to protect transplanted islet cells without harsh side effects. The current treatment is known for its potential toxicity, especially towards insulin-producing beta cells, and its adverse side effects, making it less than ideal for islet cell therapy in T1D. Tegoprubart has already shown promise in earlier trials, helping T1D patients achieve insulin independence with better graft survival and fewer side effects. This next phase of Sernova's trial (Cohort C) will combine Eledon's drug with Sernova's Cell Pouch, an implantable device that houses insulin-producing cells. In earlier phases, six participants stopped needing insulin completely, with results lasting years. Sernova also plans to use stem cell-derived islet-like clusters from partner Evotec to create a next-gen therapy. If all goes well, a new clinical program could launch in 2026.   https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2025/07/15/biotech-partnership-to-revolutionize-diabetes-treatment.html XX Researchers at Yale School of Medicine, funded by Breakthrough T1D, are evaluating GTT@home, a new finger-prick, at-home glucose tolerance test, to monitor early-stage type 1 diabetes (T1D) in individuals with T1D autoantibodies. Developed by Digostics (Dih-jos-tiks), the test offers a simpler, less invasive alternative to clinic-based oral glucose tolerance tests. The study aims to assess its accuracy, usability, and acceptance, potentially paving the way for wider use in early T1D detection and monitoring. The results of the trial will inform future regulatory submissions for GTT@home use in T1D, which already has regulatory approval in the UK, Europe and other regions for other types of diabetes. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/digostics-announces-university-trial-home-164300142.html XX LifeScan announced that it entered into a restructuring support agreement and, to implement it, filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy. As the process moves forward, LifeScan plans to operate in the ordinary course of business. It expects to emerge from chapter 11 by the end of the year. LifeScan develops the OneTouch Bluetooth-connected blood glucose meter and mobile diabetes app that provide simplicity, accuracy and trust in diabetes management. XX New study looks at quality of life and cost of AID systems. This was done in Finland which has the highest prevalence of T1D in the world. The results show automated insulin delivery pumps significantly improved quality of life and reduced diabetes-related complications. The quality-adjusted life expectancy increased by an average of 2.3 years for individuals using an automated insulin delivery pump. Although the overall costs of automated insulin delivery pump treatment were higher than those of conventional insulin pump treatment, its cost-effectiveness ratio was well below the generally accepted willingness-to-pay threshold of 50,000 euros in Finland. This is the first cost-effectiveness study of automated insulin delivery pumps conducted in Finland. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-07-automated-insulin-delivery-effective-treatment.html XX Blue Circle Health expands into the 11th state: Louisiana! This is Free, comprehensive virtual clinical care, education, and support program for adults with type 1 diabetes In addition to serving adults with type 1 diabetes in Louisiana, our program is also active in Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Missouri, Iowa, Ohio, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and Delaware.  The program serves as an extension of participants' existing care teams and ensures continuity of care The organization hopes to inform new care models and policies that remove barriers to healthcare People with T1D over 18 years of age who speak English or Spanish are eligible to enroll. To sign up directly, refer a person living with T1D, or learn how you can partner with Blue Circle Health, visit www.bluecirclehealth.org. XX A new study comparing three popular diets—intermittent fasting, time-restricted eating, and continuous calorie cutting—found that all can help people with type 2 diabetes lose weight and lower blood sugar. But one diet stood out: the 5:2 intermittent fasting plan, where participants eat normally five days a week and restrict calories on two. It led to better results in fasting blood sugar, insulin response, and sticking with the plan. Although researchers identified improved HbA1c levels, and adverse events were similar across the three groups, the IER group showed greater advantages in reducing fasting blood glucose, improving insulin sensitivity, lowering triglycerides, and strengthening adherence to the dietary interventions. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/07/250715043351.htm XX MIT students have developed an implantable device.. for use during emergency low blood sugars.   The new implant carries a reservoir of glucagon that can be stored under the skin and deployed during an emergency — with no injections needed.   The researchers showed that this device could also be used to deliver emergency doses of epinephrine, a drug that is used to treat heart attacks and can also prevent severe allergic reactions, including anaphylactic shock. The device contains a powdered form of glucagon and can be remotely triggered—either manually or automatically by a glucose monitor—to release the hormone when blood sugar drops too low. No word on next steps to make this commercially available.   https://news.mit.edu/2025/implantable-device-could-save-diabetes-patients-low-blood-sugar-0709 XX We've covered T1D1 before, this is an insulin calculator app – there's more to it than that.. it was created by 13 year old Drew who lives with type 1, but removed from the apps stores a few years ago, along with other non fda cleared apps. Drew who is now 18, Tells us they just submitted to the FDA and are optimistic about being reinstated. https://www.instagram.com/t1d1app/ XX   XX 1'm Brodie Sargent, a Type 1 diabetic raised in Mudgee, NSW, and currently living in Wollongong.   Starting August 26th, I'll be running a marathon every day for 26 days, and on the 27th day, I'll be finishing with Western Sydney's Half Ironman.   The current world record for the most consecutive marathons run by a Type 1 diabetic male is 25 and I'm aiming to break it.   I'm doing this to inspire others, diabetic or not, to challenge themselves and not let anything hold them back.   Any donation is greatly appreciated and supports a cause I truly believe in. The Type One Foundation focuses on support, connection, awareness, and advocacy for diabetics across Australia. They run online and in-person events for diabetics and their families, and also offer care packages to those newly diagnosed.   I was diagnosed at 15, and it was a tough time for me and my family, we had no history or understanding of diabetes. I was already a shy and awkward kid, and I struggled to speak up about how much it affected me. I started running with my roommate just to kill time but it quickly took over my life. Feeling stuck and unsure where I was heading, I decided to make a change and try to help anyone out there feeling the same way.   You can follow my journey on Instagram: @typerun_   XX Launched during children's congress To further promote inclusivity and tackle the stigma associated with the condition, Mattel partnered with Breakthrough T1D, a global organization dedicated to type 1 diabetes research and advocacy, to launch its first Barbie with type 1 diabetes. This partnership marks a major milestone in Mattel's commitment to greater representation, and highlights Breakthrough T1D's pivotal role in ensuring visibility for the type 1 diabetes community.   The doll is part of the Barbie Fashionistas line and includes key diabetes management tools modeled accurately with the help of Breakthrough T1D. The type 1 diabetes Barbie wears a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) secured with Barbie-pink, heart-shaped tape, and has an insulin pump at her waist. She also comes with a CGM-tracking smartphone, a pastel blue purse, and a blue polka dot outfit – blue being the color that symbolizes global diabetes awareness.   As part of a broader initiative to elevate voices in the type 1 diabetes community, Barbie also partnered with two global role models living with type 1 diabetes: Peloton Instructor Robin Arzón and model Lila Moss.   Robin Arzon Barbie Image Credit: Breakthrough T1D and Mattel Mattel's one-of-a-kind doll based on Arzón features her signature yellow outfit and a crown-shaped CGM on the back of her arm.   In interviews, Moss has highlighted the positive impact that the type 1 diabetes Barbie's visibility has already had, saying she receives daily messages from young people who feel less insecure about wearing their diabetes devices thanks to her public advocacy.   When Linxi Mytkolli, director of patient engagement at Diabetes Action Canada and person with diabetes, heard about the new “Dia Barbie,” she said she teared up.   “I grew up loving dolls, but I never saw one that reflected the reality I now live with – until Dia Barbie. Seeing a doll with a CGM, insulin pump, and even heart-shaped medical tape felt surreal. It's playful, powerful, and personal all at once,” said Mytkolli.   Mytkolli also emphasized that representation and visibility in toys and media can help chip away at shame.   “I've heard from so many people, especially those diagnosed in childhood, who delayed using tech like pumps or CGM because it felt like a punishment. Visibility in toys helps normalize these devices and makes kids feel like they're not alone or ‘othered.' It turns stigma into something softer – something that can be talked about, shared, even celebrated,” Mytkolli said.   And its impact goes beyond people living with diabetes. Laura Pavlakovich, who is the founder and CEO of You're Just My Type and has lived with type 1 diabetes since age five, shared that this representation is equally crucial for those without diabetes, as it demystifies the condition and challenges stereotypes.   “This kind of representation builds a vital bridge of empathy, illustrating that living with diabetes is simply a part of life for millions. It's an essential tool for educating the public and cultivating a more inclusive and supportive society for everyone,” said Pavlakovich.   Pavlakovich shared her personal experience of growing up with diabetes and how this will provide validation for those with the condition who often feel unseen.   “I vividly remember growing up with a 'my twin' doll, custom-made to look just like me, yet she always lacked the crucial part of my daily reality: an insulin pump. To finally see a Barbie, an iconic figure in childhood play, accurately depict someone living with type 1 diabetes, complete with her devices and pump, is truly a monumental moment,” said Pavlakovich.   To celebrate the launch, Barbie donated dolls to the Breakthrough T1D 2025 Children's Congress in Washington, D.C., where 170 young advocates for type 1 diabetes from around the world met with lawmakers to raise awareness. Priced at $10.99, the doll is now available on Mattel Shop and at retailers nationwide.   While this is a huge win for enhancing the representation of children living with diabetes, it doesn't end there. There is still significant work to be done to improve access to diabetes medication and technology.   “It is not lost on me that Barbie has more access to diabetes tech than many, if not most, people with diabetes globally,” said Mytkolli. “Representation and access – we deserve both.”   By bringing a common but misunderstood condition into children's toy boxes, the new type 1 diabetes Barbie is more than a toy. It's a symbol of pride, visibility, and the message that children with diabetes can live full, empowered lives.   As Mytkolli said, “Whether a child is living with diabetes, or loves someone who is, this doll quietly says, ‘You're not broken. You belong.'”

In this latest episode of the Moms of the Lou podcast, Rebekah chats with stylist & seamstress, Merrick White. Merrick discusses her move from Dallas to St. Louis, noting the similarities that eased the transition. She highlights the support from friends and a new community that helped her and her family quickly settle in and feel welcomed.

After Merrick's first baby was born in 2010, she discovered a love of sewing and spent a year or two doing a lot of clothing refashions, starting with this one right here. It was at least a year before she finally got brave enough to cut into a piece of fabric and start something from scratch, but she stuck with it and got better with every project! There's nothing more thrilling for Merrick than designing and constructing a beautiful piece of clothing. Along the way, she became a style writer for Babble Style and SheKnows.com, and a contributor for Jo-Ann's sewing blog, and wrote for each of them for several years.

Send us a textThis week, I'm sharing something exciting: I co-authored a new book called The Courage to Raise! It's a collaborative project with eight other special needs moms, and I'm proud (and a little surprised) to be a published author again—especially since writing has never come easily to me.In this episode, I talk about how the opportunity came about (perfect timing while I was already traveling), what my chapter is about, and the special tool I included called Tolerating the Intolerable—a game plan for surviving those chaotic, over-the-top moments we know too well. I even share a few “plays” that didn't make the book but are too good not to mention (Skedaddle, anyone?).Whether or not you buy the book (but I hope you do!), this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at how I turned hard stories into something meaningful.Resources Mentioned:

Absolutely—here's a refined version in your voice: warm, grounded, emotionally honest, and empowering, with the right mix of personal connection and clear value: Have you ever thought, “My kid doesn't even like me”—and then felt a mix of heartbreak and shame, because you can't believe this is where you've ended up after everything you've poured into them? If so, you're not alone. I've been there too. And I've coached so many moms who've sat with this exact fear in silence, wondering what they did wrong and how to fix it. In this episode, I'm sharing a really personal story about a time when I felt totally disconnected from one of the people I love most—when every attempt to bridge the gap only seemed to push us further apart. And I'll walk you through what I've learned since then about why this happens and how we can begin to find our footing again. Here's what you'll take away from this conversation: How to recognize one of the tricky mindset traps you might be falling into with your teen—and why it never brings the connection you want A simple shift to stop needing their reassurance so you can show up from strength instead of fear What it looks like to love your child unconditionally… even when they're not making it easy If things feel strained or distant with your teen or adult child right now, this episode will help you breathe a little deeper—and start showing up in a way that feels more like you. ✨ Want to go deeper in this work with me?

This week on Mom Group Chat, we're talking about something no one prepares you for — the return of your period after having a baby. Why is it so intense? Why does it feel like a whole new era of womanhood? And why does no one talk about this? We're sharing our honest experiences with postpartum periods — from the surprising timing of their return, to how hormones, mood swings, and breastfeeding can all play a role.We also chat about what's normal, what caught us totally off guard, and some stories from past periods. If you've ever felt blindsided by the comeback of Aunt Flo or just want to feel less alone in the chaos of postpartum symptoms, this episode is for you. As always, it's real, unfiltered, and full of things we probably shouldn't say out loud… but do anyway.**Join the official Mom Group Chat Facebook group: **MOM GROUP CHAT FACEBOOK GROUPKeep up with the Moms and join the conversation on our socials:**

This conversation is full of gentle reminders and practical ideas for building rhythms of care into your everyday life... so you're not just making it through motherhood, you're actually enjoying it.   You'll hear from three incredible moms: Celeste, Tiffany, and Abby, who each found their own way to prioritize soul care. Not the spa-day kind, but the kind that fits into the cracks of real life. The kind that helps you feel more like yourself again. In this episode, you'll hear:

Are there any anxious mothers out there? Have you ever been shamed for being an anxious mother? Well, I definitely have been an anxious mom, just ask my daughter. Actually I have never met a mom especially a mom of a teen who hasn't had to deal with anxious thoughts. Moms are going to worry. the challenge is how to make anxiety useful and not be a constant source of agony. In this episode we talk about how to get curious about anxiety and learn from it. Joining us today is Yael Goldstein-Love. She is the author of the novels The Passion of Tasha Darsky, described as “showing signs of brooding genius” by The New York Times, and The Possibilities, forthcoming in July. She also practices psychotherapy, with a particular interest in the transition to parenthood, and is working toward her doctorate in clinical psychology. Her dissertation research focuses on how mothers experience their anxiety for the unknown futures of their children. She is a graduate of Harvard University and currently attends The Wright Institute. Her writing has appeared in The Boston Globe, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Wall Street Journal Speakeasy Blog, The Atlantic online, The Forward, Commentary, and other places. She lives with her six-year-old son and a very patient cat in Berkeley, CA. Here are a couple of quotes from Yael's article on maternal anxiety. "There is a mismatch between the primal maternal drive to protect our offspring and our knowledge that we're largely powerless to do so, and this gap between what we long to do as mothers taxed with seeing the next generation in, and what we can realistically do as human beings, is one of the more brutal gifts of evolution. No wonder anxiety is such a fundamental part of motherhood." "We don't often think about the sheer existential heft of caring for a child, and how anxiety is baked right into it. To honor this aspect of mothering would be to look head-on at realities we all find harrowing: that life is fragile, we never know what's coming next, we suffer, and in the end we die. Maternal worry gets at the heart of what is terrifying about being alive, and about loving." Learn more at: ⁠https://www.yaelgoldsteinlove.com/⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
