Advocacy and Awareness: Transforming Mental Health Care with Rachel Streiff In this episode of 'Why Not Me', host Tony Mantor welcomes Rachel Strife, co-founder of Arizona Mad Moms, to discuss her extensive advocacy work for individuals with serious mental illness. She shares her personal journey, inspired by a family member's experience, and describes her efforts in rallying families, influencing legislation, and advocating for systemic change in mental health care. The conversation covers the challenges in the current system, the importance of correct diagnosis and treatment, and the necessity of educating the public and lawmakers to improve mental health support and ensure public safety.

Karen and Emily are kicking off the year with a three-part series about parenting principles we can learn from the book of Proverbs. Today, Karen addresses the confusion many moms today feel around discipline, authority, and the pressure to “get it right.” Drawing from Solomon's teaching, she reminds us that children need leadership, clear boundaries, and parents who are willing to direct them with confidence rather than fear. We hope this conversation encourages you to trust God for wisdom no matter what you are facing this week!Episode Recap:Wire Talk is celebrating 500 episodes next weekSubscribe to our YT podcast so you don't miss the giveawayGentle parenting does not workStop Googling and start getting into the Word of GodWe are bombarding ourselves with information overloadMoms are afraid of messing up and uncertain of what to doWhat are the 3 stages of discipline? How do I discipline without introducing shame? Children are so resilient, we do not give them enough creditTrust that God will give us wisdom exactly when we need itScripture: Proverbs 1:1-5 (ESV) – “The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel: for gaining wisdom and instruction; for understanding words of insight; for receiving instruction in prudent behavior, doing what is right and just and fair; for giving prudence to those who are simple, knowledge and discretion to the young—let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance…”Discussion Questions: What messages about parenting have influenced you the most in recent years—culture, social media, your upbringing, or Scripture?“More information is not always good information.” Where have you felt overwhelmed or anxious because of too much advice?Why do you think the word authority has become uncomfortable in parenting conversations?How does Proverbs reframe discipline as protection and love rather than punishment?What is one area of parenting where you need to ask God for wisdom instead of trying to figure it out on your own?Resources:Check out our BRAND NEW Bible study: How To Teach Your Kids the BibleListen to our series on the 3 stages of discipline: 154, 155, 156Grab Karen's devotional book: Moments with God for Moms

If January feels overwhelming and everyone else's “new year goals” are making you feel behind, this episode is for you. I share why this is the first year I've even thought about a vision board since becoming a mom, and why not setting goals for a season of life is not a failure… it's often exactly what you need. We talk about honoring your mental capacity, releasing pressure, and trusting that creativity, motivation, and vision will come back when the time is right.Ways to work with Corinne: Join the Mind Your Hormones Method, HERE!

Hi mama, Get my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨today! And Happy New Year… welcome to 2026. Before the goals, resolutions, planners, and pressure of a brand-new year take over, this episode is a moment to pause together. If you're ending one year exhausted and quietly hoping the next one will feel different… you're not alone. So many working moms start the year with good intentions, only to find themselves right back in survival mode… reacting instead of choosing, feeling behind instead of grounded, and wondering where the time went. In this short episode, I'm speaking to you not just as a coach… but as another working mom who's been there. Inside this episode, we talk about: ✨ Why motivation fades… and why that's not your fault ✨ Why planning tasks without priorities keeps us stuck ✨ How to stop letting another year just “happen” to you ✨ What it really means to design a year around your life… not the other way around This is not about doing more. It's not about hustle, perfection, or a brand-new you. It's about stepping into 2026 with intention.
In this New Year's first podcast episode, I'll break down “THE FOUR PATTERNS THAT PREVENTED MOMS FROM TURNING AUTISM SYMPTOMS AROUND IN 2025.” I'm pretty sure numbers 1 and 4 will surprise you (a lot).We're talking about….The mindset traps.The strategy gaps.The spiritual blockers……..that I see happen over and over again. Based on 70+ audits - working with intelligent, driven, and faith-based (or curious) moms like you.You need to know this to set up a strategy that actually works this season, not just temporary, fragile results.You know a lot about nutrition and diet. You have a spiritual or faith-based approach to healing.But. You have changed. You're no longer the same as when you first suspected that your child was different. You have outgrown the strategies, most of the moms, and the practitioners you used to rely on. Your family, siblings in the shadow, husbands - are no longer able to hold the pressure, and it's threatening to steal the childhood and the life quality for all family members. Something HAS to change. NOW.You're probably sensing a big shift where the ambition has changed. We no longer “just want to remove symptoms”; we want future independence, life skills, and emotional intelligence.Adding more tools or therapies, thinking that the more you do, the less symptoms you will see - has the opposite effect (long term).Let's change that…But there are massive root causes preventing this turnaround.You cannot "head on a stick" your way out of this. You can't abandon yourself and save your child at the same time.Why should you listen?
We're officially back and jumping straight into the new year with all the energy.In this episode, we're catching up on everything from the past few weeks and easing our way back into real life… while also feeling very ready to go full pedal-to-the-metal in 2026.We recap: New Year's Eve and how we rang in the new year Candace's birthday and all the feelings that come with another lap around the sun The general excitement, motivation, and “okay let's do this” energy that January bringsWe also take a minute to reflect on last January vs. now — how different things feel, what's shifted, and how intentionally putting ourselves first over the last year genuinely changed our lives. More clarity, more confidence, and a lot less tolerating what doesn't serve us anymore.If you're feeling motivated, hopeful, reflective, or somewhere in between as the year kicks off, this one will feel like a cozy but energizing chat with friends who get it.Keep up with the Moms and join the conversation on our socials:
What if the fatigue, stubborn weight changes, brain fog, inflammation, or burnout you're experiencing isn't a failure of willpower, but a signal that your metabolism is under strain? In this solo episode, Dr. Taz unpacks what metabolic health actually means in the age of GLP-1 medications. She explains why weight loss alone is not the same as healing, and how focusing only on the scale can quietly erode muscle, gut function, hormonal balance, cellular energy, and nervous system resilience.You'll learn why so many people lose weight but still feel exhausted, inflamed, anxious, or disconnected from their bodies. Dr. Taz breaks down the six core metabolic engines that regulate energy, fat storage, blood sugar, hormones, stress response, and longevity, and why ignoring even one of them can stall long-term health.This episode reframes metabolism as a full body system. One that includes the gut microbiome, hormone signaling, mitochondrial function, liver detoxification, muscle health, and the nervous system. When these systems fall out of sync, weight becomes a symptom, not the root issue.Dr. Taz shares: • Why GLP-1 medications support weight loss but do not repair metabolic dysfunction • How up to 25% of weight lost on GLP-1s can come from muscle, impacting long-term health and longevity • Why the gut is the foundation of metabolic health and how digestion, bile flow, and microbiome balance shape hormones and inflammation • How hormone shifts, especially in midlife, can rapidly disrupt blood sugar, cholesterol, energy, and weight • The role of cellular and mitochondrial health in fatigue, brain fog, and metabolic slowdown • Why liver function is central to detoxification, fat metabolism, and insulin regulation • How stress and nervous system dysregulation can drive cravings, poor sleep, and metabolic instability • How to identify which metabolic engine needs attention first so your plan stays targeted and sustainableWhether you're currently on a GLP-1, considering one, struggling after coming off, or simply want to build metabolic health that lasts for decades, this episode offers a grounded, integrative roadmap. You don't need to chase trends or stack solutions. You need to understand the system you're living in.You may not control every variable that shaped your metabolism, but you can change how it functions moving forward.Stay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)
January can feel isolating when you're grieving your child. The world is talking about fresh starts and new goals, but you may feel like you're living in a world you don't recognize anymore—because your child is no longer in it. In this episode, I'm naming why January often feels heavier than people expect after child loss, and why it makes sense if you don't want to "reset," "start over," or plan your way into a better version of yourself right now. This is about stepping out of the world's pressure—and finding a steadier place to stand. In this episode, you'll learn… Why the "new year" narrative can feel so disorienting after child loss How to recognize when cultural pressure is adding weight to your grief What it means to opt out of timelines and expectations that no longer fit your life How God begins in the empty, formless places—when you have nothing left to give If January has been making you feel out of place, behind, or quietly exhausted, I want you to know this: there is nothing wrong with you. You don't have to force progress to prove you're okay. Press play, take a slow breath, and let this episode remind you that God meets you right where you are—and He will not rush you. Grief Mentor Services ✨ GRIEF MENTOR SESSIONS If your heart feels overwhelmed or you're unsure how to navigate this season of grief, I would be honored to walk with you in a 1:1 Grief Mentor Session — a time of intentional listening, spiritual discernment, and compassionate mentorship to help you understand your grief and take steady steps forward.

Zen shares her journey of advocating for children's health by tackling the dangers of biocides, GMOs, glyphosate, and toxic chemicals in our environment. As she discusses the alarming rise of chronic illness among children and the impact of harmful agricultural practices, Zen provides actionable insights on how we can collectively create a cleaner, healthier planet for future generations. Join us as we explore the importance of community action and the role of informed parenting in safeguarding our children's wellbeing.

We essentially live in a synthetic chemical soup. Given the amount of toxic exposure we face from harmful chemicals used in agriculture, manufacturing, mining, and the energy industries, our times ask us to be relentless in the pursuit of clean air, water, soil, food, and every consumer product we use. Behavioral change and action are imperative to ensure the continuance of all life. Zen Honeycutt shares how we can advocate for the health of our children, public health, and that of the planet itself. Zen has motivated and inspired millions of mothers to advocacy and action on behalf of their children and communities, many of whom have directly suffered from the harmful legacy of toxic chemicals being used in the US and globally. Our children deserve the inheritance of a clean and thriving Earth free from toxic exposure.

Thank you for sharing some of your valuable time. It's a joy to step into this fresh beginning with you. As we welcome January we also welcome Sanctity of Life month. A time set aside to reflect on the profound dignity of every human person and the call to love that dignity into the world. This show takes that thought and brings to light what that looks like in the real world. Our focus will be on 2 essential life lines for Moms in crisis pregnancies, pregnancy centers and maternity homes. These places don't just offer services they offer hope, community, and the kind of support that can change the trajectory of a mother's life and her child's future. This is an important conversation and we are grateful you are here to be a part of it. Links mentioned in the show:https://desormeauxfoundation.orghttps://womansnewlife.com
A few years ago, I was sitting in a coffee shop feeling completely overwhelmed by all the things I thought I should be doing better—as a mom, as a wife, in my work, in every area of my life. My brain was foggy, my to-do list felt impossible, and I couldn't shake the feeling that I was failing at everything. So I grabbed a pen and started writing—and three questions emerged that helped me cut through the noise and get clear on what I truly valued, not what everyone else expected of me. In this episode, I'm re-airing that original conversation from January 2022, and then coming back at the end to share what's happened since—what worked, what didn't, and how I'm answering those same questions for 2026. This isn't about pressure or perfection. It's about growing in ways that align with YOUR values. In this episode, you'll learn: ✨ Why you might be chasing growth without ever feeling successful—and how to fix that ✨ The uncomfortable question that instantly clarifies what truly matters to you ✨ How one small habit shift can create a ripple effect across your entire lifeIf you've been feeling like everyone else got a head start on 2026 except you, I hope this conversation reminds you that the right questions matter more than the perfect goals.

Moms, life throws us into so many conversations every day… Talking with our kids, navigating our husband's work party, connecting with other moms, or building our own friendship. All of these moments show who we are and how we communicate. Today, Debra Fileta, counselor, author, and podcaster, joins me to share practical tips on how to communicate effectively with friends, family, and loved ones. In our tech-driven world, we've lost many opportunities for genuine connection, and often we don't realize how we come across when meeting new people or entering a room full of strangers. Debra shares insights from her new book, People Skills, to help us connect in deeper, more authentic ways. Here's some of what we cover: Relationships and people skills: The strength of your relationships depends on the skills you bring into them. Communication matters: In a tech-driven world, real-life interactions with tone, body language, and facial expressions are more important than ever. Understanding communication styles: Learn the four types—assertive, aggressive, passive, passive-aggressive—and how to navigate them. Practical tips for being a great conversationalist: Honor your story, honor theirs, and create space for give-and-take in relationships.

Hi Mamas, Download my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨ As you step into a new week, this Monday Mindset is a reminder you may not know you need—but probably feel deep in your bones. Being busy doesn't mean you're being intentional. And a full schedule doesn't always mean a fulfilled life. In today's episode, we're talking about why working moms don't struggle with knowing what matters—we struggle with protecting it. ✨ This Week's Quote “The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.” — Stephen Covey This quote comes from Covey's classic book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People… a must-read when it comes to time management, values, and intentional living. So much of what we talk about here on the podcast traces right back to the principles he teaches.
SURPRISE. This episode was recorded on 12/26, meant to go live on 12/30… and then the holidays happened. You know how it goes. So here we are, dropping it now as a little bonus episode straight from the weird, cozy, disorienting space between Christmas and New Year's.In this episode of Mom Group Chat, we're fully in the in-between. The fog. The “what day is it?” energy. The debate of all debates: do we stop drinking and try to reset our lives… or do we simply keep the party going until January tells us to stop?We recap our Christmas days, all the plans we somehow packed into one week, and the chaos and sweetness that comes with it. Candace talks birthday plans, we reflect on how full (and tired) we are, and mostly just let the conversation wander exactly the way it does during holiday break.No big theme. No lessons. No tidy wrap-up. Just a mish-mash, ramble-y, honest check-in from two moms trying to find their footing before real life kicks back in.Think of this episode as a voice memo from your friends while everyone's still in leggings, eating leftovers, and pretending January isn't coming yet.Keep up with the Moms and join the conversation on our socials:
Hey friend, Do you start January feeling hopeful… then crash by the second week? Are you tired of setting goals you want to do but don't have the capacity for? What would change if your New Year plan was actually designed for your body, your symptoms, and your nervous system? In this episode, I break down why traditional New Year goals don't work for chronic illness moms — and what to do instead. You'll learn how to set gentle, capacity-based rhythms that reduce stress, stabilize your energy, and actually move your healing forward without overwhelming you. This is a nervous-system-safe approach to the New Year that honors your real life, your kids, and your symptoms.

Moms Who Podcast - Simply Start, Grow, or Monetize Your Podcast
Three years of Moms Who Podcast feels surreal in the best way. In this anniversary episode, I'm reflecting on what's changed, what hasn't, and how hosting this podcast has shaped my business, my clarity, and my confidence over time. While I share milestone numbers, this episode isn't about downloads. It's about evolution, alignment, and building something intentionally instead of chasing metrics.I'm also pulling back the curtain on where this podcast is headed next, why clarity matters more than virality, and the biggest lesson I've learned after three years behind the mic: a smaller, more aligned audience will always outperform a bigger, unfocused one.

The start of a new year often comes with quiet expectation... to do more, be more, and have everything figured out. For many moms, especially those balancing motherhood, work, and caregiving, that pressure doesn't feel motivating. It feels heavy.In this episode of the Free to Be Mindful Podcast, licensed therapist, mom coach, and podcast host Vanessa De Jesus Guzman reflects on the emotional weight of the New Year and what it really means to grow when life, and capacity, looks different than it once did.Rather than leaning into “new year, new me” energy, this conversation offers a grounded reframe rooted in grace, intention, and deliberate growth. It's an honest look at expectations we place on ourselves, how motherhood reshapes our capacity, and why progress still counts even when it doesn't show up loudly or in numbers.This episode is especially for professional moms who are juggling multiple roles while quietly wondering if they're doing enough, or falling behind.EPISODE DESCRIPTIONIn this reflective New Year episode, Vanessa explores:Why the New Year often feels emotionally heavy for momsHow motherhood and professional life change capacity and expectationsThe difference between intentional growth and deliberate growthWhy progress doesn't always show up in numbersLetting go of unrealistic “new year, new me” pressureA more compassionate approach to personal growthA NOTE FOR MOMS WHO NEED SUPPORT RIGHT NOWVanessa shares why she's bringing back The Real Talk Reset, an intentionally small Amiga Moms support group created for moms who are carrying a lot and need space to pause, talk honestly, and manage big emotions without suppressing them.The next Real Talk Reset takes place January 10th in Ridgefield, NJhttps://www.amigamoms.com/event-details/therealtalkreset-jan Podcast listeners receive a special thank-you discount: FTBMPod25J Groups are intentionally kept small for a curated, intimate experienceWhile it can feel therapeutic, this is not therapyIf you're listening after January 10th, The Real Talk Reset will continue on a monthly basis in Ridgefield, NJ.TAKEAWAY MESSAGEYou don't need a louder year to have a meaningful one.

Moms working from home, we all want to get stuff done without losing our minds. Most days that happens, but it does take some planning. If you want a day without the chaos, yes, it is possible, then you need to have a plan and implement that plan. Your plan will probably look a lot different from mine, but there are things that we can all do to lessen that chaos and have a day without the stress…at least for most days.

Have you ever downloaded a new budgeting app, opened a fresh spreadsheet, and promised yourself this time will be different... only to fall right back into the same money stress a few weeks later?You're not broken.And you don't have a willpower problem.In this episode of The Money Mom Podcast, I'm breaking down why budgeting alone doesn't actually lead to financial peace, confidence, or debt freedom, and what's really going on beneath the surface when money systems don't stick.We'll talk about why numbers don't change habits, how your emotions and subconscious beliefs drive spending, and why so many moms stay stuck in the same cycle even when they “know what to do.”You'll also learn about the four money personalities I see most often in moms:The Avoider who doesn't want to look at the numbersThe Emotional Spender who shops to cope with stressThe Scarcity Saver who budgets well but never feels at peaceAnd the Confident Money Mom — the version of you who feels calm, grounded, and in control of her money (without obsession or restriction)This episode isn't about shame, restriction, or another spreadsheet. It's about understanding why you show up the way you do with money — so you can finally change it.If you've ever felt:Overwhelmed by budgetingStressed about debtGuilty for spendingAfraid to check your bank accountOr tired of money running your emotions, marriage, or mental space…this episode will meet you exactly where you are.✨ And if you're ready to do the deeper work — combining practical money skills and mindset — I'll also share how you can join us inside Money Mom Club, a supportive community of women learning how to save, spend, invest, and feel confident with money.

Happy New Year! We're kicking off 2026 with a special bonus episode because this is the year to stop doing motherhood alone. This one's all about building your support system, finding your people, and creating real community for you and your family. Let's go. We're joined by Megan Champion, the creator of Mothers Together—a first-of-its-kind global community designed specifically for moms of neurodivergent kids. Their mission? Improve moms' mental health by fostering genuine friendships, deep connection, and a judgment-free space where you don't have to explain yourself (because honestly… exhausting). Megan shares why friendship matters so much in this season of life, what makes Mothers Together different, and how this community might be exactly what you've been looking for—even if you're not sure you're a “joiner.” Open House enrollment happens quarterly, and the first one of 2026 kicks off January 7th.

Quotable Moments"I remember the fear of having this, you know, tiny new baby at home and also sending a bigger kid to daycare and being afraid of my daughter contracting illness.""We tell families that our responsibility is to make recommendations and to provide them with information and answer the questions that they have so that they can make the decisions that are best for them""It would take something like greater than 10,000 vaccines, administered at one time in order to overwhelm the system.""If someone's trying to make a decision and they're not getting good evidence-based information, then they don't have the tools they need to make the best decision for themselves and their family.""The family is the greatest influence on the health to care decisions that they make.""Parents have the opportunity by considering vaccination to prevent having a child that's sick and miserable and full of snot and struggling to breathe""The RSV vaccine is safe, effective, and very beneficial for your baby.""Women to know that they're not alone as they navigate this, as they think about how they're going to keep their baby healthy."Show Notes by BarevalueResources:ACOG:https://www.acog.org/programs/immunization-infectious-disease-public-health/tools-and-resources/infographic-respiratory-syncytial-virus?utm_source=redirect&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=inthttps://www.acog.org/programs/immunization-infectious-disease-public-health/tools-and-resources/infographic-rsv-vaccine-top-3-reasonsCDChttps://www.cdc.gov/rsv/vaccines/index.htmlSociety for Maternal Fetal Medicinehttps://www.highriskpregnancyinfo.org/vaccine-guide-for-pregnancy-2024https://www.smfm.org/rsvVideo: https://youtu.be/BnpKnTlWZaI?si=mN4bxvw-S3NcAaKzHealthy Children.orghttps://www.healthychildren.org/English/family-life/Media/Pages/follow-pediatricians-for-trustworthy-content-on-childrens-health.aspxACOG:https://www.acog.org/programs/immunization-infectious-disease-public-health/tools-and-resources/infographic-respiratory-syncytial-virus?utm_source=redirect&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=intAmerican Academy of Family Physicians

Revival Mom | Grow Deeper with God, Encourage children in the Lord, Christian Home
Have you ever felt afraid to raise your kids in today's world—like there's a heaviness hovering over your home, your marriage, and your family that you can't quite shake? In this prophetic and deeply encouraging episode, Alyssa shares a vision the Lord gave her that reveals the spiritual warfare many Christian families are facing right now. This isn't about fear or striving harder—it's about learning how to partner with the Holy Spirit in the middle of cultural pressure, parenting overwhelm, and spiritual opposition. Alyssa breaks down why resentment, self-doubt, and feeling “not enough” are often symptoms of spiritual warfare, especially when God is calling moms to stand in the gap for their homes and marriages. Through the story of David and Goliath, she reveals the “one stone” God is asking moms to use in this season—and why the Holy Spirit is not asking you to do more, but to stay close.

If you find yourself thinking, “Nothing changed this year,” I hear you. And I've been there. So many of us moms reach the end of the year still feeling anxious, triggered, or unsure, and assume that means we haven't grown. In this episode, I talk about why that thought feels so true—and why it often misses what really matters. As our kids grow, the challenges don't go away; they change. Raising and launching teens requires more trust, more restraint, and a deeper tolerance for uncertainty. And yet, we rarely recognize our ability to meet those changes as growth. In this episode, I explore what it really means to let go—not perfectly, but year after year, in ways that shape us even when we don't feel different. If you're navigating the emotional complexity of parenting big kids or stepping into the empty nest, this episode will help you see the quiet ways you've been evolving all along.
Effective Fitness for Women: Fat Loss & Muscle Gain for Fitness Beginners
You're working hard, getting sweaty, and feeling exhausted—but are you actually getting stronger? If you're doing YouTube workouts, random social media classes, or group fitness without tracking progress, the answer is probably no. In this episode, I break down the science of input, output, and variables—and why random workouts produce random results (or worse, no results). Your muscles need progressive overload and clear signals to adapt. Without measurement, you have no idea if what you're doing is working. Stop guessing. Start winning.

How do you know what to focus on as a mom? Where is the right place to start?

EPISODE SUMMARY In this episode, Emily sits down with volleyball legend Gabby Reece—professional athlete, podcast host of The Gabby Reece Show, entrepreneur—to talk about the unsexy truths that actually keep long-term relationships alive. Gabby pulls no punches as she reveals her controversial "48-hour sex rule," and how treating sex like going to the gym (just get your shoes on and show up) has sustained their passion for decades. This conversation dismantles the romanticized version of marriage and replaces it with raw honesty about vulnerability, stoicism almost ending her relationship, and why "misogynists are bitches" but real masculinity is powerful, protective, and tender. Gabby shares her four rules for keeping an alpha male happy (hint: food and sex made the list), the farmer versus flower dynamic that prevents resentment, and why her self-care hierarchy puts herself first, her relationship second, and her kids third—unapologetically. In this episode, you'll learn: • The 48-hour sex rule works—scheduling sex isn't sexy, but it's sexier than one partner begging and the other constantly rejecting; Gabby and Laird have sex every other day, and she admits she strategically loads her calendar the day after because she "doesn't have to answer to anyone" • Clear the decks daily to avoid divorce—Laird confronts everything immediately (every look, tone, word) so resentments never build; Gabby credits this practice with saving their marriage after years of her being too stoic nearly ended it • Understanding the farmer vs. flower dynamic—sometimes one partner is in the spotlight (the flower) while the other supports (the farmer), and the roles switch; when one person is always the farmer, resentment builds and relationships suffer • Real masculinity isn't misogyny—true masculine strength includes compassion, protection, and tenderness; we've trained men to feel bad about their masculinity, and bringing kindness (not anger) while setting boundaries helps everyone thrive • You have the goods—ask for what you want—Gabby's advice to young women about sex is radical: stop performing, start demanding your pleasure, and remember that good sex is about mutual understanding, not just one person's orgasm More Dr. Emily: • Shop With Emily!

Every year you promise yourself a total makeover... and every year you end up exhausted, overwhelmed, and right back where you started. Not because you're not motivated. Not because you don't care. But because you're trying to overhaul everything at once. The truth? Real change sticks when you build one small habit at a time in the right order. In this episode, I'm breaking down why New Year goals fall apart for busy moms and how to create habits that actually support your energy, mood, metabolism, and the version of you you're trying to become. You'll hear: • Why changing 10 things at once backfires • The biggest mistake moms make when choosing habits • The one habit I changed this year that transformed my patience, energy, and confidence • Why morning workouts work even if you swear you're not a morning person • How to stack habits like building blocks so they stick all year This is for you if: ✔ You try to become a brand new person every January ✔ You start strong then slip back into old patterns ✔ You want to feel better than you did before kids ✔ You're ready for habits that support your real life, not drain it A few of my fave takeaways from the episode: "Your brain can't handle too many new decisions at once." "Sometimes staying stuck feels safer than making a change." "Habits work when you build them like blocks with the right mindset behind them." "I don't say I'm not a morning person anymore because I proved I can follow through." Simple shifts. Real results. You've got this
Mental Wealth, Leave a New LegacyFor many moms, hosting is expected to feel joyful, easy, and welcoming. But for some, opening their home brings overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, and a nervous system that never truly gets to rest.In this episode of Mental Wealth, Katie sits down with Laura Wood to explore why hosting can feel so hard even when you love the people you are inviting in. Together, they unpack how childhood environments, emotional unpredictability, and early patterns of needing to read the room can wire moms for hypervigilance and over functioning inside their own homes.This conversation goes beyond surface level expectations and looks at the emotional labor of hosting, nervous system regulation, and the hidden cost of holding space for others while managing your own internal state.Laura offers compassionate insight into the difference between capacity and desire, why boundaries around your home are not selfish, and how healing does not always mean pushing yourself to do more. Sometimes healing looks like honoring your limits and allowing your home to remain a place of safety and rest.If hosting leaves you depleted or questioning yourself, this episode will help you feel seen and validated. You are not broken. Your body is communicating.#NervousSystem #HealingJourney #MomMentalHealthConnect with Laura: https://www.facebook.com/BenavieriConnect with Katie: https://www.facebook.com/KatieHalleLambert Brought to you by Team EvoAZ at eXp Realty and Benavieri Counseling. *The information shared in this podcast is not intended to treat or diagnose a mental health or medical condition.

Our 2025 Year-End Episode is here! We're looking back on the wins, the hard moments, the lessons our kids taught us, and all the laugh-out-loud chaos that came with being autism moms this year. We answer questions like: • What did our kids teach us in 2025? • What were our biggest mom wins—and our toughest moments? • Which episodes surprised us the most? • What themes kept showing up in our community? • What do we want more (and less!) of in 2026? It's honest, messy, funny, emotional, and the perfect way to close out the year. Come wrap it up with us. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hi Mamas, Download my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨ As we close out the final Monday of the year, I wanted to pause with you… before the noise of “new year, new me” takes over… and help you enter this next season with intention, not pressure. Over the past few weeks in our Becoming Her series, we've done some powerful reflection together: The woman you've been this year The mom you want to be moving forward The partner you're becoming And the life you're intentionally designing And today's Monday Mindset is about bringing all of that together. This Week's Quote “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your habits.” — James Clear This quote is such an important reminder… especially right now… because so many of us head into January focused on what we want to do… instead of who we want to become. Goals can be inspiring… but motivation fades. Life gets loud. Kids get sick. Schedules shift. Habits are what support you when real life shows up. If you want more peace, your habits need to protect peace. If you want more connection, your habits need to create space. If you want more clarity, your habits need to support the woman you're becoming… not the stress you're trying to escape.
