The polished facade of NXIVM has shattered, and in Part 2, we take you inside the federal courthouse where its leaders finally face justice. We explore the harrowing trial of Keith Raniere, built on the brave testimony of the women who escaped his control. From the secret master-slave sorority known as DOS to the shocking details of branding, blackmail, and psychological abuse, the full truth of the cult is laid bare. We cover the verdicts, the sentences, and the downfall of the man who called himself "Vanguard." But what happens after the headlines fade? To discuss the case's complex legacy, we are joined by a special guest: Natalie, the host of the popular podcast "Allison After NXIVM." She shares her unique insights into the story, the people involved, and the long road to recovery for those who lived through it.

What if good parenting isn't enough? (Hint hint: it's NOT) In this powerful and deeply convicting conversation, Judy Weber sits down with Terri Hitt—author of The Good Mom Trap, mom of four across two generations, and founder of the Godly Motherhood movement—to dismantle one of the most dangerous lies Christian moms believe: that being a good parent automatically produces godly kids. Terri shares her extraordinary God-story, including devastating loss, radical obedience, and how the Lord reshaped her understanding of motherhood, identity, and legacy. Together, Judy and Terri explore how culture quietly disciples our children and why moms must reclaim their role as the spiritual thermostat of the home. This episode goes far beyond theory. You'll hear real-life examples, hard truths, and hope-filled strategies for raising children who don't just behave well—but know Christ deeply and follow Him boldly.

Hey everybody, welcome back to The Smiling Homeschooler podcast. Today we're spending some time talking about friendships—for moms and for kids. This conversation was prompted by a message we got from a mom whose son is really struggling to find meaningful connection, even though they're involved in church, homeschooling, and community.

Are you actually ready for a fat loss program, or are you setting yourself up for another failed weight loss attempt? In this episode, I break down the 5 critical signs that indicate you're truly ready to commit to a structured fat loss program—and what to do if you're not quite there yet. Most moms jump into weight loss programs when they're motivated but not prepared. They invest time and money, only to quit when life gets hard. This episode will help you assess your true readiness so you can make sustainable progress instead of spinning your wheels. If you've struggled with weight loss in the past, this episode will help you understand why, and how to set yourself up for success this time. I hope you enjoy! -Rachel Book a call with me The Fat Loss Formula for Moms

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?

Send us a textThank you for being here! This episode is an honest reflection on feeling deeply connected yet quietly alone – a place many women find themselves in during midlife and parenting the teen years. Moving between lived experience, parenting observations, and relational insight, the episode explores the surprising parallel between teen loneliness and adult invisibility in a hyper-connected world.Rather than offering solutions or tidy conclusions, this conversation sits inside the discomfort of being needed but unseen, productive but unmirrored, surrounded by people yet craving resonance. It reflects on how digital connection can replace depth, how identity shifts disrupt belonging, and why loneliness often shows up not as isolation, but as a lack of reflection.Thank you for listening and being part of this community!

Our kids are always learning from us. Our words and our example shape who they will become, a reality established by God as he has created individuals and families. This means that for better or for worse, our kids are watching, and what they see in us and from us will play a powerful role in shaping who they are. The Journal of Health Psychology is hammering this point home. They've found that there's some kind of connection between a mother who is frequently engaged with social media, specifically taking, editing, and posting selfies, and a daughter who is interested in having cosmetic surgery. It's believed that these daughters have adopted a kind of dissatisfaction with their appearance that they inherited from watching their mom's own dissatisfaction. Parents, we live in an appearance obsessed culture. Your obsessions will influence your kid's obsessions. We urge you to find your identity in the rock, Jesus Christ, and not in your appearance.

Hi Mamas, Download my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨ In this Monday Mindset, we're continuing the Becoming Her series by focusing on an often-overlooked part of a working mom's identity… the partner she's becoming. As life gets busier with work, kids, schedules, and mental load, marriage often slips into survival mode. Conversations turn into to-do lists. Connection gets pushed to “someday.” And before you know it, you're managing life together… but not really connecting anymore. In today's episode, Kerri reminds you that this doesn't mean your marriage is broken… it means it's busy. And busy seasons don't require more effort… they require more intention.

If you blink and suddenly it's January, you're not alone. For millennial moms, the holidays come with invisible labor, endless deadlines, and the pressure to make everything magical. Erin & Tam talk about what's really causing the “fast season” feeling and how simple, cozy holiday hobbies can help you step out of survival mode and into slower, more meaningful moments. @theartofhobbyness www.artofhobbyness.com

As we prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ, I want to turn our attention to his lineage. Matthew lists generation upon generation that Jesus descended from in his first chapter. Among all the fathers and sons, for family lines followed the men, we find five women mentioned. Each of their stories is unique and each played a role in bringing the events of this holiday to pass. Join me as we learn about Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba and Mary. In these women's stories we see hints of the redemption that was and still is to come. Merry Christmas!

In this touching episode of the Radio Medium Laura Lee Show, Laura connects with Miss Molly from Vermont for a deeply personal and heart-affirming spirit reading. A mother figure in spirit immediately steps forward, offering love, validation, and a powerful message through the symbol of a cherished wedding band—celebrating Molly's marriage and reminding her she has never been alone. Spirit also sheds light on Molly's current challenges with friendships, social connections, and the emotional weight of full-time motherhood, encouraging her to seek community support through mom groups, preschool networks, and meaningful me-time to nurture her own soul. Filled with compassion, guidance, and uplifting validation, this episode is a reminder that spirit walks beside us through motherhood, healing, and every phase of life.

In this heartfelt conversation, Pip reflects on the profound changes that come with motherhood, emphasizing the emotional and physical investments made during pregnancy. She discusses the identity shift that occurs, the challenges of body image, and the importance of self-love and reverence for the journey of motherhood. Pip encourages mothers to recognize their strength and the miraculous nature of their bodies as they navigate this transformative experience. Takeaways Pregnancy is a full investment in your body and identity. Motherhood brings significant emotional and physical changes. It's important to honor the journey of becoming a mom. Body image issues are common but should be approached with kindness. The transformation into motherhood is profound and irreversible. Moms often feel pressure to return to their pre-baby bodies. Hormonal changes can affect mood and perception of self. Self-love and reverence are crucial during the postpartum period. Recognizing the investment made in motherhood can foster self-acceptance. Moms are powerful and should celebrate their journey. Sound bites: "It's a full investment, not just money." "Remember the sacredness around it." "Moms are super women."

celebrating my moms death anniversary, and celebrating the new release of my new book

When I led a ministry for moms of preschoolers, we hunted for an image to describe the unending demands that mothers experience. Changing diapers. Wiping noses. Picking up toys. It turns out the image was right in front of us: a disposable juice box, collapsed in on itself. Moms can feel like empty juice boxes. That ministry served moms by leading them to the Source of living water that can fill them to the full—Jesus. In John 7, Jesus went to the Festival of Tabernacles (v. 12), commemorating God’s provision during the Israelites’ wilderness wanderings. This festival included a water-pouring rite symbolizing the fruitfulness that only moisture produces and foreshadowed the spiritual rain the Messiah would bring. Jesus fulfills what the ancient festival anticipated. “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them” (vv. 37-38). At times, we can feel like empty containers. Weary from caregiving. Worn from working. Exhausted by everyday responsibilities. The unending demands draw us dry! But when we live in relationship with God, He provides springs of living water within our heart to refresh and refuel us no matter how many cares and concerns try to drain us.

In this episode, we tackle a topic that's been the elephant in the room of the ski world: fear. We sit down with Dr. Carol Porter, a Snowsport England coach with 20 years of experience and a PhD in pedagogical philosophies, and Kimberley Kay, author of the beloved "Ski A to Z" book and advocate for women in snow sports.Together, they reveal findings from their Fear Project research study that surveyed women globally about anxiety and fear in skiing. The results are eye-opening: 62% of women report that fear or anxiety affects their enjoyment when skiing, with mothers experiencing the highest levels of fear. The conversation explores why women's participation in skiing is dropping below 40% in the US, the unique fears mothers face on the slopes, and practical, research-backed strategies for rebuilding confidence after injury or setbacks.From breathing techniques to choosing quieter resorts to working with mindset coaches, Carol and Kimberley offer actionable advice for any ski mom who's lost her nerve or joy on the mountain. They also share exciting news about their presentation at the inaugural World Women's Snow Sports Summit and their ongoing work to make the ski industry more responsive to women's needs through visual safety education and industry advocacy.ResourcesWebsite: Kimberley Kay  Website: Dr Carol Porter: https://jeaniusski.com/ski-fearless/"Suddenly having responsibility for more people who don't have the same awareness of what could go wrong, and then knowing that if anything happens to me, well, who's gonna get them to school?" — Dr. Carol Porter"No one can learn when they're scared.

In this powerful Mothers Who Know Podcast episode, host Karen Broadhead helps Latter-day Saint mothers rediscover who they really are: God's secret weapon of light in their homes. When the enemy targets families with discouragement, contention, shame, and emotional chaos, mothers who stay rooted in Christ become true atmosphere angels—changing the spiritual climate without needing everything around them to be “fixed.”Through real, vulnerable stories from moms in different seasons of life, you'll learn:How a simple dinner-time activity—“10 Things We Love About You”—turned a tense, tearful family moment into laughter, connection, and healingHow turning that list into a daily “I am” truth declaration helped one mom fight back against lies of failure and not-enoughnessHow a young mom with toddlers (and a baby on the way) is navigating her husband's faith crisis, emotional overwhelm, and mom guilt by creating spirit-led declarations, speaking truth out loud, and inviting Christ into her daily spinWhy the adversary constantly whispers, “If you were just more, then you'd be enough,” and how to replace that with Christ's real equation:me + Jesus Christ = more than enoughKaren and these mothers explore:How to regulate emotions so you can actually feel and follow the Spirit in the middle of messy real lifeHow to hold your own spiritual “field” instead of letting other people's choices or moods define your worthHow to recognize when Satan is using evidence from your life to build false stories about you as a momWhy you don't have to be perfect, polished, or pain-free to be a spiritually powerful motherIf you're an LDS mom supporting children or loved ones who struggle with pornography, anxiety, depression, self-harm, faith questions, or other hard behaviors—and you're exhausted from feeling like you're never enough—this episode will help you see:You are not invisible.You are not failing.You are Heavenly Father's secret weapon for good in your home.

If you've ever been curious about period underwear but also kinda scared to try it… this is your episode. Today I'm chatting with Arielle Loupos, founder of FlowerGirl, and her story, her mission, and her product completely blew me away. Arielle creates non-toxic, beautifully designed period underwear  including the viral period thong and let me tell you… I was skeptical. Then I tried it, fell in love, messaged her immediately, and said: "You need to come on the podcast."  In this episode, we get super real. We talk about why traditional period care (tampons, pads, cups, discs) can cause problems, why so many women deal with cramps and PMS that aren't actually "normal," and how materials, toxins, and synthetic fibers impact our hormones more than we think. Arielle shares her journey from e-commerce to product creation, what it really takes to make functional, sexy, non-toxic underwear, and how she's disrupting a category that desperately needs it. We also dig into the misconceptions around period underwear - the "diaper feeling" myth, the fear of leaks, the cleaning process, and why so many women are shocked once they finally try a pair. And of course, I share my own story of trying the FlowerGirl thong on my heaviest day… and becoming immediately obsessed!  You've been running on empty long enough.

This week on the Moms on Call Podcast, Jennifer and Laura speak with parents Mark and Elizabeth Messenger from Birmingham, Alabama. They share their experiences as a blended family with children ranging from 11 years to seven months old, including their journey with their youngest, James, who spent time in the NICU. They discuss the challenges and blessings of having a routine in the hospital and how it helped their son thrive once home. The episode also touches on the emotional and logistical aspects of parenting, including the balance of caring for multiple children and the support systems that help families navigate these challenges.

Hello Friend from blustery Minnesota! Are we moving toward the life we want… or drifting somewhere we never meant to go? As busy moms, especially moms trying to hold work, home, kids, and groceries all together… this matters. Because the changes we allow into our lives, even tiny ones, shape the kind of person we're becoming. And we get to choose the direction. Some changes move us closer to the life God is calling us to live. Others quietly pull us farther away. There are changes we choose, like: Choosing to simplify meals Deciding to budget differently Starting a hobby Clearing clutter Saying yes to something new Saying no to something that drains us And there are changes that happen to us: A diagnosis A job shift A child entering a new season Loss New opportunities Unexpected blessings And even when change is outside our control… our response is ours to own. Because change isn't just what happens to us,  it's what it produces in us. Maybe think about a change you've made recently, even something tiny. Is this change making me more present or more distracted? Moms don't need more scattered energy. We need presence. Is this change making me more generous or more self-focused? When we free up time or money, does it help others… or only add more to our plate? Is this change making me healthier or less healthy? Emotionally, physically, spiritually, all of it matters. Is this change aligned with my deepest values? Faith, family, purpose, peace. If this continues for a year… who will I become? More grounded? Or more overwhelmed? Are the people who love me cheering for this… or gently concerned? Sometimes others can see what we can't. Will I be grateful for this change ten years from now? These questions aren't meant to burden you, they're meant to free you. To help you see what's shaping your life. If you recognize a change that isn't moving you in the direction you want to go, you're not stuck. God always gives us fresh starts. Here's where to begin: Name your direction. What kind of person do you want to be? More patient? More peaceful? More grounded? More present? Start small. You don't have to overhaul everything. One small change, even something as simple as cooking once a week can ripple through your whole home. Make reminders hard to ignore. A note on the fridge. The slow cooker on the counter. Scripture on the bathroom mirror. Replace old habits instead of just removing them. When you say no to something draining, say yes to something life-giving. Check your “direction” every few weeks. Ask, Is this change still moving me toward who I want to become? Friend, change is happening whether we choose it or not. But we get to choose the direction. We only get one life. One motherhood. One chance to build a home filled with peace instead of pressure. And that begins with the small, simple shifts we make every day. If you're feeling that tug today, like something in your life needs to shift, that's not an accident. That's the Lord nudging you toward something better. You're just one small, intentional change away from a life that feels lighter, calmer, and more aligned with who God made you to be. Blessings! Monica
