Eight nights of Hanukkah can feel like a marathon, especially when kids are away at college, packages arrive late, and the to-do list keeps growing. In this candid Whinypaluza Wednesday episode, Rebecca Greene and Seth Greene discuss what it really looks like to be in the Hanukkah weeds and why that feeling shows up every year. Rebecca shares the behind-the-scenes reality of wrapping presents nightly, juggling work, missing her son, and realizing how much her priorities have shifted. This conversation is about letting go of perfection, choosing presence over presents, and reminding ourselves that it all gets done in the end. Key Takeaways - Presence matters more than presents. - Being together outweighs any gift. - Eight nights is a lot. - Hanukkah comes with its own pressure. - Perfection is not required. - Good enough really is good enough. - Exhaustion makes everything more complicated. - Sleep changes perspective.Moms often do too much because they care. That comes from love, not failure. It always gets done. Even when it feels chaotic. Memorable Quote “I'm in the weeds, but I don't really care. I've got better priorities.” Continue the Conversation Visit whinypaluza.com to read Rebecca's blog and past reflections. Join the Whinypaluza Mom Group on Facebook for support and community.

I'm already disappointed by the holidays.If you've ever had that thought—even before the holiday is over—this episode is for you. The holidays are supposed to feel joyful and connected, and yet, for so many moms of teens and adult kids, this season brings a quiet mix of love, overwhelm, frustration, and disappointment that no one really talks about. You can adore your family and still feel exhausted by the mess, the noise, the disengagement, or the feeling that the holidays don't look the way they used to. In this episode, I talk honestly about why the holidays can feel so hard, and why that discomfort doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong. I explore how we often cope by working harder and taking responsibility for everyone else's emotions, all in an effort to finally feel at peace. And why that approach, as understandable as it is, leaves us feeling even more disappointed. If you're feeling worn down by the pressure to make the holidays magical, this episode will help you let go and actually find moments of peace in your life without needing to change anything first.

Christmas is right around the corner, and things are getting a little chaotic. Moms, we see you—juggling a million things just to make the magic happen. Don't miss Cat's paper plates vs. platters analogy… it's kinda mind-blowing. We're taking a short break to soak up the holidays with our families, so kick back and enjoy some of our favorite reruns until we're back with a brand-new season.

Hi mama, Get my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨today! We're continuing our Becoming Her series, and today we're diving into a big one—the career you want in 2026. As we close out this year and prepare to open a fresh new chapter, this episode is an invitation to pause and reflect before jumping into goal-setting or making big decisions. Because this conversation is for both types of working moms: • The mom who feels unfulfilled and knows she wants something different • The mom who likes her job, values her career, and wants to grow or climb the ladder... without burning herself out If you've ever found yourself busy, productive, and checking all the boxes… yet still feeling disconnected or restless, this episode is for you. In this deeply personal and practical episode, I share my own journey of realizing I had slowly lost pieces of myself in survival mode… and how slowing down, getting clear, and taking intentional steps changed everything. You'll also learn how to identify whether you're being called to stay, stretch, or shift in this next season… and how to move forward without pressure, guilt, or overwhelm.

If your home feels heavy, overstimulating, or hard to keep up with, the issue may not be your motivation or discipline—it may be the amount of stuff you're trying to manage. In this episode, we're talking about why downsizing what you own is one of the most effective ways to reduce resistance in your environment, especially for women with ADHD and executive function challenges.For ADHD brains, clutter creates constant decision-making, visual noise, and mental overwhelm. Too much stuff makes everyday tasks feel harder than they need to be, from tidying and cleaning to staying consistent with routines. When you reduce the inventory in your home, your space begins to support you instead of working against you. Systems become easier to maintain, resets take less time, and starting tasks doesn't feel so heavy.In this episode, I explain how downsizing helps lower mental load, reduce frustration, and create an environment that feels calmer and more functional. We'll talk about why having fewer items makes it easier to see and use what you own, cut down on searching and re-buying, and eliminate the guilt that often comes with excess belongings. A simplified home also makes daily habits easier to repeat, even on days when your energy and focus are low.If you're craving a more peaceful home, less overwhelm, and systems that finally stick, this episode will help you understand why downsizing is a key step toward creating an ADHD-friendly environment that supports the life and rhythms you want.

Balance is a myth. It's not real life. Not with kids. Not with work. Not with the constant pull of motherhood. What we actually need is the margin to rest, reset, and live at a pace that honors your real life. This week's episode is one of my favorites. We talk about: • Why balance doesn't work • What moms are actually craving • How to create real margin in your day • The small shifts that make a big difference Here is your permission to slow down.

In this heartfelt episode of Autism for Badass Moms, we sit down with Natalie Carbone, a wife, mother, and autism advocate from Union City, New Jersey, whose life took an unexpected—but deeply purposeful—turn.After becoming a medical assistant, Natalie began to notice that her daughter, Sienna-Rose, wasn't meeting developmental milestones. When Sienna-Rose was diagnosed with autism at age six, Natalie made a courageous decision to pivot her career and step into the role of a behavioral therapist—driven not just by profession, but by purpose.Natalie is now the founder of Natalyze Behavior, a community-driven platform dedicated to supporting children and families navigating behavioral and developmental challenges. What began as a deeply personal journey rooted in motherhood and advocacy has evolved into a trusted space where families can find guidance, tools, and encouragement tailored to their unique needs.Grounded in compassion, lived experience, and an unwavering belief that every child deserves to be understood and celebrated, Natalie shares how advocacy can grow from pain, how purpose can be born from uncertainty, and why families walking this path are never alone.This episode is a powerful reminder that sometimes the career we never planned for is the one we were always meant to walk.In this episode, we talk about:00:00 Introduction to Autism for Badass Moms00:55 Navigating Career Changes as an Autism Mom01:48 Meet Natalie Carone: A Journey of Advocacy04:22 Challenges and Triumphs in Early Diagnosis12:48 Finding Purpose and Building a Brand22:28 Expanding Support and Community Impact23:00 Community Inclusivity Initiatives23:37 Sensory Playground Transformation25:32 Self-Care and Reading Habits26:17 Sienna's Reading Journey27:38 Connecting with Natalie29:04 Advice for Moms of Special Needs Children32:12 Natalie's Confidence and Achievements36:28 Final Thoughts and EncouragementConnect with Natalie:Instagram: www.instagram.com/natalyzebehaviorTik Tok: natalyzebehaviorFacebook: Natalie Carbone If you found Natalie's episode informative and inspiring, please don't forget to follow on this platform and share this episode with another fellow badass mom or someone who you feel would benefit!FOLLOW US:Instagram: www.instagram.com/theabmpodcastFacebook: www.facebook.com/theabmpodcastTik Tok: autismforbadassmomsYouTube: autismforbadassmoms

Det lyder som den perfekte løsning på dyre indkøb: Sænk momsen. Politikerne står i kø for at foreslå det, men landets økonomer kalder det en "virkelig dårlig idé". For hvis du tror, at lavere moms er den smarte vej til en billigere indkøbskurv for dem, der har mindst, så kan du godt tro om igen. Genstart undersøger i dag hvorfor med Ann Lehmann, forbrugerøkonom hos AL Sydbank. Vært: Anna Ingrisch. Program publiceret i DR Lyd d. 19. december 2025.

Am I the Jerk? is the show where you can confess your deepest darkest secrets and be part of the conversation.

Russell Howard jokes about moms in her Netflix special, "Lubricant".

In this episode of Moms Talk Autism, we let go of the heavy stuff and dive straight into the hilarious, totally unhinged conversations only close friends have. From “Who would go missing first?” to “Which one of us is getting arrested?” to a full-on zombie apocalypse strategy session, nothing is off-limits. We also tackle the really important debates—like the ultimate sandwich, questionable fashion choices, brand loyalty, and a police story involving a teenager and a fart (yes, really). It's light, ridiculous, and the perfect peek into our friendship and the humor that keeps us going as moms. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hi Mamas, Download my free guide: ✨ ChatGPT Prompts Made Simple for Moms ✨ As we close out this year and prepare to step into a new one, today's Monday Mindset is all about reflection, growth, and permission. We're continuing our Becoming Her series, and this week we're focusing on your career… whether that means growing where you are, stepping into leadership, or beginning to question what's next. Today's quote sets the tone for this powerful in-between season: “What got you here won't get you there.”  - Marshall Goldsmith This quote isn't a judgment of where you are… it's an invitation. An invitation to recognize that the habits, beliefs, and patterns that helped you survive one season may not be the same ones that will help you thrive in the next. In this episode, we talk about: ✨ Why feeling called to grow doesn't mean you're ungrateful ✨ How survival habits can quietly keep you stuck ✨ Why awareness… not action… is the most important first step ✨ How to release guilt around wanting more ✨ What it really means to become the next version of you This is a gentle reminder that you're not behind, broken, or starting over—you're evolving. Monday Mindset Challenge This week, take 10 quiet minutes and reflect on this question: What is one habit, belief, or pattern that got me “here”… but might not take me where I want to go next? Maybe it's: • Overcommitting • Avoiding hard conversations • Saying yes out of guilt instead of alignment • Waiting for permission instead of trusting yourself You don't need to fix it this week. You don't even need to change it yet. Just notice it. Because awareness is always the first step toward alignment.

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! Can you believe we're just three days away from Christmas? Neither can we! This year absolutely flew by. To celebrate the moment, Julia, Thom, and Anthony come together to break down Amazon Prime's 2025 original holiday film, "Oh. What. Fun." Does the movie live up to its clever premise and stacked cast, or does it fall completely flat? Let's just say the elves are not exactly in agreement. (What else is new?) Along the way, the elves also dives into the Colburn Advent Activities, the Crowe family's ongoing plumbing saga, the latest movies Anthony's watched since the last episode, Steven Beech's spicy Christmas movie opinions, films that may have climbed onto—or slipped off of—our personal Top Ten lists, STDs vs. STIs, and much, much more. Take our word for it: this is a festive, fun-filled, and tangent-fueled episode you won't want to miss. So grab your favorite holiday drink, soak up the glow of your Christmas trees while you still can, and settle in for a good time. As always, thank you all so much for the love and support! We truly appreciate it! And make sure to check your podcast feeds on the 24th for your annual Christmas Eve story!

As the holidays approach, parenting teens and adult kids can bring up for us a wish for more ease, more connection, and a way to let go without feeling like you're losing yourself or your relationship with your kids. In this episode, I share three powerful gifts you can give yourself that will change how you experience this stage of motherhood. We'll explore what it means to stop taking responsibility for other people's emotions, how to stay connected to your teen without conditions or expectations, and why treating yourself with compassion is essential as you navigate the emotional shifts of letting go. If you've been feeling drained, stuck, or unsure how to show up as your role as a mom evolves, this conversation will help you approach parenting teens — and the empty nest ahead — with more intention and emotional freedom.

ABOUT THE EPISODE:When your journey with a child's substance use stretches into its second decade, you enter what we loving call "warrior mom" (or parent) territory – a place where endurance meets wisdom, and self-preservation becomes an art form. Today's conversation with Hopestream co-founder, Cathy, honors these battle-tested parents who've been navigating their adult children's challenges for ten, fifteen, even twenty years or more.This isn't an advice-filled episode - because more advice isn't what you need. It's a raw, honest dialogue between two mothers who know the unique terrain of loving a child through active use, high-risk lifestyles, homelessness, incarceration, and the revolving door of recovery and relapse. Cathy shares her own marathon story, including driving hundreds of miles to share picnics with her daughter – a simple act of presence that seemed insignificant (and ineffective) at the time but later proved transformative. You'll hear:Why "handing over a shift" to a higher power becomes essential for sustainable parenting through decades of struggleHow warrior parents navigate the delicate dance of support versus enabling when adult children face eviction, homelessness, or legal troublesThe unexpected and seemingly counterintuitive renewal that comes from serving othersWhy those seemingly fruitless gestures of connection (like Cathy's picnics) create an energetic contract that transcends the immediate momentThe liberating truth about our children's remarkable resourcefulness when stability disappears and traditional safety nets failThis podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityGet our free, 4-video course, Hope Starts Here, and access to our Limited Membership hereLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

What if your real estate success is slowly costing you everything that actually matters?In this episode of The Faithful Agent Podcast, Garrett Maroon sits down with Jessica Wade, a successful real estate agent and mom, for an honest conversation about faith, family, boundaries, and burnout in the real estate industry.Jessica shares her raw journey of building a thriving real estate business while unknowingly allowing work to overtake her marriage and family life. She opens up about the pressure to succeed, the pride that crept in, and how her real estate career ultimately led to a painful separation from her husband. Through God's faithfulness, intentional change, and a complete shift in priorities, Jessica and her husband experienced reconciliation and healing.This conversation dives deep into work-life balance for real estate agents, especially moms in real estate, covering practical boundary-setting, time management, and the mindset shift required to see business as ministry—not identity.

Carolina Allen, Dana Robb, and Shelli Spotts talk Christmas traditions, how to have an abundant holiday, and how to decide what really matters with your family during the holiday season.   “The world around us is so rich in natural abundance, and yet we're so distracted from it by the abundance of worry and the abundance of tasks.” - Shelli Spotts   “Gift giving is a beautiful expression of love and that someone else is on your mind and in your heart, and it's a genuine offering from you to them. I think that when we understand what a true gift is . . . you will come to recognize the bounty all around you, found in nature, found in service, found in repurposing things, and your eyes change so you're able to see things in a more beautiful way.” - Carolina Allen   “Christmas can be a time of an abundance of patience with other people.” - Carolina Allen   “Maybe sometimes there are going to be those moments that don't feel like abundance, but we push through and we get this beautiful experience on the other side and it's worth it.” - Dana Robb   “I think if we don't teach our children and include our husbands as well in creating the magic of the season that it falls all on the mother, and that's robbing them of their opportunities to learn and grow and develop this capacity to be active participants in creating the family magic.” - Carolina Allen   To read guest bios and to find out more about what we do go to www.bigoceanwomen.org.   00:00 Introduction to Currents Podcast 00:25 Exploring the True Meaning of Abundance 03:31 Gift Giving and Financial Strain 06:10 Creating Meaningful Family Traditions 08:56 Navigating Strained Relationships During Holidays 12:56 Personal Reflections on Holiday Traditions 19:24 Involving Family in Holiday Preparations 24:42 Encouraging Family Participation and Abundance 26:41 Family Traditions and Unique Contributions 27:50 Connecting Through Technology 29:55 Embracing an Abundance Mindset 31:50 Finding Joy in Small Moments 35:09 Creating New Traditions 36:03 The Power of Music and Prayer 38:43 Cherishing Small Moments and Memories 40:26 Conclusion and Final Thoughts    

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. If you're a mom, grandmother, or spiritual mentor who wants to raise the next generation with eternal perspective (not cultural compromise), this is a must-listen.

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. So we want to talk honestly about why friendships can be harder than we expect, the fears that drive us as parents, and what we can—and can't—control when it comes to helping us and our kids build real relationships.

They are an amazing math curriculum and we would encourage you to check them out over at teachingtextbooks.com Lastly, thank you to Samaritan Ministries, a community of Christians that pay one another's medical bills…helping families take a safe step of faith as they feel God's Leading in career or ministry changes or in bringing mom home.

Sometimes, you can't envision what's possible for yourself until you're already living it. As a mom entrepreneur, the road to building a business that truly reflects who you are can feel uncertain, but it's also incredibly rewarding.

These aren't just personal reflections; they're the reasons why this work is so meaningful to me and why I'm passionate about helping moms like you create businesses that light them up.

I'm worried my teen will ruin the holiday for me. Even saying that out loud feels uncomfortable. But if you're parenting teens or adult kids, you've probably had some version of this thought at one point or another. The holidays can magnify distance, tension, and unmet expectations, leaving us bracing for moods instead of enjoying the moments we hoped would feel meaningful. In this episode, I explore what's really underneath that fear. It's not about your teen being difficult — it's about how easily we tie our sense of connection and peace to how our kids show up. I'll explore the mindset trap of emotional outsourcing, why connection starts to feel conditional in this phase of motherhood, and how letting go can feel both necessary and terrifying at the same time. Join me to learn how to create connection without waiting for your teen to meet you halfway, and how to let go of the belief that your child gets to decide whether the holidays — or your relationship — feel good.

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?

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.

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.
