Great podcast hosts know how to guide a conversation in a way that feels natural, thoughtful, and deeply engaging, and today's guest does exactly that. I'm joined by my friend and fellow podcaster, Liz Emmerich, a professional clinical counselor, registered play therapist, mom of three boys, and the host of the Experience Motherhood podcast. Liz shares how she approaches podcasting while balancing life as a mom, especially during seasons when childcare is limited. We talk about the “both/and” reality many mothers experience: wanting to be fully present with their children while also pursuing meaningful passions outside of motherhood. Liz also opens up about stepping away from social media to focus on building her email list, the strategies that have helped her grow it, and how she decided it was worth investing in outsourcing her podcast editing. Along the way, she shares how her background as a therapist shapes the thoughtful questions she asks guests, how she's landed some impressive names on her show, and what goals she has for her podcast this year.In this episode, we cover:• Why the “both/and” mindset resonates so deeply with moms who want to nurture their families while pursuing personal passions.• Liz's realistic approach to podcasting during seasons with less childcare.• The strategies she used to grow her email list after stepping back from social media.• How she decided outsourcing podcast editing was a worthwhile investment as a frugal business owner.• What therapists understand about asking better questions and how it translates to stronger podcast interviews.• Liz's authentic approach to inviting well known guests onto her podcast.• What has been more challenging about podcasting than she originally expected.• Her goals for the Experience Motherhood podcast this year.• A new goal for the Pivot Ball Change network that will support all podcasts inside the community.Links & Resources:Liz's Mexican Stuffed Shells Recipe: https://www.thewaytohisheartblog.com/mexican-stuffed-shells/Read The Wishing Game: https://amzn.to/3PzhWUsFollow Liz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/experiencemotherhood/Listen to Liz's Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/experience-motherhood/id1678603043Join Liz's Email List: https://experiencemotherhood.myflodesk.com/kac05b818mLet's Connect!Book Your Podcast Consultation Today: https://www.pivotballchange.com/servicesFollow Pivot Ball Change on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pivotballchange/Visit Pivot Ball Change's Website: https://www.pivotballchange.com/
If you've ever caught yourself thinking, “I only have a few months left before my kid leaves home,” you're not alone. I remember thinking this constantly during my boys' senior years of high school. As moms raising teens and navigating the empty nest transition, it's easy to feel pressure to fix everything, teach everything, and make every moment count before our kids leave. In this episode, I explore how a scarcity mindset shows up in parenting teens...whether it's trying to repair the relationship before they go, worrying they're not ready for the world, or feeling responsible for making their final months at home perfect. I share my own story, including a moment during my son's senior year when I realized how much pressure I was putting on myself. When we shift from scarcity to an abundant mindset, letting go becomes less about loss and more about trust. If you're looking at the calendar and feeling pressure to make the most of the months before your big kid leaves home, this episode will help you breathe a little easier as you navigate the powerful, bittersweet process of letting go.
This week, we visit the other side of the parenting dimension and discuss the moms of Stranger Things. Stay Strange.
Half of American moms get Pitocin in labor — but many are never told the real risks ⚠️In this episode, we share Katie Spinks' story and the conversation many women say they wish they had before being induced. While Pitocin can be lifesaving, it can also intensify contractions, reduce oxygen to a baby, and in rare cases lead to devastating outcomes. We're unpacking what happens when an “elective induction” turns into a cascade of interventions — and why informed consent in birth matters.Thank you to our sponsors!TAYLOR DUKES WELLNESS: Use code ALEXCLARK for 10% off your purchase.BRANCH BASICS: Use code ALEX15 for 15% off Starter Kits.COWBOY COLOSTRUM: Use code ALEX for 25% OFF.GEVITI: Use code ALEX to get 20% off your first purchase.JOOVV: Get an exclusive discount on your first red light therapy order.Our Guest:Katie SpinksKatie's Links:INSTAGRAMFACEBOOKTIKTOK
Is nudity in your home the norm, or an absolute no-no?

This conversation is for anyone who feels like they've lost a piece of themselves and wants a way to reconnect, make more aligned decisions, and create a life that actually feels good.

Last week, I found out that one of my kids' teachers unexpectedly lost her husband in a car accident. She's in her early 30s with a toddler, and when I was telling Ryan, I just started to cry. I don't often cry, so it surprised both of us a little. The truth is, I was crying for her — and for all of the heaviness that has been building in my heart for months. The political division, the international conflicts, the injustice — it has felt like a lot lately. My teenage son sometimes says to me when we talk about hard things, "Mom, why does life have to be so hard?" And I tell him, "I don't know, Buddy. But you're right — and I also know that it is beautiful too."This week's guest is Shannan Martin, bestselling author of the brand new book Counterweights, and she has a practice for holding both of those things at once. In this episode, you'll learn:

Hi Mamas, If you've ever started the week with big intentions… working out, meal prepping, spending more quality time with your kids, or finally getting ahead at work… only to watch the week fill up with meetings, activities, and unexpected responsibilities… You are not alone. Today, we're unpacking a simple but powerful productivity truth: “What gets scheduled gets done.” — Michael Hyatt For busy working moms, the difference between wishing something would happen and actually making it happen often comes down to one thing… Putting it on the calendar. When something only lives in your head or on a never-ending to-do list, it's easy for it to get pushed aside. But when you intentionally block time for it… just like you would a meeting or appointment… it becomes a real commitment. In this episode, you'll discover how scheduling your priorities can help you: Create better work-life balance Make time for exercise, planning, and family connection Stop reacting to your schedule and start leading your week Reduce overwhelm and mental clutter Build consistency around habits that support your well-being You'll also hear a simple challenge to help you start implementing this mindset right away. Because the goal isn't to pack more into your schedule… It's to make sure the right things actually have a place in your week. And tomorrow's episode will build on this by walking you through a simple weekly reset routine that helps working moms plan their week with clarity and intention.
What does it look like when a community invests in its own future? In this special Podcasthon episode, Vanessa sits down with Dr. Angela Vargas - licensed psychologist and inaugural Futuro Fund board member - to share the story behind the Latino Mental Health Association of New Jersey's scholarship program that is changing the trajectory for the next generation of Latinx mental health professionals.From a small group of psychologists meeting in a basement 27 years ago to a two-day annual conference, a growing gala, and now a formalized scholarship fund — LMHANJ has become a cornerstone of Latino mental health representation in New Jersey. Through the Futuro Fund, they've awarded $4,000 and now $5,000 scholarships to graduate students committed to giving back to their communities. You'll also hear directly from scholarship recipient Yareimy Patrocinio, a first-generation MSW student and daughter of Mexican immigrants, on what this scholarship means for her path forward.In this episode:The 27-year evolution of LMHANJ — from psychologists-only to a multi-disciplinary, rebranded associationHow the Futuro Fund was born out of the inaugural gala — and why it's growingWhy mentorship and emotional support matter just as much as financial aidHow students can connect to LMHANJ and build a professional network before they even graduateWhat it means to be a first-gen professional investing in the next generation

France Has Fallen. Now for Old Trafford.Villa win 1-0 in Lille to take control of the Europa League tie — but the harder test arrives Sunday.In this double-header episode, the show analyses Villa's controlled but unconvincing win in France — the goal, the Watkins miss that should have killed the tie, and the moment John McGinn walked off the bench and immediately reminded everyone what Villa have been missing.Then it's forward to Sunday and a trip to Old Trafford, where the show sets out exactly why this fixture matters beyond three points, and why, despite United's impressive form under Carrick, this may be the moment Villa's season turns.Plus the MOMS panel prediction for Old Trafford, and a Tim Sherwood comparison that will not be retracted.UTVCheck out the best current deals on Aston Villa MerchandiseBecome a MOMS Member for ad-free & extra shows - MOMS MembershipJoin the show's listener Facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid | Chris Budd - @BUDD_music / Phillip Shaw - @prsgameThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

What does it actually take to keep a community's most vulnerable families from falling through the cracks? In this episode, Greg sits down with Molly Koivumaki, the first Executive Director of Beyond New Beginnings — a supportive housing program in Chaska that provides safe, stable homes for young moms and their children as they work toward independence.Molly brings nearly 25 years of Chaska roots, a background in municipal government and affordable housing, and a front-row seat to one of Carver County's best grassroots stories. It started with a Rotary meeting in 2019, when local businessman Russ St. John heard a presentation by New Beginnings High School teacher Sue Schmidt about the housing struggles facing young moms after graduation — and decided to do something about it. A few years later, that conversation has become a thriving program serving families in a beautifully rehabbed historic building in downtown Chaska, with a brand new fourplex on the way thanks to developer Dave Pokorney and Community Asset Group.Greg and Molly talk about what it actually looks like when a young mom walks through the door at BNB, why this program earns support across every political line, and what the community's response has revealed about the character of Carver County. Spoiler: it's not what Molly expected — and her answer might surprise you too.If you caught Greg's earlier episode with Sue Schmidt about the New Beginnings High School program, this is the next chapter. And if you haven't, this one stands completely on its own.Beyond New Beginnings is community-funded, volunteer-supported, and always looking for people who want to get involved — whether that's teaching a class, bringing a Monday night meal, or making a financial contribution.Learn more at beyondnewbeginnings.org

If you're a mom building a business or leading in your life, it can feel like the world never stops demanding your attention.Bad news. Fear-filled headlines. Social media overwhelm. Endless responsibilities.But what if burnout isn't coming from doing too much… What if it's coming from absorbing too much?In today's episode, we're talking about how women can protect their peace, lead their families well, and build meaningful work without constantly living in stress mode.I'm sharing three sustainable self-care tools that help you stay grounded, energized, and aligned — even in a world that thrives on chaos.Because self-care isn't selfish.It's how we protect the energy God gave us to live out our calling.Inside this episode you'll learn:• Why modern life keeps women in constant stress mode • How to protect your mind and nervous system from overwhelm • The power of an intentional “Input Diet” • How to create daily anchors that stabilize your day • Why choosing joy is actually an act of leadershipScripture we reflect on:“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” — Proverbs 4:23If you've been feeling stretched thin, this episode will help you come back to what truly matters.
The Two Minute Rule is one of the most popular productivity tips in the world. The idea comes from David Allen's Getting Things Done system and sounds simple: if a task takes less than two minutes, just do it immediately.In theory, it's a great way to prevent small tasks from piling up.But what happens when your entire day is already filled with two-minute tasks?In this episode of the Secrets of Supermom Show, Lori Oberbroeckling continues the series “What If You're Not the Problem: Productivity Systems Not Built for You (And How Moms Can Make Them Work)” by unpacking the Two Minute Rule and why it can quietly create more overwhelm for busy moms.When you're juggling work responsibilities, school communication, family logistics, and constant interruptions, your day can quickly become a stream of reactive two-minute tasks—leaving no time for the focused work you actually planned to do.In this episode, Lori explains:What the Two Minute Rule is and where it comes fromWhy the rule assumes your day is mostly focused work with only occasional interruptionsHow constant task switching can make moms feel even more scattered and overwhelmedA simple reframe called Two Minute Windows that helps protect your focus while still handling the small tasks that pop up throughout the dayBecause productivity systems aren't wrong—but many of them were designed for lives with predictable capacity, and motherhood runs on variable capacity.Want to Clean Up Your Calendar Too?If your schedule has been feeling overwhelming lately, join the Spring Clean Your Calendar Challenge.This free 4-day event helps you:step back from your scheduleclear calendar clutterbuild intentional breathing roomcreate a calendar that actually fits your lifeYou can join here:secretsofsupermom.com/springText us your feedback or questions!Stay connected!

Have you felt yourself revert back to a child in the way you react to your kids, or a particular situation?Watching from the sideline, Josh recently had a moment where his inner child wounds collided with the reality of the his son's experience on the soccer field. When we come face-to-face with the dissonance between the way we REACT, and the way we want to ACT, something deeper is often at play. Becoming mindful of those moments, and how we respond to them, influences what we pass onto our kids. In this episode, Josh & Christi talk about how to identify an unhealed inner child “part” of yourself, give examples of redeemed and unhealed epigenetic transmission, and provide a beautiful example of how Jesus meets us right where we are.

Becoming a mother is one of the most life-changing experiences a woman can have, but it can also feel overwhelming and lonely without the right support. In this episode, Shara sits down with East Texas doula Lauren Kinnett to talk about what doulas actually do and how they help women feel supported through both labor and the postpartum season. Lauren shares how her own postpartum struggles opened her eyes to the deep need for encouragement, education, and community for new mothers.Lauren explains that a doula is more than a birth coach. She is someone who provides emotional, physical, and spiritual support during labor. From guiding comfort techniques to praying with moms and helping partners feel confident in the delivery room, Lauren's goal is to make sure mothers feel heard, prepared, and empowered to make informed decisions during birth.After experiencing postpartum anxiety herself, Lauren felt called to help other women navigate the challenges that often follow bringing a baby home. She talks about the importance of community, why many mothers feel afraid to ask for help, and how simple support—whether through postpartum visits, conversations, or practical guidance—can make a powerful difference.Lauren also shares the story behind her mission, “Take the Reins,” inspired by a conversation with her grandfather and strengthened through her faith. Through prayer, personal growth, and life changes, she found her calling to serve women in one of the most vulnerable and beautiful seasons of their lives.Throughout the conversation, Lauren reflects on the powerful moments she witnesses in the delivery room and why every birth reminds her that this work is exactly where she is meant to be. Her passion for helping women feel confident, loved, and supported shines through every story she shares.In addition to her doula services, Lauren is helping build community for mothers in East Texas through local gatherings, birth preparation classes, and monthly mom walks. Her goal is simple but meaningful: to make sure no mother feels like she has to go through pregnancy, birth, or postpartum alone.To connect with Lauren, visit https://www.instagram.com/takethereins.wellnessWant to be a guest on Life Stories Podcast?

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, other moms seem closer to their kids than I am? As moms, we care deeply about our relationships with our kids. When they pull away, we can feel anxious, rejected, or even convinced we've done something wrong. And when they stay close, that can bring its own pressure and responsibility. In this episode, I unpack how both experiences—distance and closeness—can trigger the same internal struggle: learning the delicate balance between holding on and letting go. If you're parenting teens and find yourself overthinking your interactions, worrying about whether you're doing it right, or feeling the emotional weight of motherhood shifting as your kids grow more independent, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.
If you've been judged or find yourself judging others these days, let's talk! Jenny reveals what happens when we put law before love. And HOW to achieve the best balancing act. Let's love some people before we judge them. And let's teach our kids to do the same. In case the reminder to "love first" is raising your blood pressure, let's be clear. We are not asking people to dismiss God's important rules for life...only to lean into love. #Praying4MomsPodcast

What do you do when you hear your child's teacher maybe treating them unfairly — and you hate confrontation?

Hi mama, As I reached episode 300 of Mom Wife Career Life I found myself reflecting on the past three years of balancing corporate work, motherhood, and building this podcast. I'm proud to say that through job changes, stress, parenting, and life's ups and downs, I've never missed a week of releasing an episode. But hitting this milestone also brought an unexpected feeling… Disappointment. Because if I'm being honest, I thought life would look a little different by now. In this episode, I share the reality of the past year… including a health scare, anxiety, grief, tragedy in my community, and the emotional rollercoaster of preparing to send my oldest daughter to college. Through it all, my priorities have shifted. Right now they look like: Protecting my health • Being present with my family • Soaking up every moment of having all three of my kids under the same roof Because sometimes growth isn't loud. Sometimes it looks like rest… letting go of timelines… protecting your peace… and showing up for what matters most. If you've ever thought, “I thought I'd be further by now,” please know this: You're not behind. You're becoming.

If your daughter is constantly comparing herself to other athletes more than focusing on her own game, or losing confidence this is your episode! Have her take this quiz to find out your competitor style: elitecompetitor.com/athlete Comparison is one of the most common confidence killers in girl athletes. It feels normal. It even feels productive sometimes. But when her focus is on everyone else, she loses the one thing that actually moves the needle - her own game.

You soften your opinions so no one feels uncomfortable. You deflect compliments before they can land. You say yes when you mean no - and then spend twenty minutes explaining the no you finally gave. This episode is about the quiet, everyday ways women make themselves smaller. And what it looks like to gently, firmly stop.EPISODE DESCRIPTIONWhy the habits that make women great - being thoughtful, accommodating, considerate - can quietly become habits of self-erasureHow shrinking shows up in the smallest moments: compliments, limits, disagreements, and the sentences we say before we say what we actually meanThe particular loneliness of women in leadership who hold space for everyone and rarely have it held for themWhy over-explaining our boundaries is often not for other people at all, it's for usThree practical, small shifts you can begin using immediately: in how you receive appreciation, communicate limits, and speak your perspectiveA guided embodied practice to rehearse these shifts before the real moments arrive TUNE IN TO LEARNRecognize the specific moments and patterns where you quietly shrink without realizing itUnderstand why this is a conditioning pattern, not a confidence problemPractice responding to a compliment with just two words: thank youSet a clear limit without constructing a paragraph to justify itSpeak your perspective without a disclaimer attachedUse a short guided practice to build muscle memory around these new responses TAKEAWAY MESSAGEIf you have been told - by your culture, your upbringing, the rooms you've been in - that being visible, certain, or direct is somehow too much, that message was never true. It was just loud. This episode is about turning down that volume and practicing, in small and honest ways, what it actually feels like to take up the space you have always been allowed to take. Listen in, try the practice, and remember… you are always free to be mindful. REFERENCED LINKS1. WORK WITH VANESSA (NJ MOMS): Ready to go deeper?

What kind of mom risks her life to protect her family? A courageous one. In this episode of the Gather Moms Podcast, we continue our Bible Moms series with the unlikely story of Rahab — a woman with a messy past who makes one bold decision that changes her family's future forever. Her story (Joshua 2) unfolds as Israel prepares to enter the Promised Land. Two spies arrive in Jericho, and Rahab hides them when the king comes searching. She has heard what God has done — how He parted the Red Sea and delivered His people — and in a pivotal moment, she chooses Him. This isn't comfortable belief.It's costly faith. The spies tell her to hang a scarlet cord from her window as a sign. And just like the blood over the doorposts in Egypt, that red cord becomes a symbol of rescue. Her household is spared. And here's the twist: Rahab doesn't just survive. She becomes part of Jesus' family tree. Her story reminds us that you don't have to come from faith to leave a legacy of faith. This episode is for the mom who feels like the first one — the one choosing courage when it would be easier to blend in. You may not control the culture around you.But you can hang the cord. In this episode, we talk about: The third step of Bible study: application — what do I do with this? Why Rahab's faith mattered more than her past The meaning behind the scarlet cord How courageous obedience can change generations Scripture referenced: Joshua 2; Hebrews 11:31; James 2:25; Matthew 1 BIBLE STUDY PDF HERE: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18sOzZmck3V84Df2-Zx2s91WAStgSC3b9p2lTIewT8aY/edit?usp=sharing We're also so excited to partner with Sky Ranch Camps in Van, Texas.

Hey friend, Have you ever noticed that some weeks your sleep works and other weeks it completely falls apart? Do you ever wake up at 2 or 3 a.m. and wonder why your body suddenly won't settle? Have you asked yourself, “Why am I so tired all the time?” even when you're trying to take care of yourself? I'm Ashley — a mom living with chronic illness in a neurodivergent family. If you're dealing with constant fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and broken sleep while trying to keep up with your kids, you're not alone. This podcast is for chronic illness moms raising neurodivergent kids who want stress relief, better sleep, and simple, realistic habits to finally feel better in their bodies. Each episode shares nervous-system-friendly support to help you calm overwhelm, boost energy, and practice healthy habits that improve your symptoms — even in the middle of a full, demanding life. If you've ever felt like your sleep and energy change week to week, you're not imagining it. Women's hormones operate differently than men's. Men's hormones reset on a 24-hour clock, while women's hormones shift throughout a monthly cycle, which means your body's recovery needs can change week to week. In this episode, I explain why the second half of the cycle often leads to sleep disruption, fatigue, and energy crashes, especially for women already managing chronic illness, stress, or poor sleep. You'll learn what is actually happening in the body, why these weeks can feel harder, and how simple habits from the Power 9 framework can support your body's recovery.

The 12 Week Year is one of the most popular goal-setting systems in the productivity world. The idea is simple: instead of planning goals for an entire year, you treat 12 weeks like a full year so you can focus, create urgency, and make faster progress.In theory, it makes a lot of sense.You choose one or two big goals, create weekly action plans, track your execution, and measure your progress with a scorecard. The creators even recommend aiming for 85% execution each week to stay on track.But what happens when your weeks don't look the same?What happens when real life shows up with sick kids, school calls, travel, sports tournaments, work deadlines, and all the unpredictable moments that come with motherhood?In this episode of the Secrets of Supermom Show, Lori Oberbroeckling continues the series “What If You're Not the Problem: Productivity Systems Not Built for You (And How Moms Can Make Them Work)” by breaking down the popular 12 Week Year system.You'll learn:What the 12 Week Year actually is and how the system worksWhy the execution scorecard and weekly metrics can sometimes create pressure instead of motivationHow the assumption of consistent weeks can break down for busy momsPractical ways to adapt the system so it works with motherhood, not against itBecause the problem may not be you.It may be that the system was designed for lives with predictable capacity, while motherhood runs on variable capacity.And when you adapt these productivity tools to fit your real life, you can keep the parts that work—and let go of the parts that don't.Want some help with your own calendar?
