Podcasts about motherhood

You love the kids you've been called to care for. You're grateful most of the time. But sometimes your hidden feelings are still, well.... complicated. You may feel frustrated by how much is asked of you, lonely in the load you're carrying, jealous of other moms who seem to have it easier, or ashamed that motherhood doesn't always feel the way you thought it would. In this week's episode, Dr. Alison is joined by longtime friends, ministry leaders, and authors of the new book Moms on the Way, Kathy Tuan-MacLean and Tara Edelschick for an honest conversation about the complicated emotions moms are often afraid to admit out loud. Drawing from their research with more than 700 women, they explore why shame and resentment thrive in isolation—and what can happen when we finally bring those feelings into the light. You'll learn: *Why motherhood can become fertile ground for comparison and shame *What resentment is really telling you *How to discern between something that is simply hard and something that genuinely needs to change *How hidden shame and resentment can isolate you from yourself, others, and God *What to do when these hidden emotions creep in More Resources: Connect with Kathy and Tara here.

It was the beginning of a breakthrough.In this solo episode, I'm sharing the five things that helped me move from feeling lost and full of self-doubt to clearer, more confident and more fired up than I have in years.We'll explore how to stop overthinking, change the thoughts keeping you stuck, take small actions when you can't see the bigger picture, and use a simple future-self exercise to get clearer on what you actually want.

WonderCow is running a Labor Day Sale! Don't miss out and go this this link https://affiliates.wondercow.com/HORMONEGENIUS. We recently recorded an episode with Erica Diebersloot of Wonder Cow, who is three months postpartum with her fifth child. The conversation centered around her postpartum experience, breastfeeding, colostrum, nutrition, and practical strategies for managing motherhood and a large family. Erica shared that she has experienced a particularly smooth postpartum recovery, which she attributes in part to prioritizing a nutrient-dense diet, supplements such as beef liver, postnatal vitamins and colostrum, and making sleep a priority. She also discussed using gentle sleep-training strategies and shared that her baby began sleeping through the night around six weeks. A particularly interesting part of the conversation was our discussion about breastfeeding and the remarkable biological communication between mother and baby. Erica highlighted the feedback loop that occurs during breastfeeding, where a baby's latch and interaction with the breast can communicate information to the mother's body and help support the production of immune components and antibodies that meet the baby's needs. We also discussed why colostrum is often called "liquid gold," including its distinctive golden color and concentrated nutritional and immune-supportive properties. Erica noted that components of colostrum can continue to be present in breast milk even months postpartum. The conversation also included some practical and creative uses for breast milk that Erica has incorporated into family life. She shared using it topically for things such as diaper rash and poison oak, as well as using it as a natural facial cream. She has also added breast milk to smoothies for older children as an additional nutritional and immune-supportive boost. Motherhood, Large-Family Life & Practical Strategies Erica emphasized that one of the keys to managing motherhood is learning to be present while also accepting personal limitations. Rather than trying to do everything perfectly, she shared practical strategies that help make life with a large family more manageable. These included keeping pre-boiled eggs available for a quick source of protein, teaching older children how to prepare simple meals and take on more responsibility, and creating what she calls a "Breastfeeding Basket." The basket contains a rotating selection of special toys that are brought out specifically during breastfeeding sessions, giving toddlers something engaging to do while Mom feeds the baby. These practical conversations helped reinforce the broader message of the episode: supporting women during pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, and motherhood requires not only good nutrition but also realistic strategies that make healthy choices more sustainable within the demands of everyday family life.

What do you do when the path to motherhood keeps asking you to let go of the way you thought it would happen?I sit down with life coach and single mom by choice Victoria Kennedy to talk about her five-year journey to becoming a mother... a journey filled with difficult endings, unexpected pivots, heartbreaking losses, and ultimately, a deep trust in herself and the life she wanted to create.Victoria shares how she walked away from a seven-year toxic relationship at 34 and took the time she needed to rebuild herself before dating again. Motherhood was still something she deeply wanted, and when a later relationship came with an ultimatum — choose the relationship or keep pursuing fertility treatment — Victoria had to decide what she was and wasn't willing to give up.Victoria and I discuss:Choosing your desire for motherhood when a relationship asks you to give it upNavigating six IUIs, five IVF cycles, fertility setbacks, pregnancy loss, and an ectopic pregnancyMaking the emotional pivot to donor eggs and grieving the loss of a biological connectionSetting boundaries with well-meaning family and friends during fertility treatmentLetting go of the timeline you thought your life would followHow Victoria's experience led her to life coaching and helping women recognize "micro-self-abandonment"Developing the self-trust to make hard decisions without needing everyone else to understand themYour Next Steps:Learn more about Victoria Kennedy at https://www.victoriakennedy.studio/Connect with Victoria on Instagram at @VictoriaKennedy.studioSign Up for Community Groups: Connect with women on similar paths by signing up for upcoming groups at https://www.singlegreatestchoice.com/community-groups.Connect with me on Instagram: Follow @single_greatest_choice for daily inspiration and insights.Join the SGC Village: Become part of the community and stay up-to-date by joining our newsletter.

What if the rejection that broke your heart was actually protecting you and redirecting you toward something greater? On this episode of The Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda Mitchell sits down with powerhouse vocalist Pia Toscano for a conversation about faith, rejection, surrender, resilience and learning to trust the path you never planned. Pia first captured national attention as a frontrunner on Season 10 of American Idol. Her unexpected ninth-place elimination stunned viewers and judges alike and became one of the most talked-about eliminations in the show's history. But Pia's story didn't end when that door closed. She went on to tour with Jennifer Lopez, collaborate and perform with legendary producer David Foster, and become a frequent touring performer with world-renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli. Today, Pia has built a community of more than one million followers and is preparing to head back on tour with Bocelli. Now she's telling the story behind those unexpected turns through her deeply personal new single, "Redirected." Co-written with Stacey Kelleher, the song grew from a phrase Pia had repeated to herself for years: "Rejection is God's protection." Pia shares how she came to understand that closed doors, heartbreak and unanswered prayers weren't necessarily setbacks. Sometimes they were leading her somewhere she couldn't yet see. Linda and Pia also talk about surrendering control, looking back at the defining moments of her career, finding purpose in disappointment, and Pia's newest and perhaps most meaningful chapter yet: preparing to welcome her first baby in December. This conversation is for anyone who has ever wondered why something she desperately wanted didn't happen. Maybe you weren't rejected. Maybe you were redirected. IN THIS EPISODE Pia and Linda talk about the powerful story behind "Redirected," why Pia believes rejection can be God's protection, her shocking American Idol elimination, what came after Idol, touring with Jennifer Lopez, working with David Foster, performing around the world with Andrea Bocelli, surrendering the life you planned, trusting closed doors and unanswered prayers, preparing for motherhood, and finding the courage to believe there may be something greater ahead. Summary In this episode, Pia Toscano shares her inspiring journey from American Idol rejection to international success, emphasizing the importance of trust, surrender, and redirection in life and career. Discover how embracing setbacks can lead to unexpected opportunities and personal growth.   Key Topics Pia Toscano's journey from American Idol to international performer The role of rejection and redirection in personal growth The importance of trusting life's timing and surrendering control Balancing career ambitions with motherhood and personal joy Lessons learned from working with Jennifer Lopez and Andrea Bocelli Takeaways Rejection is often redirection and a sign of God's protection. Trusting the timing of your life can lead to unexpected opportunities. Surrendering control is key to discovering your true path. Maintaining faith and positivity helps overcome heartbreak and setbacks. Embracing change and new seasons brings joy and fulfillment.

Let us know with a quick text!Sheila Scott — author of "Miles of Motherhood" — joins Allison to talk about a running life that started with a grade-school one-mile fun run outside Rochester, New York, and never really stopped: cross-country coaches who preached "look at the foliage" and taught visualization before it was cool, stepping away from the sport and finding her way back, and raising two runners of her own (both now at Alabama — Roll Tide).She relives the mud that ate her shoe at a high-school race, the 2019 Marine Corps Marathon downpour, BQ hunting in Richmond, and why the race memories that stick are the people, not the times.Plus: the packing grid, race-morning jitters that never go away, cushy shoes, a Mountain Dew confession, negotiating with herself through hot Florida miles, and why she is saying yes to everything — including 29029 Everesting and, one day, Athens.Sheila Scott - https://www.facebook.com/sheila.scott.9041083Author of "Miles of Motherhood"https://us.amazon.com/Miles-Motherhood-Sheila-Scott/dp/B0G6JFMPPBRaces MentionedBoston MarathonRichmond MarathonMarine Corps MarathonNew York City MarathonChicago MarathonLondon MarathonTuscaloosa Half MarathonMother's Day 5K at Chestnut ParkHuntsville MarathonAthens Marathon29029 EverestingShout OutsCatherineWagner'sSupport the showFor more details on Run Your Story happenings, visit https://runyourstory.com/For web development, app development, or tech services, visit https://gaillardts.com/Go Run Your Story and take a piece of this story with you!

In this repost episode of The Village Podcast, host Nicole Trunfio sits down with actress and mother Rumer Willis to explore the deeply personal realities of her journey into parenthood. Rumer reflects on how becoming a mother to her daughter, immediately humbled her expectations, shifted her brain's protective instincts, and transformed her perspective on early childhood development.Together, they dive into alternative parenting practices, including co-sleeping, holistic remedies, and elimination communication, while discussing the importance of advocating for yourself during birth. Rumer opens up about her unmedicated home birth experience, the power of having a multi-generational lineage of women in the room, and practical advice for expectant mothers preparing their minds and bodies for delivery. Finally, the pair discuss their baby carrier collaboration and unpack the core philosophy behind its embroidered message: “All you seek lies within.”

Ava kicks off a two-part series on parenthood and motherhood, drawing on the Functional Spirituality framework to argue that the modern parenting struggle is an environmental failure, not a personal one. Our nervous systems and culture are imbalanced toward Yang (survival, speed, individualism) over Yin (safety, collaboration, community), and that imbalance has isolated motherhood into an overburdened, under-resourced role. She names this as the "best case scenario" — before factoring in trauma, disability, or loss. Part two covers how to navigate it.   Chapter markers 00:00 Welcome + introducing today's topic: parenthood and motherhood 02:16 Ava's unique position — breadwinner, not the "archetype" mother 05:47 The root cause: nature, survival, and the Yang-imbalanced culture 08:44 The Yin-Yang nervous system framework explained 11:22 Individualism vs. community — how it reshaped the family unit 14:44 The invisible labor and skill set nobody teaches parents 18:31 The best-case scenario vs. real added-on challenges 21:01 Closing thoughts & what's coming in part two   Increasing accessibility to functional healing + non-dual spiritual oneness: www.functionalspirituality.com   Free resources: Newsletter sign-up A monthly update for me on new offers and the energy of the month.   Free training - 3 part method of Functional Spirituality Learn the clear, practical framework for deep healing, emotional regulation, and spiritual integration.   Connect on Socials Where you can hear from us in daily life Personal account & Functional Spirituality: @functionalspirituality Studio: @spandaschool Lavandula Botanicals: @lavandula.botanicals

What connects a group of WWII veterans in Normandy with mums building businesses today?More than you might think!In this episode, I'm joined by Victoria Phipps, MBE, photographer and host of the Mum Means Business podcast, for a conversation about motherhood, ambition, entrepreneurship and belonging.Victoria has spent much of her life creating spaces where people feel connected and part of something. Before becoming a mum, Victoria spent 11 years working with WWII veterans, bringing them together in Normandy for the D-Day commemorations, and building a community around shared experiences. Those years taught her a lot about connection, purpose and finding your people.We explore how those lessons eventually found their way into her work with mothers building businesses, alongside the pressure to “have it all”, what happens when our old definition of success no longer fits, and why recognising our capacity and protecting our energy matters.You can fall into the trap of doing it all. And it can feel like having it all, but you're absolutely beside yourself, broken, exhausted, says Victoria.We also talk about something very close to Victoria's heart: why mothers deserve to be in the photographs too, and how printed photographs can become powerful reminders of identity, connection and belonging.

Wright sits down with author Bitsy Kemper to discuss her book, Mommy and Me Micro-Moments: Nurturing Faith and Sharing Laughs. Bitsy explains how her desire to help mothers recognize the importance of small moments with their children led her to create an interactive devotional designed around connection, laughter, prayer, Scripture, and faith. Bitsy emphasizes that mothers do not need to add another complicated responsibility to an already busy day. Instead, ordinary activities—tying a child's shoes, putting on a coat, opening a door, or simply making eye contact—can become meaningful opportunities to communicate love and strengthen the parent-child relationship. T.S. and Bitsy also explore the biblical significance of discipleship beginning in the home. Parents have an opportunity to establish a spiritual foundation while their children are young, preparing them to understand prayer, Scripture, faith, and what it means to follow Jesus.Bitsy's devotional is intentionally accessible even for parents who may not feel confident praying or teaching Scripture. Each entry provides a Bible verse, interactive conversation, shared prayer, and encouragement for the mother—requiring virtually no preparation beyond showing up and spending a few intentional minutes together.

Join The Circle and use code “PODCAST”: https://holplus.co/circle/ Your children do not just hear what you say. They can also sense your stress, anxiety, and emotional state. So how can parents regulate themselves before that stress spreads throughout the family?In this episode of hol+ with Dr. Taz MD, New York Times bestselling author Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt opens up about the anxiety and overwhelm that can come with modern motherhood. She explains how learning about co-regulation changed the way she responds to tantrums, meltdowns, running late, and other stressful parenting moments.Katherine shares how introducing meditation into her morning routine helped her feel calmer, become less reactive, and better handle whatever the day brings. She emphasizes that the solution will look different for every parent, whether it involves meditation, walking, exercising, asking for help, or simply creating a few quiet moments before the day begins.Dr. Taz and Katherine also discuss:• Why children often absorb and respond to their parents' stress • How regulating your own nervous system can help your children feel safer • Why today's parents may feel more anxious and overwhelmed • The importance of asking for help instead of trying to do everything alone • How grandparents can provide connection, support, and stability • Staying connected with your partner when traditional date nights are difficult • Why clear communication matters when dividing parenting responsibilities • Katherine's experience with postpartum anxiety during the pandemic • How Ayurvedic practices supported her postpartum recovery • Preparing older children and the wider family for a new babyKatherine also shares how she and her husband, Chris Pratt, navigate parenting as a team. Rather than expecting each other to instinctively know what is needed, they focus on honest communication, regular check-ins, and clearly asking for support.If parenting sometimes leaves you feeling overstimulated, anxious, or stretched beyond your limits, this conversation is a reminder that you do not need to be a perfect parent. Finding your own calm, accepting help, and reconnecting with the people around you can create a positive ripple effect throughout your family.About Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt:Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt is a New York Times bestselling author, animal advocate, and mother.

Feeling exhausted, anxious, depleted, or simply not like yourself isn't something you have to accept as the price of motherhood or getting older. Dr. Corina Dunlap has spent more than a decade helping women understand what's actually happening inside their bodies and why "this is just my new normal" deserves to be questioned. Cait and Dr. Dunlap unpack the hormones every woman should understand and how they shift through the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and beyond. They explore why support is a physiological need, not a luxury, the simple foundations that can make a meaningful difference in how women feel, and the three hormone personality types Dr. Dunlap sees repeatedly in her work: the Caretaker, Achiever, and Survivor. Key Takeaways • Why feeling worse after motherhood or as you age doesn't automatically have to become your "new normal" (10:57) • The five key hormones every woman should understand and how they influence energy, mood, sleep, strength, and more (19:35) • What actually happens to estrogen and progesterone throughout your cycle, pregnancy, and postpartum (28:20) • Why postpartum support, nourishment, sleep, and replenishment are physiological needs and not indulgences (32:36) • The Caretaker, Achiever, and Survivor hormone types and how each pattern can either support or deplete your health (42:48) About Dr. Corina Dunlap Dr. Corina Dunlap is a licensed naturopathic doctor, medical researcher, and leading expert in women's hormonal health.

This episode is going to challenge you in the best way. Kate and Rebecca sit down with Abbie Halberstadt — bestselling author, fitness instructor, homeschooling mama to ten kids including two sets of identical twins, and a Bible-believing Christian who desires to know God and make Him known. Abbie lives by a motto that has become a movement: hard is not the same thing as bad. And in this conversation she brings that message straight into the everyday wilderness of motherhood. From birth stories to biblical truth, from complaining to community, this episode is packed with the kind of honest, scripture-grounded wisdom that moms in every season need to hear. About Abbie: Abbie Halberstadt is a writer, fitness instructor, and homeschooling mother of ten children, including two sets of identical twins. She lives by the motto that “hard is not the same thing as bad” and loves encouraging women to dig deep in the everyday trials of motherhood for the treasures of joy and growth that are there in abundance. She, her husband Shaun, and their children live in the Piney Woods of East Texas. In This Episode: What it actually looks like to be open to however many kids the Lord has for you — and how Abbie ended up with ten Birth stories from a mom who has done it eight times including two sets of twins The trend on social media that prompted Abbie to write her first book M Is for Mama — a rebellion against mediocre motherhood Why hard is not the same thing as bad — and the scripture that backs it up The real difference between venting and complaining — and how to know which one you are doing Go to the throne before the phone — a phrase that will stick with you Why your children’s outcome is not your resume — and what the Bible actually promises about parenting What to do when you have a prodigal child and feel like God failed you Why your family is your first community — and how to stop stepping over it looking for something else The one thing that saved Abbie in motherhood — and why it might not be what you expect Abbie’s Books: M Is for Mama — A Rebellion Against Mediocre Motherhood Hard Is Not the Same Thing as Bad You Bet Your Stretch Marks Find Abbie at misformama.net and @abbiehallberstadt on Instagram Connect With Us: gathermoms.com | @gathermoms | Join our Patreon at gathermoms.com Gather Moms: Instagram | Twitter | Facebook Kate Henderson: Instagram | Facebook Rebecca Bradford: Instagram | Facebook

What if the reason you don't feel confident isn't that you lack ability, but because you've stopped noticing the evidence of how capable you really are?In this powerful Moment, Zoe is joined by confidence expert and UPFRONT founder Lauren Currie to explore why so many mothers struggle to recognise their value—and the simple weekly practice that can help rebuild confidence and quieten your inner critic.Lauren explains why confidence isn't something you either have or don't have. It's a skill that can be strengthened by gathering real evidence of your progress, achievements and abilities. This is known as the “progress principle”: recording the things you've done, learned and handled well so that self-doubt can't simply dismiss them.They also explore why this matters beyond paid work. Motherhood develops valuable skills, but mothers rarely receive recognition or positive feedback for them. By actively noticing how you have grown, from handling a difficult moment more calmly to managing situations that once overwhelmed you, you can begin to change the story you tell yourself about who you are and what you're capable of.Lauren also shares the simple ten-minute Friday ritual she uses to build confidence, recognise her progress and quieten the feeling that nothing she achieves is ever quite enough.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with TJ Marbois, founder of Tobiko, for a wide-ranging conversation that spans LLMs, data sovereignty, knowledge management tools like Obsidian, and Terence McKenna's ideas about an increasingly weird future. They explore how AI is simultaneously centralizing power through data control while decentralizing software development capabilities, allowing more people to build their own tools and escape big tech ecosystems. Drawing on his experience at Apple's special projects group (the team that built the iPod and later iPhones), TJ discusses his vision for personal AI assistants—what he calls the "R2-D2 belongs to you" principle—where advanced technology serves individuals rather than corporations. The conversation touches on everything from quantum encryption and local manufacturing with ESP32 microcontrollers to the economics of future society, biometric data unions, and why distributed trust matters more than ever as we approach what both describe as an increasingly strange technological inflection point.

The concept of R2D2 belonging to you represents a critical vision for the future of artificial intelligence and personal technology. When thinking about robots and AI assistants that follow us around and know everything about us, the question of ownership becomes paramount. These systems will know incredibly intimate details about our lives, from our health data to our daily habits, and if they are controlled by centralized corporations or governments rather than individuals, we lose fundamental sovereignty over our own information. The science fiction of Star Wars and Star Trek provides roadmaps for how we should think about these technologies, showing us both the positive possibilities and the warnings we need to heed about centralized control.2. Local AI models and distributed computing represent a pathway to technological sovereignty that is becoming increasingly viable. While large language models currently run primarily in centralized data centers, the technology is rapidly advancing toward a future where powerful models can run locally on personal computers and devices. This shift is crucial because it means individuals can have full control over their AI assistants without relying on API calls to external servers. Combined with open source infrastructure and open weight models, this creates the foundation for truly personal AI that cannot be controlled or monitored by external parties, whether corporations or governments.3. Data unions and collective data ownership offer an alternative model to current centralized data collection practices. Rather than having individual data harvested by large tech companies who profit from it, the concept of data unions suggests people could collectively pool their data for specific beneficial purposes while maintaining ownership and control. For example, in healthcare, millions of people could share anonymized biometric data to train medical AI systems that are incentivized to keep people healthy rather than treat them when sick, inverting the current insurance model to align incentives with actual health outcomes rather than profit from illness.4. The democratization of manufacturing and robotics through accessible technologies like ESP32 microcontrollers and local fabrication tools is creating new possibilities for distributed production. Just as desktop printers seemed impossible to early printers who controlled book production, we are approaching an era where individuals and small communities can manufacture sophisticated electronic devices and robots locally. This includes the ability to use language models to generate code for microcontrollers, order custom PCBs, and use desktop machines for component placement. While high quality manufacturing will still require larger operations, this gradiation of capability allows for much more local innovation and reduces dependence on centralized manufacturing.5. The concentration of power in technology, finance, and industry has reached levels that are unhealthy for both society and even for those who hold the power. When profit and control become too concentrated in the hands of a few entities, it creates a cancerous dynamic that threatens the stability of the entire system. History shows us warnings about the military industrial complex and other concentrated power structures, and now we are seeing similar patterns emerge in the tech industry. The solution requires building technology from the ground up that empowers individuals and communities, focusing on basics like food production, energy generation, and local manufacturing rather than increasing dependence on centralized systems.6. The provenance and quality of information is becoming a critical challenge as AI systems become more sophisticated and reality itself becomes harder to verify. We are rapidly approaching a point where video calls and digital interactions will be indistinguishable from AI generated fakes, which is why figures like Sam Altman have invested in systems like Worldcoin to verify human identity. However, this verification capability should not be centralized in the hands of single companies. End to end encryption and quantum encryption technologies need to be preserved and expanded to allow humans to communicate and verify information peer to peer without centralized intermediaries who could manipulate or control the flow of information.7. The future of human computer interaction is evolving toward sentient loop systems where machines have sensory input, real time learning, context understanding, and continuous operation in service of human needs. Self driving cars represent the first widespread consumer facing example of this architecture, with onboard computers that must function independently while occasionally connecting to networks. The critical question is whether these systems will be aligned to benefit their human users like a caring mother as AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton suggests, or whether they will be controlled by centralized powers. The technologists building these systems have a responsibility to be benevolent and build structures that serve humanity rather than concentrate power, helping to create a future more like Star Trek than Terminator.

Get a free 7-day trial of Minno using my promo code >>> RAD.CLICK HERE______When your autistic child suddenly starts using extreme language, explosive phrases, or emotional scripts that seem to come out of nowhere, there's a question worth asking before assuming the behavior itself is the whole problem:Where did they learn it?In our house, we discovered Graham wasn't just watching characters—he was learning from them. He was borrowing their words, tone, and emotional responses and applying those scripts to real-life situations. That realization eventually led us to make significant changes to what he was consuming.But something surprising happened: Graham didn't stop scripting when we changed his media. His scripts changed.In this episode, we're talking about why Christian parents raising autistic disciples need to pay attention not only to how much screen time our kids have, but to what is filling that time. We'll talk about scripting and echolalia, how media can provide language for emotions, what happened when we changed Graham's content, and why his tendency to retain and repeat language has actually become an incredible avenue for discipleship.You'll also walk away with a practical way to evaluate your child's media this week:Listen → Trace → Evaluate → Replace → ObserveListen for repeated phrases or emotional responses. Trace where they may have learned them. Evaluate the content—not simply for whether it's “appropriate,” but for what it teaches about anger, fear, conflict, authority, and relationships. Replace unhelpful inputs with better ones rather than simply removing screens. Then observe what begins showing up in everyday life.Because Romans 12:2's call to be “transformed by the renewing of your mind” applies to our families too. What repeatedly occupies our attention matters.The goal isn't to eliminate an autistic way of learning. If our kids are going to script, we have an opportunity to give them truth worth scripting.Scripture referenced: Romans 12:2; Proverbs 4:23; Luke 6:45; Philippians 4:8; Deuteronomy 6:6–7; Psalm 1One question to take with you: If my child is going to carry scripts into the world, what scripts am I helping put there?

Thanks for listening today, friends! Today we've got an inspirational episode with Jessica McBride on Motherhood, Belief & Becoming a Team Canada Ultrarunner.The core question we explore-what happens when you stop letting other people decide who you're allowed to become?Jessica was once the kid whose gym teacher made fun of the way she ran.Years later, after three kids, a huge identity shift, and one very important question later, she started running anyway. That question? Which things I believe about myself are actually someone else's property? We all know that moderation is overrated, so naturally, her first race was a marathon. Then came a 50-miler.Which landed her on the podium.Then a DNF that actually helped her understand what kind of runner she was.Then baby #4, the very real fear that her best athletic years might already be behind her……and eventually, Team Canada.

What happens when fast money starts costing you more than it gives you?India Woods joins Ash Cash inside the vault for an honest conversation about money, identity, motherhood, faith, entrepreneurship, and the real price of the lifestyle that first made her money.India opens up about graduating high school with a 4.5 GPA, becoming a dancer almost by accident, and quickly seeing the money go from a few hundred dollars to thousands. But behind the income came a side most people never see: five DUIs, a broken sleep schedule, time away from her children, postpartum depression, identity struggles, and the feeling that the club had become a trap.She also breaks down why leaving isn't as simple as “just stop” when dancing can bring in roughly $2,500-$5,000 a week and support not only you, but your family.The conversation then shifts to the next version of India: rebuilding her personal brand, landing a Savage Fenty opportunity, growing an audience of more than 100,000 followers, launching Pherfectly Balanced on Amazon, building a luxury vehicle fleet, learning investing, and finding ways to replace fast money with sustainable income.India also reveals that she has experienced having more than $100,000 and then less than $2,000, why she wishes she had saved more, and why her biggest goal now is not simply making money—it's creating peace, building businesses, helping other women, becoming a therapist, giving back, and eventually walking away from the club for good.This is a raw conversation about what happens when success, survival, faith, motherhood, money, and purpose all collide.Connect with India Woods:Instagram: @_indiawoodsssSearch “Pherfectly Balanced” on AmazonPherfectlyBalanced.comInside the Vault:@insidethevaultInsideTheVaultShow.comHost:@iamashcashIAmAshCash.comABUNDANCE IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT.Join Ash Cash and a community focused on building wealth, increasing income, strengthening your mindset, and creating a more abundant life:TheAbundanceCommunity.comTIMESTAMPS00:00 – Why India tells women not to start dancing01:18 – Ash Cash book CTA02:20 – Welcome to Inside the Vault03:51 – Who is India Woods?04:20 – Atlanta, heartbreak, postpartum depression & real estate06:14 – Graduating with a 4.5 GPA06:30 – How dancing started as a joke07:20 – When the money turned into thousands09:30 – Five DUIs and the hidden cost of the lifestyle11:01 – Why she tells women “don't do it”11:49 – “The club is a trap”12:52 – Spiritual warfare, faith and fast money14:07 – Church, independence and finding herself again16:00 – Drinking, memory loss and wanting a different life17:51 – Motherhood changed how she sees the club18:34 – The million-dollar brand she wants to build20:36 – Making $2,500-$5,000 a week dancing21:04 – 104K followers, TikTok and monetizing attention23:16 – Using ChatGPT to help launch on Amazon23:32 – Why consistency is everything23:45 – Landing the Savage Fenty opportunity24:24 – Rebranding from T Hollywood to India Woods27:24 – Would she let her daughters become dancers?28:37 – Getting fired from Louis Vuitton31:32 – Going back to school and hustling differently32:09 – Building Pherfectly Balanced34:31 – Corvettes, a Cybertruck and her fleet business37:32 – Investing, stocks and a $10K investment38:23 – Ash: “We've got to get you out the club”39:00 – “I'd leave the club tomorrow” for $10K-$20K a month44:49 – Postpartum depression, identity crisis and sharing the struggle45:15 – From over $100K to less than $2K46:03 – Her book, P-Valley and turning her story into content52:32 – Money is an amplifier55:36 – Faith, responsibility and giving herself grace58:46 – Why Ash believes Pherfectly Balanced can make millions59:42 – Therapy, nonprofit work and giving back1:00:10 – Choosing peace over chasing more money1:01:35 – Ash predicts India's multimillion-dollar comeback1:03:14 – Connect with India Woods1:03:50 – Closing the VaultAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

ADHD can go unnoticed for decades, especially in women who learn to compensate through perfectionism, overpreparing, and working under pressure. It often isn't until the demands of work, motherhood, or another major life transition become too much that the underlying struggle comes into view. In this episode, I sit down with ADHD counselor Jenna Free, author of The Simple Guide to ADHD Regulation, to explore what she calls the frantic-crash cycle. She explains how chronic fight-or-flight may intensify ADHD symptoms and why nervous system regulation can make other tools and strategies easier to use. You'll learn: Why women and high achievers can compensate for ADHD for decades before their usual coping strategies stop working How perfectionism, procrastination, and working under pressure can keep the frantic-crash cycle going The physical signs of nervous system dysregulation, including shallow breathing, muscle tension, and rushing even when there's no real urgency Why calming your body is only the first step in creating lasting change How you can move away from all-or-nothing behavior and build a more sustainable way of getting things done A diagnosis can help you understand how your brain works, but it doesn't have to define what's possible. By learning to recognize and regulate survival mode, you can create the conditions for your brain to work at its best.

Nikki & Brie are back side by side for a catch-up that goes from surprisingly deep to completely ridiculous in record time. The twins get real about independence, relationships, and why finding peace on your own can change what you're willing to accept from other people. But this is Nikki & Brie, so the conversation quickly spirals into viral Bobby pin experiments, Nikki's questionable online shopping, their kids telling wildly creative stories, Gen Z trading smartphones for flip phones, and a debate over teaching children to set boundaries. And just when Brie thinks she's safe, Nikki brings up that embarrassing story again. Press play for sisterhood, real talk, big laughs, and absolutely no shortage of TMI.
