In this conversation, Laurisa Paul shares a deeply personal journey of coming to know Heavenly Mother through transformative experiences in her own body. After struggling with body image issues for years, she had a life-changing, unmedicated birth that awakened her to the sacred power and divine nature of her body. This experience led her to explore and honor the Divine Feminine, heal her relationship with herself, and ultimately create Girls Who Know®—an organization that empowers teen girls to understand, love, and trust their bodies. Guided by a sense of spiritual purpose, she now helps girls recognize their inherent strength, creative power, and the sacredness of being female.https://www.girlswhoknow.com/Chapters00:00 Introduction to Larisa Paul and Her Journey01:37 Discovering the Divine Feminine04:42 The Impact of Motherhood on Self-Discovery08:06 Founding Girls Who Know10:24 Transformative Effects of the Organization12:57 Empowering Young Girls Through Education14:04 The Structure and Impact of Classes18:33 Personal Growth Through Teaching21:23 Messages of Empowerment for Girls25:01 Connecting and Building Community

From clingy kids to bedtime bear hugs that last twenty minutes, Jill and Linda get real about what it's like to never be alone as a mom. This episode dives into the exhaustion of constant “mom, mom, mom” moments, the guilt that comes with needing space, and the messy balance between sacrifice and self-care. With stories of tired kids, sticky floors, and Alexa bedtime reminders, this is a reminder that self-care doesn't always mean solo time, it can also be woven into everyday family life.In this episode, you'll hear:The highs and lows of motherhood, from sweet milestones to total exhaustionWhy being “always needed” can lead to resentment (and why that's okay to admit)The struggle of bedtime routines when kids crave extra connectionHow small shifts - like shoe practice or Alexa reminders - can ease daily stressWhy self-care doesn't have to be solo, and how kids can be part of itCreative ways Jill and Linda are experimenting with self-care (hello, popsicle sticks!)The importance of reframing this stage of motherhood as a season, not forever Motherhood often means you're never truly alone, and that can feel both beautiful and overwhelming. The trick isn't to chase perfection, but to find small ways to breathe, involve your kids in self-care, and remember this is just a season. You're not alone in feeling pulled in every direction, we're right there with you. Until next week, we hope you can unstuck your muck!

Physician coach and medical school professor Kathleen Muldoon discusses her article, "How motherhood reshaped my identity as a scientist and teacher." She explores what it means to be a "mother scholar" in academic and medical cultures that reward detachment and often view caregiving as a distraction. Drawing from her experience parenting a disabled child with congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV), Kathleen explains how she was forced to bridge the gap between siloed clinical expertise and her son's lived reality. This journey reshaped her identity, teaching her to see the whole person, to value presence over performance, and to embrace the vulnerability of saying "I don't know." She argues that caregiving is not a liability but a profound lens that enhances her work, and makes a powerful call for medicine to realign with humanity by allowing practitioners to bring their full, authentic selves to the work of healing.

This week on the podcast, we sit down with the beautiful Kelly Zajfen, mama to twins George and Lily. Kelly takes us back to those raw early days of postpartum life with two newborns, sharing how she balanced a tight schedule with leaning on support, and how normal it is to feel lost in that early fog. She also opens up about navigating the unimaginable sudden loss of her son George in 2022, the “landmines” of everyday life, the burn book she keeps, and the grace she extends to well-meaning but sometimes off-the-mark comments. We talk about George's way in the world, his beautiful outlook on life, his inherent kindness and light, and how she keeps his spirit alive within their family. We also explore the connection she still feels to him on the other side, the catharsis she has found in her incredible online community, her work with Alliance of Moms, and her conscious choice to seek moments of happiness and meaning every single day as she shows up for her daughter Lily Resource links: allianceofmoms.org atomicmoms.com Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe - by Laura Lynne Jackson The George Zajfen Tournament Follow Kelly on IG: @_heartmom_ This episode is proudly sponsored by Branch Basics!

In this episode, I had the opportunity to sit down with Marylu, a remarkable HR leader in the ag industry whose story is deeply rooted in resilience, compassion, and advocacy. Her journey began with a powerful influence—her mother, one of the first women to rise into a leadership role in ag in the 90s. That example of professionalism and quiet strength laid the foundation for Marylu's own leadership approach today.Our conversation was a rich reflection on what it means to lead with empathy in an industry often driven by compliance and regulations. Marylu opened up about the joy she finds in training and empowering her teams, how she navigates the fine balance between policy and humanity, and how field visits give her direct insight into employee challenges. She shared the emotional weight of HR work—listening to workers' personal stories, addressing their fears around immigration, and helping them navigate mental health stressors, especially in the aftermath of COVID.What really stood out to me was her emphasis on connection. Marylu believes in treating employees not just as workers, but as people with unique experiences. She finds fulfillment in seeing them grow and succeed, and she brings that same care into her leadership with her own team.She also spoke about her transformation through the Women Ag Leadership Academy, how it helped her find her voice, overcome self-doubt, and step confidently into visible leadership. Her closing message—especially for our Spanish-speaking audience—was a beautiful reminder: don't be afraid to ask for help, use the resources available, and most importantly, don't forget about yourself while you're taking care of everyone else.Marylu is exactly the kind of leader our industry needs—grounded, authentic, and deeply committed to both people and progress. I'm proud to serve alongside her on the United Ag board and to continue building this movement for empathetic, inclusive leadership together.Marylu Ramirez: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marylu-ramirez-57134142/Good Farms: https://goodfarms.com/Kirti Mutatkar, President and CEO of UnitedAg. Reach me at kmutatkar@unitedag.org, www.linkedin.com/in/kirtimutatkarUnitedAg website - www.unitedag.orgUnitedAg Health and Wellness Centers - https://www.unitedag.org/health-benefits/united-agricultural-benefit-trust/health-centers/Episode Contributors - Marylu Ramirez, Kirti Mutatkar, Dave Visaya, Rhianna MaciasThe episode is also sponsored by Brent Eastman Insurance Services Inc. - https://brenteastman.comBlue Shield of California - https://www.blueshieldca.comElite Medical - https://www.elitecorpmed.comGallagher - https://www.ajg.com/SAIN Medical https://sainmedical.com/MDI Network - https://www.mdinetworx.com/about-us

For many Latter-day Saint women, a faith journey begins as their personal experiences pile up and dots begin to connect. Abby Maxwell Hansen began to see a thread of internalized misogyny in her own story emerge like this: “Every time I went to church, I had some type of message—whether it was really overt or whether it was just sitting down at conference, and they didn't come out and say women's voices aren't as important, but all the speakers were men except for two. So whether it was implied or overtly stated, I got the message over and over that women are not as important as men.” In Episode 228, Abby joins Cynthia and Susan to share some of the experiences that shaped her church life beginning in childhood, and continue to inform her journey now.

This episode is one of the most heart-wrenching and important conversations I've ever recorded. Our guest Paige bravely shares her lifelong battle with eczema, her experience with topical steroid withdrawal, and the unimaginable trauma of having CPS show up at her door - just two days before her due date with her second child because she didn't want to follow a dermatologist's orders of using steroids on her son. What unfolds is not only a story of a mother's deep intuition and unwavering advocacy, but also a powerful example of how our medical system fails to ask why and instead pressures families into cycles of suppression. Paige's story will shake you, open your eyes, and most of all, give you hope. If you've ever doubted your gut, felt dismissed by doctors, or questioned everything in pursuit of your or your child's healing - this one is for you.Thanks for listening!

In this raw, after-the-show moment, Meryl Kennedy opens up like never before. Over champagne and cookies, she joins Laurette Rondenet to talk about love, leadership, and the real-life chaos behind building a legacy.From meeting her husband on a bridge in Monroe to running multiple businesses while raising three kids, Meryl shares the deeply personal side of her story. She reflects on the vulnerability of motherhood, the courage it took to hire a CEO, and the unexpected clarity her youngest daughter brought into her life. This is a heartfelt conversation about balance, intuition, and learning to let go. In this conversation, you'll discover:•The love story that started on a Louisiana bridge•Why hiring help saved her marriage—and her business•How motherhood reshaped her priorities and leadership style•What it means to lead with gut instinct in times of crisis•Why female leaders need to support one another with grace, not judgment•How letting go is sometimes the smartest move you can makeMeryl's story is a reminder that owning your legacy isn't always about building more—it's about aligning with what matters most.

“It took me 12 years to write it and get it to a publisher… writing a book was a lot harder than an Ironman.” In this heartfelt episode of Uncorking a Story, I sit down with Betsy Armstrong—writer, mom, athlete, and philanthropist—to explore the winding path that led her to authorship. From losing her mother at 23, to navigating midlife, infertility, and ultimately adopting two children from Russia, Betsy's story is one of resilience, reinvention, and radical love. Her memoir, The Mother of All Decisions, dives into the legacy of mother loss and the power of choosing motherhood in her late 40s. Whether you're grieving, writing your way through pain, or redefining your life at midlife, this conversation will move and motivate you. Key Takeaways: Grief can be a catalyst for personal transformation—if we're brave enough to face it. Writing is not just creative expression; it's a powerful tool for healing. Adopting at midlife brought unexpected challenges—and immeasurable joy. It's never too late to become the person you're meant to be.
