Quick note: We announced the Tender and Fierce fall cohort. See show notes below. What's the first question we ask our kids in kindergarten? “What do you want to BE when you grow up?” We do our children a disservice by asking this question because the very nature of the phrase implies that what you DO is who you are. What about for ourselves as adults? What does it means to live in “fullness of life,” even when our circumstances might not match our heart's desire? Perhaps Teresa of Avila held a clue to this mystery when she said, “God is among the pots and the pans.” In this episode, Josh and Christi define what we mean by the word “purpose” and also identify other flaws of our modern cultural understanding of purpose and how it influences how we shepherd the hearts of our kids. One question to consider, “Is our understanding of purpose, especially when raising our children, filtered through a biblical lens?” In other words, who is God calling our children to “become?”Josh and Christi also discuss Christi's own “mid-life” crisis, the many layers of purpose, what the Bible tells us about meaning, and how we squelch our children's desire for purpose even in early childhood. Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction1:40 Welcome to our own mid-life crisis4:40 Tender & Fierce fall cohort announcement!5:40 Christi's mid-life crisis and rethinking what “purpose” really is13:00 The layers of purpose and helping our children find theirs20:00 Ecclesiastes and the discovery of meaning23:20 Finding “fullness of life” no matter your life circumstances or current occupation / role29:07 What keeps us from living in purpose33:00 What multiplication and expansion of our purpose actually means Show Notes: Reserve your seat for Tender & Fierce Fall Cohort beginning August 17, 2026: https://www.famousathome.com/offers/V75F6bY2 Looking for a marriage intensive with Famous at Home?

When motherhood feels hard, it's not because you're failing—it's because your brain is doing what it's wired to do. In this episode, I break down why it seems like your kids, your to-do list, and the demands of daily life are causing your stress, frustration, and overwhelm—and why that's not actually true. There's the circumstance, and then there's your brain interpreting it. When you understand that your thoughts create your feelings, everything starts to make more sense. This isn't about blaming yourself—it's about finally having a way to solve for how you feel so motherhood can feel lighter, calmer, and more intentional.       FREE Breaking Up With Overwhelm Private Podcast Subscribe   WORK WITH ME 1.Motherhood Mom On Purpose Membership Calm Minded Mom Bundle How I Stay Calm During Tantrums With 3 Under 5 (Mini Course)   2.

What makes a good mom? Is it adhering to the perfectly packaged image of a shiny, happy woman cooking lavish meals with her 2.5 children, always cleaning, never complaining, and never NOT grateful, doting, and happy? No – but that doesn't mean that the expectations are any more attainable. Any choice a mom makes is immediately subject to scrutiny or ridicule. Anything she does is under a microscope. She can't miss a beat. She can't wonder what her life might have been if she wasn't a mother. And she DEFINITELY can't do anything for herself.

About two or three months after my first son was born, I looked at my husband and said: "I literally cannot do my business and motherhood at the same time." I meant it. I was overwhelmed, so in love with this tiny human, and I genuinely just wanted to be a mom. I did not want to think about my business at all.That was almost five years ago. Since then, I've had three kids in four and a half years, never had full-time childcare, and I'm still running the same business I started a decade ago. And I have so much I want to say about what that journey has actually looked like.This is the final episode in my 10 Years of Business series, and I wanted to close it with the most honest conversation I could have: what it actually looks like to build a business through motherhood. Not a highlight reel, and not a "how I do it all" episode (because I truly do not do it all). Just the real stuff that I think too often goes unsaid.I cover four ways motherhood has genuinely changed my business, including one I did not expect, and close with three pieces of advice for moms who are in the thick of it right now. Whether you're pregnant, newly postpartum, or a few years in and still figuring it out, I think this one will really resonate.Links mentioned in this episode:Read the full shownotes: https://elizabethmccravy.com/334Find more episodes on motherhood: https://elizabethmccravy.com/category/personal/motherhood/They bloom because of you: https://www.instagram.com/p/DWAJjSakxM5/?img_index=2Booked Out Designer course: https://elizabethmccravy.com/bod Showit website builder: https://elizabethmccravy.com/showit Shop our Showit Website Templates: https://elizabethmccravy.com/shop    Sign up for the Podcast Success Blueprint: https://elizabethmccravy.com/psb   Want the insider scoop?

Not because we care more… but because we're carrying more. More information. More pressure. More comparison. And somewhere in all of that, many parents lose their confidence. In this episode, I'm sharing what changed for me after raising five children: - What I stopped worrying about - What actually matters - What I would do completely differently if I were starting again. Some of these shifts might surprise you. Some might feel like permission. But all of them are about helping you parent with more clarity, less anxiety, and a stronger sense of what truly matters.

Realigning with Self After Motherhood with Jihan J Season 2 of That Part begins with a simple but powerful shift. We asked Black women in our lives one question: If you could talk about anything on a podcast, what would it be? This episode is the first answer. Jihan returns and brings us into a conversation about realigning with self after motherhood. Not as a dramatic reinvention, but as an ongoing reckoning with identity, change, and what it means to come back to yourself after becoming everything to someone else. Verta and Naa explore the tension between devotion and disappearance, the unspoken expectations placed on Black women, and what it looks like to find yourself again after years of holding it all. From the emotional weight of being needed to the subtle ways we drift from ourselves over time, this conversation moves between the personal and the professional with honesty and care. Because motherhood changes you. But it should not erase you. Realignment is not about becoming someone new. It is about remembering who you have always been and who you are becoming. Season 2 brings new voices into the room while staying rooted in what That Part has always been. Real conversation. Cultural truth. And the things we don't always say out loud.

Beyoncé said it best - a diva IS the female version of a hustler. And this week, we're joined by a real-life empire-building diva: Tower 28 founder and CEO, mom of three, and beauty industry powerhouse, Amy Liu. We get into what it actually looks like to build a business while raising kids, being married, and trying to hold onto your identity as a woman who wants more. From launching her company at 40 to navigating motherhood and entrepreneurship at the same time, Amy breaks down the reality behind building a big life — and what it really takes to sustain it. We talk about why she doesn't believe in balance (and what to aim for instead), how she and her husband/CFO have stayed connected through it all and what it looks like to run a business with your partner. Plus, we get into dating, standards, and how to choose someone who genuinely supports your ambition - because marrying your equal has a lot less to do with money and everything to do with mindset.

What if the thing you're missing in your healing journey… is actually having fun? In this episode, I'm sharing a completely unplanned, real-life experience that turned into a major breakthrough for me. I realized just how much I've been craving joy, movement, and connection and how easy it is to lose that in motherhood or just the day-to-day routine. Ask yourself: what would feel FUN right now?

EP:187 Motherhood is beautiful, but it's also brutal — and you are not broken for finding it hard. In this episode of Thrive Like a Parent, I sit down with my dear friend Libby Ward, author of Honest Motherhood: On Losing My Mind and Finding Myself. From the very first page, I saw myself in her words, and I know you will too.   We talk openly about: What it really feels like to be overstimulated, resentful, and on the edge of rage as a mom Why motherhood isn't a time management issue, it's a capacity issue The moment Libby saw fear in her children's eyes and realized something had to change How chasing the undefined standard of a “good mom” keeps us burned out, dysregulated, and ashamed Why radical honesty about your actual life (your nervous system, support, money, partner, health) is the first step to feeling human again Letting go of being selfless and instead finally having a self Practical ways to lower your standards, say no, reclaim time, and build capacity so you can show up as the parent you want to be If you've ever thought, “Why is this so hard for me when everyone else seems fine?” or “I'm barely holding it together,” this conversation is for you. You'll walk away feeling seen, less alone, and with permission to stop hustling for some impossible version of “good mom” and start honoring your real, lived experience.

In this K+L solo, Lindsey + Krista explore the truth about identity shifts, the discomfort of being in-between versions of yourself, and why the most painful seasons are often the most transformative.  They dive into the illusion of “arrival” and why so many of us feel lost when life doesn't follow a predictable timeline. You'll hear powerful reflections on releasing old identities, navigating uncertainty, and how to trust yourself when nothing feels clear.  If you've been feeling stuck, disconnected, or like your life isn't reflecting who you're becoming… this episode will shift something in you. Because the truth is: you don't need a milestone to reinvent your life—you just need the courage to begin. We also talk about: Why life transitions feel harder outside of “expected” milestones The grief + liberation that coexist during major life changes Letting go of old timelines, relationships, and versions of yourself Why feeling your emotions is essential for real transformation Navigating breakups, divorce, and calling your energy back Motherhood as a massive identity shift + spiritual initiation The difference between soul desire vs. comparison-driven restlessness Why acceptance is the key to true personal growth Healing stuck emotions + how they keep you from moving forward Reparenting yourself + breaking generational emotional patterns Resources: Instagram: @lindseysimcik Instagram: @itskrista Website: https://itskrista.com/ Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Hero Bread | Hero Bread is offering 10% off your order.

ABOUT THE EPISODE:Maya Kruger grew up knowing, in a way children simply know things, that mothers die. Her own mother had lost her mother suddenly at 26, and the shadow of that loss shaped everything, including the fierce, almost desperate closeness Maya and her mother shared. She was so convinced that by leaving nothing unsaid, she could somehow protect what they had. Then, the evening after a morning hike together, her mother was killed in a car accident. Maya was 18, not yet fully formed, and suddenly on her own in a way she had spent her whole childhood bracing for and still could not have prepared for.What followed was not a clean grief. It was the kind that gets woven into everything, into the acting conservatory she attended in Tel Aviv, into the plays she wrote for the national theater, into a one-woman show called Hand Me Downs where she played her grandmother, her mother, and herself all at once. She got into Juilliard and could not go. She got into drama programs in the States and found herself, over and over, cast as other people's mothers, which she describes as both a wound and a doorway. It was not until she was sitting alone for three days on an Outward Bound solo in the Utah desert, nine crackers a day and a whistle around her neck, that something cracked open.She is now a psychotherapist, trauma specialist, and founder of Overture Therapy in New York, where she works with anxious moms navigating the ways that a child's crisis can bring every old wound roaring back to the surface.This conversation goes somewhere I was not entirely prepared for. Maya reframes anxiety in a way that stopped me cold, and she has a way of talking about the guilt and shame that lives in a mother's body when her child is struggling that made me feel genuinely seen. She says something about what anxiety is actually asking for that I keep returning to.If you have ever felt like your child's struggle has cracked open something in you that you did not know was still there, this one is for you.You'll learn:Why Maya grew up believing mothers disappear, and what she tried to do about itWhat maladaptive behavior actually is, and why context changes everythingThe reframe she offers for anxiety that makes it something other than the enemyWhat she means by parking next to yourself, and why it is so hard to doThe message an anxious mom is actually passing to her kids, and how to change itEPISODE RESOURCES:Free, 15-minute consultation with Overture TherapyOverture Therapy websiteHear Brenda Zane on Maya's podcast, “How Did You Get Here?” episode 22This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn 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.

As parents, we often live in the immediate - here and now.  But an important part of being a parent is creating goals for our children.  In this episode I discuss three important points (and a bonus point!) for why creating goals for our children is so important in raising them.  For more help in raising children, check out my free resources here:  https://janetquinlan.com/parenting-resources/Check out my free resources on marriage, parenting, home management, and faith life/mindset at janetquinlan.comFollow me on Instagram @janetquinlancoaching

Ever feel like you're constantly rushing through life, but not actually feeling present in it? In this mini jolt, Whitney shares reflections from a recent family trip to Kenya and Tanzania, and the lessons it sparked around energy, pace, and how we move through motherhood. From early morning safaris to watching animals in the wild, this experience shifted the way she thinks about how we spend our time and attention.   Whitney breaks down two simple but powerful takeaways: why being more selective with your energy matters (especially as a mom), and how embracing a "pole pole" (slower slower) pace can help you feel more grounded in your everyday life.   If you've been feeling stretched thin, constantly in go-mode, or a little disconnected from yourself, this is a gentle reset. Press play to start moving through your days with a little more intention and a lot more ease.   Here's what you can look forward to in this episode: My family trip to Africa and the lessons learned while there How to become more intentional with your time The meaning of "pole pole" and how it applies to motherhood Choosing the energy you want to embody in this season of life Reflection question to ponder:  What energy do I want to embody in this hopeful season of spring, and what pace would support that?   Learn more about 1:1 coaching with Whitney - book a 15-minute Spark Session   Connect with Whitney: Instagram l Website l 5 Days to Less Stress, More Satisfaction l Tend to Your Soul Toolkit l 10 Soulful Journaling Prompts | Electric Ideas Podcast

What does it really feel like to move abroad, start a family, and build a life in a new culture?

This week we are joined by podcasting royalty, Sophie Habboo! Habboo found fame on Made In Chelsea, E4's structured-reality show following the lives of affluent 20-something Londoners where she met fellow cast-mate Jamie Laing in 2017. The two began dating - and then launched a media empire. Their podcast, NearlyWeds was an instant hit and was rebranded as NewlyWeds when they got married in 2023. Habboo now runs the hugely successful JamPot podcast production company with her husband and the two served as executive producers on Raising Chelsea, a new three-part Disney+ documentary following the couple as they face the messy, scary and comic reality of becoming parents for the first time. In this episode Sophie talks openly about her feelings of overwhelm and anxiety in the run up to their wedding, her ADHD diagnosis, the challenges of being a new mum and the importance of setting boundaries. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 03:50 Family Roots And Motherhood 06:39 Ziggy Bay And Marathon Madness 08:35 Failure One: No Boundaries 10:23 One Day Office Job Disaster 16:01 Wedding Overwhelm And ADHD 20:52 Insecurities and Social Situations 21:53 Anxiety and Imposter Feelings 23:05 Therapy and Psychic Rituals 24:18 Sponsor Break The Testaments 26:12 Motherhood and Fear of Failing 29:36 Love Story With Jamie 33:54 A Surprise Voice Note

For the 254th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes writer, journalist, and professor Mallary Tenore Tarpley. Mallary is the author of Slip: Life in the Middle of Eating Disorder Recovery, and her work reframes recovery not as a clean, finished destination, but as a messy, ongoing “middle place” where progress and setbacks coexist. In this episode, we talk about how grief, control, and perfectionism shaped her eating disorder after losing her mother at a young age, what treatment actually looks like behind the scenes, the concept of normative discontent (the cultural reality that most of us struggle with our bodies), how slips can become opportunities for growth instead of shame spirals, and how she talks to her kids about food, bodies, and emotions in a way that breaks generational cycles. Plus, we dive into the complexities of pregnancy and postpartum recovery with an eating disorder history.

Motherhood is often framed as either losing yourself… or finally finding yourself. But what if it's something more complex than that? Today on Motherish, we're joined by Latin GRAMMY–nominated artist and mom Paula Arenas to talk about identity, evolution and what it really means to grow through motherhood. We explore the idea that becoming a mother doesn't erase who you were, but instead expands you into multiple versions of yourself all at once. From creativity and career to personal transformation, this conversation is an honest look at holding onto who you've been while stepping into who you're becoming.

Hi! We're fresh off Spring Break over here. I'm sitting down solo to recap the whole trip with the family - all the pretty places we went, the hours we drove, and the sweet nostalgia of The Cheesecake Factory. I'm feeling relieved to be home and sink back into a routine, and this is a good ol' honest check-in about where I'm at. Everything feels messy in the way that life does when you return from a long trip, so I'm talking myself through living with mental and physical clutter, starting vs. finishing, and why trying to "reset everything" never really works for me. Instead, I'm trying to focus on letting simpler, smaller things land. Nothing groundbreaking, just a real in-the-moment check-in if you've been feeling a little scattered too.

In this bonus episode, I'm sitting in the in-between—just days away from meeting our baby girl. I'm reflecting on everything it took to get here: the losses, the healing, the growth, and the love that carried us through. From preparing for induction to making peace within my marriage, I'm sharing what this moment really feels like—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Being a new mom is beautiful and messy and sometimes completely overwhelming. In this episode, I'm getting real about the mental side of early motherhood. From the fear of driving Cai alone for the first time to pulling over on the side of the road in downtown Austin while he screamed, I'm sharing the moments that knocked my confidence and the small wins that slowly built it back up. I talk about the pressure I put on myself to get out of the house, the guilt I feel when I take time for myself, and how hard it is not to compare my experience to what I see other moms doing on social media. I also open up about the resentment I didn't expect to feel toward Greg, the biological differences that hit you like a truck postpartum, and why I had to learn to accept that our roles just aren't the same. We're also diving into the little things that are helping me feel more like myself again, working out three times a week, going to baby music class, saying yes to outings even when they scare me, and reminding myself that every rep counts. I answer your questions about formula, sleep routines, guilt, and how I'm handling Cai's fussy moments without losing my mind. This episode is honest, unfiltered, and full of the stuff I wish someone had told me before becoming a mom. If you're postpartum, struggling, or just trying to find your footing in this new identity, I hope this episode reminds you that you're not alone and that it's okay to still be figuring it all out. _____ Leave Me a Message click here!
