As Brigitte made her way into the 1960s as a bona fide, worldwide celebrity, she found the experience was not especially to her liking. Where she had once strolled the streets of her beloved Saint-Tropez barefoot and happy, by the time she found herself pregnant and married for a second time, an army of photographers assembled outside of her home made her little more than a prisoner in her own life.

This week's episode is a chill, at-home catch-up - the kind where I'm processing life out loud and letting the conversation go where it wants to go. I share about my quick overnight trip to D.C. to join a lobbying mission, what it feels like to join these inspiring groups and go to the White House, and why asking ourselves "ok, what can I do?" has become a helpful antidote to all the overwhelm that comes with watching the news lately. I'm catching you guys up on what Sonny's been up to, including a dramatic moment where he made a sign that said "only Dad is allowed in", and talking about weekend plans that include line dancing. Plus a "Lately I've Been.." check-in: the cravings, the things I'm rethinking, what's making me laugh, and some products I've been loving lately. No big agenda, just day to day things and some honest reflections! This episode is brought to you by Amazon Pharmacy.

Parenting dynamics are complicated, to say the very least. Every mother and father will leave wounds on their children, no matter how carefully (or carelessly) they parent. Today I'm sitting down with Melanie Shankle, who was generous enough to share about the wounds left by her mother as well as the healing she's found in raising a daughter of her own. Through her bestselling books and hilarious podcast, Melanie has shared her life with us for nearly two decades—from the frivolous and fun stuff to the hard and the heavy stuff. Her most recent book, Here Be Dragons, was one of the best books I've read in the last year. In true Melanie fashion, this conversation about aging well, relating to young adult kids, and breaking generational cycles is as heavy as it is light. I think you'll enjoy every minute.Show Notes:What we mentioned:Here Be Dragons: Treading the Deep Waters of Motherhood, Mean Girls, and Generational Trauma by Melanie Shankle - https://a.co/d/0giagu3Sparkly Green Earrings: Catching the Light at Every Turn by Melanie Shankle - https://a.co/d/0TMFnLlSongs for the Anxious Heart - https://open.spotify.com/album/6mA22vsD5MvgUPCEPKgjBg?si=vHtRb743RuGHJQKLvAkK0w Scriptures we referenced:James 1:4Isaiah 61:32 Corinthians 1:4Where to find Melanie Shankle:The Big Boo Cast - https://pod.link/262921699@melanieshankle on InstagramAbout Hope Heals:For more messages of hope, free resources, and opportunities to connect with me: https://hopeheals.com/Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hopeheals/⁠Subscribe to The GoodHard Story Podcast!Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-hard-story-podcast/id1496882479Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/0OYz6G9Q2tNNVOX9YSdmFb?si=043bd6b10a664bebWant a little hope in your inbox? ⁠⁠Sign up for the Hope Note⁠⁠, a monthly digest of only the good stuff, like reflections from me and a curated roundup of the Internet's most redemptive content: http://eepurl.com/gGUnlfGet to know us:⁠⁠Hope Heals⁠⁠: https://hopeheals.com/spaces⁠⁠Hope Heals Camp⁠⁠: https://hopeheals.com/camp⁠⁠Mend Coffee⁠⁠: https://www.mendcoffee.com/Instagram⁠: https://www.instagram.com/hopeheals/

Are we living in the most anxious generation ever? In this powerful and hope-filled conversation, Max Lucado joins us to talk about anxiety, mental health, and the unseen struggles so many kids and teens are facing today—and what parents can do about it.With constant access to phones, social media, and nonstop information, anxiety often shows up sideways in our kids through anger, withdrawal, or fear. Max explains what's happening in the brain, why anxiety feels like an alarm that never shuts off, and how parents can become a soft place to land when emotions run high.We also talk about the importance of parents addressing anxiety in their own lives, how worry steals joy and peace, and why our presence (not perfection) is what God desires most. Max shares encouragement for praying parents, reminding us that Jesus never turned away a parent who asked for help for their child. Here is some of what we cover:  Why today's kids are facing unprecedented levels of anxiety The physical and emotional toll of chronic worry Why a parent's physical presence matters more than we realize Max Lucado's personal faith journey and what God taught him about presence over performance Connect with Max Lucado:  Instagram: Max Lucado (@maxlucado) Facebook: Max Lucado Website: Max Lucado Links Mentioned:   Calm Thoughts for Kids: 90 devotions for Anxious Days  Tame Your Thoughts: By Max Lucado Anxious for Nothing by Max Lucado Hermie Series–Buzby and the Grumble Bees **SIGN UP to Join Heather and Megan at Pro Love Saturday for Embrace Grace Related Episodes: Life Empowered by the Holy Spirit :: Max Lucado [Ep 381] You Are Never Alone :: Max Lucado [Ep 298] From Overwhelmed to Anchored: Replacing the Lies of Motherhood with God's Truth :: Erica Gwynn [Ep 544] Featured Sponsors:  Cove : Make protecting your home one of your New Year's resolutions!

In this episode, Gretchen tackles the myth of balance and the guilt that comes with trying to do it all. Motherhood, ambition, marriage, business, phones, boundaries, and the pressure to be everything, everywhere, all at once.She shares what's actually helped her survive and stay present, why quality matters more than quantity, and how mom guilt doesn't make you better, it just makes you smaller. Honest, reassuring, and deeply relatable, this episode is a reminder that ambition and caregiving don't compete, your nervous system sets the tone, and the most important person to stop being a dick to is yourself.

My close friend Christine came over on New Year's Day and we caught up on what's ahead. We talk about friendship, big life transitions, and the constant evolution we all experience.

“New year, new me” sounds great — until you're a tired mom just trying to survive car line and bedtime. In this Hey Whitney, Sarah and Whitney talk about what working on yourself really means when you're balancing motherhood, mental health, and the myth of self-improvement. From letting go of guilt to choosing rest over perfection, this is your reminder that growth can look soft, small, and real.

In this episode of Moms Talk Autism, we sit down with Sarah Kernion, a mom of three—including two autistic kids—to talk about the beautifully messy reality of motherhood. Sarah shares her honest experience navigating family dynamics, raising neurodiverse children, and learning (sometimes the hard way) why caregiver self-care is not optional. We talk flexibility in parenting, letting go of perfection, and the power of community support when things feel overwhelming. This conversation is a reminder that being present matters more than doing everything “right”—and that none of us are meant to do this alone. Come for the real talk, stay for the solidarity.

In this episode, I sit down with award winning journalist and author Jennifer Wallace, to talk about her new work on mattering—the need to feel seen, valued, and needed. We explore how mattering emerged as a powerful protective factor for kids growing up in high-pressure, achievement-driven environments, and why so many adults today feel lonely, disengaged, or untethered. Jennifer shares the SAID framework—feeling significant, appreciated, invested in, and depended on—and we talk about what this looks like in real life, at home, at work, and in our communities. This conversation is about practical, doable ways to help our kids (and ourselves) feel like we matter—without more pressure, perfection, or performance.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Culture keeps telling women to chase autonomy and call it freedom, but the bill always arrives: isolation, fragile bonds, and a quiet ache that career can't soothe. We sit down with scholar and author Carrie Gress to map the deeper story—how modern feminism operates like a shadow church with its own creed, sacrament, and evangelization, and why marriage and family have become the frontline of a spiritual battle many people can now feel in their bones.Carrie shares how Theology of Home helps women see ordered womanhood lived attractively, not argued abstractly, and why Gen Z's growing skepticism of old scripts is a bright sign of hope.If you're ready for a conversation that connects history, theology, and real life—and points toward a path where women and men both flourish—press play.Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can't Be Fused with Christianitytheologyofhome.comtheologyofhome.substack.comSubscribe, share this with a friend who needs a hopeful counter-narrative, and leave a review with one insight you'll put into practice this week.Email Jack: info@jp2renew.orgSupport the show

In this deeply honest episode of this Is bipolar, Shaley sits down with a guest Jess who shares her lived experience of being diagnosed with bipolar I after antidepressant-induced mania and psychosis in college — and what it took to rebuild a life of stability, work, love, and motherhood. Together, they unpack what psychosis and mania actually feel like in the body, how symptoms can be rooted in reality, and why bipolar disorder is better understood as a spectrum rather than a box. The conversation moves through medication missteps, the fear of hospitalization, suicidal ideation, and the long road to finding the right psychiatrist and treatment. They also dive deeply into parenthood with bipolar disorder — pregnancy decisions, staying on medication, sleep protection, guilt, support systems, and why putting your mental health first is putting your child first.

What if fertility and reproductive health were treated like skincare or mental health, something we talked about before it became a crisis?In this episode of AND/BOTH, Ashley sits down with Sam Diamond, co‑founder of Bird & Be, to talk about building a clinically‑backed fertility company in the middle of a global pandemic, and why proactive, inclusive fertility care matters more than ever.Sam shares the deeply personal experiences that shaped Bird & Be's mission, including miscarriage, fertility treatment, and the gaps she saw in education, access, and support for both women and men. Together, Ashley and Sam explore why fertility conversations are still too reactive, how male fertility remains stigmatized, and what it looks like to build a company rooted in science, ethics, and care.They also talk about:Launching a startup during COVID — and why at‑home testing was harder than expectedWhy male fertility must be part of every fertility conversationThe shift from “cute” branding to clarity as Bird & Be entered retailWhat it took to land Bird & Be in Ulta — and why placement matteredHow early education and testing can shorten or even prevent long fertility journeysWhy women are not “small men” — and how research still fails women's bodiesBlending motherhood and entrepreneurship without pretending it's balancedThis is a conversation about health, agency, science, and building systems that actually support people, not just sell to them.Connect with Sam: Bird&Be site: https://birdandbe.com/Connect with Ashley:Website: https://www.ashleyblackington.comPodcast website: https://www.andbothpodcast.com/Dovetail® App: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dovetail-app/id6744341822Instagram: @mydovetail.appLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleyblackington/

Join us at Wealthy as a Mother Bootcamp happening LIVE 1/19-1/22: https://themillionairemother.com/wealthy-as-a-mother Today's guest is taking us inside one of the most mysterious and powerful organs in the human body...the placenta. Dr. Sophia Johnson is one of the world's leading experts on the placenta-the temporary, intelligent organ that grows life, regulates hormones, and bridges mother and baby in ways science is still catching up to. For over a decade, she conducted research at the Placenta Lab at Jena University Hospital, where she studied placenta remedies through both a scientific and holistic lens. Dr. Sophia also shares insights from her book Placenta Power, including practical preparation protocols, postpartum nourishment recipes, and why every woman deserves access to information that allows her to make empowered choices about her body. This episode is a powerful invitation to reclaim postpartum wisdom, honor the intelligence of the female body, and challenge the systems that have dismissed women's lived experiences for centuries. Tune in to hear: What the placenta actually is and why it's essential to life, healing, and postpartum recovery Why placenta consumption (placentophagy) exists across cultures and why language around it matters How modern medicine has historically overlooked women's postpartum needs What Sophia discovered through laboratory analysis of placenta tissue, including hormones, trace elements, and microorganisms The connection between hormone withdrawal after birth and postpartum mood disorders Why many women report increased energy, improved mood, enhanced milk supply, and reduced bleeding after consuming their placenta The difference between raw, dehydrated, and steamed placenta preparations and how each impacts hormonal content How placenta remedies were historically used in both European and Chinese medicine The spiritual, energetic, and symbolic significance of the placenta as the "tree of life" Why informed consent and bodily sovereignty are central to postpartum care How women can choose what happens to their placenta (from encapsulation to burial to ritual) Connect with Sophia: Learn more about Sophia and her work: https://sophia-johnson.de/ Follow Sophia on Instagram: @dr_sophiajohnson_md Placenta Power

Register today for The FREE Busy Working Mom's Blueprint Summit** - January 19th-26th** Some of the hardest moments in motherhood aren't about our children at all. They're about parts of us that never felt fully safe, seen, or supported, and get awakened by the intensity of caregiving.   In this episode of Electric Ideas, Whitney sits down with inner child healing expert Lavinia Brown to explore why motherhood can stir up so much guilt, overwhelm, and reactivity, and why those responses often have roots far deeper than the present moment. What looks like irritation over a spilled drink or a standoff about screen time may actually reflect an old emotional pattern surfacing in a nervous system that's already stretched thin.   Together, Whitney and Lavinia examine how unhealed parts of ourselves can quietly shape our parenting, why adding more strategies without tending to our inner world often keeps us stuck in the same cycles, and what it means to meet ourselves with compassion instead of defaulting to self-criticism. They unpack how many of the behaviors that drain mothers today were once effective survival strategies in childhood, and how becoming a parent can reactivate them if we're not aware.   Lavinia explains why you don't need a single, obvious trauma for inner child work to matter, how triggers often signal unmet needs or unprocessed experiences, and why moments of rupture with our children don't define us. What matters most is repair: honest, regulated repair that teaches children big feelings don't break relationships and that connection can be restored.   The conversation also names the double standard many mothers carry around anger and emotional expression, explores why pushback from children isn't inherently a problem to fix, and offers grounded guidance for caring for yourself after a moment you wish had gone differently. It's a conversation about breaking cycles, nervous system awareness, and reclaiming motherhood as a space for growth rather than constant self-judgment.   Press play if you're ready to stop blaming yourself for the hard moments and start understanding what they're really pointing to.   In this episode, we explore: How inner child work shapes the way we show up as mothers Why you don't need a capital T trauma for this work to be meaningful Seeing our reactions as information rather than personal failure What to do after you react in a way you regret How to have a repair conversation that builds trust instead of shame The double standard around anger for moms versus dads Why pushback and defiance from kids can actually be healthy Reflection question to ponder: How old is the part of me that's feeling this way?   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   Connect with Lavinia: Instagram | Website | Facebook | Podcast: Becoming Untriggered

Allie sits down with both Bryce Crawford and Riley Gaines at AmericaFest 2025. Bryce, who boldly shares the gospel with everyone — from KKK members to furries, politicians to the homeless — reminds us that every soul needs Jesus. He opens up about his dramatic conversion at 17, when a supernatural encounter with Christ ended years of depression and suicidal thoughts. Bryce also shares how he went from timid “Jesus loves you” street evangelism to confidently proclaiming the full gospel and the lessons he's learned in five years of fearless outreach. Plus Allie has a special conversation with Riley, who just welcomed her baby girl — and how motherhood has intensified her fight for fairness in women's sports, shifted her worldview, and fueled her unapologetic courage. Raw testimonies, gospel urgency, and hope that no one is beyond redemption.
