Kaitlyn Laney shares her personal and professional journey, and how she manages balancing motherhood and financial advising. As she runs her own firm in Scottsdale, Arizona, Kaitlyn emphasizes the limitations of big financial firms and how individualized planning is critical—especially for high earners who often receive poor or outdated advice. Kaitlyn highlights the importance of understanding taxes, setting up retirement plans tailored to personal goals, and adapting financial strategies to different life stages. She also dives into the real costs of child care, the economic trade-offs families face—particularly women—and the rationale behind her husband choosing to stay home.  We discuss... Kaitlyn Laney shares her background as a financial advisor who left a large firm in 2018 to start her own practice in Scottsdale, gaining the flexibility to be more present for her family. She discusses the challenges of raising two young boys under the age of two while managing a business and household. Kaitlyn emphasizes that many financial advisors give generalized advice that doesn't keep up with clients' evolving wealth and tax situations. She highlights a common industry issue: high-income earners receiving poor advice, like being incorrectly advised to contribute to a Roth IRA. Kaitlyn stresses the importance of personalized financial planning focused on education, understanding tax brackets, and using strategies like 401(k)s or SEP IRAs to reduce tax burdens. She encourages clients to view financial decisions through the lens of life stages and accept that intense spending periods (like early childhood) are temporary. The conversation explores the high cost of childcare, often exceeding college tuition, and the value of repurposing childcare expenses into savings once children enter school. Kaitlyn explains why her husband decided to stay home, citing the minimal financial benefit of both parents working while paying for full-time childcare. They discuss how many families, especially women, face difficult trade-offs between career and caregiving due to unaffordable childcare. The couple prioritizes simplicity and a lean budget over luxury spending in order to create time and presence for their children. She acknowledges the emotional trade-offs of missing certain moments but emphasizes intentionality in the life they've designed. Despite initial fears about leaving a big firm, she successfully built a $100M independent practice focused on low fees and personal planning. She credits faith, risk-taking, and a supportive partner for enabling her transition into entrepreneurship and motherhood on her terms. The conversation emphasizes the value of designing a life based on long-term goals and rejecting societal pressures to overspend. Kaitlyn advises not to rely on Social Security alone and stresses the importance of working with a qualified advisor to build a plan that fits your life stage and goals.

In this episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, we're talking about something that doesn't get enough space in healing conversations: ✨ What it really means to choose yourself — in the middle of the mess. Motherhood, healing, and life can feel like a swirl of demands. And in that chaos, so many women lose the one thing that keeps them grounded — their own voice, needs, and nervous system. If you've ever felt like there's no space for you… this is the episode that gives you space back. You'll Learn:

Episode #127. This week, I'm joined by the multi-talented Amy Wilson—writer, actor, and co-host of the hit podcast What Fresh Hell. We talk about the invisible weight of being the “helpful one,” the push-pull of people-pleasing, and why creativity can't live in the leftovers of our time. Amy shares the real story behind her new book Happy to Help—a funny, thoughtful collection of essays for anyone who's ever stayed too long, tried too hard, or ignored their own needs. We dive into what happens when we try to fix everything—until we can't. We talk boundaries, burnout, and the power of giving yourself permission to write messy, live messy, and be okay with not having it all figured out. If you've been waiting for permission to make space for your creativity, your joy, and your voice—this is it. Take a walk, grab a puzzle, and let this conversation remind you: your time matters too.

When it comes to navigating fitness during pregnancy and beyond, finding the right guidance can make all the difference. In this eye-opening conversation, we sit down with CrossFit coach Crystal Thompson who shares her unique journey from competitive athlete to prenatal and postpartum fitness specialist.Crystal reveals how she maintained her training throughout two healthy pregnancies and offers practical insights that go far beyond the typical "listen to your body" advice. She breaks down the science of diaphragmatic breathing and explains how proper breathing techniques can preserve core strength and pelvic floor function during pregnancy. "What you want to think about during pregnancy is preserving what you currently have," Crystal explains, offering a refreshing perspective on realistic fitness goals during this season of life.The discussion takes us deep into topics rarely covered elsewhere – from the mechanics of diastasis recti (abdominal separation) to the hormonal rollercoaster of postpartum recovery. Crystal doesn't shy away from sharing her personal experiences, including the emotional challenges of dividing attention between a newborn and toddler, and how her relationship with fitness evolved after giving birth.What makes this episode particularly valuable is Crystal's dual expertise – both as a certified Pregnancy and Postpartum Athleticism coach and as someone who's lived through the experience herself. She demystifies common misconceptions about training during pregnancy, explains why postpartum guidance is arguably more important than prenatal advice, and offers practical tips for maintaining strength through all stages of motherhood.Whether you're currently pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or supporting someone who is, this episode delivers honest, evidence-based information that empowers women to approach fitness with confidence during one of life's most transformative journeys.

Hey Sisters! In today's raw and real podcast episode, we're diving deep into the true essence of motherhood - not the perfectly curated Instagram version, but the messy, beautiful, challenging reality of raising children while maintaining your faith and sanity. This summer has been intense for me personally. Between recovering from surgery, moving to a new town, and managing multiple kid appointments, I've been feeling the weight of motherhood more than ever. But here's the truth: you're not alone, and you're definitely not failing. I want to remind you that motherhood is a spiritual calling, not just a daily task. Scripture tells us children are a heritage from the Lord, and every moment - even the chaotic ones - matters. We explored the powerful stories of Lois and Eunice, Timothy's grandmother and mother, who shaped a key church leader through their quiet, consistent faith. Key takeaways: Motherhood isn't about perfection, but about consistently showing up Your faith matters more than your Instagram-worthy moments God sees you and is strengthening you, even when you feel exhausted I shared some personal strategies for maintaining spiritual health: inviting God into every moment, being honest with my kids about my limitations, and creating space for myself. I'm also doing a 30-day social media detox to help me stay focused and present. Journal prompts to help you reflect: How do you see motherhood as a spiritual calling? What does parenting with eternity in mind look like for you? How is your faith showing up in daily mom life? Remember, you are doing important Kingdom work. Those seeds you're planting? They matter more than you know. Praying for you always, Michelle P.S. Need support? Email me at michelle@setfreesisterhood.com. You're not alone in this journey.

Today we're joined by Jennie Monness: early childhood educator, entrepreneur, podcast host, and founder of Union Square Play and Charmspring, for a raw and refreshing conversation about modern motherhood. Jennie opens up about her journey as a recovering perfectionist: how she's learned to let go, embrace her imperfections, and offer herself the same grace she hopes to model for her kids. We dive into the importance of routines (and when to let go of them), how to navigate public meltdowns, and what it really means to parent with intention vs. not pressure.This episode is full of bite-sized wisdom: from why simply asking your child ‘why' can be a game-changer, to what she learned about socialization while parenting during COVID, to why it might be time to stop emphasizing “sharing” with toddlers. Jennie offers grounded, actionable advice that will leave every mom feeling seen, supported, and just a little more confident in doing things her way.Instagram: @wearemorethanmomsPatreon: More Than Moms Guides & Resources Join our IRL LA communitySubscribe to our NewsletterProduced by Peoples Media Hosted on Acast.

This week, Mandi is joined at the Brown Table by friend of the show, nurse and financial educator Naseema McElroy of Financially Intentional. The two get real about motherhood, love, career breaks, and all the chaos in between—from co-parenting struggles to Beyoncé ticket drama. Naseema shares an update on her mini retirement and an upcoming mommy-daughter retreat in Colombia, while Mandi recounts her wild Atlanta trip, complete with StubHub headaches and a soul-stirring church visit. It’s a fun, heartfelt convo about choosing rest, redefining success, and making room for what really matters.

Motherhood doesn’t mean losing your identity, your sensuality, or your freedom. This week, Erica and Milah confront the outdated “perfect mom” stereotype and challenge the idea that motherhood means: dressing conservatively, hiding your sex life, or being ashamed of smoking weed. This episode is a reminder that you can be a loving, responsible parent and still show skin, smoke a blunt, and have good sex. It’s not about being reckless, it’s about being real. You can expect to hear: The biggest lies society tells about “wild moms” Why it’s perfectly fine to smoke weed How to survive your hoe phase after motherhood The importance of showing kids how to properly clean themselves, even if you need to include props and Nutella Why Banana Republic and kitten heels might be a crime against moms everywhere The line between freedom and “put some damn clothes on, mom!” ------------------------ Watch This episode & more on YouTube!

Think about the deep neurobiological connection happening in your brain as you walk into a room and encounter someone who lights up at your presence, and the fulfilling sensation of knowing that person is beaming from the inside out with only one message, “I am so glad to be with YOU!” Without relational joy, there is no relational intelligence. Instead, relational joy is the antidote to the numbing out of our hurried lives because you walk around with a sense of knowing you are seen and loved.As we continue season 5 on relational intelligence, Josh provides what he calls the “JOY STARTS framework”—four principles and corresponding practices spelling the word JOYS to jumpstart relational joy in your life and in the lives of those around you. Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction & Review of Season 54:54 Moving from self-protection to experience life-giving relationships6:27 How our senses are tied to relational joy11:38 What relational joy feels like13:11 Introduction to the JOYS STARTS Framework13:50 Joy is found in the face - practices that increase facial delight21:40 Our brains are built for connection - practices for sharing joyful moments25:02 You return to joy, not just peace - practices for redeemed conflict resolution and resilience30:51 Set rhythms of joy - practices for daily joy rituals33:32 Practices for building relational joy in a screen-saturated worldShow Notes: If you're interested in a marriage you love, fill out this form: https://www.famousathome.com/loveyourmarriage Register now for the Tender & Fierce Fall Cohort: https://www.famousathome.com/offers/dDt2Aobj/checkout Download NONAH's single Find My Way Home by clicking here: https://bellpartners.ffm.to/findmywayhome

You'll discover practical ways to excavate your deepest values, integrate them into your rhythms and routines, and parent from a place of alignment rather than exhaustion. This episode is a heart-opening guide for every mom ready to move from surviving to thriving—by leading from her truth.If you'd like to get the show notes for this episode, head to: https://leighgermann.com

This week on Between Us Moms, Katie and Hallie dive headfirst into the chaos and mania of summer time with kids and the wildness of having toddlers in general -- think rummaging through kitchen drawers, messy homes, why quiet isn't always best -- and the delicate balance of trying to find a moment of peace. But it's not all madness. The ladies are back with another round of their Get to Know You game, revealing some of the best but hardest life lessons they've had to learn. They also spice things up with a deep dive into their favorite conspiracy theories—get ready for some jaw-dropping takes on Jeffrey Epstein, the Illuminati, the Denver Airport Bunker, Marilyn Monroe and even Dolly Parton's rumored double life. But that's not all! Katie and Hallie also share their current obsessions -- Katie's is contradictory while Hallie's is a 90's throwback. And, of course, they're opening up about their biggest personal goals right now—because who doesn't love a little ambition mixed with real talk? Reese Witherspoon -- are you listening? Join the conversation as they tackle it all with humor, honesty, and the chaotic energy of summer motherhood. Tune in, laugh, and maybe even start questioning a few things...The show has become a go-to listen and community for mamas all over the world!

What happens when a society decides that separating infants from their mothers is normal? As I drove past a daycare at 6:00 AM, I witnessed a heartbreaking scene—a child less than a year old being handed to a complete stranger. This moment crystallized one of modern America's greatest tragedies: we've systematically removed children from their mothers in pursuit of a distorted vision of progress.These children are denied experiences once considered fundamental—crawling into mom's bed in the morning, taking afternoon naps at home, playing freely in their own yards, or making messes in the kitchen alongside their mothers. When exactly did we convince ourselves this arrangement was best for children? The feminist revolution promised liberation but delivered a different reality, one where children spend their formative years with strangers while mothers rush between work and home, perpetually exhausted and guilt-ridden.Scripture provides clear guidance on marriage and family that we've largely ignored. God designed men and women differently—not to compete but to complement each other. Marriage isn't meant to be a 50-50 arrangement where spouses battle for power and autonomy. Rather, it functions best when husbands and wives embrace their distinct, God-given roles as outlined in passages like 1 Corinthians 11, Ephesians 5, and 1 Peter 3. When we reject this divine blueprint, we don't achieve equality—we diminish both men and women, making them less than they could be together.Are we ready to honestly assess what we've lost? Our collective rebellion against God's design—through feminism, abortion, or the rejection of biblical marriage—carries consequences beyond individual families to our entire society. The deteriorating state of American family life suggests the bill for these choices is coming due. Perhaps it's time to reconsider the divine pattern that once provided a foundation for human flourishing and family stability.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

“There is hope in the certainty that things do change,” writes Buddhist teacher Sharon Salzberg. But there is also real anxiety in the certainty that things do change. Change is the force that pushes us forward, without asking whether we want to move. Can the way we think about and navigate life's transitions improve our experience of them? In Episode 223, Susan and Cynthia are back for Season 10 with a conversation about the relentless nature of change, and what it might mean to lean into hope.

Something you hear very little about in the mainstream cycling media is motherhood.  And yet, pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and caring for little humans all have a profound impact on our bodies and our relationship with the bike.In this re-released podcast interview with Ali Frendin, we discuss pelvic floor health, getting back on the bike after childbirth, and the psychological impact of motherhood.

Not the spa-day kind, but the kind that fits into the cracks of real life. The kind that helps you feel more like yourself again. In this episode, you'll hear:

During a conversation at The Reparations Club, I spoke to Victoria Monét about her debut children's book, motherhood, and chasing her dreams. Victoria discussed the difficult moments of separation that inspired “Everywhere You Are.” From her daughter's stay in the NICU to her first day of school, Victoria realized there wasn't a market for explaining similar periods of distance to children. She drew on her incredible songwriting ability and childhood memories of living in a starlit neighborhood to write the book she and her daughter needed. The pair collaborated on this project, much like their Grammy nominated “Hollywood.”Victoria explained how she ensures that her daughter feels loved despite her busy schedule. She shared their routine with us, which includes listening to calming frequencies and learning positive affirmations. Hazel has repeated these affirmations outside of Victoria's presence, so she is confident that these reminders are taking root. Our discussion revealed Victoria's deep commitment to fostering Hazel's sense of independence. She hopes that by communicating the importance of traveling to chase her dreams, Hazel will be inspired to chase hers with confidence.Tune in as we discuss:How she prepares Hazel before she is away on tourWhy chasing her dreams is good for her and her family Tips for dealing with mom guiltHow her career aspirations changed with motherhoodThe wellness habits that help her unwind when she's homePurchase Victoria's book from Reparations ClubRate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple Join the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanet Thanks for all the love and support.

Today's topic is all things matrescence as we look at the book, Mothershift: Reclaiming Motherhood as a Rite of Passage. We will discuss the process of matrescence and the developmental steps that many people do not understand. Join us to learn more! Jessie Harrold is a coach and doula who has been supporting women through radical life transformations and other rites of passage for over 15 years. She works one-on-one with women and mothers to facilitate mentorship programs, women's circles, rituals, retreats, and nature-based experiences. Jessie is the author of Mothershift: Reclaiming Motherhood as a Rite of Passage and Project Body Love: my quest to love my body and the surprising truth I found instead. She also hosts The Becoming Podcast. Jessie lives on the east coast of Canada, where she raises her two children, writes, and tends the land. Show Highlights: What is matrescence? Comparisons between matrescence and adolescence (both transitions are processes that take time) Jessie's model of matrescence: The Four Elements of Radical Transformation: Earth – Orient yourself to what's true, and name the change. Water – (Think tears.) Grief over the self you were before this transformation is a normal part of transitioning to motherhood. Air – The liminal space of the “in-between” when you haven't fully integrated into the identity of being a mother. Fire – An igniting of the ember within you as you integrate into the identity of motherhood. This motherhood transition is an opportunity to let go of other things that aren't serving us well. Systemic factors that force women into “losing themselves in motherhood” The challenges we face in motherhood are part of the development into matrescence, but we still need the tools and resources to navigate them. “The Mother Powers”- the things that help us get through matrescence Matrescence is a beautiful process.

In today's Morning Manna, we turn to Proverbs 6:20–24 to discover how God's wisdom—handed down through parental instruction and Scripture—acts as both a guide and a guard. This passage shows us that truth is meant to be tied to our hearts and visible in our lives. We explore how God's commandments walk with us, watch over us, and even whisper to us in the quiet moments—keeping us from destruction and lighting the way forward.Join the leading community for Conservative Christians! https://www.FaithandValues.comYou can partner with us by visiting https://www.FaithandValues.com/donate, calling 1-800-576-2116, or by mail at PO Box 399 Vero Beach, FL 32961.Get high-quality emergency preparedness food today from American Reserves!https://www.AmericanReserves.comIt's the Final Day!
