In this conversation with my friend and neighbor, Lauren, we talk about something so many working moms wrestle with: the pressure to do it all. We get honest about what it looks like to set boundaries in your real life, how we decide what we're not doing, how we protect our time, and how we lean on each other and our support systems to make work and family life sustainable.   If you've been feeling stretched thin, or like you're carrying more than you actually want to be carrying, this episode is a reminder that you get to choose. You're allowed to say no. And you're allowed to create a life that has room for you in it.   Listen in for practical examples, real-world conversation, and permission to take something off your plate.     ==========================  

Hi Mamas, Year-end review season is here, and while most of us can talk for days about what our kids accomplished, what our team achieved, or what everyone else did great this year… when it comes to our own wins?

In this episode, we'll talk about what to do when your best-laid plans go sideways.What you'll learn:– Why it's totally normal to feel disappointed when plans change– How to stop beating yourself up when things don't get done– Three mindset shifts that make unexpected days feel easierBecause real life is messy—and that doesn't mean you're doing it wrong.Free Resources:

Working mom guilt? Yep, it's very real. Dr. Sarah Allen joins me to unpack where that guilt comes from, how to navigate it, and ways to feel more confident in whatever choices work best for your family.

In this episode, I chat with Alexandra, a South Philly mom navigating life as a working mom while her husband, Nick, stays home full-time with their twin boys. From the chaos of a traumatic birth and postpartum recovery to the ongoing juggle of work, parenting, and marriage, Alexandra opens up about the emotional, financial, and personal recalibrations they've made to prioritize their boys' early years. We dive into the evolving roles of modern parents, the mental toll of leaving your babies to go to work, and the often invisible identity shifts both partners endure. Alexandra also reflects on how her husband's challenging childhood shaped his commitment to being a present father—and how their dynamic as partners continues to adapt as their boys grow. If you've ever wondered who should stay home, how to handle the guilt of either choice, or what it really means to parent as a team, this is your episode.EPISODE THEMES

Hi mama, Today, we're tackling one of the universal challenges of motherhood… getting out of the house with little kids without losing your sanity. Remember those days when leaving for a “quick errand” required 47 steps, two outfit changes, and a miracle? This one's for you.

Someone will spill, cry, or refuse to bend their legs into the car seat (we've all been there). But with a plan, a snack stash, and a sense of humor, you can survive even the most chaotic Target run. And mama, if the holiday season has you juggling lists, shopping, and school events, grab my

Are you tired of feeling like your family's rhythm changes faster than you can catch your breath?Physical therapist and military spouse Amanda Rabin shares how she went from sobbing in traffic, unable to reach daycare, to building a flexible career and family rhythms that actually work. This honest conversation tackles mom guilt, work-life balance, solo parenting, and creating breathing room in the chaos—perfect for overwhelmed Christian moms seeking practical wisdom and grace. Amanda's a mom of three littles navigating life while her husband deploys for long stretches. She's also the queen of creating rhythms that work—not perfect, Pinterest-worthy rhythms, but real-life, messy, sustainable ones that give her family space to actually breathe. We're diving deep into the stuff Christian moms don't always talk about out loud: the mom guilt that creeps in when you just want 20 minutes alone, the overwhelming feeling of trying to honor your calling while being present for your kids, and what it looks like to ask for help when you're drowning (spoiler: it's harder for you to ask than it is for people to say yes). Amanda shares the game-changing advice her dad gave her about her empathetic daughter who wouldn't stay in bed—it completely shifted her perspective on motherhood struggles and gave her so much grace. Plus, you'll hear how she manages work-life balance with multiple side hustles, why routines became her secret weapon against mom burnout, and the meal planning system that keeps her family fed without the 5:30 dinner panic. ᯓ➤ This is for every overwhelmed mom standing at a crossroads, wondering if there's a better way. ᯓ➤ For the kingdom-minded mom who wants to live with passion and purpose but feels torn in a million directions. ᯓ➤ For the mom in transition trying to figure out what comes next. Amanda's story is proof that with a little creativity, a lot of God's guidance, and some honest conversations, you can build a life that works for your family—not against it.

10-30-2025: Wake Up Missouri with Randy Tobler, Stephanie Bell, John Marsh, and Producer Drake

Hi mama, We're heading full steam into the holiday season… the cozy sweaters, the peppermint lattes, the twinkly lights… and with it comes the reminder that this season is about more than gifts and glitter… it's about giving. And not just us as adults… but our kids, too. In today's episode, we're talking all about how to teach your kids to give back and simple ways to make generosity part of your family's holiday traditions. From painted pumpkins for seniors to kindness advent calendars and Elf Box donations, I'm sharing 12 heartfelt ways your family can spread cheer…and model compassion…without adding chaos to your already-full plate. Because mama, the holidays aren't about perfection. They're about presence. And when your kids see you giving back, they learn that the best gifts aren't the ones wrapped under the tree… they're the ones wrapped in kindness.

If you're a Christian working mom who lies awake playing out every possible scenario — trying to stay ahead of what could go wrong — this episode will feel like exhale. Today we're talking about the kind of anxiety that doesn't always look chaotic on the outside — but feels like a constant mental hum you can't turn off. The silent fear of “what if I don't see it coming?” The emotional exhaustion of always trying to pre-live what hasn't even happened yet. In this episode, you'll learn: Why so much of your anxiety isn't because something is actually wrong — but because you don't know what's next The difference between what-if thinking (fear-driven) vs. even-if faith (peace-anchored) A 3-step biblical reset you can do in real time when your brain starts spiraling How to experience peace before clarity — not after Why God isn't waiting for you to figure it all out — He's waiting for you to stay close If your mind is constantly preparing for things that haven't even happened… if you're tired of living braced for impact… this conversation will show you a new way to walk — steady, grounded, and no longer driven by fear of the unknown.   If you're ready to go deeper, I also share Faithfully Balanced, my course designed to help Christian working moms like you restore peace, guard your priorities, and live faithfully aligned with God — all without adding extra hustle to your life.  Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode: Faithfully Balanced Course

In this episode, we're talking about the real-life logistics of being a working mom who travels — and how communication and help make it all possible.   My former manager, who showed me the ropes when it comes to work travel, shares how her career has taken her on the road for years, and what she's learned about staying connected with her family while she's away. From managing calendars to planning ahead (and letting go of perfection), we dive into what it really takes to leave your family.   We also talk about how asking for help isn't a weakness — it's a strategy. Whether it's coordinating with your partner, leaning on friends, or being upfront with your employer, clear communication and support are what keep things running smoothly.   If you've ever packed a suitcase while double-checking the school lunch menu, this episode will remind you that you're not alone — and that there's no one right way to make it all work.   ==========================  

Working moms are burning out at higher rates than almost any other group in the workforce. The reasons are complicated, but it will clearly impact organizations.In this episode, I talk with Dr. Rosina McAlpine about what's really happening with working parents and what might actually help.Dr. Rosina is a work and family wellbeing expert who works with HR leaders to build family-friendly workplaces. She runs Win Win Parenting and has developed workplace programs that help organizations support their working parents.We dig into why moms are more stressed than dads, why generic wellness programs don't work for parents, and what the statistics tell us about working parent burnout across the globe (!!). Rosina shares her five-step framework for HR leaders who want to create workplaces where parents can thrive, not just survive.We also tackle the tough questions: Why should employers care when having kids is a choice? What about employees without children who feel resentful? AndHow can organizations support parents without breaking the bank?If you're an HR professional trying to figure out how to support working parents, or if you're a working parent yourself looking for validation and solutions, this conversation has something for you.Topics we cover:The mental load on momsThe statistics on working parent burnout (they're not good)Rosina's five-step framework for family-friendly workplacesHow to measure the impact of parenting programsWhy supporting parents benefits all of society** This is a link to Dr. McAlpine's 5-point Guide:https://www.winwinparenting.com/closing-the-gap-in-parent-support-guide**Find Dr. Rosina McAlpine**Win Win Parenting: https://winwinparenting.comFor working parents: https://drrosina.com**Find Andrea Adams**https://thehrhub.cahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/andrea-adams1/

Hi Mamas, Ever notice how your mood can shift the whole energy in your home? One snippy email at work… one traffic jam… one long day…and suddenly everyone feels it. But what if you could catch those moments before they spiral? That's what today's episode is all about: self-awareness… the quiet superpower that helps you show up with more patience, presence, and peace. In this episode, Kerri gets real about her own wake-up call (spoiler: it involved her mom, sister, and a tough dose of honesty), and how that moment completely shifted how she approaches stress, work, marriage, and motherhood. You'll learn: ✨ What self-awareness really means (and what it's not) ✨ How to pause and check in with your emotions before they spill over ✨ Why “mirror moments” are the secret to stronger relationships ✨ How small shifts… like journaling, mindful transitions, and deep breathing… can change the tone of your entire day ✨ Why being self-aware makes you not just a better mom, but a happier one Kerri also shares her favorite real-life practices for catching negative energy before it spreads, plus how she's learning (in progress!) to bring more light into every room she walks into. Challenge of the Week: Pause once today and ask yourself: 1️⃣ How am I feeling right now? 2️⃣ How is this affecting how I'm showing up? 3️⃣ What's one small shift I can make in this moment? Then, write down what you notice. The goal isn't perfection… it's presence.

Hi Mamas, Let's be real… mom life can feel like a juggling act on roller skates… during an earthquake. Between work deadlines, family responsibilities, and that never-ending mental load, it's easy to forget what actually makes you feel good. In this episode, I'm sharing 10 simple things I've done lately that have made a big difference in my mood, my mindset, and my day-to-day life. From hiring a cleaning person to buying the bigger jeans (yep, we're going there), to rediscovering small joys like walking in silence or sipping coffee from my Magnolia mug… these real-life changes have helped me feel more calm, confident, and present. You don't need a total life overhaul, mama. You just need one small shift that helps you breathe easier, smile more, and remember you matter too.

Hi Mamas, This week's Monday Mindset is a little reminder that your happiness isn't a luxury… it's fuel.

We all have those things we want to use—like that stash of fancy teas or essential oils—but somehow… we never do. And yet, we feel too guilty to let them go. In this episode, we're talking about the clutter that's “still good” and why it's so hard to part with it, especially with an ADHD brain.What you'll learn:Why “out of sight, out of mind” makes decluttering harderSmall, ADHD-friendly ways to actually use the stuff you already haveA fresh take on expiration dates (that might finally work for you)You don't have to use it or lose it right this second—but you do get to decide what's worth keeping in your life.Free Resources:

Why Doing Good Can Leave Christian Working Moms Drained (and How to Serve Without Burning Out) Do you ever feel like you're doing all the right things—serving your family, showing up at work, helping at church—but deep down, you're completely exhausted? You're pouring out for everyone else, yet somehow your soul still feels empty. In this episode, we're talking about what happens when doing good leaves you drained, why that doesn't mean you're failing, and how to serve from God's strength instead of your own. We'll explore: Why burnout often comes from doing too many good things without rest How Jesus and Mary & Martha show us the importance of presence over busyness Practical ways to pause, set boundaries, and refill your soul How to rediscover joy and peace in the middle of your calling If you've been feeling weary from all the doing, this episode is your gentle reminder that faithfulness doesn't mean constant motion—it means walking closely with the One who gives you rest.

Welcome to Season 2 where I'm sitting down with everyday working moms to ask them how they do it! We're pulling back the curtain on morning routines, work responsibilities, getting help, sharing the mental load, and so much more.   In this conversation, I sit down with my former manager and friend, Amanda Davis, to talk about the real-life juggle of growing a career while raising a family. Amanda is a mom of four (including twins!) and currently leads a sales team. We reminisce about our early days working together in tech—navigating mergers and maternity leaves—and then dive into what life looks like for her now.   Amanda shares how she and her husband encourage independence with their kids, the lessons she's learned from taking big career and business risks, and how she makes time for both her professional ambitions and personal passions. We also talk openly about asking for help, leaning on community, and giving yourself permission to pivot when a job no longer fits your season of life.   If you've ever wondered how another working mom manages the chaos of school mornings, sports schedules, and career transitions, this episode is for you.   ==========================

Hey Heal Squad! We're back with Part 2 of our powerful conversation with Dr. Tiffany Moon, anesthesiologist, author of Joy Prescriptions, and former Real Housewives of Dallas star. Tiffany opens up about the harsh realities of burnout, mom guilt, and the impossible balancing act women face in careers that don't support family life. She shares what it was really like to return to work just six weeks after giving birth to twins, the toll that lifestyle took on her mental and physical health, and how she eventually found her way back to joy. Tiffany also gives us practical tools for protecting our peace, from doing a “friend audit” to stop energy drains, to breaking free from the toxic game of comparison on social media. PLUS, she takes us behind the scenes of her time on Real Housewives, what she learned from that experience, and the life-changing safety tips everyone should know before going under anesthesia!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Comparison steals joy. Tiffany reminds us that social media often fuels the “compare and despair” cycle, but constantly measuring yourself against curated highlight reels only robs you of peace. Instead, she encourages focusing on your own progress and defining success on your terms. Do a friend audit. Not everyone deserves access to your energy. Tiffany shares how evaluating who truly uplifts you (and who drains you) can be life-changing,  sometimes the healthiest step is to shrink your circle and invest in relationships that give back. Know your anesthesia risks. Surgery isn't the time to stay quiet. Tiffany emphasizes asking about medication interactions, family history, and monitoring protocols, because informed patients are safer patients. A few questions could literally save your life.
