Moms and Their Music

Everybody says, “Check on your mom friends.” But are we making it safe for them to answer honestly? This week on Moms and Their Music , we’re turning the volume up on a conversation that too many moms feel pressured to keep quiet: our mental health. The medication. The appointments. The overstimulation. The guilt of loving your babies with everything you have while barely having anything left for...

Ever had one note, harmony, or beat drop give you actual goosebumps? In Episode 33, I’m back at the mic to ask why music can do that to our bodies; and why the same song can hit differently depending on the memories we bring to it. We’re talking frisson, the thrill of knowing a musical moment is coming, and those songs that somehow find us before we have words for what we’re feeling. What song giv...

Gentle parenting is a whole lot easier when you have a gentle child. There.

Is gentle parenting the problem? Are we raising emotionally healthy kids? Tiny household terrorists? Or are all of us just despe...

No big production. No perfect answers. Just a mom, a mic, some music, and a minute to sit together. In this episode Casia slows things down for a real conversation about the seasons of motherhood and life that don’t always come with a neat explanation. The lonely parts. The changing parts. The moments when you’re figuring things out in real time while still showing up for everybody else. And, beca...

Remember being 10 years old, singing every single word to a song you had absolutely NO business knowing? Yeah… same. 😂 This week on Moms and Their Music, we’re going back to the songs that had an entire generation singing about things we did NOT understand. From questionable school-dance anthems and suspicious “candy” references to lyrics that hit VERY differently now that we’re grown. And now th...

MATM is in a little bit of limbo… so naturally, that turned into an entire bonus episode. 😂 This week, we’re talking about evolving, waiting, motherhood, and the weird in-between seasons where you know something is changing even if you don’t quite know what comes next.

Somebody left Casia unattended with the aux cord, and honestly? That feels like a poor decision. 😂🎶 This week on Moms and Their Music , we're skipping the life lessons and getting back to the thing that started all of this: the MUSIC.
