Subscribe so you don’t miss an episode: Apple | Spotify | GetMomReady.com You know that moment when everyone needs something from you at the exact same time and your entire family is looking at you like you were born with eight arms? Emily Busby knows that feeling well. One Memorial Day, she was in the kitchen trying to get food ready while her kids were barking orders from every direction. Her hu...

Subscribe so you don’t miss an episode: Apple | Spotify | GetMomReady.com In this episode, we started with the usual chaos: shirt compliments, color analysis, Top Chef, leftover tortellini bake, and the realization that our group chat probably really should be a podcast. But the real conversation was about something so many moms feel, even if we don’t always say it out loud: Why do we feel like we...

For the mom trying to give her kids a magical summer without losing herself Subscribe so you don’t miss an episode: Apple | Spotify | GetMomReady.com You know those conversations that start with Slip ’N Slides, splash pads, Costco pools, and “’90s summer”…and somehow end up at the deep emotional truth that maybe your kids are not the only ones who need screen time boundaries? That was today’s epis...

In this episode of Get...

Subscribe so you don’t miss an episode: Apple | Spotify | GetMomReady.com We thought this conversation would be about navigating life as a medical mom. And it is, but like every honest conversation on this podcast, it turned into an encouragement to every mom who feels like they’re carrying the weight of the world. It became a conversation about what happens when the life you planned stops being t...

On last week’s Sunday Reset, Hannah shared what’s in her pool bag this summer. Hannah has such an eye for fashion and looking put together, and I am often…the opposite of that. Which is one of the reasons I love GetMomReady so much. We are all so different, but we are unified by the same values: telling the truth, supporting each other, and making space for the whole mom. So this is my version of...

Jess Freeman spent years being pretty sure she wasn’t going to have kids. Not in a dramatic, announcement-to-the-world way. More like a quiet, steady conclusion she carried after losing her mom in a car accident at 24, two months into running her business full time, two weeks before Christmas. Her brain did what a lot of our brains would do. No mom. Can’t be a mom. Not happening. And for a long ti...

Subscribe so you don’t miss an episode: Apple | Spotify | GetMomReady.com Okay…we thought this episode was going to be practical, like: “10 easy self-care tips for moms.” Maybe a conversation about bubble baths. Maybe a Target run. Maybe one of us would say “drink more water” and we’d all nod in agreement…instead, we somehow ended up questioning the entire concept of self-care (because, of course...

Subscribe so you don’t miss an episode: Apple | Spotify | GetMomReady.com We thought this conversation would be about breastfeeding. But like so many conversations in motherhood… it became about so much more. It became a conversation about identity, expectations, how nothing quite prepares you for the reality of feeding your baby no matter how much you think it will, and ultimately… it became a co...

Subscribe so you don’t miss an episode: Apple | Spotify | GetMomReady.com There’s a tension a lot of moms don’t say out loud. You finally have the option to step back, go hybrid, or stay home, and instead of just feeling grateful, you feel weird. * Guilty. * Privileged. * Unsure if you’ve “earned” it. * Questioning if it’s “okay” not to work a 9-5. This week on Get Mom Ready , all four of us sat d...

Subscribe so you don’t miss an episode: Apple | Spotify | GetMomReady.com There’s a conversation happening right now that we don’t want moms sitting out of. Recently, Reese Witherspoon posted on Instagram about learning AI and why women need to be part of shaping it. Not later. Not once it’s figured out. Now. And this week’s episode felt like the perfect continuation of that conversation. Because...

Subscribe so you don’t miss an episode: Apple | Spotify | GetMomReady.com Shownotes + Links You’re tired. But not just “mom tired.” You feel off. More anxious than usual. More reactive than you want to be. And you can’t quite explain why. If any of that resonates, this episode is for you. This week, we sat down with Dawn Marraccino , coach for women in midlife (or really any transition), READY-cer...

Show Notes: What we Talked About + Coaching Link There are some parts of motherhood that aren’t necessarily hard because they’re huge. They’re hard because they happen every single day . Dinner. Bedtime. School pickup. Getting out the door. Managing expectations for a “fun” weekend. Thinking about the thing you have to do later… fi...

Subscribe so you don’t miss an episode: Apple | Spotify | GetMomReady.com What if the thing making motherhood feel so hard… isn’t just the workload? What if part of the exhaustion is coming from spending your energy on things you don’t actually value, but feel like you’re supposed to? Anna came in with a simple question: “How do I figure out my values in motherhood?” Not in a fluffy way. In a “my...

A toddler meltdown on a plane. And a mom crying under a blanket mid-flight. You know… the usual. But somewhere in the middle of swapping travel stories, the conversation turned into something bigger: How do...

Click above to listen on Apple or click HERE to listen on Spotify. Show Notes: What we Talked About + Products Hey friends! welcome back to Get Mom Ready. It’s the trio holding it down today: Meredith, Hannah, and Anna (Holly will be back!). And yes—today’s audio is a little different: Meredith is traveling and packing light, so her volume is a bit quieter than usual. Turn it up when she’s talking...

Before we go any further, let’s say this out loud: You are not “too sensitive.”You are overstimulated. Your phone is buzzing. The news is loud. The group chat is on fire. Your calendar is full. Your kids need snacks. Dinner isn’t made. And somewhere in the middle of all of it… you snap. Not because you’re a bad mom. Not because you don’t care. But because your nervous system was never designed for...

If you’ve ever found yourself doing the “invisible work” of your home while also trying to keep everyone alive, fed, and emotionally okay… this episode is for you. This week, Meredith, Hannah, and Anna talk about what’s underneath “I’m fine, I’ve got it,” and why asking for help often feels harder than just doing the thing (even when we’re drowning). Holly is traveling this week, but we’ll be circ...

Money is one of those topics that can feel instantly overwhelming, especially in motherhood, when you’re juggling a million decisions and your brain is already full. In this episode, we brought on Becca Gonzalez (The Money Girls) to make money feel simple, doable, and even kind of fun . Becca shares how she went from bringing $90,000 of debt into her marriage (and becoming a full-blown “every doll...

Holly’s onsite with a client today, so it’s just Anna + Hannah + Meredith on the mic, talking about something that quietly shapes your whole motherhood experience: Friendship. Not “how to make more mom friends.”But how to know who’s safe… and how to be safe when someone hands you something tender. Because motherhood has a way of turning friendship into both: * lifeline * and landmine And a lot of...

Somehow we all wear clothes every day…And yet most of us are still getting dressed on autopilot. In the dark. Half-awake. Wondering how we became the person who owns that many black leggings. In this episode of Get Mom Ready , Holly, Hannah, and Meredith sit down with Priscila Smith (author, Substack writer ( Follow her page, Put Together ) , and actual style whisperer) to talk about why personal...

Sometimes the most “emotionally healthy” thing you can do as a mom is admit the truth: you’re overwhelmed, you’re over-functioning, and social media is not helping. In this episode, Holly, Hannah, and Meredith sit down with Alli Worthington (author, speaker, business coach (Holly’s actual business coach!), and mom of five) to talk about what it looks like to become an emotionally healthy mom… so w...

Getting ready for maternity leave can feel like trying to plan for a season you’ve never lived before…because you are. In this episode, we kick off a multi-part conversation on preparing for maternity leave—starting with mindset and practical preparation (and keeping it very real about what you can and can’t control). What we covered: - Our different maternity leave experiences (corporate, clinica...
