Moms Need Moms

Ever wondered what a day in the life of a Mama was like?  I mean we all can related to the daily roller coaster rides of Mom Life.  But do you really know what we all go through on a daily?  I think it's different for us all.  Especially, for moms with kids on the spectrum.  It's always interesting to me to hear what other moms are going through or what they've found throughout thei...

This episode was EPIC.  Seriously, if you haven't heard any of my episodes, PLEASE listen to this one.  I had a very special and inspiring conversation, with an amazing human being.  Mr. Jim Elliott, President and Founder of Diveheart, a not-for-profit organization was kind enough to share with me his journey and all the amazing work he and his organization is doing for people with disabiliti...

Today's episode is super juicy as I was blessed to have my good friend and guest, Amanda Delaney aka the Financial FixHER.  Amanda is the Founder of Financial FixHER, a fellow podcaster, a mom, a wife, a friend and a Badass WOMAN.  Her mission is to teach other BADASS women out there, how to recover from money messes, how to create a budget that works and how to stop the cycle of living paych...

I am always talking about Self Care for us Mamas.  Because we definitely need it to stay sane and healthy both physically and mentally.  But how about our little humans?  Don't they need self care too?  I've found a few ways that you can provide self-care for the kiddos too, especially if they are challenged with trying to regulate their emotions and feelings.  These little things have h...

Hello Mamas out there.  Are you all in for a special treat.  This is my very first interview pod episode and I'm super excited to share this with you all today.  It's also aligning with my 1 year anniversary of launching my podcast back in February of 2022.  So I have all the feelings and joy and feel super blessed, not only to be able to share my passion with you all, but also to bring...

You may have heard of the term 5 to Thrive.  Personal Development coaches, such as Rachel Hollis and Tony Robbins use this term.  It's meant to give you 5 things you can incorporate into your life, that will help you with everyday living.  They're not difficult things to do, but to fit them into your routine can be a challenge.  I've come up with my own 5 to Thrive which I'm sh...

We are officially in the month where we celebrate LOVE.  Most of the times, I feel that Valentine's Day is spent celebrating romantic relationship, marriages, and love for your significant other.  This is wonderful, don't get me wrong, But why, don't we also celebrate the most important person? YOU!  It is the month of Love, after all. In this episode, I went all Makeup and Beauty,...

I started a list called 23 in 2023.  It's a list of 23 things or goals, that I want to achieve in 2023.  One of them is journaling.  Every year I try to incorporate journaling into my routine, but it never sticks.  So I'm trying something new to see if it will work this year, and I wanted to share it with all you Mamas out there.  Hope it's helpful. Intro I would love to connect wit...

Just doing a check in with you Mamas out there.  It's been a couple of weeks into the New Year. I know you've been seeing a lot of folks out there trying to get their s@#t together for the New year.  What with all the goal setting, planning, and focusing on their health and wellness and spending more time with the families.  And even though, some of us may seem like we're doing ok I...

Happy New Year Mamas.  I don't know about you but I just could not wait for 2022 to end and for 2023 to begin.  The last couple of weeks of the year were rough and even though I was super thankful and grateful for all that 2022 brought and taught me, I was happy to say goodbye.  So whether you're feeling excited and hopeful for the new year, or whether you are just dreading trying to fig...

Hi my Mamas.  Wishing you all a very Happy Holidays.  Not sure how you're all spending it, but I am sending out all the love and best wishes for a wonderful time spent with loved ones.  I also want to recognize that I do realize that this may not be the happiest time of the year for everyone.  But I do pray for you all that you may find some tiny hope or some one person to hold on to during y...

It's been a minute, but I definitely wanted to check in before celebrating Thanksgiving.  I wanted to share with you all on how having a daily practice of Gratitude can be such a game changer for your life.  And it doesn't have to be time consuming at all.  You can start your own daily practice with a simple step which I've shared with you all in this episode.  So I hope you all hav...

What keeps you up at night?  I know my Mom brain is constantly swirling with not only all my to-do lists and future plans, but also with the constant worrying typical of Mamas.  And when you throw in a child on the spectrum, there are even more things to worry about.  So I narrowed down mine to 6 which could change at any given time, but here it is for now.  Enjoy. Intro I would love to connect wi...

I love this time of the year and I love Halloween.  But for some of our little ones, especially those on the Spectrum or with special needs, this time of the year can be very stressful and overwhelming.  I've been waiting for that moment when my son, Logan, would finally show some interest in all the festivities,  WELL, the time has finally come, and I have some fun tips to share with you Mam...

Or is it?  Make sure you listen to Part 1 first and then Part 2.  You'll get my take on how to make your trip more fun and on how not to set your expectations so high.  Plus you'll get my take on Legoland, which for us was a much better experience.

Hello Mamas.  Well, in keeping with the family traditions that so many of us endure each and every year, we finally decided to make our very first pilgrimage to the "Most Magical Place on Earth".  But was it truly the most magical place on earth?  I don't know about you Mamas out there, but for us mamas with kids with special needs, in particular, ASD, it wasn't so magical.   ...

I'm so happy to be back to talk about my favorite time of the year.  OCTOBER is here baby!  For many reasons, this is one of my favorite months and time of the year.  Which includes, Halloween, the start of the holiday season (well in my world it is) and birthdays galore, including yours truly!  Woohoo.  So, if you're like me and love to celebrate Halloween, etc.., the I hope you all enj...

"Life as a Mama shouldn't be so ruff'" .  But it is and instead of always stressing over the constant cleaning up and picking up of toys, clothes, food, etc., the overflow of the never-ending laundry pile, the sticky floors, the leftover toys in every single room, or the bathroom takeover by your toddler, let's take a moment and remember that this too shall pass.  I know t...

Just a quick Blip on expectations and how we Mamas perceive our motherhood journey.  Expectations vs Reality are two totally different things.  Motherhood is not what you perceive it to be.  For me, motherhood was not what I dreamed of.  But that's not a bad thing.  Sometimes, we focus too much on how we think motherhood should look like, and we don't realize that how it actually turns o...

Anyone ever feel like just staying home and not socializing.  Well, I have always been an introvert, but I don't know about you, but ever since the Global Pandemic Shutdown, it's been hard for me to get myself out there.  Now more than ever I feel that social connection is crucial but not always easy for us Mamas.  Can anyone else relate to this? I would love to connect with you all.  An...

Well the kiddos are going to back to school.  At least down here in the South they are.  So how do we all feel about this?  Some of us are experiencing the Back to School Blues for the very 1st time and I know it's tough.  Some of our kiddos are heading to PreK, like my little one, Kindergarten, High School or College.  It's a very euphoric and proud moment as a Mama to see our little on...

Today's episode doesn't really have an agenda.  I just felt the need to share and check in with all my Mamas out there.  Sometimes, having an outlined agenda for a podcast episode isn't as important as just showing up.  Hope you're all enjoying your summer. I would love to connect with you all.  And if you would be so kind as to leave me a review on Apple Podcasts, I would so g...

Sooner or later, Grief will affect us all.  During these trying times, enduring a global pandemic, and losing loved ones, relationships ending, jobs and homes being lost, I feel like we've all endured grief at some point or another.  So I felt the need to talk about grief and how it's affect me and how I've handled it.  This wasn't an easy topic for me and warn you...I do get a...

I really didn't have an agenda or a specific topic for this episode.  June has been a very emotional, busy and monumental Month for me full of milestones, endings, beginnings and remembering my Dad and all Dads of the world.  After all, they should have a month too. I would love to connect with you all.  And if you would be so kind as to leave me a review on Apple Podcasts, I would so greatly...
