The Kind Moms Club Podcast

Pulling the curtain back on the struggle of growing, running a podcast, and wearing all of the "hats". The podcast is getting a little mommy makeover - tune in to hear about some of those changes!

It's the year of being the most me possible, so let's get really real.  I don't do well with vulnerability, but I'm trying to build a community here, so it feels necessary to pull back the curtain a little bit.  Talking all things anxiety, mental health, taking care of me, jump starting the year, the slump I've been in, and more.  Let's yap!  Join the group chat, connect with me on Instagram, and...

Surprise!  We officially have video to go along with the podcast now.  My hope in doing this is to expand our audience, reach more moms, and to be able to showcase some guests on the podcast in the future.  This week, I'm just winging it and we'll work out the kinks later.  I'm chatting all things about my realistic cleaning routines as a work-from-home toddler mama.  I hope this sparks an idea fo...

The excitement to be back is SO real!  I'm stoked for 2025 and all that is (hopefully) to come.  I'm sharing my goals, hopes, and dreams for this year for my family, business, communities, and (of course) Kind Moms Club!  Let's catch up, chat, and set the tone for the year - buckle up, it's about to get reeeeeally real up in here.

For the last episode of 2024, it felt fitting to wrap up the year together.  I'm walking you through some highlights of what's gone on in my world this year, three important lessons I learned this year (especially being a mom), and how I'm feeling moving into 2025.  Talk to you in January, mamas!  In the meantime, be sure to connect with me on Instagram and join the Kind Moms Club community on Fac...

I have been asked this question so many times over the last two years, I thought it was about time to make an episode about it.  When we decided to do this, Kristin Cavallari was the only person I had seen do it, but now it's way more common to not share kids' faces on social media.  We have loved this decision and honestly are only gaining more boundaries with it as time goes on.    Mentioned in...

Happy Halloween (a little early!) with a double episode surprise! This episode is a not-so-little Kind Moms Club update, sharing all about how we're taking this outside of just a podcast and building a full-blown Kind Moms Club community!  I have been sharing on my Instagram stories that something new and exciting was coming for the KMC community and I knew that my podcast mamas had to be the firs...

It's the fifth Tuesday of the month, so that means a bonus episode!  And while I know it's only October, but the KMC community voted to hear about books and as your local resident book worm mama, I am here to serve the people with a recap of my reads thus far this year!  I've got my Goodreads account in hand and I'm sharing a handful of the five-star reads I've gone through in 2024 - I'll be hard-...

Going low-tox can be so overwhelming.  It seems like anyone having these conversations is judgey and extreme.  I'm here to have a real conversation with y'all about things we do in our house to lower our toxic burden.  Why does it matter?  Your health is impacted by what you put in AND on your body, including your environment.  Don't feel like it's all or nothing - every change you make has an imp...

Every mom has hard days and anyone you know that pretends otherwise is lying or in denial.  This is episode is for your hard day, to help you remember that it is just a moment and doesn't define your motherhood.  Come back and listen to this as often as you need to hear it and pass it on to your mom friends because you never know who might need to hear this today, too. ☼ Join the official Kind Mom...

If you hear the term, "self-care" and it makes you cringe, you're in the right place.  Same, girl.  Let's be real, moms don't have a lot of time for ourselves and some of us don't like bubble baths.  So what if we made self-care a lot more intentional and realistic?  Learn how to weave self-care into your rhythm of busy as a mom so that it feels more like a routine than a requirement when you're f...

From a teaching career to running my business during nap time, it's been quite the ride.  Becoming a mom gave me the courage to pivot my entire life.  Ditching day care, anxiety, leaps of faith, and so much more are all a part of this story.  Tune in to find out how I went from a full-time elementary school teacher to owner of Kay the VA LLC.

If your kids whine, grab some wine and tune in.  We're leaving room for moms to share the hard stuff, because we all have hard stuff.  Two things can be true - motherhood can be joyful and have hard moments.  Gratitude for your kids in every season is so important, but we have to leave a little room to "complain", too.  The positive perspective I have on motherhood isn't negated when I have a mome...

Our very first guest episode and it's featuring none other than my husband and baby daddy, Jonathan.  To know him is to love him...and also laugh at - I MEAN WITH - him.  We're getting into the nitty gritty of fatherhood and how being a dad has changed his role as a husband.  This is an episode I'm so proud of and I know we'll cherish years from now.  I'm not crying, you're crying!   Love this epi...

I am a stay-at-home mom, but I also work from home as a VA.  There's a lot going on around here.  Like, A LOT.  So here is my current cleaning routine, which I just started with full fidelity this month.  This is a new and different system for me that is helping me keep all of my tasks straight, make sure things are getting cycled through to keep things tidy around here, while also being realistic...

The age-old question that most of us dread.  Your kids, your spouse, and even you...we're all wondering what the heck is for dinner.  I'm walking you through my entire meal planning process that I've fine-tuned from single girl in grad school and as a teacher through getting married and having a baby.  Meals as a mom are quite the job (because you don't have enough to do, right?) so I'm hopeful th...

On the other side of the first year, I wanted to document the things that really got me through that year.  The things I leaned on, the things I used constantly, and the things I felt like I couldn't survive without in year one!   Connect with me on Instagram @yourmomfriendkay
