• Why You Should Journal If You Are a Busy, Overwhelmed Mom

  Hey mama---if you've ever said "I'm just not a journaler," this one's for you. 💌 I sat down with Ashley, The Journaling Coach, to talk all things journaling---how it can reconnect you to yourself, release stress, and literally change your life. Whether you haven't touched a journal since middle school or already love a good brain dump, you're going to see journaling in a whole new way after this episode.Ashley shares how a late-night journaling session after heartbreak turned into her life's work---helping others process, heal, and come home to themselves through writing. Together, we dive into why journaling matters so much for moms, how to start even if it feels awkward, and how this simple daily act can help you drop guilt, reclaim joy, and remember who you are beyond motherhood.Here's what we talk about: Why journaling is one of the fastest ways to get out of your head and into your heart How writing helps you uncover subconscious stories and rewire your brain The truth about why so many moms avoid journaling---and how to rebuild trust with yourself Ashley's favorite go-to prompts (including the life-changing one: "What do I need more of?") How journaling and fun go hand-in-hand (yes, healing can actually be FUN!) The difference between brain dumping and prompted writing---and when to use each Why giving yourself permission to write imperfectly is a radical act of self-careAnd you'll hear me talk about my new favorite challenge: "Felt Guilty, Did It Anyway." Because when we model self-care and wholeness, we show our kids that love doesn't mean disappearing---it means being fully alive.✨ Want to experience the power of journaling in community?

• Build Wealth Without a Budget: The Do Both Method for Moms

  You know how I always say that restriction doesn't work for weight loss? Well, it turns out it doesn't work for money either. Germaine and I jam on all the sneaky money traps we fall into as women and moms --- and how we can finally free ourselves from them. I sat down with my friend Germaine Foley, a total money queen who teaches women how to build wealth without restriction, deprivation, or overwhelm. You're going to be obsessed.Germaine used to have over $200K in debt, and now she's completely turned it around. She shares how she built wealth without giving up lattes, vacations, or joy (yes, please!). Her approach --- the Do Both Method --- is all about building wealth and enjoying life at the same time.Here's what we dive into:\The invisible bars that keep us stuck in money cagesWhy "just make more money" isn't actually the solutionHow crash diets and strict budgets are basically the same trapThe mindset shift to do both --- live now and build for laterHow to align your spending with what actually matters to youMy favorite takeaway: money needs attention, but not obsession (like a good partner!)Germaine's 3-account system that makes managing money simple and funHow to stop ignoring your finances --- and start feeling empowered by themWhy spending on yourself isn't selfish --- it's smart, powerful, and necessaryI seriously got so fired up during this convo because the parallels between money and weight loss are wild. Both are about intention, not punishment. Attention, not restriction. Freedom, not perfection.If you're ready to change your relationship with money (and honestly, your whole life), go check out Germaine's free private podcastOr if you're like, "I need this woman in my life," book a consult with her.And mama --- don't forget to join the brand new Free the Moms Membership!

• Mom Guilt vs. Dad Guilt: Why We Feel It (and How to Break Free)

  Okay mamas, this one is FUN—you get my hubby Brian on the pod! 🙌 We’re diving into a hilarious (and kind of eye-opening) story from the first week of school that showed me just how differently moms and dads experience guilt. I was over here spiraling with full-on *mom guilt* for missing my son’s first day of kindergarten… meanwhile, Brian casually admits he didn’t feel guilty at all for missing our daughter’s big day. Like, what?! 😂 So in this episode we’re breaking it all down—why moms carry the emotional load, why dads seem totally unbothered, and what we can actually *learn* from them about letting go of guilt. You’ll hear us laugh, tease, and keep it totally real about:Why dads often skip the guilt trip altogether How our cultural “codes” shape what we think parenting *should* look like Why trusting our partners (and our kids!) can free us up big time How letting our kids feel their feelings is actually a gift What happens when we stop trying to be everywhere, every time This convo is equal parts juicy, lighthearted, and freeing. If you’ve ever felt weighed down by mom guilt, I promise this will leave you laughing and breathing easier. And if you’re ready to really practice ditching the guilt (plus people-pleasing and perfectionism), come join me inside Free the Moms—we’re doing the work daily, live or on demand, and it’s already pure magic. ✨ If you’ve ever felt resentment, overwhelm, or crushing mom guilt, this episode is your reminder that freedom is possible.
