In this episode, we chat with Ginger Howard about second chances, sobriety, and starting over when life feels like it’s gone off the rails. Ginger shares her story of battling alcoholism, the moment she knew she needed to change, and how community support helped her rebuild. We also dive into her journey toward healing through holistic practices, spirituality, and pageantry. It’s an honest conversation about what it really takes to want more, do the work, and manifest a new life from the ground up. Enjoy!

This week we’re talking meltdowns at Build-A-Bear, summer ‘homeschooling’ and why handing your toddler a sponge might actually be more life-changing than giving them another sticker chart.

We’re diving into what Harvard says is the actual secret to raising confident kids—While getting real about the messiness of teaching independence, the emotional rollercoaster that is raising small humans, and why sometimes your greatest parenting win is simply not losing it in public.

So grab your coffee (that’s probably been microwaved three times), take a deep breath, and come laugh with us as we talk confidence, chaos, intentions, and why motherhood is somehow the hardest—and funniest—job we’ve ever loved. Enjoy!

This week, we’re diving into the hot mess that is summer parenting. We’re talking about how to not lose our minds while still being ‘fun moms’ (with no chill). From panicking over safety like full-blown helicopter parents to reminiscing about why unstructured playtime is a vibe. We get into the myth of the perfect summer, the fear of ‘summer rot’ (it’s not what it sounds like), and how to actually make sweet memories without maxing out your credit card or your patience. It’s sticky popsicle hands, endless snack requests, and plenty of Summer fun. Enjoy!

On this episode, we kick things off with a fun but important chat inspired by @twolittlestolove’s viral reel; yes, we’re talking beach and pool toy manners! Because let’s be honest, teaching our kids how to play respectfully in public spaces is one of those small-but-mighty life skills that sets the tone for lifelong kindness and boundaries. Then we dive into a conversation about homeschooling; what it looks like for our families, what we’ve learned along the way, and how we’re weaving values like self-worth, emotional regulation, and curiosity into the heart of our children’s education. Whether you’re homeschooling full-time, after-schooling, or just curious about what a values-based approach to learning looks like, this one’s for you. Enjoy!

On this episode we’re diving deep and keeping it real—from those flawless filtered selfies to navigating the toddler birthday party pressure. First up, let’s spill the tea on those cringe-worthy moments when we see ourselves in distorted looking photos and the ‘minor’ touch-ups we make in editing. Next, we’re tackling the whirlwind of birthday party chaos: from that picture-perfect balloon arch to the inevitable overthinking of goody bags. We’ll explore the weighty expectations we mamas place on ourselves to conjure up magic for our little ones. Magic moments of Memorial Day weekend, (spoiler: the bubble machine is definitely stealing the spotlight). And just when you thought we’d keep it light, we’re throwing in a twist of true crime: yes, we’re finally unpacking the New England serial killer who’s been making headlines—why this one feels so unsettlingly close to home and possibly just… luteal. Enjoy!

We’ll tackle the fun chaos of real life with our little ones, dig into the significance of summer safety (because we know summer is basically one big playground hazard), and shine a light on how a little kindness between moms can go a long way.

Plus, we’re chatting about the weight of generational trauma and how it impacts parenting today. Tune in for a #MomTok conversation that'll leave you feeling empowered to nurture both your kids' hearts and your own! Enjoy!

On this episode, we dive into seven tips to help you feel your absolute best this Summer – get ready for a ‘hot mom Summer’! Sonia opens up about her journey with postpartum swelling and highlights the importance of lymph node drainage for new moms, especially after a C-section. We discuss diet and exercise strategies tailored for women in their late thirties and early forties, as inspired by Sonia’s Massage Therapist. From exploring alternative eating styles found in several ‘blue zone’ countries to embracing the concept of preloading from Dr. McDougall’s Maximum Weight Loss Program, we’re covering it all! And if you find yourself feeling like none of that is doing the trick… well, there’s always fasting or Ozempic! (Just kidding, of course!)
