Hi hi there lil mama!! We are SO excited for today's episode. We talk about managing summer expectations, and how we are trying to enjoy this summer season WITHOUT the pressure of feeling like we have to provide the "perfect" summer for our kid(s). What are some things that you're embracing this summer to help you level expectations, and let loose and have a great time?

Hi lil mama! In today’s episode, we have a guest, Corinne Brubaker, who is a mom, an entrepreneur running her own local at-home bakery, triathlon athlete, full-time work-from-home mom, and so much more! We asked Corinne what her process is from goal making, to goal achieving, and how she does it! She really is the Lil Mama That Could, and we can’t wait for you to hear her story and how she keeps going, even when she feels unmotivated.

Oh hey, hey lil mama!! We are SO glad you're here today. In today's episode, we talk about parting with the ideals of living in survival mode, mom guilt, perfectionism, and leaning into the face that your best, is good enough.

Hey lil mama!!

In today's episode, we open up about how the last 6 months of podcasting is going, how we tried to start a podcast years ago and failed, and how sometimes God puts things on our hearts, not because we're suppose to do it right then and there, hence the failed attempt to become podcaster YEARS ago, but that doesn't mean we give them up. It sometimes means we need to wait for better/God's timing.

Tell us YOUR dreams on our socials!! We will be your BIGGEST hype girls.

Hey lil mama!

In today's episode we chit-chat about how postpartum is going for Mikaela, being 2.5 weeks postpartum (when episode was recorded). We touch on how Mikaela is doing physically and mentally, how she's been able to manage and handle this forth trimester, and how she's had to pivot in her homeschooling journey to accommodate getting school done with her kiddos, but also not put all the pressure on herself to do it all.

Hi lil mama!

Today's hosts are Kirsten and Brooke + Keith Hibbard, and in this episode we chat about how they met, dated and married (all within 4-5 months (when you know, you know)), how they left extended family in Washington, to move to Texas for an accelerated paramedic program, how their family has grown since moving, and how they manage and make the best of life with their untraditional work schedule!

Hey there lil mama! In today's episode, Mikaela shares her unmedicated birth story of her 4th, land final baby. She touches on how she dealt with prodromal labor, her water spontaneously breaking at home, and how she was able to make it through 2 minute long, intense contractions, and how her doctor stormed out of the delivery room moments before she gave birth.

This birth story is one for the books, so grab your favorite drink, snack and tissues, because we definitely got emotional.
