16. Is Marriage Worth It for Women? Feat. Yvette Henry
Marriage can be beautiful, fulfilling, stretching, and deeply intimate, but it is not something I can honestly talk about for women without also talking about the risk, the labor, and the reality of what so many wives are carrying. In this conversation, I sit down with Yvette Henry to talk about what 15 years of marriage has taught her, why she still believes marriage can be worth it, and why I st
15. The Mental Load Is the Invisible Job with Paige Connell of @SheIsAPaigeTurner
There is a kind of exhaustion that does not come from doing one more load of laundry or packing one more lunch – it comes from being the person who knows everything that needs to happen before anyone else even thinks to ask.

14. Unpacking Church Trauma & Refusing to Raise my Daughters in Shame
I grew up in the church. I prayed, I read my Bible, I believed God was the reason my family survived some of the hardest things we ever went through. Faith grounded me, especially as a refugee kid trying to make sense of losing everything and starting over. But I also grew up hearing that my body was a problem, that my value lived in my virginity, that motherhood was my highest calling, and that m

11. The Government Doesn't Care About Mothers… So We Built Our Own Village
This episode is me saying the quiet part out loud: you are not struggling because you’re doing motherhood wrong. You’re struggling because there is no real support system built for you.

Mothers who are doing everything “right,” working,
10. Spanking IS Child Abuse
Hitting your child is abuse. It doesn't matter if you call it spanking, whooping, or "a little pat."

6. Having Kids IS Selfish (And That’s Okay) | Why Being Child-Free Is Sometimes the Selfless Choice
We keep hearing that the birth rate is falling, the economy is panicking, and somehow the solution lives in women’s bodies. In this episode, I’m saying the quiet part out loud: every reason to have children is selfish -- and that’s not a bad thing. As a mother of four, I unpack why choosing not to have children is not selfish at all, but often an act of self-preservation. Through my own birth stor

2. More Than a Paycheck: What a Modern Provider Actually Looks Like feat. Julien Lane
If you have a great relationship with your father, I bet that the thing that’s most important to you about that bond isn’t that he provided for your family financially.
