• 428: What Fashion Taught Me About Motherhood (Yes, Really!) // Julie Allen

  I've never considered myself a person who cares about fashion or "style" so when I first stumbled across Julie Allen on Instagram, I didn’t expect to stick around. But something about the way she talked about clothes felt different. It was kind, approachable, and freeing. Julie teaches women how to embrace style tools instead of style rules, and as I listened to her, I realized how much that philosophy overlaps with how I think about motherhood. There’s no one right way to be a mom—or to get dressed. It’s about finding what fits you and building a life you love from there. Julie is a mom of six and a style educator who’s passionate about helping women reconnect with themselves through the way they show up each day. In this episode, she shares three style principles that double as beautiful life lessons for moms—and they might just shift the way you think about both your wardrobe and your parenting. We’ll talk about: ✨ How to use style (and motherhood) tools instead of rigid rules ✨ Why you’re allowed to express different parts of yourself—on any given day ✨ The importance of building your motherhood on a foundation of your core values Whether or not you’ve ever cared much about fashion, this episode will help you feel more confident in showing up as you.

• 427: A Simple Framework for a "Balanced" Summer // Jenny Layton

  As moms, summer can feel like both a dream and a juggling act. We want to make magical memories for our families… but we also crave order, rest, and a little bit of time for ourselves. So, how do we actually find balance in the chaos of summer break?   In this episode, I’m joined by Jenny Layton—professional organizer, time management coach, and mom of five—who shares a beautifully simple framework that will change the way you think about your summer rhythm.

• 426: What to Do When You Don't Like Your Kid (Even Though You Love Them!)

  This is one of those episodes I felt called to record because I know so many of us have been here. You love your child with your whole heart, and yet, in certain seasons, you find yourself thinking, I just don’t like them very much right now.   That doesn’t make you a bad mom. It makes you human.   In this solo episode, I’m sharing three tools that have helped me move through those really hard parenting stretches—when one child is pushing every button I have—and find my way back to affection, connection, and even joy.   We’ll talk about:   💜 How your child’s “hardest” traits may actually be their biggest strengths in disguise 💜 Why the words you say about your child (even when they’re not around) can shape how you see them 💜 What to do when your child is constantly seeking negative attention—and how you can gently redirect that cycle   I’ll also tell you about a simple mindset shift that changed the way I experience motherhood—plus the journaling tool I created to help me live it out day by day.   If you’re in a tough season with one of your kids, I hope this episode feels like sitting down with a trusted friend who truly gets it—and who can gently offer some ideas for how to keep going.   For full show notes, including takeaways, click here. *** Announcements: Don’t forget, the Flecks of Gold Journal is on sale now through Mother’s Day.

• 425: When PARENTING Doesn't Turn Out As Planned // Michelle Barrow

  What happens when your child's story looks nothing like the one you had imagined? This heartfelt encore episode features my dear friend, Michelle Barrow—a mother of four and grandmother of six—who generously shares the wisdom she’s gained from raising teenagers and supporting her adult children through life’s unexpected twists. This conversation is a powerful companion to last week’s episode with author Jessica N. Turner on moving forward when life doesn’t turn out as planned. In this episode, Michelle invites us into her journey of learning how to let go of rigid expectations, make room for her children’s evolving identities, and parent from a place of trust rather than fear. In this conversation, you'll hear: 💜 Why “parenting formulas” don’t guarantee outcomes—and how letting go of expectations can lead to more peace and joy. 💜 What it looks like to change the rules mid-parenting, and how doing so can strengthen trust and relationships within your family. 💜 How to stay rooted in your values while giving your children the freedom to shape their own stories. 💜 And ultimately, how you can find peace and steadiness in parenting, even when things don’t go as planned. Whether you're parenting toddlers or teens, this episode will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and encouraged to embrace the beautifully imperfect journey of motherhood.
