| Living a Marriage Centered Life | 14 Sep 2026 | 00:39:40 | |
What happens when our children become the center of our marriage, our home, and our entire family life? Collectively, as a society, we are obsessed with our children. Somewhere along the way, child-centered parenting became the cultural default. But what if putting your marriage first is actually one of the best things you can do for your children? Follow us and join the conversation as Season 4 of Mother’s Path Podcast kicks off with a topic that hits home. We welcome you!

| this is why your baby won’t sleep | 30 Mar 2026 | 00:35:46 | |
PS. Babies learn to sleep the same way they learn everything else. Through relationships. Through watching you wind down. Through shared rhythm. Through a home that ebbs and flows with natural light, evening slowness, and nervous system safety. Sleep isn’t trained into them. It’s modeled. This season’s finale is about being the grown woman in the room. Putting on your big girl pants. Not rigid. Not frantic. Not outsourcing your intuition to an app, a tracker, or a schedule that overrides what you’re seeing in front of you. When you are steady, your baby borrows that steadiness. And over time, that steadiness becomes sleep. Thanks for listening to this season!

| beyond the tie: tongue ties and transformation | 23 Mar 2026 | 00:37:48 | |
In this episode, we consider the connection between tongue ties and maternal rigidity. We explore the idea that tension shows up in more places than we think. In our nervous systems, in feeding dynamics, and sometimes even in tissue. While tongue ties are anatomical and real, we discuss how breastfeeding struggles are often layered: body, baby, birth, and the emotional resistance to being changed by motherhood.

| the victim triangle in motherhood | 16 Mar 2026 | 00:26:52 | |
In this episode, we explore the victim triangle and how it shows up in motherhood. Sometimes, without realizing it, we place our children in the role of “the problem.” They’re too sensitive. Too wild. Too anxious. Too behind. Too much. And in doing so, we unintentionally step into a dynamic where the issue lives inside them rather than examining the environment, the expectations, or our own patterns. Our children are not design flaws to fix. They are mirrors, messengers, and developing humans responding to the ecosystems we help create. If you’ve ever felt stuck in cycles of frustration, this conversation invites you to gently turn the focus inward. Not to criticize yourself, but to remember where your agency lives.

| aging gracefully | 09 Mar 2026 | 00:41:31 | |
In this episode, we talk about aging. Not as something to fight, but something to step into. Learn how we picture ourselves aging and why so many of us have been taught to resist what is actually natural and inevitable. Instead of chasing youth, what would it look like to lean into age. To welcome the steadiness, the clarity, the boundaries, the deeper self-trust that often comes with it.

| crowdsourcing versus resourcing | 02 Mar 2026 | 00:34:02 | |
When something comes up in motherhood, where do you turn first? The group chat? Social media? A poll of opinions? In this episode, we talk about the difference between crowdsourcing our motherhood and resourcing ourselves. We explore how constantly seeking outside input can slowly erode a mother’s confidence and how easy it is to disconnect from our own intuition when every decision is filtered through the noise of the internet.

| luck has nothing to do with it | 23 Feb 2026 | 00:37:05 | |
We explore how intentionality compounds over time and how many of the things people call “lucky” are truly the result of quiet, consistent alignment. It is not luck, but clarity + action + embodied belief.

| rethinking the sick season | 16 Feb 2026 | 00:39:20 | |
In this episode, we challenge the narrative that children simply get sick all winter long. We explore the idea that illness isn’t a seasonal inevitability and that winter may not be the villain we’ve made it out to be. Instead, we look deeper. We explore how children are deeply responsive to their environment and especially to the nervous system of their mother. What if winter sickness is less about cold weather and more about disconnection from rhythm, rest, and regulation?

| birth sovereignty | 09 Feb 2026 | 00:37:38 | |
In our Season 3 premiere, Emily shares the story of Wally’s birth - a freebirth in the quiet of her own home, attended only by her husband while her children slept nearby. Whether you are planning a hospital birth, homebirth, exploring what autonomy in motherhood means to you, or simply curious, this conversation invites you to reflect on where your power lives. Gentle note: Freebirth is a deeply personal decision. This episode shares one woman’s lived experience and is not medical advice. Every mother deserves informed, thoughtful support in whatever setting she chooses.

| in our nature: familial roles | 19 Oct 2025 | 00:36:01 | |
This week we’re talking about our ideas around natural rhythms and roles that exist within our families - the mother as nurturer and nourisher, the father as protector and provider. Not as boxes to fit into, but as energies that bring balance and wholeness to the home. We explore what it feels like when we live within these roles, and what happens when they’re forgotten or flipped. It’s a nuanced conversation about remembering who we are sprinkled with a little bit of humor.

| no one will save you | 06 Oct 2025 | 00:45:19 | |
We are exploring what it means to truly take ownership of your life - as a woman, a mother, a creator. We are often given the message to wait for rescue, for permission, for the right moment or right person. But what if no one is coming? What if you are the one you’ve been waiting for? We talk about stepping out of the victim mindset and into radical responsibility. Reclaiming the power to shape your reality, your home, your motherhood, your days. This conversation is about remembering that everything begins and ends with you.

| when we stop pathologizing | 30 Sep 2025 | 00:47:53 | |
In this episode, we explore what it means to support our children without rushing to label, fix, or intervene. So much of modern parenting assumes that babies need constant correction or management but what if the opposite were true? Welcome to the practice of watchful waiting: a space where we step back, hold presence, and allow our little ones to reveal their own capacity to adapt and grow.

| everything is a choice, everything | 22 Sep 2025 | 00:48:47 | |
This week on Maiden’s Path, Mother’s Roots, we dive into a freeing and confronting truth: everything is a choice. We share our own stories of moments when we realized we were living in a victim mindset - and how choosing differently changed everything. From how we respond to our kids, to how we care for our bodies, to the stories we tell ourselves about what is possible. We talk about how each choice writes the next chapter of our motherhood. This episode is a call to wake up to the power you already hold. You are not at the mercy of your circumstances. You are actively creating your life, choice by choice. When you own that truth, you unlock the freedom to change how you feel, how you live, and how you mother.

Welcome back to season two of Maiden’s Path, Mother’s Roots! In this opening episode we welcome you to our living room to share stories about how our own inner state has shaped the atmosphere around us - the way the home feels, how our children respond, how we move through our days. We talk about the power mothers have to shift the “weather” in the home. This is an invitation to notice how your energy sets the tone for your family’s space, to tend to your own nervous system as a way of tending to your home, and to step into your role as the heart of the household intention.
