Mom to Mom Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Moms, we’ve all been there—the moments when we want to step in, fix everything, and control every detail of our kids’ lives. But what happens when we can’t? When their paths take unexpected turns, or their choices challenge our expectations?

In Episode 109 of the Mom to Mom Podcast, we’re diving into Embracing the Unexpected in Parenting. In this heartfelt conversation, we talk about what it really means to let go of the need to control every aspect of our children’s journeys—even when they make decisions we don’t agree with. It’s about learning to surrender in all seasons of their lives, trusting that God is at work, even when the path looks different than we imagined.

From trusting God’s plan to finding peace in the challenges we never saw coming, we’ll share practical tips on how to release control and allow God to work through the unexpected. 1 Peter 5:7

If you’ve ever struggled with letting go, this episode is for you. We explore how to support our children with love and faith, without micromanaging their lives—because surrendering them to God’s care can lead to a deeper peace for us, too.

Tune in for real talk, encouragement, and a reminder that we don’t have to have all the answers to trust in God’s perfect plan.

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." -Philippians 4:6-7

We are living in a world of quick fixes and instant everything.  In just a few clicks, we can have nearly anything we want in less than 24 hours. We want it fast, and we want it now. 

But God isn’t in a hurry, and as we grow in our relationship with Him, we have to learn to trust His timing in everything, no matter how long it takes.

As moms, how do we resist the urge to expect immediate results in both our spiritual lives and with parenting our kids?

How do we model it, teaching them to trust God’s timing?

Our culture is speeding up, but He’s calling us to slow down and do the opposite of what the world is doing.

So, how do we learn to slow down and trust His timing in a world shouting at us to hurry up? 

Join Kate, September, and Jamie as we share what has helped us develop spiritual patience and endurance for the long haul of parenting.

Our culture in general seems obsessed with the idea of "hustle." But for some of us, a side hustle can make all the difference in meeting our desire to stay-at-home with our kids as well as providing additional income or bringing personal satisfaction in an area of interest outside of motherhood.

Listen as Jamie, Kate and September delve into the topic of side-hustles (specifically for stay-at-home moms) and share insights and practical tips on how to balance family life and side-hustles, as well as how to identify profitable opportunities that may be better suited than others to you and your family.

As always, we’d love to connect with you! Join the conversation on Instagram and Facebook. 

It’s that time of year again! When we line up backpacks, lunch bags, piles of notebooks and return to a routine of academia, more structure and new beginnings for our kids. Back to School Season always brings a mix of emotions for moms. We're excited to have more routine after some much-needed summer flexibility. We're happy to see our kids back to learning and growing and we crave the newness of another school year.

The busyness of fall will be here before you know it. And while you won’t be able to control every part of those chaotic days, you can take charge of a few things. You can control what you can control. Meal planning is one of those easy wins. By just putting a few systems in place, you can not only save your sanity, but also your time, your budget, and in some ways, your waistline and health because a plan will help you eliminate the need to eat out or eat easy.

We all know a great and godly marriage takes work. And it's also fair to say that motherhood is a full-time job of its own as well. It's a delicate balance. How DO we find the time, the space, the energy, and the focus to keep both relationships healthy and strong? Is it possible?

As the old saying goes, “More is caught than taught.” And there aren't too many examples of that proverb that carry more weight than character. Mamas, whether we want to admit it or not, little eyes are watching us. And they are going to parrot back, not just what we say, but what we do. So it goes without saying that if we want to raise kids with character, we have to lead by example.

It’s summer, school is out, and now it’s your chance, mama, to take a little “me” time. You’ve been making lunches, carpooling, driving the kids to soccer or ballet or violin lessons or whatever your children might be interested in every week for months on end so, not having to drive endlessly every day is a blessing! However, summer can become just as busy as the school year. We're hoping you’ll have some time to yourself over the next couple of months.

Mothering is no easy task. It requires much of you and can often leave you feeling overworked, understaffed, and pulled at every angle. But couple the never-ending job of mothering with an introverted personality--a personality that craves alone time in quiet spaces--and you add extra layers of guilt, frustration, and overwhelm.

Your children are growing up. They’re heading out of the nest soon and all those years of love and sacrifice, cooking and cleaning, disciplining and discipling, yelling and listening are coming to an unceremonious end. This is your invitation to Act 2, to Motherhood: The After Party.
