Junk Drawer Mamas: Sorting through the drama and trauma of extreme parenting to find hope, healing and a side of humor.

Welcome to Junk Drawer Mamas – where we’re sorting through the drama and trauma of extreme parenting to find hope, healing, and a side of humor. This is the place for moms who are feeling the weight of parenting challenges that go beyond the ordinary, the extreme parenting circumstances. Whether you're dealing with special needs, behavior struggles, mental illness, trauma, foster care or any of the countless unique challenges that come with raising a family in extreme situations, this podcast is for you.

In Junk Drawer Mamas, we see the “junk drawer” as the place where hidden struggles live – the worries, hurts, and unmet needs that we often push aside or feel too overwhelmed or embarrassed to address. But just like those cluttered drawers, what we keep hidden can’t be healed. Join us as we unpack the “junk” of our lives to uncover hope, faith, and the strength that only comes from facing what’s been tucked away.

This is a safe space where you’ll find stories you can relate to – the kind that make you feel seen, heard, and understood. Co-hosts Deena Trocino and Christina Queen share their journeys, faith, and, yes, even some laughter as they talk openly about the messiness of life, parenthood, marriage, and the healing we find in Christ. Together, we will unpack that drawer and discover the joy, strength, and grace we need to parent from a place of peace, joy, and purpose.
