  • The Power Of One Small Win
    2025/07/02

    Hi lil mama!! In today's episode we talk about the power of one small day, and how it's sometimes really easy, or a default to give our power and focus to the little things that bring us down. But what if we changed the story we're telling ourselves, and put that power and focus on the simple, small things, and allowed ourselves to change that narrative to fuel those small wins? Tell us in the comments what your small wins are right now!!

  • Dreams Don’t Expire: A 6-Month Check-In
    2025/05/26

    Hey lil mama!!

    In today's episode, we open up about how the last 6 months of podcasting is going, how we tried to start a podcast years ago and failed, and how sometimes God puts things on our hearts, not because we're suppose to do it right then and there, hence the failed attempt to become podcaster YEARS ago, but that doesn't mean we give them up. It sometimes means we need to wait for better/God's timing.


    Tell us YOUR dreams on our socials!! We will be your BIGGEST hype girls.

  • How Mikaela's Postpartum Is Going
    2025/05/12

    Hey lil mama!


    In today's episode we chit-chat about how postpartum is going for Mikaela, being 2.5 weeks postpartum (when episode was recorded). We touch on how Mikaela is doing physically and mentally, how she's been able to manage and handle this forth trimester, and how she's had to pivot in her homeschooling journey to accommodate getting school done with her kiddos, but also not put all the pressure on herself to do it all.
