Become A Calm Mama

I'm the host of the Become a Calm Mama podcast, which is a podcast that is all about parenting and mama mindset and how to get calm and how to get your kids to listen and how to stop feeling like a piece of crap parent. 

I love that podcast! And I'm going to keep teaching you how to parent and show up as the mom that you want to be week after week.

As much as I love talking about parenting, I also love talking about so many other things that I'm interested in. 

So I decided to start a NEW segment on the Become A Calm Mama podcast called Calm Mama Confessions. 

On episodes of Calm Mama Confessions, you’ll hear me share things that have been on my mind that are outside of parenting.

Calm Mama Confessions is the place where I’ll dive into different experiences I’ve had, things I’m learning, life-situations I’m working though. 

Some examples could be:

Marriage: I've been in a long marriage, and so I've learned a lot about being married. I've been married for twenty seven years so there’s A LOT of wisdom to share about that (and a lot of mistakes). The first episode is all about a BIG FIGHT Kevin and I just had over Thanksgiving about mashed potatoes. 

Recovering From Childhood Trauma:  I also want to go into my backstory a little bit and share how I’ve recovered from a variety of childhood traumas - things I’ve alluded to on the podcast - but haven’t discussed throughout. Like what it meant to have experienced sexual abuse as a child, to experience abandonment, to grow up with a mother who was clinically depressed but untreated, to be poor, tons of stuff around that. 

Empty Nest & Aging: I now have young adult children, and so I'm thinking about what it means to be an empty nester or a roomier nester. I'm going through menopause, and so I'm talking about hormones with my friends and all the physical changes we're experiencing.

Disordered Eating/Body Stuff: As most of you know, I’m in recovery from an eating disorder, so I think a lot about diet and my body and body image and how to heal myself from that.

I also love talking about homemaking and money and travel and goals and dreams. In an upcoming episode I share all about my No Buy/Low Buy commitment for 2025. I’ve always got a new goal or challenge or situation I’m diving into. 

Expect to hear about whatever is going on in my life or whatever experiences I've had or things I've been thinking about that I think might help you feel less alone.

There will be a ton of random topics!

Also, you won’t just be hearing from me! 

I’ve had so many amazing conversations with my friends over the years that have changed me, that have informed me, that have helped me grow or understand something about myself. That’s why I'm inviting some of my dearest friends to be on this new podcast to talk with me about a variety of topics. 

This is the podcast for you…

• If you love storytelling…
• if you love listening to people's back stories...
• If you love the journey of how someone became who they are today..
• If you love self-help…
• If you love learning from me…
• If you're outside the parenting stage and you're finding it hard to relate to some of the things I'm sharing about on the regular podcast…

New episodes will drop whenever I feel like it. There won't be a regular schedule so be sure to subscribe to the podcast to get notified of new episodes of Com Mama Confessions. 

I hope Calm Mama Confessions brings you a smile, a laugh, a big AHA, and is an inspiration to become more and more YOU everyday.
