What started out as a light-hearted chat about Beth and Emily's differing feeding choices turned into a moving -- and at times surprising -- discussion with other mothers about the pressures women encounter when it comes to feeding journeys during the baby stage.
Moms -- who live and breath this every day and who devote themselves to raising their kids the best ways they can -- chat about their experiences of parenting a child with a ADHD diagnosis.
In this episode, Beth shares candidly about her 20-year journey with mental health challenges. Emily talks too about how grief triggered panic attacks in her life. It's a powerful episode, and one we think many can relate to.
It's magical and a mile marker -- in your child's life and yours. Beth and Emily -- and a few call-in friends -- share some secrets they wish they knew before the big kindergarten year. Take a listen!
In this episode, we hear from Stephanie, who is an accomplished professional, community supporter, and a mother of two. She is also a Black woman.
Another year of Momfessions Podcast is in the books. Beth and Emily revisit the top five most popular episodes -- one by one in surprise style.
I mean, how long do we have? If EVER there was a loaded question, it is this one: What did you learn in 2020?
So many topics come up: Unspoken gender roles, cultural demands on moms, juggling childcare, budget issues, and more. We could fill 10 episodes with our thoughts and feelings on this subject! Take a listen and share yours with us.
The adoption community and conversation is changing rapidly, especially during the last three years or so. The ladies talk about this and more, including how to create opportunities for your kids to talk about adoption and giving power back to the triad members.
Beth and Emily -- and a few friends -- discuss how they are handling (or not handling) the holidays this year. We also talk about an upcoming VIRTUAL EVENT happening on November 7 from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.. It's Home for the Holidays :: A Virtual Moms Night In.
Ever wonder what the youngest of four, the oldest of five, and an only child might have to say about birth order? You are about to find out in this episode! Birth order not only impacts your family dynamics, but it also impacts the way you parent, interact with extended family, and more.
Here's a little taste of what we talk about: "Our disciplinary reasons and methods have shifted from 'let's change the behavior so that everyone is comfortable' to 'let's look at what we're doing and how it impacts the people around us.'"
"Food is a big deal" is our favorite quote from episode 31. And we spend our time talking about it and how food impacts our emotions and relationships.
Guess what? Beth and Emily noticed the stress and strain from the pandemic started impacting their gynecologic health, so they called on a friend and longtime Fort Worth Moms supporter, Dr. Jamie Erwin of Vivi Women's health, to help. And by help, we mean answer all of their questions. ;-)
Beth and Emily chose different schooling options for their kids. They talk about this civilly. They are still friends. Be like Beth and Emily. ;-)
"My kids will never have food on their face in public" and other statements made loudly and confidently prior to kids . . . that's what episode 28 is allll about. Beth and Emily dish on the many times they have "eaten their words" since becoming a mom.
Pioneer parent and team member Heather chats with Momfessions in this episode all about social media safety for our kids.
Join Beth and Emily -- wherever you are on this road and where they are -- to journey together . . . and to commit to learn more about how to dismantle racism in and through our parenting.
Summer traditions keep us sane. They are the serving as the center point of familiarity we can all gather around this summer. Yes, some traditions, like out-of-town vacations, may be paused or look different in 2020, but there are many traditions holding true -- even in the middle of the pandemic.
This episode is a bit longer than typical for Momfessions, but it is an important one that reflects on the generational damage caused by abuse and the hope cycle breakers can bring. It's not an easy question to answer -- how can you parent well after surviving abuse -- but it's one paramount to explore.
