  • Great last episode!

    Loved the last episode of Marriage & Motherhood. The conversation about postpartum felt honest and reassuring.

    I appreciated how the episode encouraged parents to trust themselves, ask for support, and give themselves grace during such a tender season. Very grounding and encouraging, especially for new moms. - Wouter/Avani

  • Safe and Supportive Space for Women

    So glad I found this podcast! It addresses many of this issues I face around marriage, parenting & care, the questions I have no one else to ask, and makes me feel part of a community as opposed to alone in my struggles. Michelle interviews an excellent variety of truly helpful guests, and the conversations are honest and so, so helpful. 💛

  • INSIGHTFUL & PRACTICAL

    Michelle has a way of sharing her immense knowledge so that you leave with a golden nugget of both insight and a practical tool to use right away from her toolbox. She truly is a generous and kind host, and I would expect her coaching to be kind and practical as well. I wish this podcast existed in the earlier years of my marriage!

  • Just what this boy momma needed

    Love how Michelle and her guests share how to keep the communication lines open in a way that grows our marriages despite what trials come (as they will) when raising kiddos. If you’re a fellow special needs mom, check out #107 and if you’re a fellow boy mom, #142 is what you need!

Ep. 285 - How To Stop Overthinking Everything In Motherhood Using Human Design with MaKenzie Byram
Q: How has human design changed your approach to parenting and communicating with your kids?
She notes that recognizing each child's defined and undefined centers helps tailor conversations and expectations, reducing conflict and supporting each child's unique needs.
Ep. 285 - How To Stop Overthinking Everything In Motherhood Using Human Design with MaKenzie Byram
Q: Can you share what human design is and how it differs from traditional personality tests?
MaKenzie explains that human design uses birth data to map energy centers and decision-making flows, offering a more precise framework than subjective personality tests, and emphasizes its integration with nervous system regulation for real-life applicability.
Ep. 283 - How To Adapt To Your Changing Metabolism In Perimenopause with Emily Erb
Q: Is macro counting the same as counting calories, and what are macros?
Macros are proteins, fats, and carbohydrates; tracking them alongside total calories helps create awareness and intentional fueling, but you can focus on calories and protein if you prefer a simpler approach.
Ep. 281 - From People-Pleasing to Self-Trust in Motherhood with Taylor Nosakhere
Q: What practical steps can listeners take to start trusting themselves more in daily life?
Begin with journaling prompts to articulate desired feelings and life outcomes, track recurring nudges toward big changes, experiment with small risks to prove to yourself you can handle growth, and learn your human design authority to tailor decision-making processes to your natural style.
Ep. 281 - From People-Pleasing to Self-Trust in Motherhood with Taylor Nosakhere
Q: How can someone discern intuition from fear or external pressures?
Notice the difference between decisions driven by fear (which often aim to avoid danger or discomfort) and those that arise from a deep sense of alignment with your values and vision for your life. If a choice consistently aligns with long-term well-being and authenticity, it's likely intuitive; if it's driven by FOMO or external expectations, it may be fear or social pressure.
