WE'RE BACK!!! So let's catch up on life and look at the other side of grieving and learn things not to say to someone who is grieving. HAPPY 50Th EPISODE!

At some point in our mental health journey, we feel like we are alone but I'm here to set the record straight and remind you that you're never alone.

Sometimes life just comes and smacks you right in the face and you need to just let out the steam. So come on in and enjoy us as we spill our tea and ask life, "WTF?"

Who doesn’t love a good holiday story this time of year? It is also a great way to relate with one another that you and your family aren’t the only bunches of crazies on the block.

We had such an intense last month of episodes that we thought we would try another segment on y’all.  Things you didn’t know….or random facts. However, you would like to say it.  Enjoy this fun episode and let us know which fact was your favorite!   #momsmentalcheckinpodcast #randomfacts #funepisode

It has been a hot minute since you have heard from just the two of us! So of course a little check-in is in store. Let's hang out and check-in on life and all its glory it has to bring us in “Things to be thankful for.”

Join us in kicking off the month of November for “Things to be thankful for.” Joining us is our friend Sara who is sharing her version of mom which includes homeschooling, and raising her children in the church, and a lot of love.

Join us as we close out the “Spooky side of Motherhood” and bring back Season 2's guest of  “Independent Women” month, Crystal!  Tonight we welcome back Crystal. This time as she will walk us through her journey of infant loss and self-recovery.  Motherhood can be scary, and if we don’t share all sides of it, we will never realize that we aren't alone in our experiences.  You can also listen to her journey as a Doula here: https://www.podbean.com/pu/pbblog-n3gwe-9dde17

This week we continue our month of "Spooky side of motherhood" with our good friend Karla. Karla has two amazing children with two very different needs.  Follow her journey of motherhood as we talk about all the things that have made it a wild ride.

Motherhood is more than just being a parent. It is also being a partner, and much like motherhood, not all relationship journeys look the same. Join us as we talk with Liz Ponce and her journey into motherhood as a same-sex partner with a surprise transition that would bring their little family even closer.  You can listen to her amazing story here with us @momsmentalcheckin  and follow her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrslizponce/ and TikTok: @MamaPonce15

We are kicking off the month of October for the scary side of Motherhood and talking about all the different journeys to get there. Also, we are starting season 3!! So exciting! We have a very dear friend of ours, Angie to start us off with her journey through IUI for her second pregnancy. Also a very unique kind of water birth. So grab your snacks because you're in for a treat with all the surprises in her story!

We all process things a little differently. We may not do it in the same order, but the emotions that are generally involved are Empathy, Guilt, and the golden one, Forgiveness. Listen in while Bri shares her personal experiences with these emotions and how she is learning how to navigate and understand them better.  If you haven't listen to Bri's back story you can do so at  https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-did7a-fa3670   Make Sure to follow us and leave your thoughts! www.momsmentalcheckin.com

What is a Mother Hustler….? No not just some sort of silly name we like to use all the time!! There's a meaning behind it.  There is so much more to a side hustle for mothers today!  It isn’t just baking cookies for a bake sale. It is time money and hours put into striving to succeed to help contribute to your family. Join us and listen in as we deep dive into what really makes up a mother who is working a small business.

Okay calm down you aren’t a bad parent if you say your kid is a A-hole. We all know they are little kids and they somewhat don’t know any better, but we need to learn to laugh at our misery and share it with others so they know they aren’t alone. So join us for some fun while we share some of our stories as well as some of our followers!   Follow for more www.momsmentalcheckin.com

We all dreamt about what kind of Mom we would be someday. Bri thought she would be a full-blown Hippie mom and Lida had some serious Pinterest goals! Join us talking about how we thought it would be and the reality of what Motherhood is really like. Follow us for more! Don't forget to leave us a review!  www.momsmentalcheckin.com

No one likes it and we all have to do it, so why can’t people be more transparent about it and help pave a path for those following. Sit down and listen to us talk about all the hidden little gems of adulting we are learning to adapt too, and accept more than anything.   Follow us www.momsmentalcheckin.com

It's been a while since we had a one on one! We are being true to our name in this episode and... well... Checking in with each other! We both have been trying to pull ourselves out of the water lately and we feel that you should hear our struggles as much as you hear of our triumphs. We want to be raw and real and mental health affects us tremendously throughout our lives and the whole point is to show you guys that you're not alone. We hope you enjoy our rants! lol   Dont forget to leave those reviews, share with your friends, follow and interact with our social media!   www.momsmentalcheckin.com

Join us as we talk with one of our closest friends, Nichole, as we help her unfold where her passion all started. We are excited for you to learn (what we've always known) about what never giving up looks like. We see the passion, drive, and strength that she pours into her business every day and it's an honor to know how she did it all from the ground up. She shares with us why it's important to never give up and that you never know what your gonna get until you start digging into it.

We always say we want our kids to be whomever they want to be, but what happens when those decisions are life-changing? How do you support them in their decisions without inputting your own opinion? How do we advocate for them?   Let's take a journey with our good friend Cat as she talks to us about everything from her marriage and how they saved it, to helping advocate for their child who is transgender. Her story is inspiring and we hope you love it as much as we do!   Follow for more at: www.momsmentalcheckin.com

There are so many different versions of Mom. We can’t know all the ends and outs of others, so what better way to get to know them and share their stories than…have them on the podcast!   Now, this guest is far from a stranger for us matter a fact we have come to learn it is one of Bri’s oldest friends!   Our dear real-life best friend Mikaela was an active duty Air Force ……. for … years and was honorably discharged due to injuries.   She has so much more to share than crazy war stories and how she got harmed. There is so much more to the world of being in the service as a woman/wife/mother than meets the eye.
