In this season, we'll dive into important topics like burnout, toxic habits, homeschooling, and more! Tune in every other week to join the conversation—I'm thrilled to be back and can't wait to connect with all of you amazing mamas!

This summer, let's release some of those high mama expectations and take a moment to slow down, savoring the time spent with our kids and family.
Don't let worries about body image hold you back from enjoying outdoor fun—wear the bathing suit and embrace the joy of the moment! We only get so many summers with our children, and this phase is fleeting.
As a testament to this, this will be the last episode for now, as I'm taking the summer off to practice what I preach and dedicate time to my family.
Follow along on social media for updates on when "Mama, You’re Doing Great" returns in August!CONNECT WITH HOST:

For many mama's, the daily grind of their jobs can start to feel suffocating, as they long for a different, more fulfilling life. This longing often leads to exploring alternatives, like homeschooling, in search of a more purposeful and connected way of living.
However, even in this pursuit, challenges may arise, leading some to eventually decide to stop homeschooling...like Alexia.
Through these transitions, there's a powerful journey of moving beyond fear and finding comfort in faith, trusting in God's guidance and wisdom throughout the highs and lows of motherhood.

Overcoming the urge to compare and judge ourselves as women and mama's requires a shift in perspective towards empathy and understanding.
Recognizing that we don't know the struggles and challenges others are facing allows us to cultivate a supportive and compassionate environment.
Each woman and mama is navigating her unique journey, filled with joys and difficulties, and extending a hand of support instead of judgment can create a community of empowerment and solidarity.
Mama's we've got to remember that we are all going through something, and by offering empathy and support, we can build a community of kindness and strength.

Mari Leckel embodies a deep passion for guiding, educating, and empowering families through the transformative phases of pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.
Having experienced the challenging journey of infertility herself, she felt compelled to extend the same level of unwavering support she received to new and expecting mothers and parents.
Everyone's journey is different... but every mother and family deserve to be educated, encouraged, and empowered with non-judgmental and unconditional support.
We discuss what the differences are in midwife and doula, and how valuable each role is and how they harmoniously collaborate.
Mamas, get ready to fall in love with Mari and this episode!!

"Why won't you sleep?!"
Sleep advice often overlooks the diverse needs of parents and their children, failing to account for varying temperaments and challenges. And we can just take a moment to acknowledge that there is SO much advice out there??
Raising a child who is intense, sensitive, alert, and persistent can present unique difficulties, but it also brings remarkable strengths. The presumed research backing traditional sleep training methods often lacks comprehensive evidence and ignores individual differences.
Mama's, it's time to shift our perspective on sleep training, embracing approaches that honor each child's temperament and family dynamics!! Encouraging moms of strong-willed children to explore alternative strategies that suit their child's needs fosters a sense of empowerment and community, reminding them they are not alone in this journey.

It's completely normal to feel like you're falling short at times, but remember...
Mama you ARE doing great!Giving yourself and others grace during these moments of self-doubt is crutial; NONE of us are perfect, and that's okay. Every stumble is a chance to learn and grow, to "shake it off" and pivot towards a new direction.
Embrace the journey, knowing that it's the small steps forward that lead to progress and fulfillment.

As a former elementary teacher and now a children's book author, Lauren Piland's passion for sparking conversations through books aligns perfectly with the goal of encouraging mothers to engage with their children on important topics.
Using resources like her books allows mothers to dive deeper into discussions and explore complex emotions and situations in a relatable and age-appropriate manner.
We can use all the help we can get, am I right mama's?
These discussions not only reinforce positive behaviors but also foster a strong bond between mothers and children built on trust, understanding, and open communication.

Mamas we often cherish and celebrate their children's first milestones with immense joy and excitement...
However, amidst the flurry of firsts, it's equally crucial to savor and be fully present for the lasts.
The last time a child reaches for your hand, the last bedtime story, or the last hug before they outgrow your lap are moments that hold profound significance.
These fleeting lasts remind us of the transient nature of time and the importance of relishing every precious moment, for we never truly know when the last time will come, leaving behind cherished memories that we'll forever hold dear.

In today's world, the concept of being a "super mom" has become oh so trendy, with the societal expectations to excel in every aspect of motherhood.
No pressure, right?
However, amidst the hustle and bustle, it's essential to remember the 3 L's:
-Love
-Listen
-Lean
By prioritizing love in all actions, listening to our children's and our needs, and leaning on God and support networks when necessary, we can strive to be the best mamas we can be, embracing imperfection WHILE celebrating the journey of motherhood.

I am breaking free from lying to other people because I’m afraid of what they’re going to say or think…and you should too!
Mama, you don’t owe anyone an explanation of what you do, how you raise your kids, or decisions you make for YOUR family.
It’s so easy to get caught in the trap of people pleasing because you’re afraid you’re going to offend someone.
Let’s dust our hands from this unrealistic expectation that anyone has it all together.
It’s EXHAUSTING.
Here’s my tips:
- Change the narrative about yourself
- Be honest with other people

In the depths of grief from a young age, a traumatic NICU journey, and the dark shadows of depression, Lacy shares what ultimately got her through it all...God.
Losing her dad at the tender age of 10 plunged her into a sea of grief, a sorrow that would later morph into a deep, dark depression as she navigated the complexities of growing up. In the depths of despair, she found solace by surrendering it ALL to the Lord, trusting in his guidance to lift the weight she couldn't carry alone.
As life unfolded, the NICU became another chapter. This time, choosing to lean on God, allowing His strength to carry her through the uncertainties, instead of trying to do it on her own.

Mama, grieving the past can be an overwhelming journey, navigating the loss of former identities, dreams, or paths left behind.
Yet, in the depth of this emotional web, there exists a profound solace found in God's boundless grace.

Through grace, we're given the strength to honor the past while embracing the present, gradually transforming pain into resilience and guiding us toward a future shimmering with hope and new possibilities.

Boundaries isn't a new word, but during my conversation with Dr. Emily Jacobs, you can see boundaries with a NEW perspective.
"Is your boundary worth your self-respect or is it not?"
Dr. Emily Jacobs is an author, speaker, nurse, wife, mother, and Founder of Empowered Moms - a community where we raise the bars for mothers who know they are worthy of more, to overcome fear and guilt, break cycles, and pursue dreams beyond motherhood.
With over 20 years of healthcare in nursing and corporate leadership experience, Emily started her endeavor coaching healthcare providers and moms ready to up-level life, create healthy boundaries, recognize toxicity, and recover from their burnout stories.
Setting healthy boundaries in motherhood is an act of self-care and can honestly be downright uncomfortable. By embracing these boundaries, moms cultivate an environment where their worthiness isn't tied solely to giving endlessly...but also to acknowledge their needs and well-being. We want to model for our children the importance of self-respect and balance laying the groundwork for a future where peace and fulfillment aren't sacrificed for the sake of others.

Do you constantly feel like you are "pouring out" to your husband, children, and others, but not "filling back up"?
Mama, I can't stress enough how important it is for you to take care of you! I know that self-care is thrown around a lot today, but doing something, ANYTHING for you should be a priority too. No matter how big or small.
I'm here to encourage you to make time to do things YOU enjoy, want to try, to do differently, etc.
Communicating those needs to your inner circle is the first step. When you decide to make time for things that matter to you, it trickles all the way out like a positive ripple effect and will impact your family more than you know!

Feeling like that decision will determine your family's future?
How do I make the perfect decision?
What if it's the wrong one?
What if we hate this decision?
What if it fails and we have to go back?
I understand these questions and how they take over your everyday thoughts when trying to make decisions.
No matter how big or small someone might think they are. It is big to you and that's okay.
There are a few things I have learned in the past few years that I want to share with you, mama. I want decision-making to become easier for you. I want you to have peace of mind around making decisions for you and your family.

Community, MAMA's Night Out & MYDG 1st ever CONFERENCE coming February 3, 2024.
The point of this conference is to shift YOUR MINDSET! We all feel like we are failing or don't know what way to go because of social media and the opinions of others.
We are taking our insecurities, negative thoughts, self doubt and guilt and BUSTING the LIES we tell ourselves.
"We are the only ones....", "My kid is the only one...", "I am a bad mom." The list goes on!!!
So the conference is going to be the mindset shift you need to walk out and into motherhood with a glow and a confidence you have never felt before.
MYDG is not just a brand!
MYDG is a phrase, slogan, a daily reminder!!
It is your STATEMENT to stand by!

It is your CONFIDENCE!
It is a reminder of how GREAT you are doing!
No matter...
How tired you are.
How frustrated you got today.
How over being a mom you feel.
How dirty your house is.
How behind on laundry you are.
How sassy, testy or “bad” you think your child is, & you blame yourself.
We are not blaming ourselves anymore!!
You are doing a GREAT job! An amazing job being your kids mama!
No one can do it better than you!
All of us mamas have our days, moments, seasons!
Motherhood is not one size fits all. We all mother and do things differently but one thing we all have in common is that we want to be the best mamas we can be.
We are a community that celebrates, encourages and uplifts each other through our motherhood journey.
Tune in & celebrate the 50th episode with me!

Sitting in the hospital, not knowing what is next. What will the doctors say about my 1 lb baby? How long will my baby be in here? Will my baby make it? Why did my body fail me and this baby?
In honor of NICU Awareness Month, I have my friend Brandi Storey on the podcast to tell her story.
Brandi lives outside of Fort Worth with her husband, Jamie and two little girls.
Brandi's second pregnancy was a little different than her first. She was admitted to the hospital at 26 weeks pregnant for bed rest with pre-eclampsia and started induction 6 days later because of HELLP syndrome. Penny was born at 27 weeks and spent 112 days in the NICU.
Brandi suffered from a lot of guilt right after birth and feeling disconnected from her baby. They also struggled with juggling a high risk baby in the hospital all while having a 2 year old at home.
She shares the hard & unknowing times, how Jamie & her stayed strong through it all & how celebrating the small victories, lead to the big victory. As well as, advice for couples and families who have a baby in the NICU today.

Katie is back for part 2 of her story. If you haven't listened to part 1, go back to episode 45 & listen. It is all about her traumatic loss and how it led her to the start of her rainbow miracle.
Part 2 is her testimony about how God can turn evil for good. The doctors recommended termination of pregnancy and said the baby would not be viable. She trusted God for a miracle and oh did, he came through.
Between lots of tears, laughter & even the lawn mowers in the background, Katie is such a good story teller & her stories are very detailed.
This episode is heavy but has multiple blessings throughout with God's hand on them the whole time. I suggest not listening to it with little ears.
If you are going through a dark time & not knowing what is happening or what is next, this is a great story to be able to relate to & see how powerful the power of prayer really is.

At 4 months old the pediatrician diagnosed my son with torticollis & plagiocephaly.
The PT suggested he get a helmet (band) to correct his head shape. As well as therapy stretching on his neck.
Have you ever heard of torticollis or plagiocephaly?
As a first-time mom, I felt a lot of guilt, sadness & even more anxiety.
This lead me into a downward spiral and telling myself...
"This is my fault! I should have done more tummy time! I should have caught this sooner! I’m such a bad mom!"
No parent ever wants to hear something is wrong with their child.
No matter how big or small it may be, it’s still big to those parents at the time they are living the situation.
Does your child need or have a helmet? Have you seen babies with helmets and wondered why they wear them?
I share our story on the episode, in hopes to encourage the mamas going through it or the family members that don't understand.

Today is Part 2 of Meet the Yanez Team. Part 1, was episode 31. Jared & I talked all about personalities and how you parent a child who is so different from yourself & how we parent together even though we may do things differently at times. If you haven't already, listen to that episode.
Today we dive into our marriage and how we have strengthened our marriage over the years. Marriage with kids is hard. It takes a lot of work. A lot of late-night conversations after the kids are asleep. We are not perfect by any means, but at the end of the day we are a team and we work really hard at our marriage.
In this episode, we talk about what has worked and not worked and what we have learned over the years. Jared gives his advice to all the dads out there & flips the script of encouragement to dads...
After you listen, share with your husband, let's see if they can relate.

My special guest today is... my husband, Jared!!!! Today is our 8 year wedding anniversary, what better way to celebrate than having him on the podcast. Our conversation was so good, I had to break it down into two episodes.
This is Part 1 of Meet the Yanez Team!
Today we talk about parenting and what we "thought" parenting would be like and how it "really" is.
When your child's personality is different from yours, you are stretched to learn and adapt in your way of thinking and teaching. Jared shares how this has helped him be a better person in learning to be more open-minded.
Jared and I have two totally different personalities and we share how we have learned to focus on each other's strengths in order to parent and work as a team.
Parenting is hard & we are not afraid to talk about our mess-ups. This episode is great to hear a Dad's perspective on parenting.

Most people that are going to therapy are not weak because they know they need some help. I think it’s really strong and courageous that they are putting themselves out there and actually going for it.
Every day we wake up; we have something to learn and something that we can grow from. God's plan is greater than we could ever imagine. So this is my belief, my journey, and why I believe in it.
The biggest took away and the biggest thing I learned about myself in therapy, is I was struggling with being a perfectionist. My standards for myself and my child were so high, not realistic, I felt like I was failing every day, all day long.
In this episode, I share my journey through therapy & how it has helped me become a better mom, wife & woman. I share the NUMBER ONE TIP I LEARNED & how it will help you as well! We are not meant to do life alone. Listen to my story here.

Listen to Episode 5
Allie Schwartz is a mom to Aiden. Aiden is eight months old now. She's been married for two and a half years. She's just a normal mom trying to survive motherhood, & saving money for her kids' therapy.
In this episode, we talk about a "controversial topic". Hating being pregnant! A lot of people are afraid to talk about this topic in fear of being judged as a "bad mom". Allie dives right in and she is brutally honest. I think that we need a little bit more of that or just a safe place or person to be able to come to and talk about how you really feel.
Not liking being pregnant, doesn't make you not want your baby. It doesn't make you a bad mom.
She also talks about mourning her past life, her old life, pre-baby, and how she's adjusting to the new baby life. She shared with us her experience with her placenta pills, and how it helped her with postpartum and anxiety.
She shares advice about sleeping & going with your mama gut.
This is a great episode, especially if you are scared to get pregnant, not excited about pregnancy, or you're grieving the life before baby. It is real and honest.

In this episode, she explains about new born sleeping patterns & how their brains are wired, placing a factor. We talk about a huge topic every mom stresses about & how we make it more stressful than it needs to be, by reading & downloading apps that tell us exactly how it should be... it's Sleep Regressions!
We also dive into the judgment of sleep training & self-soothing. She is even an expert in toddlers & how to prevent them from yo-yo-ing back and forth from the bed into the hallway. What I would have done to hear this episode 6 years ago when I was a new mom.

Lindsey Goodyear is a wife, and a mama to a sweet, 2-year-old named Jackson with their second due in May! She is a part-time nurse practitioner and a full-time Southern mama born and raised in South Louisiana.
After giving birth to her son, she struggled with the transition into motherhood. She had significant postpartum anxiety. She set unrealistic expectations for herself & felt victimized by comparison. She was exhausted. Overwhelmed. & she had just lost her joy and felt like a complete failure as a mom.
She kept thinking, “I cannot be the only one struggling with this.” So she started reaching out to friends, talking openly about the challenges she was facing, and tackling issues head-on with therapy. The more she talked, the more she discovered that, in fact, she was NOT the only one. SO MANY of the women she talked to were struggling with the same issues and were feeling unfulfilled in motherhood as well.
She created the Salt & Light Motherhood Co. as a safe place to discuss motherhood- REAL motherhood- not the filtered version we usually see on social media. She values authenticity, vulnerability, and honesty and strives to celebrate the individual motherhood journey that each mama takes on. All while simultaneously providing her with the support, education & resources she needs to empower her to CONFIDENTLY make decisions, step into her role as a mother, & rest on the path she has chosen for herself and her family.
In this episode, we talk about her postpartum anxiety journey and how she is still working on it daily. She shares how marriage has changed after kids but how they still keep their marriage strong. She gives advice to the mamas struggling with postpartum, perfectionism & letting go of control.
This is a great REAL conversation!

Why do moms get the pressure to be 100% of all the things, all the time? We have to be Mom 100% of the time or the Employer/Business owner 100% of the time.
Why can't moms not be both at the same time or have boundaries and not get shamed or feel guilty for it?
In this episode, I interview the photographer, wife, mama, entrepreneur, and my cousin, Kelsey Horner!
Motherhood has changed her life, it opened her eyes to see God's daily blessings and appreciation of family. She took things from her childhood & growing up into motherhood & how she is raising her daughter.
She shares her story of how she couldn't just be a SAHM. She is so grateful to be a mom and wanted to be home & have the flexibility to be with her daughter, but she had to work, she had to put her mind on something besides baby toys, breastfeeding, rocking a baby to sleep & repeat.
We talk all about mom guilt & how it looks different for all moms and the different ages of your kids. Some might judge us for being real & raw talking about kids wearing us out, and needing a little break but I think most, if not all moms will relate to our conversation.

Thinking about adding more activities to my to-do list feels overwhelming.
I know most mamas are just trying to survive motherhood & by adding the holiday expectations on top, this time of year gets very overwhelming.
In this episode, I encourage you to let go of the expectations, the perfection, & the stress the holidays bring & remember the reason for the season.
Setting boundaries & saying no to things that don't matter the most to your family will help decrease the overwhelm. Embrace the imperfections of the holiday break. Enjoy the things that truly matter.
After Christmas is over, we go straight into expectations of the New Year. New Year, New You? Don't put pressure & unrealistic expectations on yourself.
Take one day at a time & enjoy the ride life brings, listen to this episode & hear how you can do that.

Are you running on fumes? Are you feeling tired & alone in the everyday life of motherhood? Do you have mom guilt? Trying to find that confident and patient person you once were?
In today’s episode, I have Alessandra, Just a Basic Mama blogger on the podcast.
Our conversation is very relatable to all moms.
We talk about the everyday life as a SAHM & how she makes time for herself. The guilt feeling a lot of us moms get when we don’t have an immediate bond with our newborn baby; it’s a normal feeling we don’t talk about enough. She shares how going from zero to one baby was the hardest & her third baby has the best mom version of herself.
As moms over time, we build more confidence & patience about the things that really “don’t matter”. We even dive into how to keep a healthy marriage with kids running around.
I love this episode & so will you!
