I refuse to let these platforms drive me insane. It's so easy to get caught up in this social media vortex and stuck on the hamster wheel of views, likes, and followers. However, today I am going back to basics and I challenge you to the same.
Listen in on this episode as I share:
- What to do with the algorithms keep changing
- Why right now is a Creator Economy and creators need to recognize our power
- How I'm going back to the basics
- What you should focus on besides views and followers
- The importance of building your brand outside of social media

About Gladys
Gladys Simen is a life coach for moms who are trying to balance their work and family life.
She is a life enthusiast who has lived in 5 different countries and mastered 2 languages. She was in a position where she had to have two personalities: strict and serious at work, and free and happy at home because she worked in an English corporate job with a lot of specific expectations. After moving to Canada and becoming a mom, she began to advocate for what she believed in, looking for the best way to be an exceptional example for her kids. It took becoming a fabulous mama for her to tap into some BIG superpowers within herself. Superpowers like staying present in the moment, being courageous, and advocating for herself and others. Now, she is passionate about helping women live big, beautiful, shooting-for-the-stars kind of lives…right now. Not in 10 years. Not when the kids are grown. Not after that promotion finally comes around. Right. Now. Gladys considers herself an advocate for the working mama! She loves sharing her own stories about her journey to balance home and work life, and loves supporting fellow working mothers on their journeys.

It is her passion to work with mothers of high school students (and beyond) who are in the trenches with sad and possibly overwhelming thoughts about what life will look like when their "baby" heads to college and begins to leave the nest. Her clients’ big question: What will I do with my time?

Another year, another variant, and more social distancing. The holidays have definitely called for us to get creative these past two years.
Today, I am sharing how you can still enjoy the holidays as a family even if you have to social distance. These tips may not be the same as having in-person gatherings, but hopefully, they make the holidays still feel like family time even if you have to spend it apart.

It is hard being a mom, especially a single mom. Everything falls in your lap. You are there 24/7 for your kids and you rarely get any breaks. Every bump, bruise, and boo-boo falls in your lap. It is up to you to help your children through every major life event and celebrate each milestone. As much as you love your children, sometimes you may feel like "this isn't fair".
No one plans to be a single mom, yet it happens over and over again. My guest today, Shannika Mothersill is very familiar with what happens when the best-laid plans don't go as you thought they would. In this episode, Shannika is very candid about her single motherhood experiences, the challenges she faced, and how she overcome them.
Shannika shares:
- how to not feel bad or guilty for being a single mom
- how sometimes life requires you to take risks
- how to overcome the negative perceptions and stigmas of being a single mom
- how encouragement + education equals empowerment
- why you have to trust the process, walk by faith, and let God lead the way
About Shannika
Founder of The Transformation Woman born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. Shannika graduated college as a first-generation college student and worked to live a lifestyle that her parents did not have the opportunity to live. As a young professional, Shannika learned to understand that failure is not the opposite of success but is a part of it. After obtaining her Master's in Education, Shannika gave birth to a beautiful baby boy that opened her eyes even more to how strong women are. It is her journey to motherhood that propelled Shannika to transform and reach her highest heights. Her journey became an inspiration to others and the start of something magical: The Transformation Woman. As a single parent, she discovered that it takes a strong, fearless, and faithful woman to press through any adversity. More importantly, she believes that someone can not overcome anything without the encouragement, education, and empowerment of others or faith! Being her own motivator and encourager, Shannika transformed herself into a powerhouse woman. Full-time mom, educator, administrator, and coach.

Late nights, early mornings, overworked, and missing out on important moments with her kids, Jess knew things had to change.
In today's episode, Jess shares:
- why she quit her corporate job during the pandemic
- how she changed her mindset from "what if I fail?" to "what if I fly?"
- why you don't need permission to pursue your dreams
- why you have to stop letting fear dictate your life and take the leap of faith
- the makings of a business in the early stages

Why are we so hard on ourselves, mamas? We are our own worst critics at times. Why is that?
I've said it once and I will say it again, mom guilt is a lie! It is the false messages that we as moms tell ourselves and somehow believe that we are failing at this thing called motherhood.
However, just because I know it's a lie and I have strategies to overcome it, doesn't mean I still do not fall victim to mom guilt at times.
Now is one of those times.
In this episode I share:
- how my chronic illness (multiple sclerosis) triggered my mom guilt
- why self-care is no longer a priority
- the reason I am done apologizing and making excuses
- why it's important to take ownership over your life and focus on the things you love and enjoy
This episode is one of my most transparent episodes to date. I am sharing exactly how I am feeling and things I've struggled with lately.
I hope by sharing my experiences and how I am coping that I empower you to own your situation, feel the feels, but bounce back and jump back in when you are ready.

In this episode of the More Than a Mother podcast, I am talking about an issue that is a major problem, yet it is underreported and often hidden.
Today, I am explaining what domestic violence is, breaking down some common myths, and challenging all of us to change the narrative and how we tend to think about DV.
Also, find out the question everyone should be asking. Spoiler alert: It’s NOT “Why Does She (or He) Stay”
Trigger warning this episode touches on a sensitive topic that may evoke an emotional response.
Please take care of yourself and do what you need to for yourself. If you or anyone you know is a victim of domestic violence, contact the National Domestic Violence hotline at 1.800.799.7233 or https://www.thehotline.org/ to be connected with resources in your area.

This episode is different. This one is personal. Back to school season is among us. Similar to last year we are experiencing anxiety unlike any other as many of our kids return to school, in-person.
New variants emerging, to mask or not mask, vaccinate or not, there is so much additional stress on top of the normal chaos that already exists when it comes to back to school.
In this open letter to you, I am sharing some words of encouragement, advice, and inspiration during this time. None of us have all the answers. We will not get it 100% right all the time, however, we can show up and continue to do the best we can to make it each day.
Take a listen to this open letter. Then head over to Instagram and share your thoughts with me on your IG story. Be sure to screenshot the episode and tag me so that I can see (and share) your thoughts.

In this episode, I share:
- why I am in a state of adaptation and adjustment
- how self-awareness plays a part in your overall health
- how you must know your capacity if you want to continue to show up as your best self
- the reason why taking a step back to pause and regroup is beneficial in the long run
Due to some "life happens" moments, More Than a Mother will be a little different these next few weeks, leading up to our break for the month of August.

What do you do when you have an emotional breakdown and realize you have completely lost yourself in motherhood?
So many of us lose our identities and don't even remember the things we love to do once we become mothers. We become so wrapped up and absorbed in our roles that we lose touch with ourselves.
My guest today, Pamela Hawkes, knows all about that. From being a teen mom to having an emotional breakdown after the birth of her youngest daughter, Pamela is sharing the steps she took to regain control of her physical and mental health.
In this episode, Pamela shares:
- how perfectionism impacts motherhood
- why it's important to disconnect from social media
- how to avoid getting consumed by guilt and shame
- how trial and error can help you rediscover the things you love so you can live your life unapologetically
About Pamela:
As the voice and creator of the “Unapologetically Me” blog, Pamela Hawkes coaches and empowers women to be the best version of themselves. She provides member support as well as group lessons through her social media presence, inspired by her own personal development journey.
Pamela’s hardships have led her down a path to discover self-acceptance, self-love, and personal growth, and she has a passion for helping women embrace this for themselves. She mentors and works alongside women, teaching them how to set goals and create habits to truly show up for their lives.
When she’s not coaching, her passion lies in being a Mama to three girls, ranging in age from toddler to teenager, being a wife to her best friend and biggest cheerleader, and working as the Vice President of fundraising for the biggest homeless nonprofit in New Hampshire.

Work-Life Harmony is a Constant
Truth is, I’m struggling right now. I am having rough moments, some tough days and that’s okay.
It’s time to normalize transparency and share the behind-the-scenes of the highlight reels of life.
I’m learning more and more to cut overwhelm off at the door. I’ve stopped beating myself and being so hard on myself when I can’t show up how I planned.
Most importantly, I’ve learned to take breaks, take care of myself, and jump back in when ready!
Life is a journey. The pursuit of work-life harmony is ever-evolving.
Here is how you can learn to adapt, adjust and allow for flexibility as you pursue your dreams and goals as a mom.

I am excited to have this conversation with you today. Let's face it, all moms lose our sh!t at one point or another. It's not something we like to talk about. It's a topic many avoid, however just because we avoid it doesn't mean it isn't happening.
There are no perfect moms and it's time to stop acting that way. The more we peel back the layers and talk about the feelings, emotions, and experiences of the woman behind the mom, the more we will empower moms.
In this episode, I am getting candid about my latest mommy meltdown, how ridiculous it was, and what I learned while going through it. I am sharing the role self-regulation and self-awareness play in mommy meltdowns. I am also sharing how important self-care is in preventing and minimizing meltdowns.
As I share my story on this episode, it is my hope that you will work through the story with me and see how I am learning to regulate my emotions, prioritize self-care, and remain aware as I am going through tough mom moments.

What we learn in this episode:
- The defining moment that led Dominique to this career path

“I’ll be the “bad guy” and I’m okay with that.”
I found myself repeating this multiple times in this past week-and-a-half.
Sometimes motherhood requires us to make tough decisions.
Choices that our family and kids may not always like. We have to learn to trust ourselves, our instincts and be okay with the tough choices we make on behalf of our kids.
In today's storytime, I discuss how an ordinary basketball program turned into a teaching and learning moment for my family. This incident brought to life the majority of the May episodes I've aired so far.
I found myself recalling the information, tips, and takeaways from my guests and applying them in the situation I was facing. Let me tell you, the information in episodes 89-93 came in clutch for me this past week.
This episode is a little different than my normally scheduled content. However, I had to share the lessons learned, the wisdom gained, and overall the mportance of trusting myself as a mother no matter what.
Listen to hear how a basketball program set the stage for some great teaching, learning, and life-defining moments in my household.

Joining me today is Audrey Renee of Dear Single Mommy.
Audrey Renee is a writer, author, motivational speaker, entrepreneur, and life coach. Audrey used to be homeless and live in a transitional home where God called her to start ministering to the hearts of mothers. It was there she found forgiveness and healing through blogging and letter writing.
God then placed a few things upon her heart and Audrey turned her pain into purpose and started a community for single moms to come together and encourage each other. Soon after getting on her feet, God brought Audrey to a place where she was able to save $10,000 and leave her job during the pandemic. Audrey is committed to being an example to moms everywhere and redefining what it means to be a single mom.
What I love about Audrey is how open she is. During our conversation, she poured from her heart. Not only did she share her experience and all she has going on but she truly left inspiring words that minister to all moms/women listening.
In this episode, Audrey shares:
- The encounter that changed her life for the good
- The evolution of Dear Single Mommy
- How healing and forgiveness are vital to elevate to your next level
- How you can't allow people and systems to keep you stuck
- What to do when God is calling you to "more"

Today in the guest chair is Dahnni McLean, author of "Blinded By the D".
Fun Fact: Dahnni and I have been friends for years. We have supported each other through our business and life journeys. In fact, Dahnni is the first (and maybe the only person to call me WannMo) which inspired by business entity name and various ventures that fall under that umbrella.
Fast forward to the present, Dahnni is not only a friend, but also a client who I had the honor of coaching through my Power of One Coaching program. In the 30 days, we spent together, I watched Dahnni grow, build her confidence and get her book finished and published. I think I enjoyed the journey as much as she did and now she is here to talk to all of us about being blinded by the D.

In this IG live replay, Sherita and I sat down to talk about the importance of the “what” that we pour into our children. How “do as I say, not as I do” is not always the best way to live.
We dove deep into:
- the importance of what we pour into our children spiritually, educationally, and as related to life skills
- how it is okay to apologize to your children.
- how our children mirror the things we do
- how we must lead by example

Today joining me in the guest chair are Shayna and Tracey of the Band of Mothers podcast and the Pump and Dump Live show. Shayna and Tracey have been friends since 8th grade. They created the Band of Mother's brand to help uplift other women and remind moms they are awesome. Shayna and Tracey's mission is to spread humor and generosity from mom to mom because we're all just doing the best we can.
What I love about Shayna & Tracey is how they got their startup after an experience in a Chili's restaurant. I also love how they incorporate humor into every day topics that all moms encounter and may struggle with. They found a creative way to provide an outlet, not only for themselves but for other moms as well, to get together and laugh about mom struggles and successes.
Today they share:
- The particular experience that inspired the start of the Pump and Dump Live show
- The importance of facing yourself in the mirror and dealing with your issues
- How body positivity and a positive mindset can inspire our children
- The current shift on social media and in life towards more transparent living

If I can be honest, I am tired. As a Black mother in America, I am exhausted. This episode takes a deep dive into my thoughts as a Black woman and mother in this country.
From the killing of Black people at the hands of law enforcement to the Black maternal health crisis to new Voter Suppression laws, it's hard to be Black right now. The unbearable grief and trauma of Black mothers are at an all-time high, leaving many asking the question, "Why?"
In this episode, I share my honest and transparent thoughts and views on the experience of Black mothers and how necessary reform is on all levels.

Have you ever taken the time to sit in the quiet and reflect on all that is happening around you? Sometimes you just have to take a break and sit with your thoughts.
Sitting in stillness and finding peace in the midst of chaos is a must. When the world is moving fast around you and all hell is breaking loose, it is up to you to do what you can to preserve your peace and protect your energy.
In this episode, I am sharing what I am doing to maintain peace in such a crazy time and ways you too can achieve some peace. From imposter syndrome to the comparison trap to busy, hustle culture, so many things can have you messed up and trying to live up to someone else's standards.
Listen now to find out why it is okay to be at peace and be still.
The working mom and business owner's life is hard! Managing your family, work and your dreams is not easy at all. It can be exhausting, discouraging, and sometimes lonely. However, the reward is often worth the sacrifice. When you get into a rhythm and find a way to feel fulfilled and content not only as a mother but a woman also; that is a phenomenal feeling.
However, you can't build your dream off of someone else's blueprint. You have to find what works for you in life and go for it.
In this episode rewind, I sat down with Ingrid Read, Founder/CEO of Working MomKind to discuss life as a working mom as well as the reasons she started the Working MomKind community, not only for herself but moms just like her. Ingrid and I discussed the importance of documenting the motherhood experience, how empowering moms needs to be an everyday activity as well as what it takes to thrive as a working mom.

There is this belief that in order to be productive, you have to constantly be in the act of doing something. That is completely false. Rest is productive and sometimes the most productive thing taking the time to rest is the most productive thing you can do in a day.
In this episode, I share:
- How to handle the expectation of "normal" in an abnormal time
- The power in the pause
- How resting contributes to your productivity
- Why productivity does not always mean doing
Moms, we are living in a unique time. Stop expecting normalcy and start living in the moment and doing what you need to make it through this time.

I recently read a quote that said "Don't compare yourself to other mothers, we are all losing out sh*t, some just hide it better than others". Matter of fact I posted this quote on my Instagram not too long ago.
Well, let me tell you, these past 24-48 hours I have really felt like I was losing my sh*t. Life was coming at me fast and it was one thing after another. However this time, I decided to stop hiding, stop covering it up and own the mess.
I said words I've never said before "I quit". Time out for pretending and trying to figure it out, I just couldn't do it so I quit.
Listen to hear my story and my best advice for what to do when you feel like you are losing your sh*t.

I'm not going to lie, I have been struggling lately. This pandemic life is getting real and starting to take its toll on me. At a time when we looked forward to some reprieve from this state that we have been in for the past year, we are now seeing new variants of Covid emerge and spread. Afterwhile, this is enough to take its toll on even the most positive person.
However, I am reminded that even in my struggles, there is a bright side. There is light at the end of the tunnel and many times a ray of sunshine peeking through to give some hope. It is hard for us to see in while we are in it, but this is not the end all be all. We will come out of this and resume some type of new normal.
In this episode, I share:
- The importance of accountability, support, and community
- Why your inner critic is often your worst enemy
- The necessity of centering yourself and seeking God before you take action
- How perspective is key and can change everything
Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (KJV)

Going, going, going, and then suddenly the world stopped, literally! In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic changed life as we know it forever. One year later, we are still in the midst of the pandemic praying every day that things will get better. We went from daily routines and outings to everyone being at home together trying to remotely work, attend virtual school and manage life the best we can.
I bet you have said to yourself at one time or another: "This is too much", "I can't do this anymore", "I feel like I'm losing my mind" or "There has to be more to life than this." I get it, this is an unfamiliar time. Add to that the pressures that already come with being a mother and caring for your family, life is pretty hectic right now.
While you may be settling into a rhythm after all this time, moms are still being significantly impacted by this pandemic. From having to work/run a business and be a homeschool teacher, master chef, etc to losing jobs, child care struggles, and or being forced to choose between work and their family, the mental distress mothers are experiencing is at an all-time high.
After almost a year of lockdowns, social distancing, and mask-wearing, it is so easy to feel overwhelmed, anxious and frustrated. You may even experience emotions that you can’t even assign any words. That is perfectly okay.
We are living in a state of collective trauma that is disproportionality affecting women, especially working mothers. Yes, Covid-19 is trauma and we are all living it and getting through this the best way we can. Although this is a difficult time and you don’t know what will happen from one day to the next, there are certain things you can do to better manage life during this time.
In this episode, I share:
- What is collective trauma
- How it presents itself in your daily life
- The struggle with collective trauma

It's my ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION and I'm back with Season 4!
Celebrate with me today! I can't believe it's been a year already. This past year has truly been an amazing journey and I am so honored to have each of you with me on this journey. Never in a million years would I have thought that I would have a podcast or a platform where I share my voice week after week. From the girl who was so shy that I used to cry when my mom made me order food in a restaurant to a woman business owner whose voice is now heard by people all over the world. I tell you God is amazing.
There is no limit on what you can do when you put God first. This is all God's doing! If I had it my way, I would still be behind the computer pushing out books and writing content but God had other plans for me.
Each day I step out on faith, do the work and trust God to work out the details. Blind faith is a freedom like no other. Yes, it can be scary but with God, you have no reason to fear.
What would you do if you knew you wouldn't fail? That is how you have to approach each and every day, if not you will get stuck in perfection, stuck in the planning phase, and never advance on your dreams and goals.
In this episode, I share:
- My experience after one year of podcasting
- The evolution of Triumph After Trauma
- What is trauma and what it means to be trauma-informed
- The lasting impact of unresolved trauma
- Why you need to do the work and heal no matter how hard it is
I am so excited to be back with you for another season of the More Than A Mother podcast. Share this episode and invite all of your mom friends to join in the experience. I can't wait to continue this journey with you all.

Let's face it moms, we all go through some sort of an identity crisis when we first become a mother. In a matter of months, we become responsible for the life of a tiny human being. We do a lot of preparation for before and when the baby comes to make sure we are ready to be moms. However, one thing we do not do is prepare for how much our individual identities change as a result of motherhood. Some of us eventually lose essence of who we are and lose our identity in our roles as mothers.
My guest today, Jenny Elliot is sharing her experience with having an identity crisis as a working mom. She is also giving tips and tools to all working moms to help you navigate this journey called motherhood while maintaining your individual identity, dreams and goals.
In this episode, we discuss:
- the importance of creating your own version mom life
- the role systems play in life success

About Jenny Jenny is a Career Mom. She is a mom to a 2.5 year old son, married to her husband for 7 years and has had a career in corporate America with a fortune 100 company for over a decade. After Jenny had her son she was so unprepared for the identity crisis she experienced when she returned to her career. It was that experience that led her to start her podcast, Career Mom, where she has conversations with working moms about the joys and challenges of raising child while juggling careers. Being a mom is hard. Having a career is hard. Doing both is REALLY hard!

When someone asks you, "What do you like to do?", what is your response? Do you find it hard to answer? Is it nearly impossible to think of something that you enjoy as a person? The answer is inside of you, you just have to sit back, remember who you are and then you will easily be able to answer that question.
In motherhood, we are always so worried about what everyone else loves and enjoys that we often forget about ourselves. However, today I challenge you to rethink the way you have been doing things and get back to the things you like to do. Whether it's an old hobby or a new skill, it is important to your self-care plan that you reconnect with your own wants, needs and desires.

In all the hustle of everyday life, don’t forget the power of rest!

We don't need white saviors, we need white allies. The time we are in right now calls for our allies to stand strong and be effective.
However, many people do not know what it means to be an ally. They don't understand allyship and definitely don't know where to start to make an impact as an ally.
Allyship is goes beyond saying "we support you". To be an ally is to take action.
In this episode we learn:
- What it means to be an ally
- Tips to help you become an effective ally
- Strategies to help you manage your business as an ally
- How allies can best help the black community
Thank you in advance to all the allies who are taking a stand, the new allies who are listening and learning, preparing to take action. UNITY and LOVE is what the world needs now. We cannot let this be a trend or a hot topic. The time to change is now. The revolution is now. Let's continue to make history and make changes.
I have included links to resources and tools to help grow in your allyship. If you are looking for someone to speak at your event or to your audience, or even provide training for your team, please reach out to me at hello@lawannmoses.com.

Motherhood and parenting is a universal experience, however the extra loads that black people, especially black mothers, carry often makes our overall motherhood experience a little different.
A black women is a double minority, then add motherhood on to that and the barriers we face, it is a lot for anyone to endure day in and day out.
This episode is different than the rest. Real transparent talk about my experience as a black mother, the struggles many in the black community face, and how our white allies can step up, support and help make the change that is so desperately needeed.
I welcome you to listen with an open mind and open ears. No one has all of the answers. No one will get it right 100% of the time. However, it is important to be aware and take steps to do things differently. As they saying goes, "when you know better, you do better".
This episode is part of #podcastblackout by @cult45 podcast and dedicated the memories of all we have lost to gun violence, police brutality and pure hate including:

- Freddie Gray
- Sean Bell
- Alton Sterling
- Philando Catile
- Botham Jean
- Atatiana Jefferson
- Ahmaud Arbery

This list could go on and on so remember all of those families impacted by these tragedies. After listening to this episode, I encourage you to screenshot and share on social media platforms answering the question: "What are you going to do to make a difference?"

What we learn in this episode:
- What happens when life throws you obstacles and plans change
- How to beat the odds and achieve her goals
- How to navigate mom guilt
- The importance of “me time”
Mentioned in this episode: Forest App- Stay focused & Be productive
About Marteekah After spending over twenty years functioning in retail sales for Fortune 500 companies and later becoming an educator servicing public schools in New York City, Marteekah found herself in a conundrum. While helping customers express their inner selves with their styling choices and teaching children in her community was gratifying it was not fulfilling. She took to social media to promote body positivity and show women that they could look good at any size on any budget utilizing the styling and makeup skills she had been honing independently. By virtue of sheer will and the help of a savvy and God-fearing business coach, she is now serving a community of women who have been left unseen for far too long.
Marteekah is also the host of a freshly launched podcast about love and makeup. Releasing bi-weekly episodes where she takes up the complexities of relationships while discussing the latest in beauty trends

The Coronavirus is moving and spreading quickly! Thousands of lives are impacted and people have found their normal routines interrupted, disrupted, and halted completely.
Things are getting real, and people are panicking. COVID-19 is causing all kind of craziness, but in the midst of all of the mess people are getting sick, and some even losing their lives to this novel virus.
It's a serious situation, leaving us with more questions than answers. But one thing is for sure, we are all in this together, united by this virus that is impacting each and every one of us.
Schools are shut down. Jobs are closing. Cities are implementing curfews and the nation is on the brink of a national quarantine. Families that were once so busy, and who barely had time for each other, are now finding they have plenty of time to spend together.
Parties and gatherings are banned. The very way that we all socialize is changing rapidly. Social distancing is a practice we are all engaging in to help slow the spread of this virus.
COVID-19 (the coronavirus) has come in and truly shook up lives. However, you don't have to live in fear. You don't have to panic, but you do need to be prepared.
What we learn in this episode?
- Why it's important to be prepared
- How to not live in fear
- Three steps you can take to help you cope during this time
Follow the guidelines from the federal government, your state, and the CDC. Do your part to minimize the spread and flatten the curve.
Education is key. Control what you can control. Be prepared, but don’t panic.
Stay ready! Do what you can to protect yourself and your loved ones.

Believe it or not moms, we get sick too! Mom guilt will have us thinking we did something wrong because we are sick or we are less than because we can’t get everything done. I used to believe that moms don’t get sick days, however, today I am challenging that thought pattern.
You are human and your health matters. You don’t have to be a superhero! It’s bad enough with the common cold or flu, but find out what to do when illness occurs and you are no longer the mom you used to be.
Today, I am peeling back the layers and getting real with you about a health challenge I recently experienced. This is the first time I’ve told this story outside of close friends and family (as you can probably tell since I get a little emotional re-living the experience), but you know I believe in sharing stories so that I can help uplift and encourage someone else.
What do you do when you are ill? On today’s show, I discuss the unique challenges that come with illness, especially chronic illness, and how you can make the most of motherhood and life even when you’re ill.
In this episode, I chat with you about:
- How quickly life can change
- How to navigate health challenges
- How your illness impacts your family
- How done is better than perfect
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode. Take a screenshot and tag me @LaWannMoses or @iam_morethanamother in your Instagram stories.

I'm looking for podcast guests! If you are a mom (biological, step-mom, bonus mom, like-a-mom, or raising kids that think of you as mom) and you have a story to share and advice to offer, I would love to speak with you about collaboration opportunities. Please email me at hello@lawannmoses.com. I can’t wait to talk to you soon.

There is power in persevering and never giving up. Life is full of lessons that you must push through to make it to your next level.
