    Ep 17: When Motherhood Stops Feeling Like One Giant To-Do List with Hannah Olson

    Motherhood can sometimes feel like one giant to-do list — meals, laundry, schedules, messes, and the constant pressure to keep everything running smoothly. But what if motherhood itself isn’t the never-ending list of tasks? In this episode, I sit down with Hannah Olson (you might know her as Freckled Han) to explore a powerful reframe: motherhood is a relationship — and caretaking is the job. We talk about what shifts when you separate the emotional bond you’re building with your kids from the logistical responsibilities that come with running a home. We unpack: Why so many moms feel like they’re failing when the house feels overwhelming The difference between caregiving tasks and the relationship of motherhood How language shapes our expectations of motherhood Emotional regulation, pressure, and why “enough” is a decision Why motherhood doesn’t have to feel like one heavy blur anymore If you’ve ever felt like the state of your home determines how you feel about yourself as a mom, this conversation might feel like a deep exhale.

    Ep 16: Little Things I’ve Learned From the Internet

    Today’s episode is short, lighthearted, and a little bit nostalgic—in the best way. I’m sharing little things I’ve learned from the internet over the years that genuinely made everyday life easier. Nothing groundbreaking, nothing overly serious—just practical, random, “why didn’t I know this sooner?” internet wins. We’re talking about the best way to get the last bit of ketchup out, baby powder for sand, laundry shortcuts, coffee hacks that saved me thousands, parenting wins I use constantly, and a few tricks I’ve picked up and never let go of. And then I want to hear from you: what’s one small (or surprisingly meaningful!) thing you learned from the internet that you still use? Share it in the Type C Mom Club thread—we’re learning from each other. If you enjoyed this episode, leaving a quick review is the best way to help other people find the show.

    Ep 15: What I Learned in a Year of ADHD Therapy

    A year ago, I walked into therapy thinking I was dealing with postpartum anxiety. What I found instead was clarity, kindness, and a brand new way of understanding my brain. This episode is me looking back on a full year of ADHD therapy and sharing the biggest things that changed everything for me. We talk about the difference between anxiety and ADHD overwhelm. Why my brain isn’t chaotic, it’s responding exactly the way it was designed to. How procrastination can actually be a tool. Why rest doesn’t always look like sitting still. How making things easier isn’t cheating. And why being supported doesn’t make you weak. I share the tools that helped me most: bridge rituals, anchor timers, sensory-friendly routines, and building a “tool belt” instead of searching for one perfect system. More than anything, this episode is about learning to stop fighting your brain and start being on your own side. If you have ADHD, suspect you might, or just feel exhausted from trying to function the “right” way, I hope this episode feels like a deep exhale. And if therapy isn’t accessible to you right now, I hope this gives you language, permission, and a few tools to start offering yourself more kindness anyway.

    Ep 14: What’s Easier Right Now? Practicing Calm or a Clean House (+ The Toy System That Saved My Sanity)

    This episode is a true close-friends conversation. It starts with a very real mom moment (yes, my baby and a dishwasher pod… we’re all okay), and unfolds into the mindset shift that’s completely changed my relationship with my home. If you’ve ever felt stuck between wanting a clean house and wanting to stay calm, regulated, and kind to yourself, this one is for you. We’re talking about why messy people do mind mess, how shame sneaks into our homes, and the powerful question that puts control back in your hands: what’s easier right now—practicing calm in the chaos, or keeping up with it? I’m also sharing the toy system that finally worked for us. Not a rotation, not perfection, not becoming the “toy manager of the household,” but simple location-based boundaries that brought real relief and made cleanup feel lighter. This is a VlogPod episode, so you’ll hear real life in the background as I fold laundry, nurse babies, and talk through the mental and physical shifts that took over a year to build. If your house feels like the blister on an otherwise cute outfit, you’re not behind. You’re human. And I’m right here with you.

    Ep 13: Phrase of the Year, Morning Routines, and Why January Is a Little Dramatic

    January is dramatic. She’s hopeful, delusional, inspiring, exhausting, and somehow still here even when she feels like she should’ve ended two weeks ago. And honestly? We love her for it. In this episode, Ashleigh talks about why we don’t need to squish the part of us that wants to reinvent, refresh, and start new—even if we know it might only last a few hours. Wanting things isn’t the problem. Burning ourselves out trying to deserve them is. This episode introduces Ashleigh’s phrase of the year: Name it to tame it. From emotional overwhelm to messy kitchens to snappy mom moments, she shares how simply naming what’s actually happening brings relief, clarity, and control. You’ll hear how color-coded “codes,” feelings wheels, and honest language can transform overwhelm into something manageable instead of something shameful. She also shares her “organized inner life” goal for 2026 and walks through her real-life morning routine menu system—not a rigid routine, but flexible options based on how much time, energy, and chaos the day begins with. This episode is about organizing your life without turning yourself into a robot, honoring your humanity, and letting January be dramatic without letting it run your nervous system.

    Ep 12: How to Practice Joy (Even When Life Feels Heavy) with Rachel Awtrey

    What does joy actually look like when life feels heavy, ordinary, or just plain exhausting? In this episode, I’m joined by author and podcast host Rachel Awtrey for an honest conversation about redefining joy in seasons that don’t feel particularly joyful — especially in motherhood, grief, and everyday life. We talk about why joy isn’t a personality trait or a fleeting feeling, but a skill you can practice, even in the middle of hard days. Rachel shares insights from her book Love Your Life (Even When You Don’t Like It All the Time), including how joy can be rebellious, why emotions need motion, and how small, tangible moments can become breadcrumbs of hope. We also get practical — talking about creating rhythms in your home that support joy, learning to work with your life instead of against it, and how asking “why” one more time can uncover what’s actually making things feel so hard. If you’re a mom in the thick of it, feeling stuck between loving your life and feeling overwhelmed by it, this episode is for you. ✨ Topics we cover: Why joy isn’t the same as happiness How to practice joy on regular, ordinary days Finding joy in the physical, tangible parts of life Why “choosing your hard” matters Creating a home that feels supportive, not suffocating 🎧 You can find Rachel and her book wherever books are sold, and follow her on Instagram for more encouragement.

    Ep 11: Leaving the House Without Losing Your Mind with Chandler Ashcraft

    What if leaving the house with little kids didn’t feel like a full-contact sport? In this episode, I’m joined by Chandler Ashcraft—better known as @chanwiththeboys and the founder of Moms Away—to talk about how to actually get out of the house with little ones without losing your mind, your wallet, or your sanity. We talk about the difference between kid-centric outings (think: playgrounds and play places) and family-centric outings (think: places that fill your cup, too), how to start small when leaving the house feels overwhelming, and why your house and laundry will always be “in the cycle” anyway. In this episode, we chat about: Why getting out of the house can be the most regulating thing you do as a mom The difference between kid-centric vs. family-centric outings—and why you need both Low-stakes ideas for leaving the house (including Chandler’s fenced-in tennis court hack) How to practice “trial runs” so you can build confidence instead of anxiety Simple packing tips: night-before prep, treating your car like a diaper bag, and lowering your standards What this all looks like for moms with ADHD, runners, multiple kids, and limited childcare The mindset shift that helped both of us stop waiting for a perfectly clean house before living our lives If your mental health is begging you to get out of the house—but the logistics and the diaper bag feel like too much—this one’s for you.
