    The Void Motherhood Couldn't Fill w/ Paula Banks

    What happens when becoming a parent doesn't erase the wounds of your own childhood? In this deeply honest conversation, our guest, Paula Banks, shares how growing up with an emotionally absent father shaped her identity long before she became a mother. Determined not to repeat the past, she once believed the safest choice was to never have children at all. But motherhood has a way of revealing what we've buried. As she raised her two sons, she recognized how unresolved pain was influencing the way she parented. Through prayer, therapy, and intentional healing, she discovered that she didn't have to pass down what had been passed down to her. This episode is a reminder that healing and parenting can coexist. You don't have to come from a perfect family to build one rooted in emotional safety, grace, and connection. If you're navigating the effects of an absent parent, healing childhood wounds, or striving to break generational cycles, this conversation will encourage you to keep showing up with intention.

    Lights, Camera, Action! Voice for the Voiceless w/ Regina Patterson

    Some women spend years trying to be heard. Regina Patterson decided she would never be silenced again. In Lights, Camera, Action! Voice for the Voiceless, Regina shares how acting, writing, and producing became pathways to healing and self-expression after growing up without the freedom to use her voice. She speaks candidly about chasing her dreams while raising an autistic son, adapting to life's unexpected turns, and continuing to create despite the weight she carries. This conversation is a reminder that purpose does not disappear when motherhood gets hard—it often becomes clearer. Listener Note: This episode was slightly altered from its original structure due to major technical issues experienced during recording. Some planned elements were adjusted, but Regina's inspiring story and the core of our conversation remain unchanged. Tune in and be encouraged by a mother who continues to show up, speak out, and make space for others who have felt unseen. 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.  Send us Fan Mail Support the show We might  have the recipe nobody wrote down!

    Juggling Pads, Partner and Pull-Ups w/ Dr. Tiffany Sayles

    Living “The Dream” took on a whole new meaning for Dr. Tiffany Sayles when she realized that having the marriage, the career, and the big family she always wanted also required intentional upkeep. In this episode, Dr. Sayles opens up about the work it takes to maintain faith, love, identity, and self-care through life’s challenges. By learning who she was outside of her responsibilities and giving herself permission to simply be “okay,” she found the strength to persevere. Now, she encourages other parents to set boundaries, prioritize self-care, and lean into faith while nurturing their relationships and themselves. This conversation is a powerful reminder that sustaining the life you prayed for requires care for yourself, too.
