🤷🏻‍♀️ Do you wonder where the mystical land of work/life balance is? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️Are you searching, striving, or longing to discover a better way to lead yourself and your family? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️Is your soul weary and often overextended and overwhelmed? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️Do you want to build your business or career but are afraid of letting one of those spinning plates drop? ✝ ✝ Are you looking for older women of faith who can share their nuggets of wisdom and offer you the encouragement you need to be a better you? Well, Marvelous Mom and Magnificant Mom-To-Be, , I’m Misty Hughes, I have been in that place. I spent countless years searching, weeping, and whining to God about the lack of older women who might serve as a mentor for me. I was a young mom, raising 4 kids, divorced, without a clue as to how to live in Christ, manage my home, provide for the family, love my kids, and care for myself. I looked around my church for a woman I could emulate. I longed for someone I could look to for wisdom. I ached for an older woman to encourage me. I wanted someone approachable, someone who had weathered the storms of life and was sailing on to her brighter future. I looked for a ✝ Faith Filled woman ✝ A woman who spoke words of life to others ✝ A leader in the church or community ✝ A woman who was actively reaching out, offering hospitality to younger women ✝ A mom who was encouraging others in godliness ✝ An overcomer ✝ A confident woman ✝ A woman who loved her family well + A woman who worked outside of the home or had her own business I read in my Bible about this Titus 2 older woman; I had images of what that should look like in my life. But I found no one. After a few years of grumbling and complaining, and maybe even a temper tantrum or two, I began to ask God to make me the solution to the problem. At the age of 36, newly divorced and a hot mess, I began inviting college girls to coffee, lunch, or to our home for dinner. My personal journey of being a mentor had begun. Over the years, I have mentored, coached, and taught countless women. I have also had the privilege of meeting many exceptional women who walk in wisdom, insight, and integrity. (The mentors we all long for.) Each week, I invite you to PRESS PAUSE on the busy demands of life, sit around the table with some of the most amazing women you will ever meet, glean nuggets of wisdom from these expert moms, and find answers to the questions your heart is searching for. So, grab your drink of choice, plug in those AirPods, and get ready to drink the encouragement your weary soul needs!

    Looking My Daughter In The Eye

    Misty looks her daughter in the eye and says the words she's owed her for years: I'm sorry. A real apology — not a lesson, not polished. For a wound she didn't know was there. ❤️‍🩹 Last week, Morgan told her me something I hadn't let herself fully sit with. I asked for a week before responding — I didn't want to rush past it. ▶︎ •၊၊||၊|။|||| | This episode is that week. In the little 4 X 4 podcast cubicle,  I take a moment to look my daughter in the eye and tell the words she's owed her for a long time: I'm sorry. Not a general apology — a specific one, for something that cost Morgan real time and real closeness with her dad. 🤍 What comes back isn't what you'd expect. Morgan talks about the difference between a hurt that's twenty years old and one that's still fresh — "that cake is baked," she says — and how she's already grieved it, already made her peace, without pretending it didn't cost her anything. Then there's the story behind a piece of hand-stitched fabric a much younger Morgan made for her mom — misspelled and all — that's been a family joke for twenty years. Except it was never really a joke. It's part of why the two of them can have a conversation like this one at all. 🤎🍪🔗 They close the way they've been closing lately — with something true, a little levity, and the promise of a cookie.  Mother-daughter relationships. Reconciliation. Saying I'm sorry and meaning it. This is what that actually sounds like.   This is just us, talking. If you want to go deeper into any of it, here's where to find me. 🌐 Website — mistyhughes.com 👥 Facebook Community — Christian Women in Business & Ministry 📸 Instagram — @the_mistyhughes 🌱 BECOMING Cohort — mistyhughes.com/cohort ✨ Free Resource (Rhythms of Renewal Mini-Guide) — https://mistyhughes.com/resources 📞 Book a Call with Misty — https://calendly.com/mistyhughes/call-with-misty "When you shine, you give others permission to shine too."

    What's It Like Growing Up In A Single Parent Family with Morgan & Mom

    Misty and her daughter Morgan talk honestly about growing up in a single-parent home — what it took, what it cost, and what's still unfinished.  Morgan is 39 now. She was 11 or 12 when her parents divorced — one of four kids growing up in what was, at the time, a pretty unusual thing among the families around her. In this episode, she and Misty sit down and just talk about it. What it was actually like. What's different about how divorce and single parenting look today versus 25 years ago. What nobody really explained to her as a kid. What she's learned...AND What is still very hard.  This isn't a teaching episode. It's Misty and Morgan, on mic instead of on the phone, having the kind of conversation they've been having for years — the real one, not the polished one.  ⚡ Somewhere in the middle of it, something shifted. Misty found herself sitting in real sorrow about what her kids went through — not trying to fix it, not explaining it away. And Morgan, on the other side of that, admitted it made her uncomfortable to watch. -ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈ That's where this episode ends — not because the conversation was over, but because it wasn't. Misty comes back next week to respond to Morgan more fully.  ❤️‍🩹 Mother-daughter relationships. 💜 Adult children. 🩶 Honest motherhood. ❤️‍🔥 Real conversations. ᝰ.ᐟ This is what that actually sounds like. 🎙️ Be sure to subscribe and hear Misty's response and more of Morgan's story next week.

    A Hopeful Conversation with Morgan & Mom

    Misty and her daughter Morgan sit down for their first-ever episode — nervous, honest, and hopeful. A real mother-daughter conversation, unscripted. "Okay, we're actually doing this. Three, two, one, GO." That's how it starts — and if you listen closely, you can hear exactly how nervous we both were. This is the very first Morgan & Mom episode. ❌ No framework, ❌ no three steps, ❌ no takeaway at the end — just a mother and a daughter, in a room together, talking the way we already talk on the phone every week. Except this time, you get to listen in. We spent the first few minutes just naming what we were nervous about — the technology, being honest on tape, the things we haven't said out loud yet. And somewhere in there, we made up a safe word for when a conversation gets to be too much. (It's cookie. You'll understand why once you hear it.) But underneath the nerves, there's something we both believe: ours is a story of hope, and a story of two people who love each other and are committed to continuing to grow. We're not experts on reconciliation. We're just living it, and we wanted to let you sit at the table with us while we do. 💖 If you've ever wondered what it looks like to rebuild closeness with your mom or your daughter after a hard season, we hope this becomes a place that feels a little less lonely.   And if things are easy for you right now, we hope it's a place that makes you grateful. 💖   This is just us, talking.

    Morgan & Mom: The Trailer

    After a season of real distance, a mother and daughter found their way back. Morgan & Mom launches August 27 — listen to the trailer now. For years, Misty Hughes has hosted Mom2Mom Mentoring alone. This season, that changes. Her daughter Morgan is joining as a permanent co-host — not a one-time guest — and this trailer is your introduction to why. These conversations didn't start in a recording booth. ☎️ They started on the phone, in the calls Misty and Morgan already have — about dreams, joy, loneliness, why change is so hard, and the season of real distance it took them years to find their way back from. 🎧Starting August 27, you get to listen in. ❌ This isn't a polished, advice-driven show. ✅️ It's two women — a mother and a daughter — telling the truth about what it actually costs to rebuild a relationship that was once broken. Some of what's coming is light. Some of it cost them something to say out loud. In the weeks ahead, you'll hear Morgan talk about what it was like growing up in a single-parent home, and you'll hear Misty own something out loud that she got wrong as a mother. It's real, it's unscripted, and it's for anyone who has ever wondered whether a relationship could survive real damage. New episodes drop every Thursday starting August 27. 🔔 Subscribe now so you don't miss episode one.

    Healthy Mom-Daughter Relationships with Danica LaPorte

    Our most-listened-to episode returns — plus a brand-new update with Danica LaPorte on mother-daughter relationships, and a first look at what's next. Somewhere between the toddler years and the grown-up years, most of us stop being just "mom" and "daughter" — and have to figure out who we are to each other now. That in-between space is where today's episode lives, and it's no accident it's the most-listened-to conversation in Mom2Mom Mentoring history. Danica LaPorte joins Misty for an honest look at what makes mother-daughter relationships genuinely healthy — not performed, not strained into politeness, but real. Danica names something a lot of adult daughters feel and rarely say out loud: the quiet weight of still wanting to meet a parent's expectations, even fully grown. Misty and Danica talk through boundaries, communication, and what it actually takes to build a relationship that can hold the truth. And because so much has changed since this conversation first aired, Misty brought Danica back for a fresh update. They talk about what it looks like to be the one who reaches out first, how to stay connected across real physical distance, and how Danica has learned to apologize to her own kids in the moment rather than letting hurt sit unaddressed. It's a beautiful, practical follow-up to a conversation so many listeners have carried with them. Stick around to the very end — Misty has something new to share about what's coming next for this podcast.

    Three Rules To Stop Drowning In Stuff with Kristen Christian

    Feeling ruled by your own clutter? Organizer Kristen Christian shares her 3 simple rules to trade chaos for real peace — no Pinterest-perfect required. If you've ever pulled into your driveway at the end of a long day and felt your stomach drop instead of relax — because of what's waiting for you inside — this one's for you. This week on Mom2Mom Mentoring, we're bringing back one of our most-loved conversations: professional organizer Kristen Christian, founder of the nationwide organizing company Bee Organized, joins Misty for an honest, funny, deeply relatable talk about clutter, chaos, and what it actually takes to feel like you can breathe in your own home again. Kristen is quick to admit she isn't naturally organized — she calls herself a "hot mess" who built a thriving organizing business out of her own overflowing first home with a newborn. That honesty is exactly why this conversation lands differently for the overwhelmed mom listening. Kristen and Misty talk through the idea of "organization profiles" — 🔎 are you a crammer jammer stacker, or a memory keeper? — and why understanding your own pattern matters more than any Pinterest board ever could. Then Kristen lays out her three simple (not easy) rules for lasting order: own less, assign a home for everything, and maintain it in small, faithful minutes. This isn't about a perfect house. It's about biblical peace in the middle of ordinary motherhood — the kind of faith-based guidance that helps Christian moms make room for what actually matters. Whether you're a longtime listener or brand new here, you'll walk away with a practical next step and a little more grace for the pile on the counter.   📚RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE ✦ Grab the free Rhythms of Renewal Mini-Guide at https://mistyhughes.com/resources ✦ Join the Christian Moms in Business and Ministry Facebook community, ✦ Learn more about the Come to the Table retreat at https://mistyhughes.com/come-to-the-table Take your FREE organization assessment with BEE ORGANIZED https://beeorganized.com/ Follow Bee Organized on Social Media Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beeorganizedkc  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beeorganized.co/ ✨ CONNECT WITH MISTY Resources, community, and next steps — everything you need is right here. 🌐 Website https://mistyhughes.com/ 👥 Facebook Community — Christian Women in Business & Ministry https://www.facebook.com/groups/christianmomsinbusinessandministry 📸 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/the_mistyhughes   🌱 BECOMING Cohort Discover the God-given freedom to live from your God-given identity, not your to-do list.

    Renewing Your Imagination In Seasons of Survival

    Feeling stuck in survival mode? Misty shares how God restores our imagination for what's still possible — and how to begin your own rhythm of renewal. There's a version of you living underneath survival mode 🦋 — one who still dreams, 🦋 — still hopes, 🦋 — still imagines a future worth walking toward. She hasn't disappeared. She's just been buried under everything you've had to carry to get through the day. In this episode, Misty gets personal about the season she never expected to live — the end of her marriage, and the moment she realized she hadn't just lost a relationship, she'd lost her ability to picture anything beyond survival. If you've ever felt that same flatness, that same sense of just getting through instead of really living, this conversation is for you. Misty walks through what it looks like to invite God back into your imagination — grounded in Isaiah 43 and Psalm 119 — and offers a simple, practical exercise for noticing the "wouldn't it be fun if" thoughts most of us have trained ourselves to dismiss. This episode is also the start of something bigger: the Rhythms of Renewal series, built to help Christian moms move from overwhelm into a rhythm of life that actually holds up under real, changing seasons. Grab the free Rhythms of Renewal Mini-Guide to keep going after the episode ends, and come share your own "wouldn't it be fun if" in the Christian Moms in Business and Ministry Facebook community.   📚RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Rhythms Of Renewal Mini-Guide https://mistyhughes.com/resources Rhythms Of Renewal Podcast Episodes Why Are Moms So Tired and What Jesus Says About REST https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/why-moms-are-so-tired-and-what-jesus-says-about-rest/id1738069561?i=1000748359207   Soul Restoration for Moms Who Are Still Exhausted After Resting. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/soul-restoration-for-moms-who-are-still-exhausted-after/id1738069561?i=1000749427159   Why Your Relationships Feel So Hard Right Now as a Christian Mom https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/why-your-relationships-feel-so-hard-right-now-as-a/id1738069561?i=1000750470981

    What Control Is Really Costing You with Dr. Laura Le

    Dr. Laura Le returns to name the real cost of control — and what it takes for a mom to open her hands and finally find peace. Most of us don't call it control.   💥 We call it being responsible. 💥 Being prepared. 💥 Being a good mom. But underneath all that gripping is a kind of exhaustion that doesn't show up on a to-do list — the tiring, invisible work of trying to hold outcomes that were never ours to hold. In this conversation, Dr. Laura Le joins me again — this time with a different lens on a topic we've touched on before. Dr. Laura is a chiropractor with over twenty-three years of experience in prenatal and pediatric care, the author of Postpartum Reimagined, and the host of her own podcast, You Are the Mom. She recently walked her own daughter through the college send-off, which became the seed for her book Words From Home for the College Bound Teen — and it's exactly the kind of letting-go season we dig into here. We talk about 📌 what control actually costs a mom physically and spiritually, 📌 why surrender isn't the same thing as giving up, and 📌 what it looks like to open your hands toward the God who was never asking you to carry this alone. If you've ever wrestled with mom guilt over not doing enough, you'll recognize its quieter cousin here — the anxious grip of trying to control everything so nothing goes wrong. This is a tender, healing conversation for any Christian mom who became tired of white-knuckling her way through motherhood and ready for real, sustainable peace.   RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE 📲Contact Dr. Laura Le: https://drlaurale.com/ 🎙️ Listen To The Podcast: https://attractwell.com/LauraLe/page/podcast-blog 📕 Buy The Book: https://attractwell.com/LauraLe/page/book 📖 Rhythms of Renewal Mini-Guide: https://mistyhughes.com/resources ⓕ Christian Moms in Business & Ministry Facebook Group ✨ CONNECT WITH MISTY Resources, community, and next steps — everything you need is right here. 🌐 Website https://mistyhughes.com/ 👥 Facebook Community — Christian Women in Business & Ministry https://www.facebook.com/groups/christianmomsinbusinessandministry 📸 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/the_mistyhughes 🌱 BECOMING Cohort Discover the God-given freedom to live from your God-given identity, not your to-do list.
