I’m your favorite weird mom friend — the one with a story to tell, a treatsie in her bag, and a wildly inappropriate joke ready on lock. I’m a mom of six, including three amazing kids with special needs, just trying to survive bus pick-ups, teenage drama, sensory overload, and the occasional existential crisis. I’m weird, wildly honest, and always hunting for the beauty in the mess. On Your Mom’s Weird Podcast, I share real stories, hard-earned lessons, and heartfelt conversations that’ll make you laugh, cry, and feel a little more human.

    Festive? Debatable.

    This time of year can feel… a lot. Between the expectations, the comparisons, and the emotional hangovers, it’s easy to forget that joy isn’t something you have to earn. In this episode, Kristen reminds us that even if you’re knee-deep in chaos, healing, or mashed potatoes — you’re still showing up, still glowing, and still doing your best. 🎧 So grab a snack, take a deep breath, and let’s figure out how to keep our weird little spirits bright (or at least functional). ✨ Come hang out on Instagram @yourmomsweirdpod

    The Double Dutch Struggle Bus

    Beep beep! Hands up if you’re on the Struggle Bus. This week, I’m catching you up on life, goals that went nowhere fast, and how I’m learning to give myself grace when everything goes sideways. From girls’ nights and Dutch Bros therapy to the secret art of keeping your bus from crashing — we’re talking finding joy, keeping hope, and surviving the chaos with snacks and good music.

    From Ace Ventura To Acetaminophen

    Double digits, baby! 🎉 In this week’s episode, we catch up on the week — the chaos, the kids, and the weird little things keeping me laughing (or losing my mind). You might be a weirdo if, like me, you spend free time memorizing random movie dialogue — from Can’t Hardly Wait to Ace Ventura to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Then we shift gears: fall break reflections, my newest K-pop adventure, and some mom-brain deep dives. I’m breaking down RFK’s recent announcement and the research around leucovorin and acetaminophen, but don’t worry — it’s light, approachable, and packed with reassurance. Because here’s the truth: moms, you’re already carrying enough. You don’t know what you don’t know, and none of this is your fault. We end on a reminder to trust your gut, find your own answers, and give yourself some credit for how hard you’re trying. Because you’re a good mom, period. So grab a snack, buckle up for some weird, and let’s go from Ace Ventura to Acetaminophen together. ✨ Nerdy-but-Necessary Note: If you’re like me and want to see the receipts, here are the articles I mentioned in today’s episode. Because being a good mom means arming yourself with info and snacks. 🔗 Cerebral Folate Deficiency, Folate Receptor Alpha Autoantibodies and Leucovorin (Folinic Acid) Treatment in Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis - PubMed  (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34834493/) 🔗 Association of Cord Plasma Biomarkers of In Utero Acetaminophen Exposure With Risk of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder in Childhood - PubMed (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31664451/) (Promise they’re not boring. Okay, maybe a little boring. But worth the read.) Follow me! Tell your friends! Find me on IG @yourmomsweirdpod

  4. Friend or Framily?

    Friend or Framily?

    Blood doesn’t always make family. Sometimes it’s the people who show up, listen, drop off caffeine, or simply make you feel seen—your framily. In this episode, I talk about what it’s like to grow up without those mother/sister check-ins so many people take for granted, the friends who’ve filled those gaps along the way, and how I’m learning that loving yourself has to come first (yes, even before the zombie apocalypse 🧟‍♀️). We’ll laugh, we’ll cry, and hopefully you’ll walk away thinking about the people in your life who are your framily—and maybe the ones who see you that way too.

    Grateful AF

    This week on Your Mom’s Weird Podcast, Kristen is serving up gratitude—but with a twist. Not the boring “family, health, job” kind of gratitude (yawn), but the oddly specific, laugh-through-your-tears, thank-you-for-existing type that actually sticks. From naps that hit different to skateable sidewalks, this episode is one big love letter to the tiny things that make life bearable, magical, and sometimes downright weird. Kristen also shares how gratitude can hit like a wake-up call (spoiler: it involves a school bus), and why getting specific might just be the medicine we all need right now. ✨ Want to play along? Write your own weirdly specific gratitude thank-you notes and tag Kristen @yourmomsweirdpod. She’ll be cheering you on and maybe even stealing your best ones for future inspo. Because gratitude isn’t just good vibes—it’s fuel for the chaos

    Peek-a-Boo, I See You

    This week, we’re keeping it short, sweet, and straight to the heart. Life gets heavy, lonely, and downright exhausting sometimes—but you’re not invisible. You’re not forgotten. And you’re definitely not alone. In this episode of Your Mom’s Weird Podcast, Kristen plays the simplest game with the deepest meaning: peek-a-boo, I see you. Whether you’re grieving, rebuilding, overwhelmed, or just plain tired of being the strong one, this one’s for you. Expect cozy September vibes, a little humor (pumpkin candles and kerfuffles included), and a whole lot of love spoken straight to your soul. Consider it a medicine episode—the kind that reminds you you’re human, you’re enough, and you’re seen. Because sometimes the weirdest, bravest thing we can do is just keep going.

  7. Finding Hope down Saylee Jean Lane

    Finding Hope down Saylee Jean Lane

    This week, we’re taking a drive down a very special road—Saylee Jean Lane. For 19 years, my daughter Saylee has been teaching me about autism, resilience, joy, and what it really means to find hope in the unexpected. From preschool field trips and candid 5x7 miracles… to talent shows, dance recitals, and even a football field crowned Homecoming Queen moment (yes, with fireworks!)—this journey is full of detours, pit stops, and surprise lane changes. Along the way, we’ll make “hope deposits,” laugh at some brutally honest kid commentary, and see how the little girl who once smeared poop on walls grew into an artist, performer, and light to everyone who meets her. This isn’t just her story—it’s ours. And if you’ve ever felt lost on your own road, I promise there’s a tank full of hope waiting for you here too. Grab your snacks (I’ve got my Trader Joe’s Cinni Dragons 🍬🐉), buckle up, and let’s ride.

    Ask Your Weird Mom

    This week, we’re flipping the script—literally—and I’m answering YOUR questions! From the struggle of memorizing lyrics to the lost art of giving compliments, to parenting non-verbal toddlers, to why I proudly wear my weirdo badge… we’re covering it all. It’s part comedy, part therapy, and part reminder that you don’t actually have to care what anyone thinks (because spoiler alert: they’re not thinking about you anyway). Got a question for your weird mom? Send it my way on Instagram @yourmomsweirdpod and you just might hear it on a future Q&A episode! Grab your snack, grab your bevvy, and let’s get weird.

  9. Me? I Hardly Knew Her

    08/15/2025

    Me? I Hardly Knew Her

    In this episode, Kristen takes a hilariously honest stroll through the ever-evolving (and sometimes bewildering) concept of identity. From the names we answer to, to the roles we grow into — and out of — she dives into how we can get stuck thinking our “self” is fixed, when really, it’s more like a thrift store outfit we keep swapping pieces of. Expect confessions, pop culture tangents, and one or two “did she just say that?” moments as Kristen unpacks the joy, awkwardness, and freedom of redefining who you are… and why sometimes, losing parts of yourself might be the most “you” thing you could ever do. ✨ Follow along on Instagram: 💃 Kristen’s personal: @yourmomsweirdpod

    Turns Out, I Was the Main Character

    You ever look back at your life and realize… oh wait, I was the moment? In this episode, I unpack my lifelong journey with confidence — from rhythm skating at a junior high talent show to DJing a holiday party gone rogue, to fully embracing spiritual twerking at Burn Bootcamp. It’s about “confidence cosplay,” the 7 types of confidence (yes, seven), and how pretending to be confident isn’t fake — it’s rehearsal. We’re talking: What Blink-182, Doja Cat, and Danity Kane all taught me about confidence Main character moments (the awkward, the loud, the sacred) The science behind self-belief Letting your past self fill your tank when your current self is running on E This one's funny, a little feral, very real, and totally made for weird moms and recovering wallflowers. 🎧 Listen now — and tag me with your main character energy moment: @yourmomsweirdpodcast

    I Mom, Therefore I Guilt

    Feeling guilty for literally everything? Yeah, same.This episode is your permission slip to stop spiraling and start giving yourself grace — the real kind, not the embroidered pillow kind. We talk guilt, science, weird mom history, tortilla-based coping mechanisms, and what it looks like to actually root for yourself (even when dinner’s just cereal). Because you deserve grace — no matter how many unread school emails are haunting you.
