    Episode 12: Marriage Changing After Having A Baby

    Motherhood changes everything — including marriage. In this episode of Mamas Who Brunch, we have an honest conversation about how relationships with our husbands shift after having babies. From sleepless nights and shifting priorities to learning how to reconnect again, we talk openly about the beauty, the challenges, and the grace needed in this season of life. As new moms, it can sometimes feel like we go from being spouses to simply surviving the day-to-day of parenting. But marriage is still a foundation of the family, and nurturing that relationship matters. In this conversation we share: • The unexpected ways marriage changes after babies• The challenges couples face in early parenthood• Learning to communicate through exhaustion and overwhelm• Giving our husbands — and ourselves — grace in a new season• How faith helps guide and strengthen marriage and motherhood• Practical ways we’ve begun prioritizing our relationships again Motherhood may shift our roles, but it can also deepen our love, patience, and partnership in ways we never expected. Our hope is that this episode encourages moms who may feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or simply navigating a new season of marriage.

    Episode 11: From Survival to Peace: A Single Mother's Redemption Story

    In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Mama’s Who Brunch, Gelina sits down with her dear friend Cherish Gilbert to share a deeply personal story of courage, healing, and redemption. Cherish opens up about her journey as a single mother raising a teenage daughter while navigating emotional abuse in a relationship that slowly caused her to lose herself. What began with love bombing and intense affection eventually turned into emotional confusion, self-doubt, and chaos. After years of feeling stuck, Cherish made the brave decision to leave everything familiar behind in Austin, Texas and start over in St. Louis with her daughter. The transition was painful, uncertain, and terrifying—but it ultimately led her to a place of peace, restoration, and deeper faith. In this episode, we talk about: • Recognizing the subtle signs of emotional abuse• How manipulation and love bombing can distort your sense of reality• The impact of unhealthy relationships on motherhood• Healing while raising a child who is watching your every move• Finding Jesus in seasons of confusion and transition• Rebuilding self-worth after emotional abuse• Practical steps for women who feel stuck but know they need to leave Cherish also shares how therapy, community, faith, and even an unexpected blessing in the form of her dream dog helped restore her sense of safety, identity, and hope. This conversation is honest, vulnerable, and filled with encouragement for any woman who feels trapped in survival mode and longs for peace. If you are walking through a difficult season, we pray this episode reminds you that your value has never been lost — it may only need to be rediscovered. You are worthy of peace. You are worthy of safety. And God is with you in every step forward.
