    The Sailor, The Single Mom, & The 1-Pound Miracle

    TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses premature birth, traumatic labor, medical intervention for micro-preemies, and birth-related trauma. "Your family didn't come in your sea bag." That’s what they tell you in the Navy. But what happens when your "family" is a 1-pound, 6-ounce baby fighting for her life in a plastic box while you’re expected back in uniform? This week, I sit down with a woman who lived through every parent's nightmare while serving her country. At 23 weeks and 4 days, she woke up in a pool of blood, eight hours from home, and facing a medical team that pressured her to choose "comfort care"—essentially letting her baby pass away—because of her age and status as a single mother. She chose the fight. She hit the 24-week "viability" mark by a mere two hours, delivered via emergency C-section, and was back on active duty just six weeks later. This is the raw, unfiltered reality of a 129-day NICU stay, brain bleeds, 20 blood transfusions, and the staggering resilience of a Sailor who refused to take "no" for an answer.

    The Uterus Chronicles: Teen Pregnancy, Adoption, and the Cancer Flip

    TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses teen pregnancy, adoption, and cancer diagnosis. Jamie Shoemaker’s life has never been a straight line. From navigating a high-pressure teen pregnancy in a conservative church to choosing a private open adoption at fifteen, Jamie has spent her life breaking cycles. She’s been an egg donor, a mother, and a fierce advocate for her own body—a skill that became a matter of life and death when a routine check-up turned into a cervical cancer diagnosis at age 35. In this conversation, Jamie opens up about the "mind-f**k" of having her uterus—the organ that connected her to so much community and life—suddenly become the villain. We dive into the complexities of open adoption twenty years later, the reality of "survival" income through egg donation, and why she wrote an "ode to her uterus" before a life-altering hysterectomy. Jamie is a storyteller who reminds us that healing doesn’t happen in isolation and that "rest" is not a four-letter word.

    Pregnancy After Loss: When Joy and Grief Coexist

    RIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses late-term stillbirth, medical trauma, and postpartum hemorrhaging. "I didn't even have to hear the words. I could read it all over her face." Alyssa was 38 weeks pregnant—at the finish line—when the world stopped. In this raw conversation, Alyssa walks us through the devastating loss of her first daughter, Marianna Yvette, and the terrifying medical crisis that followed, leaving Alyssa "knocking on heaven’s door." We dive deep into the reality of pregnancy after loss—the scans every two weeks, the inability to feel excitement until the baby is crying in your arms, and the bittersweet realization that one child's life only exists because another's ended. This is a story about honoring the dead while fiercely raising the living.

    Wallet Therapy: The B Word: How to Build a Spending Plan Without Feeling Punished

    Becky has beef with the word budget. It feels restrictive. It feels like failure waiting to happen. It feels like getting grounded. So in this episode of Wallet Therapy, Becky and Alex are flipping the script. We’re retiring the word “budget” and replacing it with something that doesn’t make your nervous system panic: a spending plan. Inside this episode, we cover: Why 84% of people “fail” at budgeting (and why that’s not a you problem)The three-bucket method: Needs, Fun Money (aka the Becky Fund), and Debt/SavingsWhy fun money actually helps you reach your savings goalsHow to stop the all-or-nothing spiral after one $20 saladThe 10-Second Reset to interrupt impulse spending in real timeWhy your spending plan should align with your values — not punish youThis isn’t about tracking your failures. It’s about planning your freedom. If you’ve ever started a budget on Monday and emotionally quit by Thursday, this one’s for you. Ready to join the inner circle?

    Recovering the Life I Always Should Have Had Through Sobriety

    This episode discusses severe alcoholism, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts. Please listen with care. I sat down with Nicole, a mother of five who lived a "normal" life on the outside while a dark hole was swallowing her from the inside. From her first blackout at thirteen to drinking a Costco-sized handle of vodka every 24 hours, Nicole’s story is a harrowing look at how addiction isolates us from the people we love most—including ourselves. We dive deep into the moments the world doesn't see: the manipulation, the medical emergencies, and the day Nicole decided it would be better if she simply wasn't here anymore. But the pills didn't work, and what followed was a grueling, beautiful, and 180-degree transformation. This isn't just a story about quitting a substance; it’s about a woman who spent years unable to be alone with herself finally learning to love the person she sees in the mirror.

    He Became a Father Overnight: Griff’s Story of Stepping Up for Kylie and Josh

    TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses the sudden loss of a parent and substance abuse recovery. When Kylie lost her mother unexpectedly in 2024, her life shifted in an instant. She didn't just lose her mom; she became the legal guardian of her teenage brother, Josh. But she wasn't alone. Her husband, Griff, didn't hesitate. Without a formal meeting or a long debate, he stepped into the role of a father figure, proving that family isn't just about biology—it’s about who shows up when the world falls apart. In this episode, I sit down with Griff to hear the perspective we don't often get: the partner who chooses to take on the "messy" parts of a spouse’s history. From navigating vastly different upbringings to the reality of family therapy and the friction of parenting a teenager while still being "newlyweds," this is a raw look at resilience, loyalty, and what it actually means to be a team.

    Wallet Therapy: Why One of Us is Broke and the Other is a Coach

    Welcome to the very first episode of our Wallet Therapy miniseries! Ever feel like everyone else got the "how to be an adult with money" memo except for you? You’re not alone. In this kickoff episode, sisters Becky and Alex pull back the curtain on their own bank accounts. Becky gets real about her "add to cart" addiction and the overwhelm of looking at a bank statement , while Alex shares how she went from financial chaos to becoming a Finance Coach. It’s a kitchen-table conversation about our "Money Stories"—the good, the bad, and the expensive. We’re setting the stage to bridge the gap between being totally clueless and finally feeling in control. No shame, no jargon, just two sisters trying to help you (and each other) figure it out. In this episode, we cover: - The "Aha!" moments that led to this podcast. - Alex’s non-judgmental approach to behavior-based coaching. - How we’re going to survive these episodes without a sisterly blowout.
