    Send This To Every Parent You Know

    Parenting advice is everywhere. Do this. Don’t do that. Be more present. Set better boundaries. Hold the boundary. Regulate yourself. Regulate them. Make the memories. Pack the lunches. And whatever you do, DON’T SCREW THEM UP. No wonder we’re exhausted. In this episode, we’re talking about what actually matters in parenting, and spoiler alert: it’s probably a lot less than you think. We talk about repair after you get it wrong. Being genuinely curious about who your kids are becoming. Creating structure and predictability where you can. And most importantly, giving yourself some freaking grace. Because if you’re listening to a parenting podcast, researching how to do this better, worrying about whether you’re getting it right, and caring deeply about the humans you’re raising, we need you to hear this: You do not have a damn thing to feel bad about. You’re doing great. Your kids do not need a perfect parent. They need a parent who loves them, sees them, listens to them, apologizes when they get it wrong, and keeps showing up. So unclench your jaw. Drop your shoulders. Put down the imaginary parenting report card. You’re allowed to enjoy your kids, too. And when you’re done listening, send this episode to every parent you know who needs to hear that they’re doing a better job than they think. 💕 🎧 Follow Mirror Mirror on the Mic on Instagram: @mirrormirroronthemic ✨ Want to work with Malissa? https://stan.store/MalissaConnorsCoaching/p/coaching-call-wmal  📲 Connect with Malissa: @mirrormirroronthemic

    Maybe You Don't Need Anymore Advice

    What happens when you’re raising kids, caring for aging parents, managing a career, keeping a household running… and somehow still expected to take care of yourself? Welcome to the sandwich generation. This week, we start with a little life catch-up and some laughs before getting into a very real conversation about what it feels like to be needed from every direction at once. But this episode is also a little different. You’re getting a glimpse into what coaching with Malissa can actually look like. Because coaching isn’t always about optimizing your life, creating a better routine, or finding the perfect solution. Sometimes there isn’t a solution. Sometimes life is simply hard. And in those moments, you may not need another person giving you advice. You may need someone willing to sit beside you, help you untangle what belongs to you and what doesn’t, validate the emotions you’re carrying, and remind you that you’re allowed to acknowledge: this is a lot. Yes, coaching can help you navigate career transitions, relationships, boundaries, emotional regulation, and the messy work of figuring out what comes next. But sometimes coaching is simply having someone sit next to you in the dark for a little while, without trying to rush you toward the light. Because you don’t always need someone to fix your life. Sometimes you just need someone who isn’t afraid to sit in it with you. Ready for support that feels a little different? If you’re navigating a transition, rebuilding after something hard, or simply feeling like you’re carrying too much by yourself, I’d love to sit beside you while you figure out what comes next. 📅 Book a discovery call: https://stan.store/MalissaConnorsCoaching/p/coaching-call-wmal  💗 Follow Malissa on TikTok: @MsConnors 🎙️ Follow Mirror Mirror on the Mic: @mirrormirroronthemic And if this episode made you feel a little more seen, send it to someone else who might need to hear it. Sometimes the best thing we can offer each other isn’t advice. It’s the reminder that we don’t have to carry the hard things alone.

    I Just Keep Showing Up

    I Don’t Know What I’m Building Yet. I’m Just Showing Up. This one is a little stream of consciousness. A little life update. A little gratitude. And maybe a reminder that you don’t have to know exactly where something is going to keep going. We’re talking about emotions and what happens when we stop treating every feeling like an emergency. Emotions are waves. They rise, they peak, and eventually, they fall. I’m also talking about social media, this podcast, and whatever it is I seem to be building right now. Because the truth is, I don’t completely know what it is yet. I just know I keep showing up. And somewhere along the way, people started listening. Not just here, but in countries all over the world. Which is equal parts surreal, humbling, and incredibly freaking cool. Maybe we don’t always need the five-year plan. Maybe sometimes the next right thing is simply to feel what we’re feeling, let the wave pass, and keep showing up for the thing that keeps calling us back. So that’s where I am this week. No perfectly packaged lesson. No neat little bow. Just life in motion. And a whole lot of gratitude that you’re here for it.

    I Solved The Case...

    Have you ever convinced yourself that if you could just understand why someone hurt you, you could finally move on? Same. In this solo episode, Malissa talks about the mental rabbit hole of trying to solve another person: childhood trauma, attachment styles, psychological frameworks, relationship patterns… surely if you find the right explanation, your brain will finally close the case. Except every answer seems to create another question. What if the search for understanding is actually keeping us connected to the very person we’re trying to move on from? Malissa explores confirmation bias, rumination, our brain’s craving for certainty, and the uncomfortable realization that closure may not come from finally figuring them out. Because maybe the case doesn’t end when you find the answer. Maybe it ends when you decide you don’t need one anymore. 🎙️ Mirror Mirror on the Mic

    How To Actually Show Up For The Strong Friend

    We all know the strong friend. She’s the one who answers the phone. The one who shows up. The one who remembers what everyone else needs. She’s capable, dependable, and usually the last person anyone thinks to worry about. But who’s checking on her? In this episode of Mirror Mirror on the Mic, we’re talking about what it actually means to support the person who seems like they have it all together. Because “Let me know if you need anything” sounds supportive, but when someone is already carrying too much, asking them to identify what they need, ask for it, and tell you how to help can become one more thing on their plate. We dig into why the “strong friend” can be so easy to overlook, what she may be carrying behind the scenes, and practical ways to show up for her without waiting for her to ask. We’re also talking about the other side of it: if you are the strong friend, how do you start letting people in? How do you stop measuring your worth by how much you can carry? And what happens when you finally admit, “Actually, I could use some help.” Send this episode to the strong friend in your life. And then maybe don’t just send it. Check on her, too. 💗 🎙️ Follow along: Instagram: @mirrormirroronthemic ✨ Ready for some support of your own? If you’re navigating burnout, a major life transition, or realizing you’ve spent so much time taking care of everyone else that you’re not even sure what you need anymore, coaching might be your next step.

    Is This The Life You REALLY Want??

    What if the feeling that something is “off” isn’t something you’re supposed to ignore? This week, I'm joined by Heather Schmid, creator of the film Voice of the Earth, for a conversation about awakening, intuition, and what happens when women finally start listening to themselves. We talk about the signs we’re often taught to dismiss, the exhaustion that can come from living disconnected from yourself, and the uncomfortable questions that can change everything: Is this really what I want? Is this the life I want to keep living? Is this what I want my daughters to believe life is supposed to look like? Because sometimes the choice isn’t between an easy path and a hard one. Sometimes it’s between continuing down the path you already know… or having the courage to question it entirely. Heather shares her perspective on the feminine awakening she believes is happening around the world, why letting go can actually create more energy, and what it can look like to begin trusting your own voice again. If you’ve ever thought, “There has to be more than this,” this conversation is for you.

    You Asked. We're Not Sugarcoating It.

    This week, you asked the questions…and we’re definitely not sugarcoating the answers. 🎙️ Malissa and Inez are diving into real listener dilemmas about the things so many women are quietly trying to figure out: burnout, breakups, boundaries, friendship, and what happens when you realize you can’t keep carrying everything yourself. What do you do when you know you need to delegate, but no one does things quite like you? How do you respond when friends who disappeared during your hardest season suddenly come back? And when a relationship ends and everyone tells you to “focus on yourself”…what does that actually mean if you’ve spent your whole life looking outside of yourself for happiness? There may not be perfect answers, but there are some uncomfortable truths worth talking about. You asked. We’re not sugarcoating it. 🎧 Listen now, and if you have a question you want us to tackle in a future episode, send it our way.

    Own Thy Stuff: A Conversation with Joe Machicote

    What would change if we all got a little better at owning our stuff? In this episode of Mirror Mirror on the Mic, I'm joined by my business coach, mentor, and author of Own Thy Stuff, Joe Machicote, for a conversation about accountability, leadership, relationships, growth, and what it actually looks like to take responsibility for the way we show up. Joe shares why accountability isn't about being perfect or taking the blame for everything. It's about recognizing the part that's yours, owning it, repairing when necessary, and moving forward. We talk about how this shows up everywhere: in leadership, marriage, parenting, difficult conversations, and the relationship we have with ourselves. One of my favorite reminders from this conversation? True growth isn't about becoming superior to someone else. It's about becoming better than the version of yourself you were yesterday. If you've ever struggled with accountability, communication, boundaries, or simply figuring out what part of a situation is actually yours to own, this conversation is for you. IN THIS EPISODE: What it really means to "own thy stuff" Why accountability and shame are not the same thing How tone, intention, and impact affect our relationships What strong leaders understand about personal responsibility Repairing after we get it wrong Why becoming better doesn't require becoming perfect 📚 GET JOE'S BOOK Own Thy Stuff https://a.co/d/01pn0wV1  CONNECT WITH JOE LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-machicote-a3858a5/ 💗 WORK WITH MALISSA If you're ready to rebuild your confidence, get out of survival mode, and start creating a life that feels like yours again, I offer one-on-one coaching for women ready to take that next step.
