MomFuel & Mindset

Chrissy & Jess

You've read the books. You know you should prioritize yourself. You're still last on your own list every single night. MomFuel & Mindset is the podcast for the mom who gives everything to everyone and is quietly running on empty while holding the whole world together. We're Chrissy and Jess, two real friends, two moms in the thick of it and we built this podcast because we got tired of pretending we had it together. Every week we show up with raw honest conversation and practical tools for the moments that actually break you. The overstimulation. The invisible mental load nobody sees. The reactive moment you replay at 2am. The guilt that follows you to bed. We don't sugarcoat it. We don't pretend it's easy. And we never make you feel like you're the only one struggling. Because you're not broken. You're just running on empty in a world that keeps asking you to give more. New episodes every Thursday. Come as you are. 💜 Chrissy & Jess

    Momfuel & Mindset - SEASON 2: Episode 6 - Independent Play: Raising Confident Kids

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode we chat with Kari Castro is a former teacher, toddler mom, and founder of EduPlay, a platform helping overwhelmed moms build calmer homes through independent play and screen-free connection. After spending over a decade in the classroom, Kari saw firsthand what happens when children enter school without foundational skills like problem solving, focus, creativity, and resilience. That experience sparked her passion for helping parents build those skills early through everyday play and connection. Through her content, courses, and honest conversations online, Kari helps moms step away from the pressure to constantly entertain, overstimulate, and “do it all,” while raising capable, confident children who can play independently and thrive without relying on screens. Her approach combines teacher expertise with real-life motherhood, giving parents practical tools that actually work in busy homes without adding more overwhelm to their plate. Want to connect with Kari and learn more about her work? Be sure to check out the show notes for links to her website, Instagram, and a special discount code for her independent play course.
