Today’s episode wraps up season two of Momnesia. We heard from fourteen amazing women, each one giving us a glimpse into their motherhood journey with vulnerability and authenticity. This season was marked with stories of postpartum depression, loss, and grief, but also new life, healing, and hope. We hope you enjoyed listening as much as we enjoyed capturing these stories. 
And what better way to end season two than with the queen of podcasting herself, Lindsay Tjepkema.  Lindsay is the CEO and co-founder of Casted, the first and only marketing platform built around branded podcasts. With more than 15 years of experience in B2B marketing, including running her own consulting agency, she’s a dynamic leader who’s had tremendous success building and growing marketing teams on a local and global level. After launching a branded podcast for a global marketing company, Lindsay realized her passion for authentic conversations. This led her to founding Casted to help marketers unlock the full potential of their content by harnessing the power of podcasting. The company has since gained rapid traction among brands that wish to create greater connection with their audiences through authentic conversation. 
Lindsay is also the mother of three boys, including twins. She and her husband are both from Michigan, but now embrace the chaos from their home in Fortville, IN. Learn more at casted.us and engage with Lindsay on Twitter @CastedLindsay

"What good is the warm of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness." - John Steinbeck
While Julie and Sarah agree on many things, the winter season is not one of them. Julie has had her fill of blustery winds, gray skies, and sloshy roads from snow, sleet, and ice, and is ready for sunshine and spring. Sarah, on the other hand, is loving the snow-covered scenery and the blanket of tranquility that it brings. Join the conversation and let us know which camp you fall in, Team Winter or Team Anything But Winter.  
Today’s guest is Tasha Jun. Tasha is a melancholy daydreamer, a Korean girl, wife to Matt, and mama to three little warriors: two wild boys and one little lady. She loves French fries, world maps, coffee, spicy soup and wandering the world. As long as she can remember, she’s lived and stood in places where cultures collide, longing for home. Jesus found her in the middle of her lifelong homesickness and has been leading her towards wholeness ever since.

It’s Momnesia time, y’all! Today your podcast hosts are feeling a bit slap-happy, so please forgive us ahead of time. In our Catch Up at the beginning of the episode, Sarah shares about her latest adventure in rearranging furniture in her home. Who thinks it’s time for Sarah to start a blog chronicling the ever-changing layout of her home? (I’d read that.) Or, maybe she should start another side-gig (is this her third or fourth?) where she stages furniture for people in their homes. (I’d hire her.) We are hoping she has learned her lesson on moving grand pianos by herself, but the jury is still out. Stay tuned.
Julie gushes over her love of Adriene Mishler, the sweetest, goofiest, most authentic yogi you will ever find. Yoga With Adriene is a free, online, daily yoga class on YouTube (her channel has over 6 million subscribers!). If you’ve ever been interested to learn more about yoga or curious to try out the practice, this is a great place to get started in the comfort of your own home.  
Today’s guest is Lindsay Hotmire. Lindsay is a master message coach and copy expert who loves to work with coaches and leaders who know there's nothing formulaic about authenticity. Without a doubt, Lindsay's greatest accomplishment is her family. She lives in the Midwest with her husband and four kids, loves wine and bourbon, takes small walks with her out-of-shape puppy, and occasionally dreams about what life will be like in 5 years when she is an official empty nester. In this episode, Lindsay reflects not a single story of motherhood, but a series of vignettes that have been collected over time; tiny, little stories that come together to represent something even bigger.
