Choosing Childcare: What to Look For

Welcome back to Omaha Mom Talks! I’m so excited to have you join us for today’s episode. Finding childcare can feel overwhelming - especially for new parents. Long waitlists, different types of programs, safety concerns, and the emotional reality of leaving your baby in someone else's care can make the process feel like a lot. In this episode, I sit down with Omaha mom and early childhood expert, Molly Colling, to break down how parents can navigate the childcare search with more confidence. Molly shares practical guidance on what quality childcare really looks like, how to evaluate programs, and what questions parents should be asking when they interviewing childcare providers. If you’re pregnant, returning to work, or currently trying to find the right childcare fit for your family, this episode will help you feel more informed and empowered. What to Expect • How early families should realistically start looking for childcare • The different types of licensed childcare in Nebraska (center-based vs. in-home care) • What actually defines quality childcare beyond toys and decorations • Signs to look for when visiting a childcare program • Important questions parents should ask childcare providers • Red flags parents should pay attention to when touring a program One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation: there isn’t one perfect childcare option for every family. The best program is the one that supports your child’s development while fitting your family’s needs and values.

Birth Trauma and the NICU: Healing After a Difficult Start

In this episode, we’re having a really important conversation about something many moms experience but don’t always have the space to talk about openly - birth trauma and the NICU experience.

In this powerful and deeply important conversation, I’m joined by Samantha Wall - Omaha mom, public health professional, and founder of The Omaha Better Birth Project. Together, we explore birth as more than a medical event - it is a human, emotional, and systems-level experience that can shape families for years to come.

What to Expect: In this episode, we discuss: · How Samantha’s first birth experience led her into advocacy work · The emotional realities of motherhood during pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond · What an empowered and supportive birth experience can be · What The Omaha Better Birth Project is doing to close gaps in care and access · What doulas actually do and how they can transform the birth experience · How partners and support people can show up more effectively At its core, this conversation is about ensuring families feel seen, heard, and supported during one of life’s most vulnerable transitions.

More Than a Mom

Welcome back to Omaha Mom Talks! I’m so excited to have you join us for today’s episode. Season 4 opens with a deeply personal solo episode from me, Jessie, - therapist, mom, grieving daughter, and host - reflecting on identity, motherhood, and what it means to remain a whole person while raising children. I share the story behind starting this podcast in the midst of profound grief after losing both of my parents, and how creating Omaha Mom Talks became both a creative outlet and a path back to myself. This episode gently invites mothers to consider an important truth: motherhood is a role you hold - it is not the totality of who you are. What to Expect: In this episode, we explore: Why so many mothers quietly feel like they've disappeared inside motherhood The cultural pressure toward self-sacrifice and the "mommy matyr" pattern How losing yourself is often an adaptation - not a failure Permission to reconnect with the parts of you that existed before motheroood Why you don't need a "big thing" to reclaim yourself - small moments count How to tolerate mom guilt as you begin caring your own wellness Gentle questions to help you rediscover your interests and identity This episode is a gentle reminder that you are allowed to be both a devoted mother and a whole human Omaha Mom Talks – real moms, authentic conversations, no filter needed.

It’s amazing to be able to talk about the things “that aren’t supposed to be talked about”. I love that we are in a world where we can say “I don’t feel ok” and that’s ok! Love this podcast, she is truly building a community.
Real Talk!
