    075: Creating Our Own Family Traditions

    Now that we’re in our own home again, and Milo is growing older, I’m thinking more and more about traditions. 
     
    Our calendar felt devoid of special celebrations this year. And I want to feel more connected to my family in the New Year. 
     
    So, in this solo show episode, I share more about how I’m determined to build in meaningful rituals as 2021 unfolds.

    074: Rethinking What It Means to Give

    074: Rethinking What It Means to Give

    We're smack dab in the middle of giving season, and I'm facing off with my tendency to hold back the best of myself. 
    The quick convergence of marriage, motherhood and modern home economics was disorienting, and all of the responsibilities felt too heavy to hold. 
    So, I got into the habit of giving sparingly. Begrudgingly even. In the name of self preservation. 
    But now that I am resurfacing from the depths of early postpartum, I am ready to enter a new paradigm.
    And in this solo show episode of Young Honest Mother: The Podcast, I explore how I am rethinking what it means to give.

    073: Decorating One Moment At a Time

    Have you ever felt completely overwhelmed by interior design?
    I’ve been obsessed with the Dear Alice Podcast hosted by interior designers Jessica Bennett and Suzanne Hall of Alice Lane Interiors. 
    And in catching up on all the episodes, I’ve noticed that Jessica and Suzanne mention design “moments” often.
    In this solo show episode of Young Honest Mother: The Podcast, I dive deeper into what the concept means to me and how it has forever changed the scale of home decor. 
    Press play to hear how I’m now decorating our home one moment at a time. (*Spoiler Alert: I share all about a special moment I created in our kitchen- stay tuned for the “Reel Reveal” over on Instagram!)

    Ep. 072 Airing My Dirty Laundry

    Ep. 072 Airing My Dirty Laundry

    In all honesty, I am terrible at doing laundry. 
    I’ve ruined more of my husband’s clothes than I really care to count, and it’s been a very sore subject that’s haunted us throughout our nearly decade-long relationship.
    Every couple of weeks, my laundry transgressions pile up again and launch us into an age-old cycle of discussions that have never really moved the needle. 
    Until recently.
    And in Ep. 072 of Young Honest Mother: The Podcast, I’m airing my dirty laundry as I reflect on what shifted us out of the conversational rut that kept us overlooking the heart of the matter. 
    Press play to tune in. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this solo show episode.

Real + Refreshing

Maris is a breath of fresh air!! I’m not even a mama yet and I feel so encouraged knowing these resources are available to help bring light to any feelings of “I’m the only one” that a mother may be experiencing. She brings in helpful guests (I’m biased because I was one of them, but I’m referring to the OTHERS 😉) who share on a variety of topics and always brings her lovely perspective to the table, uninhibited and real. Thanks for what you’re putting out there, Maris!

Relatable and refreshing

Maris asks wonderful questions and touches on so many topics relevant to mothers today. The title fits — she is honest, authentic, and vulnerable about the highs and the lows of motherhood.

Honesty is STILL the best policy!

Maris is an excellent interviewer. Her episodes are engaging and informative. She graciously tackles taboo topics and investigates issues pertaining to women, especially moms who are young and young at heart.
