Ever had the urge to email your missionary’s mission president to explain your child’s quirks, apologize for 18 years of parenting, and offer a few disclaimers? Yeah… me too.

In today’s episode, we’re lightening things up and learning to laugh at the moments that usually send us into a shame spiral. Because let’s face it—sometimes the best medicine for a panicked mom brain is a little humor, especially when the situation is really just burnt toast, not a house fire.

Here’s what we cover:

• Why our urge to explain or defend doesn’t make us crazy—it just means we love hard
• How to recognize when our nervous system is overreacting (hello, Team Hyper)
• A collection of imaginary “Dear President” letters that will make you laugh out loud in the Costco parking lot
• The power of laughter to regulate emotions and break shame’s spell
• How to tell yourself the truer story when fear kicks in
• A powerful reminder that we’re not in charge of perfecting our missionaries (thank goodness for that!)

We wrap it all up with a story from a college professor that reminds us why taking life too seriously can be dangerous—and why lightening up is sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do.

This one’s for every mom who’s ever wanted to fix, explain, or defend—and is learning to laugh instead.

✨ Bonus Challenge: Write your own “Dear President” letter (but don’t send it).

When the house is quiet and the calendar emptier than it's ever been, loneliness can feel like a fog that won't lift. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal experience with that soul-deep ache—especially after sending off my youngest missionary and transitioning out of full-time motherhood.

We’re not talking about the kind of loneliness that a girls’ night can fix. We're talking about the kind that sneaks in during dinner-for-one, lingers in the silence, and makes you question your worth and purpose.

Here’s what we dive into:

• The difference between being alone and feeling unseen
• How loneliness is often grief in disguise
• Why naming the emotion is the first step to softening it
• How to stay onto your brain when it feeds you victim-y thoughts
• Tiny, meaningful ways to reconnect—with yourself, with God, and with others

I also share a story about fear, surgery, and a wise yoga teacher that helped me shift how I move through hard emotions. If you’re in a season of quiet, emptiness, or transition, this episode is here to remind you: you are not broken, you're not behind, and you're not alone.

This episode is for the women in the middle—the ones answering emails from missionaries while navigating doctor appointments with aging parents. The ones holding everyone’s emotions, while their own heart quietly stretches and breaks.

Today we talk about how to stay anchored when life pulls you in opposite directions.

You'll learn:

• How to support your missionary without abandoning yourself
• How to love your parents without losing your sovereignty
• How to be onto your brain when it starts whispering victim-y lies

We’re not here to spiritually bypass hard things. We're here to show up, even when it’s messy. You’ll hear the mindset shift I use to avoid resentment (even during fast and testimony meeting 😉) and how to protect your energy without pretending everything is fine.

This is deep work—but it's the kind that leaves you feeling steady, empowered, and like you.

And as always, your missionary doesn’t need a perfect mom. They need a real one.
One who’s learning to live from her calm center.
