This week on Mature(ish) Mommas, we sat down with Sara—foster mom, adoptive mom, and real-life angel in leggings.

Her story starts with a blended family and a dream to grow it… but a medical emergency changed everything. After undergoing a hysterectomy due to a massive tumor, Sara and her husband thought their chance at having more children was over—until they discovered the world of foster care.

When they met a one-month-old baby boy with no family and no visitors, she went to the hospital every day just to hold him. That love? It changed his life—and hers. Eventually, she brought him home, adopted him, and opened her heart (and home) even further.

Sara’s story is one of selfless love, resilience, and the kind of motherhood that transcends biology. You’ll cry, you’ll laugh, and you’ll walk away inspired.

Megan’s road to motherhood was anything but typical. After 14 years of trying, she finally conceived her miracle baby, Caston Cruz—but the journey didn’t stop there.

From being labeled a “geriatric pregnancy” to navigating gestational diabetes, every step brought new challenges. And when it came time to give birth, she found herself in a delivery process that felt more controlled by doctors than by her own choices.

In this episode, Megan opens up about what she wishes she had known, the struggles of advocating for herself, and the power of trusting your instincts.

Whether you’re pregnant, hoping to be, or just love a good birth story, this one is full of honesty, resilience, and the unexpected twists of bringing a baby into the world.

Motherhood is full of mess, mayhem, and moments that make you want to crawl into a hole—but if you can’t laugh at yourself, what’s the point?

In this episode, we go totally unfiltered, answering a series of “embarrassing” questions live on the show, with zero prep and a whole lot of giggles.

The takeaway? Don’t take yourself too seriously. Life is messy, hilarious, and way more fun when you learn to laugh through the chaos.
