Approximately 358,000 babies are born every day.

One in 12 mothers experience preeclampsia.

One in 10 of those mothers DON'T know.

Symptoms that are the same as regular pregnancy fatigue can easily be overlooked, but Nailed It Motherhood Podcast is thankful that it's humorous, lovely guest, Lisa Lopez, was taken seriously when she crashed into parenthood. Since she knew nothing about this serious condition, for which the only cure is to push, she now makes it her goal to bring more awareness through laughter and social media. Hear how Lisa's plans for Thanksgiving dinner turned into a 10-day stay at the hospital and learn how she copes with that scare.

In this powerful episode of Nailed It Motherhood, we meet a mom who is the embodiment of strength, purpose, and Black love. Fueled by the wisdom and warmth of her late grandfather, she has cultivated a parenting journey rooted in Black excellence, raising three boys to know their worth, their power, and their purpose.

From the outside, the odds were stacked against her: young, single, and Black. But she refused to let society write her story. With unwavering determination, she not only rewrote the narrative—she burned the old one down. Her mantra? Outcomes outweigh what you’re going through.

What began with advocating for herself and her children during birth evolved into a greater calling. Now a proud birthing advocate and author of an inspiring eBook, she uses her voice to encourage others to reclaim their power during the most sacred of life’s moments—birth. This episode is a call to action for parents to not just survive the system, but to rise above it and reconnect with the root of it all: love.

Tune in as we unpack her journey from statistic to standard-setter, and learn how she agitates systems in the name of healing, heritage, and hope.

You would never guess this was the first time we met—because the conversation flowed like we’d known each other for years.

In this Against the Grain episode, we got into the real and the raw: divorce, grief, healing, legacy, and breaking free from the weight of a poverty mindset. We even laughed a little about Netflix’s Forever, and reflected on how God places the right people in your life right on time.

Ama brings a powerful blend of professional insight and personal resilience. As an expert in trust and collaboration, she’s no stranger to navigating complex spaces—and yet, it’s her role as a mom, friend, and woman walking in divine purpose that shines brightest.

This one is for anyone who’s ever had to rebuild, reimagine, or rediscover themselves—while raising babies and holding onto a dream.

Tap in and share with someone who needs this reminder: you can live boldly against the grain and still be right on purpose.

A perfect family. Does it exist? To this mom, a perfect family IS a happy mom and her kids. In this moving episode of Nailed It Motherhood, we’re joined by a courageous mother who opens up about her journey through life’s wilderness—not once, but twice—and how those challenging seasons ultimately led her to purpose, peace, and a new definition of family.

After finding herself in relationships that didn’t align with the path God had for her, she was forced to slow down, be still, and listen. Living in her grandmother’s bustling home after the birth of her son, she began journaling her way through pain—and discovered the voice of God in the quiet. That obedience birthed her first book, "Walk With Purpose, Not On Purpose."

In her words: “Just because the circumstances aren't ideal doesn’t mean your baby doesn’t desire life on this earth.”

Now, she is thriving as a mother, author, and mentor to young girls—teaching them to love themselves and trust their journey. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing is possible, peace is attainable, and sometimes, the perfect family is the one you create—just you and your kids.

Tune in for a conversation filled with faith, growth, purpose, and the strength of a truly happy mom.
