In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Karen, a mother who tragically lost her 20-year-old daughter, Alyssa, after she took a pain pill that claimed her life. Karen opens up about the immense grief of losing a child as well as struggles around divorce and mental health.

But out of heartbreak, Karen has created a beautiful legacy for Alyssa. Through her organization, Alyssa’s Wishes, she paints beautiful rocks with uplifting messages that people spread around the world, bringing light and kindness to strangers. She also started a neighborhood library in Alyssa’s honor, extending her daughter’s love of reading into the community.

This conversation is about more than loss—it’s about resilience, creativity, and how even in the darkest times, hope can be shared. Karen’s story is a reminder that small acts of kindness can ripple outward, touching countless lives.

Mamas who have walked the road of infertility hold such a tender place in my heart because of my own personal journey. So when I first came across Jamie and her incredible artwork, I knew I needed to hear her story.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Jamie from @glitterenthusiast to talk about how she transformed one of the most difficult chapters of her life—infertility—into something both healing and beautiful. Using the very IVF needles that once represented pain and challenge, Jamie began creating stunning art that became both a form of self-care and a source of hope.

She opens up about:

• How painting helped her process and care for herself during her infertility journey

• The way she now supports and uplifts others walking through infertility through her artwork

• Why she believes art has the power to bring healing and connection to everyone

And let me just say—her pieces are truly breathtaking. I highly encourage you to go see her work for yourself!

Get ready, Mama Sisterhood family, for one of the most incredible episodes I've ever recorded. Seriously, today's interview made me laugh, cry, and just sit stunned again and again, taking in the strength of this amazing mama. Today's guest, Brie, was in her second trimester when she began to feel sick and felt she likely had the flu. Instead of the flu, though, Brie had strep A which quickly led to sepsis, a c-section at 27 weeks, and the need to be intubated and placed on a ventilator. Brie's odds were not good and her family was prepared for the worst, but she fought.

The medicine that saved her life, though, came at a cost - it diverted blood flow toward her heart and lungs... but that meant it was diverted away from her arms and legs which led to amputation of all four limbs.

Part 1 of Brie's story today shares from pregnancy throughout her hospital stay. I can't even do her story justice by summarizing it in show notes so just believe me when I say, you HAVE to hear this story.

Twins are amazing - I have twins, some of my good friends have twins - but this twin story is different because today's mama, Chelsea, has conjoined twins. Chelsea found out at her anatomy scan that her twin girls were conjoined, sharing the same pelvis and legs as well as several internal organs. Declining the termination that was suggested, Chelsea's daughters beat the odds that were stacked against them (the percentage of conjoined twins who live past birth is fairly low) to be born healthy and without any major medical issues. Chelsea opens up about the incredible journey her girls have traveled, but she also shares about some of the hard parts, such as hearing others say things that break her heart. Today, Callie and Carter are happy and healthy and although they are conjoined, they don't let it stop them - they may even use it to their advantage here and there when it comes to finishing homework!

This is an adoption story....but not just any adoption story. Today's mama, Kelly, was born with spina bifida and she met her husband, who also has spina bifida, when they were ten years old! After coming in and out of each others lives multiple times as they grew up, they eventually married and decided to adopt. They felt especially pulled to an agency who specialized in placing children with disabilities, and this is where they heard about a set of birth parents who were about to have a little girl with spina bifida. Kelly and her husband knew it was the right match and they adopted their daughter, Hadley. It hasn't been easy, though,and Kelly shares some heartbreaking stories of discrimination they faced when adopting their daughter. She also shares specific examples of how having the same disability as her daughter will help Hadley both now and in the future. This family is AMAZING, and it was such an honor to hear their story.
