In this episode, we speak with Scarlett Longstreet, a madre of 3, who said EFF IT and decided to get out of her marriage before she thought she would. She had known it was over for a one time but was determined to stick through it till her kids graduated from high school. But she realized that she wasnât able to be the good mom that she always wanted to be because she was in a marriage that she knew was over. So, she got out of it, and even though it was hard, she knew it was the best decision she could make for herself and her kids. What would you do if your child came to you with the same issue that you are currently having? We want the best for our kids, but for some reason, sometimes, we donât give ourselves that same grace that we need. Itâs so important that we follow the advice that we would give our kids!

In this episode, we speak with Elise Grey, a madre of a little girl, who decided to say EFF IT and went on a trip to Europe that had been planned before she got pregnant. The trip date was set for 2 months after her due date, and although they heard it from everyone in regards to their opinions on whether or not she should still go on this trip or not, she decided she was gonna do it anyone, no matter how different and sometimes difficult traveling with a newborn can be. But, since doing that, she and her family continue to travel, and their daughter has adapted to change very quickly since sheâs been doing it since she was 2 months old. Donât let having kids stop you from living life. Make sure to still make time to do things that you enjoy, and travel if thatâs something you love.

In this episode, we speak with Augie Duke, a madre who decided to say EFF IT when she was getting dismissed by her doctors in regards to a concern that she had, and decided to keep seeking out other opinions because she just felt in her gut that something was wrong. And, geez, was she right! Had she not said EFF IT and continued to seek out other opinions, the blood clot that she ended up having couldâve taken her life and that of her unborn child, which she had to deliver early due to this concern. And, funny how the universe works, aside from this concern, she also was terrified of the fact that she could possibly not work again as an actor after becoming a mom. But, 5 weeks after having her son, she got an audition for a one time spot, that ended turning into 15 episodes. Seems like divine timing to us! You just have to trust your gut when something feels off, and believe that you can keep doing what you love, even if it seems impossible.

In this episode, we catch up with each other since starting Season 4, as we both have had a lot of things happening in our personal journeys. Also, we wanted to share with our listeners that we want to shake things up a bit and start introducing conversations that might be more uncomfortable and taboo. With a world so divided at the moment, we want to have honest, open and respectful conversations about topics that might, for some, be a little uncomfortable. We feel that itâs because people canât talk about these things in respectful ways that we are so divided at the moment. So, we want to open our space up to views that might differ from ours and come from a place of curiosity and understanding versus judgment. The EFF IT moments will still be our main conversations, but we wanted to change things up a bit moving forward. If there are topics you would like to hear us talk about, please share. Nothing is off the table! If youâre interested in following the projects we are working on, please go to www.herpowerpins.com and @herpowerpins on Instagram to follow Carlaâs work.

In this episode, we speak with Jenilee Dowling, a madre of one that said EFF IT to worrying about the idea of whether moving her child around to different places at a young age was a bad thing for him because it wasnât a good experience for her growing up when she was moved around. She had to recognize that her son is a different person, and the way that she and her partner are bringing their son into the decision making when it comes to making moves is very different to when she and her family moved around growing up. You just have to EFFing remember that it comes down to us in regards to how we present things to our kids. If we make something bad and scary, then they will see it as bad and scary. The same goes for the opposite. Also, remembering that letting our kids see us go through different emotions, and how we handle and regulate ourselves will show them how they should regulate themselves, and thatâs a huge lesson to learn that a lot of us didnât receive from our parents/caregivers. It all comes back to us! To check Jenilee and her offerings, go to www.readingsbyjenilee.as.me, and @jenileedowling on Instagram.

In our 1st episode for Season 4, we interviewed Ash Kelsch, who said EFF IT and decided to go back and heal the relationship she had with her mother once she became an empty nester herself. She had put everything aside from herself first, and realized that in order to be the mother her kids will continue to need, she need to go back and heal herself by facing the trauma and the rollercoaster of a relationship she had with her mother. Itâs a tough thing to do because even as adults, it can be hard for us to look at our parents and not feel all the things that would come up for us when we were kids. But, in order to move past all that, we have to get to a place where we can look at our parents as the flawed humans they, and we all are, and know that they were doing the best they could. We really are the ones that know what it is we truly need, so itâs important to really sit down and EFFing figure out what that is so that you can move forward in your life in a happy and healthy way. To follow Ash, please check her podcast called âWait, What?â at www.ashleykelsch.substack.com, and on Instagram at @ashkelsch.

In this episode, we speak with Richelle Davis, a madre of 3 boys, who said EFF IT to choosing to stay home with her first born instead of choosing to go back to work. She didnât want to miss being there for her kids, but also struggled with the shift in identity of always being a working, independent woman, to a SAHM dependent on her husbandâs income. Itâs unfortunate that she had to choose between the two because of the lack of support mothers have in this country. Luckily, she was able to figure out how to be home with her kids, start to bring in her own income, and come to a place in her motherhood journey where she now feels whole. You just have to EFFing believe that you are more capable than you think. Itâs easy for us to believe the negative self-talk. Letâs start to believe the opposite!

Being a mom is already super taxing. And, if you are trying to build a business on top of that, it can easily send a lot of us down a dark spiral, especially when we are pulled in so many directions that the light at the end of the tunnel can seem way dimmer than we like. A few weeks ago, Romi had hit a low, one that she hadnât hit in a while where she didnât even want to get out of bed. Like we have said many times before, these EFF IT âmomentsâ are actually pretty long journeys for most of us, and it can be full of super highs and super lows. And we thought it would be a good idea to just talk about what she was experiencing since so many moms suffer alone because we are expected to take on so much. She goes into to what took her there, and how she managed to get herself out. We donât want moms to feel alone, especially when it comes to mental health, because itâs hard not to go to dark places, sometimes. We can all be our own worst enemies, but itâs important to talk about these things so that others donât feel like they are alone. If youâre having a hard time, please reach out to a friend, or find a community of other moms that you feel comfortable confiding it. Itâs so important because when we are happy, so is the rest of our family!

In this episode, we speak with Amy Edwards, a madre of 2 daughters, who said EFF IT to people pleasing, and really finding what her true purpose was and living her life for her. At 40, she became a Rock ân Roller, and really started living a life that aligns with what she was feeling on the inside. And, she is the happiest she has ever been! Just know, that the best is yet to come! Just because we reach a certain age does not mean that our lives our over and we canât pursue what brings us joy. You EFFing have it within you to make your life the best that it can be. We arenât saying itâs an easy thing to do, but you must find the things that help you start believing that you are capable. To learn more about Amy and her journey, please check her out at www.amyedwards.info, Instagram at @realamyedwards, and on TikTok @themagicbabe.
