Weâve covered a lot of ground this season, so todayâas a grand finale before we break for sabbaticalâweâre doing a quick refresher on our favorite episodes. As we rehash what stuck with usâlike asking better questions, gathering around the table with our families, and how technology is affecting our kidsâwe also give a quick update on some previously mentioned intentions (gotta love public accountability!). If youâre looking for some fun life-savers before the end of summer, Ashlee shares her go-to Costco âEnglish Muffin Situation,â and Katie raves about the decaf cold brew sheâs drinking on tap. If you missed any of the episodes mentioned, thereâs plenty of time to play catchup over the summer while you try to remove sand from your kidsâ swimsuits.

Today weâre going backâwaaay backâand reliving the nostalgic moments, foods, songs, and smells of our younger years. Katie reminisces about the fresh scent of dewy grass on the soccer field and her Nonaâs simmering spaghetti, while Ashlee shares about her childhood days doused in chlorine and the love language of her youth: mixed CDs, featuring Dashboard and Death Cab. Of course, we couldnât chat about adolescence in the â90s without taking an intoxicating stroll through Bath & Body Works and remembering the anticipation of TGIF gracing our televisions. We hope this episode inspires you to crank up that old school jam and take a trip of your own down memory lane.

Get the tissue box out, because today weâre feeling ALL THE FEELS as we talk about launching kids into the world. Katie chats with C+Câs mentor mom Krista Gilbert and C+C writer Sonya Spillmann, both of whom hate to admit the adage is true: the days are long but the years are short. Youâll hear how these seasoned moms are leaning into the highs and lows of a long season of lasts, how theyâre marking this special time with tailored celebrations, and how theyâre caring for themselves along the way (spoiler alert: Sonyaâs answer involves horseback riding!). Whether your baby is finishing kindergarten or heading to college in the fall, we hope this episode encourages you to embrace whatever transitional season of motherhood youâre in.

From the simple gift of heartfelt cards to how we really feel about surprise parties, today weâre diving into the art of celebrating. Youâll also hear why Ashleeâs recent birthday was a smashing success (spoiler alert: clear communication is key!), and why Katie is fully embracing a âgo big or go homeâ mentality as she plans for her 40th next year.

Friends, grab your notepad and pen before you hit play on this one. Licensed professional counselor, renowned author, and co-host of the Raising Boys and Girls podcast Sissy Goff (!) is with us todayâand youâre going to want to write down everything she says. Sissy is both a beacon of light and a wealth of tangible advice. We chat about fostering deep connections with our kids, guiding children toward self-confidence, and even some simple steps to change the trajectory of our families if we need a restart on the path toward healing. Sissyâs encouragement is equal parts practical and profound, and she saves her best piece of advice for last. We hope this conversation gives you reassurance and hope for parenting the exact kid(s) God knew you needed.

How do we guide our kids as they grow up in a world where the internet is infused in practically everything they touch? Today, renowned researcher Dr. Jean Twenge joins us for an eye-opening conversation about how smartphones are affecting kidsâand also us. We chat about the link between social media and depression, how boys and girls are influenced differently, and how screen time affects younger children. While this topic can often feel overwhelming and/or doomsday-esque, Dr. Twenge offers us a good mix of tangible suggestions, practical tips, and the much-needed reminder that we need to model healthy relationships with our own smartphones first. Whether youâre already navigating the phone situation with your older teens, or rocking babies and not thinking about any of this yet, we hope this episode informs and encourages you as you continue making decisions around technology in your home.

Does getting your entire family around the table feel impossible at times? Between long commutes and conflicting sports schedules, nursing babies and pure exhaustion, there are plenty of reasons why we struggle to get around the tableâeven though we know it matters. According to Katieâs stellar research and our own at-home attempts, eating together can foster connection, protect mental health, reduce stress, and make room for intentional conversations. This episode is certainly not a how-to on proper meals and table manners (if you only knew!), but rather a new-ish practice in our homes we hope you can pull up a seat for. Remember, it doesnât matter what shade of beige youâre feeding your familyâquesadillas and Dino Nuggets countâas long as youâre serving it with a side of grace.

Tap, tap. Is this thing on? Weâre officially back after a looooong (unplanned) break, which is why weâre kicking this episode off with an official State of the Podcast address. Thank you for your grace and patience with us! Today weâre diving into the annoyances that donât bother us (as much) as they once did. Youâll hear how Ashleeâs no longer rattled by crying babies, how Katieâs proudly sporting tank tops (get it, girl!), and how Jill is learning to let go of what others think of her. Whether youâre someone whoâs easily irkedâlike two-thirds of usâor you stroll through life unruffled, we hope this conversion encourages you to feel less flustered by, or maybe even fully free of, something thatâs been getting under your skin.

Ashlee acknowledges the gift of putting down forks and being fully present, Katie gives us the lowdown on the five-minute phone call, and Jill shares her conviction to finally put on the swimsuit and jump in the lake.

Today weâre talking about the importantâand sometimes misrepresentedâtopic of adoption. Katie chats with Becky (an adoptive mom) and Jamie (an adoptee) about the complexities and layers of this calling that most of the world never sees.
Becky shares the steep learning curve of being an adoptive parent, but also the undeniable gifts and joys God has shown her along the way. Jamie speaks honestly about the grief sheâs walked through, sheds light on some common misconceptions about adoption, and moves us deeply when she talks about embracing her belovedness. Although adoption plays a different role in each of these womenâs lives, both have come to the same conclusion: Godâs grace is abundant, and He is in the business of making things new.

From soccer mom acquaintances to soul sisters, today weâre talking about different kinds of friendships and all things friendship with author and podcaster, Laura Tremaine. We chat about making friends a priority, believing the best in each other, and the less fun (but necessary!) stuff like navigating DTRs, friendship reckonings, and even break-ups. Plus, Laura shares a few tips for meeting new friends on the internet. (Did you know your C+C hosts met each other online!?) We hope this conversation inspires you to take a few minutes to pursue and appreciate the beautiful friendships in your own life.

From the nitty gritty logistics to the right heart posture, today weâre talking all things hospitality. Sparkling floors and perfectly fluffed pillows: optional. Inviting people into our homes, as is, for real connection and real conversation: essential. Whether you enjoy cooking a beautiful three-course meal, or youâd rather serve store-bought cookies on a paper plate, we hope this episode encourages you to welcome old and new friendsâand maybe that neighbor you keep meaning to talk toâinto your life, mess and all. Plus, Katie gives a very convincing argument on why sheet pan nachos are the perfect food to serve any crowd.

We vacuum crumbs only to have little hands drop more on the floor, and we try to figure out whatâs for dinner (again!). At times, the monotony of being a mom can leave us wondering: does this even matter? Today, Jill and Katie talk with Coffee + Crumbs writer and author of All Who Are Weary, Sarah Hauser, who reminds us that although so much of motherhood goes unseen, God notices ordinary faithfulness and can use the most mundane moments for his glory. If youâre feeling weary, we hope this conversation refreshes your soul and reminds you that youâre seen, youâre deeply loved, and your work matters.

After a loooong winter hiatus, weâre back just in time to celebrate the launch of Ashleeâs book, Create Anyway, which is now officially out in the wild (!). From infusing art into the most mundane tasks to reframing creativity as a posture, today weâre chatting about how creativity has changed us (and our mothering!) for the better. Plus, Katie and Ashlee get a little teary-eyed talking about photography. We hope this episode reminds you that creativity is valuable and worth carving out space forânot in spite of motherhood, but because of motherhood.

In our last episode of 2022, please queue up the dramatic music and prep the stage for an imaginary awards ceremony celebrating the best moments, products, and people that have brightened our year. From the natural deodorant that doesnât leave Jill smelling like greek salad (lol) to the bike shorts that made Katie finally realize sheâs not as insecure as she used to beâmost of these awards are silly, but some of them are meaningful, too. We hope this lighthearted conversation inspires you to create your own Best of 2022 list for the year!

What is it like to be sober in a society that glamorizes and makes light of drinking so often, especially in correlation with motherhood? Today weâre chatting with Dana Bowmanâa mother in recoveryâwho shares how she once found validation in âWine Momâ culture, before hitting rock bottom in 2014. Through the honest lens of her own experience, Dana offers some alternative ways we can approach conversations, hospitality, and even social media posts more empathetically, to support those struggling with alcohol use.
If you think you or a loved one is struggling with alcohol use, we hope this episode meets you with grace and encourages you to take the next right step toward health and healing.

From five-dollar simple pleasures to the splurges that were totally worth it, today weâre sharing a few of our favorite things. While Jill teaches us how to level up our at-home spa game (hello, eucalyptus shower spray!), Katie is here to convince us that mushroom coffee is definitely worth trying. Plus, Ashleeâs undying love for the weighted blanket continues, per her confession of hauling all fifteen pounds of it when she travels. Whatever you fill your cart with this week, we hope you have a cozy and happy Thanksgiving! This episode is not sponsored by Aquaphor (or anyone for that matter), but it probably could have been.

Today weâre talking with Aundi Kolberâa mother, professional counselor, and authorâabout motherhood and trauma. For many of us, trauma is a word we have reserved for people who have gone through life-altering, dangerous, or abusive experiences, and we have never given attention to the âlittle t traumasâ that add up over a lifetime. No matter where you are, or what youâve survived, Aundi compassionately walks us through this important conversation on honoring your story, learning how to be a mother even if you didnât have a great example, and taking care of yourself so you can, in turn, take care of others. Youâll also learn a few ways to parent with empathy, so you can guide your children through their own pain. Whether youâve endured a devastating circumstance, or many months of overwhelm, we hope this episode encourages you to make space for healing.
