Need advice? Need to vent? Need somebody to know you were RIGHT? Momma, may I hear your side of the story? Leave us a voicemail!

This week on Mondays Are a Mother, we welcome back returning guest Kaila Wink for an honest conversation about family, addiction, and the complicated relationships that exist when the people you love are fighting battles of their own.

We catch up on the latest updates with Kaila’s siblings and their individual journeys with addiction, while digging into how those experiences have shaped their relationships with one another and, perhaps most importantly, their relationships with their children.

We talk about the ripple effects of addiction, the weight families carry, the boundaries we struggle to establish, and the hope that somehow keeps us holding on.

And, of course, Kaelynn asks the questions that make you stop and think, including the big one: “What is your prayer for your family?”

Because sometimes loving your family means celebrating the progress, grieving the setbacks, accepting what you cannot control, and continuing to pray for what you hope is still possible.

This one is about the messy, complicated, sometimes heartbreaking reality of family — and the hope that can exist even in the middle of it.

Tune in. It’s a conversation worth having

Episode Notes | Mondays Are a Mother

We’re a little fashionably late this week, but better late than never, right? Life has been lifing, schedules have been scheduling, and apparently we have some explaining to do.

This week we’re catching up, recapping what’s been happening since our last episode, and addressing the question that seems to be on everyone’s mind…

DO I ACTUALLY HAVE A BOYFRIEND, OR IS THIS WHOLE THING FAKE?!

The speculation, the questions, the theories, and apparently the public’s need for a relationship status update have officially made their way to the podcast. So let’s talk about it.

We’re getting caught up, clearing the air (or maybe adding a little more smoke), and having some fun with the things everyone thinks they know.

Because apparently, around here, even our dating lives need a press release.

Thanks for being patient with us while we’re a little behind. We’re back, we’ve got things to talk about, and you know we couldn’t leave you hanging.

Tune in, catch up!

As always, thanks for being here. 💋

This Week on Mondays Are a Mother 🎙️🖤

This week on MRAM, we’re recapping our time participating in Emo-Ween and diving into that all-too-familiar feeling of being out of place.

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try to fit in, something just doesn’t feel right. And maybe the lesson isn’t to change yourself, shrink yourself, or keep trying to make something work. Maybe it’s learning to accept things as they are, trusting what you feel, and recognizing that not every space is meant for you.

Because sometimes, feeling out of place doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you. Sometimes, it just means you’re in the wrong room.

This week, we’re talking about letting go of the need to belong everywhere, embracing the spaces where we can be ourselves, and understanding that we don’t have to force what doesn’t fit.

Tune in, because sometimes the room needs to change—not you. 🖤

Your Monday Mantra: I will no longer force myself to fit into spaces I’ve outgrown or places I was never meant to be.
