Life Has Been Lifing: My First Panic Attack in 15 Years (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Well, mamas. Life has been lifing. This one is longer and more honest than usual. I took on one more thing than I had room for, and my body let me know. Less sleep, food that was not fueling me, no movement. Three weeks later I had my first panic attack in fifteen years. In this episode I talk about what it looked like to keep showing up for Korbin when I could not access my favorite self, why I asked for a replacement at a job I genuinely loved, and how Kelton stepped in the way only he does. I
We're Breathing Again: Health, Growth & Finding Our Groove (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After a season of hospital stays, health scares, and putting almost everything else on pause, life is finally starting to feel a little lighter. In this life update, I’m sharing where we’re at with Korbin’s health, the possible chlorine connection we’ve noticed, slowly getting back into business and my master’s program, big changes coming to our local mom community, and the very real process of weaning an almost-three-year-old. Plus, apparently Korbin can casually add dice together now, so there
The Roller Coaster Continues: Another Hospital Stay, Advocating for Korbin & Finding Hope (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two hours after recording my last update, Korbin’s oxygen dropped to 86—and we were headed back to the hospital. Since then, we’ve had another hospital stay, a pulmonologist appointment that left me in tears, medication decisions I never expected to be making, and a LOT more questions. But we’ve also had some big wins, new doctors in our corner, and—for the first time in a while—a little more hope. Here’s where we are on this crazy roller coaster. Everything I've built for mamas and little ones
The Parenting Word Every Family Needs: Phubbing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever caught yourself reaching for your phone without even thinking about it? A while back, I learned a new word that completely changed the way our family talks about screen time: phubbing —short for phone snubbing . It means ignoring the person you're with to look at your phone instead. Since learning the term, my husband and I have started calling each other out whenever one of us is "phubbing." It's become part of our family vocabulary—and recently, our almost-3-year-old joined in. W
When Every Cough Feels Like an Emergency: Parenting After Two Hospital Stays (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A simple runny nose. A cough. For most families, it's just another childhood illness. For us, it has become something much bigger. In this episode, I'm sharing what life has really looked like after Korbin's second hospitalization for respiratory distress. The fear that shows up with every cough. The constant second-guessing. Trying to figure out when to stay home, when to call the doctor, and when it's time to head back to the hospital. I also talk about navigating new medications, learning abo
