This week I’m sharing the moment my kids discovered why I love WWE — and how the Attitude Era became a core memory in our house. After they asked me why I’m such a wrestling fan, I introduced them to Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Undertaker in the iconic Buried Alive match (yes… with the excavator 😅). Their reaction to classic WWE vs. today’s wrestling was everything.

We’re talking about growing up with wrestling, Attitude Era nostalgia, sharing your childhood with your kids, and why it matters to let them see who you were before motherhood. I also dive into my rock collection, the meaning behind it, and the family rule that will get you shunned if you don't follow it. ( jk or am I? lol)

If you love WWE, Stone Cold, The Undertaker, wrestling memories, parenting older kids, raising teens, mom life, and creating real connections through the things you loved growing up — this episode is for you. (Pat Mcafee is the annoucer who forgot. ;-/)

Valentine’s Day parenting hits different when you’re raising teens. In this episode, I talk about giving kids Valentine’s Day gifts, helping them choose gifts for others, navigating teen crushes, and when friend-Valentines make more sense than romance.

We cover kindness, bullying, protecting kids’ hearts, and what to get a teen boy for Valentine’s Day. I also share how Valentine’s traditions change over time, my husband’s tradition versus my quieter one, and why the love kids grow up with becomes the love they look for later.

A gentle, honest Valentine’s Day episode about family, boundaries, and raising kind humans.

Happy Valentine’s Day 💗

Yelling doesn’t mean you’re a bad parent—it means your nervous system is overwhelmed. In this episode, we talk about how taking intentional breaks (even just 30 seconds) can help you regulate your emotions, stop yelling, and respond instead of react.

When parents pause, kids feel safer

When kids feel safer, behavior improves This isn’t about “perfect parenting” or gentle parenting guilt. It’s about breaking the cycle of reactive discipline and raising healthier, happier kids with emotional regulation skills that actually last.

If you’re stuck in a yelling cycle, feeling overstimulated, burnt out, or touched-out, this episode is for you. We’ll unpack why yelling happens, how your nervous system affects your kids, and simple regulation tools you can use in real life—mid-meltdown, mid-chaos, mid-day.

Because when we regulate ourselves, we change the emotional climate of our homes—and that’s how generational cycles end.

Winter storm feeds were full of exploding trees, frozen cows, and straight-up chaos — but what’s actually real?

In this quick bonus clip, I’m breaking down the truth behind the viral winter freeze claims so parents can stay informed without the panic spiral. Fast facts, zero fluff, and just enough sense to keep it grounded.

Perfect mini listen if you’re navigating cold weather, power outage prep, or storm rumors with kids in the house.

Winter Storm 2026 hit Texas, and for the first time, I had to prepare for a winter storm while solo parenting in a state I’m still learning. From panic grocery runs and power grid anxiety to dripping faucets, manual toilet flushing, and unexpected moments of strength, this episode is a real-life look at motherhood, mental load, and doing hard things even when you’re exhausted. I share what it’s like to model bravery for your kids, the surprise of the military clearing my husband to come home early (after the storm), and the quiet moments that mattered most.

In this episode of Shhh, My Kids Are Asleep, I sit down with my daughter to talk about the Instagram account she thought was a secret for three years. Spoiler: it wasn’t as hidden as she thought. I discovered it quietly, said nothing, and waited. After a big family move to Texas, we finally talked about it all.

This is an honest online convo.

If you’re a parent navigating Instagram, secret accounts, digital boundaries, or just trying to keep an open line with your teen, this episode is for you. No yelling. No shaming. Just curiosity, accountability, and real conversation.

A bonus episode about a first car ferry ride in Louisiana, Texas road trips, trusting detours, and parenting on the move.

My husband wanted to take the scenic route home from Louisiana, which felt questionable at first… until it wasn’t. We talk about road trips in the truck, kids missing California beaches, and the moment you realize the Gulf looks surprisingly familiar. A low-key episode about detours, perspective, and letting the ride unfold.
