Hearts, Hugs and Hidden Trauma

Don't Go In The Basement (Unless There's a Pony!)

Listen to how I learned that I am the EXACT target demographic for those "Free Puppies" signs on windowless vans. In this week’s episode of Love Mom, Sprinkles of Chaos, I recount the time my bestie and I delivered a pink fairy cake to an empty farmhouse and ended up in a basement freezer. Was it a Dateline episode in the making? Probably. Was it worth it to pet a donkey? Absolutely. This episode contains a bonus recipe! Stay safe and bake carefully! Love, Mom

Introducing The Crap Shack

What do you do when your new house smells like a litter box and your oven won’t open? You get to work! Today I’m telling the story of the "Crap Shack" and my highly questionable DIY skills. Stick around for the end, though, because we’re getting real about the fact that every room where people are talking about the news, there is someone sitting quietly with a story of their own.

Hearts, Hugs and Hidden Trauma

I love a theme. I love the magic of holidays. But for a long time, Valentine’s Day has held a lot dark memories for me. 🖤 In this week’s episode of Love, Mom, Sprinkles of Chaos, I’m ripping off the band-aid and talking about the honest truth of healing from abuse. Even 10 years later, trauma still finds a way to creep in. If you are struggling, masking your pain, or feel like you should be "further along" in your healing journey, know that you are not alone. Let’s talk about it. #HealingJourney #DomesticAbuseAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #LoveMomPodcast #TraumaRecovery This episode features two incredible poems - For Her by Nikita Gill and a poem by Amanda Lovelace

It's Raining Pigs!

In this episode we see just how far the people pleaser in me will go! We travel back in time to my photography days, visit a farm or two, relive a little childhood trauma, and learn that all I really need is to snuggle something cute every now and then! Learn from me, and remember, it's okay to say no, especially if it means that you won't have to replace your flooring! Enjoy! Love, Mom

Bonus Episode - The Dating Archives

Think your dating life is chaotic? Grab a drink and settle in for three true tales of disaster from my Plenty of Fish era. From a Denny's date who tried to order me mashed potatoes, to a midnight coffee date with a guy who DEFINITELY wasn't a French Chef, this episode is a hilariously honest cautionary tale. Happy Valentine's Day! Love, Mom.
