EP. 145 Cheers to Season 4!

We did it, mamas! Another season in the books! It wasn’t always smooth sailing, but we made it through and we’re celebrating every bit of it. In this season wrap-up episode, the mamas keep it real with a fun, lighthearted conversation about summer plans, balancing work and motherhood, and the questions that have been living rent-free in our heads… Like why are little boys’ haircuts costing grown-man prices these days? And why did nobody warn us that periods after 35 would be this disrespectful? Grab your favorite summer drink and join us for laughs, relatable mama moments, and one last chat before we take our summer break. Thank you for rocking with us this season! We’ll see y’all in the fall!   Connect with us on social media: IG - @therealmamapod  Devon - @devgrace_  Kendra - @kendraferg_  Visit our website www.therealmamapod.com [http://www.therealmamapod.com] for FATHER'S DAY and GODPARENTNMERCH!

EP. 143 Fatherhood Beyond Blood

In this episode of The Real Mama Pod, we’re having a real and heartfelt conversation about what it means to be a father beyond biology, with our good brother and friend, Elliott Kiadii.  We dove into the love, commitment, challenges, and beauty that come with being a bonus dad. We talk about what it looks like to step into a child’s life with intention, build trust, navigate blended family dynamics, and show up consistently… even when the journey isn’t always easy. This conversation is for the dads who choose love daily, the mamas navigating blended families, and anyone redefining what family truly means. Because fatherhood isn’t only about DNA... it’s about presence, sacrifice, patience, and unconditional love.
