Feeling overstimulated, touched out, or just plain burnt out as a mom? You’re not the only one—and you’re in the right place.
M.O.M. Files - Moments of Motherhood is a cozy, conversation-style show for moms who are craving connection, not perfection. A place where the hard things have room to exist without shame.
Think intentional, honest chats (full of reflections), not structured advice from moms in the thick of it—mentally, emotionally, and physically. This is for you if you feel unseen by hustle culture, Pinterest parenting, and toxic positivity. You’re not broken – you’re just in it, and we see you.
Join us Wednesdays for realistic wisdom, gentle validation, and encouragement from the trenches. Take what works, leave what doesn’t—no judgment, pressure, or perfection. Just presence, permission, and the reminder that you’re never alone in this.
Welcome to your village.
