Hello our anxious mom friends! 🌿

Join us as we sit down with the incredible Cristina Frank of Flow to Grow Wellness for our very first Part 2 interview! Since her first appearance in Season 1, Cristina has had an inspiring GLOW UP — now hosting her own podcast, The Rediscovered Mother, and leading transformational retreats.

We recently attended Cristina’s yoga retreat in the Poconos, and let us tell you, it was everything we needed and more. We dive into the experience, from the beautiful moments of connection to the challenges of facing our own inner thoughts. We share what it felt like to be surrounded by like-minded women, all striving to become their best selves.

Cristina has a gift for lifting people up and holding space for them when they need it most. In this powerful conversation, we discuss what we learned at the retreat, the tools and resources we took away, and how we’re bringing this newfound energy back to our families and everyday lives.

We hope you love this episode as much as we do — it’s packed with honest moments, valuable insights, and an invitation to rediscover yourself along the way. 💛 Grab your coffee (or tea), get comfy, and let’s chat!

Hello our anxious mom friends!

Fall activities are everywhere—pumpkin patches, corn mazes, apple picking, hayrides—and while some moms dive headfirst into every autumn adventure, others pick and choose the activities that fit.

In this episode, Nikki and Alyssa share their own takes on fall family traditions.

Nikki loves getting her boys into the full fall spirit, while Alyssa prefers a more minimalistic approach to these seasonal outings.

Join us for a lighthearted chat about making the season your own and how, whether you do it all or keep it simple, you're still an awesome mom!

Hello our anxious mom friends!

This week, we sit down to chat about the chaotic yet joyful journey of having pets in a family with young kids. 🐾

If we had recorded this episode in Season 1, it would’ve been all about how our pets drove us nuts!

But now, with life a little less chaotic and our kids getting older, we’ve both welcomed new furry additions—a kitten for Nikki and a puppy for Alyssa.

We also reflect on the motherhood mantra, “This too shall pass,” and how it applies to both our kids and our pets.

Join us for laughs, real talk, and the realization that life’s crazy moments do eventually calm down—whether it’s with kids or pets!

If you’ve ever felt anxious about the “simple” stuff, you’re in good company.
