Life's Ebb and Flow

from MOM TALK · host Jordan Rye and Victoria McGaha

We’re Back: Grief, Life Updates, and Finding Our Way AgainWe’re back after a long break, and I’m sharing honestly why recording stopped—grief has come in waves, and once the busy “to-do” list for my mom started wrapping up, it got harder instead of easier. We catch you up on what’s been going on: dance competitions that felt full of signs from my mom, spring break highlights and the emotions of Julianne’s baby shower. We also celebrate my niece LJ coming home from the NICU, talk about perimenopause and how grief has shown up in my body, and chat about Remi’s kindergarten kickoff as the kids keep growing up fast.00:00 We Are Back01:15 Break And Grief03:06 Handling Mom Tasks05:16 Signs At Dance08:08 Spring Break Recap08:26 Discovery Park Trip12:16 Food And Mall Stops15:52 Home Projects And Pool17:21 Niece Comes Home18:41 NICU and Heart Surgery19:29 Feeding Tube Fears20:32 Spring Break Recap21:17 Kindergarten Kickoff23:43 Teachers and Transitions25:54 Kids Growing Up Fast27:21 Baby Shower Emotions29:55 Grief in the Body32:40 First Holidays Without Mom35:05 It Is What It Is35:42 Wrap Up and Follow

Humanizing Change Tremendousness Join us each episode as we talk with innovators in their respective fields about their unique journeys and how they humanize change in their own work, right here, on Humanizing Change. AI Erik's Podcast Audio Erik Conn The AI News Podcast where we talk AI. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
