In this episode, I’m sharing the real questions I’ve been asking myself as a woman, mom, and wife — the kind that make you stop, reflect, and get honest about your life. From motherhood and marriage to balancing everything (mah) and figuring out what actually matters, this is a “pause and think” kind of conversation.

In this deeply personal episode of Add Me to the Group Chat, my husband Allen and I share the story of our daughter Tinley Maddox Lykins. Thirteen years ago, we experienced the unimaginable when Tinley was stillborn after I was unknowingly living with undiagnosed Type 1 diabetes. This episode is our way of honoring her life and sharing our journey through grief, healing, and becoming parents again to our two boys. We talk about the signs we didn’t understand at the time, the questions we wish we had asked, and how we continue to keep Tinley part of our family every single day. Our hope in sharing this story is to help other moms and families who have experienced pregnancy loss feel less alone, and to bring awareness to the realities of stillbirth and maternal health. Tinley will always be part of our story, and part of our family.   📞 NEW — Leave Us a Voicemail!

From being picked on in school to navigating toxic leadership in the church, we talked about the painful moments, the trigger words, and how silence shaped us… until now.

This episode is one of the hardest — and most important — conversations I’ve had on this podcast. My mom sat down with me and opened up about the abuse she went through with me and my sister’s biological father — including violent moments, years of trauma, and even driving him to and from prison during his work release.

We also talked about premenopause, homeschooling, our family history, and the unpublished book written by my grandmother. It’s a heavy episode, but it’s filled with truth, strength, and the kind of honesty that could help so many women who feel trapped, silenced, or afraid.

If chaos had a podcast episode… this is it. I sat down with my hilarious (co-host) bestie Courage and we talked about everything — being ghosted by our nail techs, no-show appointments, how we used to dress (and regret), our spoiled dogs, and yes… how she gave me my Christmas gift 6 months late. We laughed the entire time, but somehow still dropped gems of wisdom that someone out there needs to hear. This episode is for the girls who get it — the ones who juggle friendships, beauty appointments, real life and still show up (eventually). Come hang with us for the randomness, the realness, and the reminder that even in the mess, we’re doing just fine.   Submit any questions or stories here: [email protected] Business Inquiries: [email protected] website: www.lykbuttah.com

This one’s real and raw—in the best way. Allen and I sat down to talk about what life really looks like these days: my diabetes journey, crying over everything now that I’m 39 (literally everything), the seasons where we were broke, building our dream home, dreaming about farm animals, and running a business while keeping our marriage strong. We laughed (a lot), I cried (obviously), and we got honest about how far we’ve come and what we’re still learning. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed and blessed at the same time, this episode is for you.  

This episode is a heart-to-heart that I’ll never forget. I sat down with my mom to talk about her childhood, things I never knew about my bio dad and dad at raised me, the untold stories of being a single mom, and the book my grandmother wrote that the world needs to read. We laughed, I asked questions I probably wasn’t ready for, and she gave advice that every woman—mother or not—needs to hear. This one’s raw, real, and full of love.

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by my best friends for an unfiltered convo that’s equal parts hilarious and painfully relatable.

You’ll hear the messy, the awkward, the “why did I ever say yes to that date?” moments—and the kind of girl talk that feels like a cozy hangout with your crew. 💬 If you’ve ever ignored a walking red flag or laughed through the chaos, this one’s for you.

We thought we were just going to chat about social media drama… but this conversation took a turn we weren’t prepared for.
