Ever feel like everyone else is energized, resetting routines, and getting things done… while you’re just trying to keep up? 🌿When your motivation doesn’t match the season, it’s easy to feel behind — especially when social media is full of productivity, fresh starts, and “new season, new me” energy.In this episode, we’re talking about the reality of those slower seasons and why it’s okay when your motivation doesn’t magically show up just because the calendar changed.

Because while the fighting can be frustrating, it doesn’t mean your kids aren’t close… and it definitely doesn’t mean you’re failing as a parent.We break down what’s normal, what’s not, and how to respond in a way that helps your kids build conflict skills instead of just shutting the argument down.

Spend Without Shame: The Art of Spending MoneyEver notice how you can spend money all week… and still not feel satisfied?In this episode, we’re diving into the psychology of spending and why so many of us fall into mindless purchases, comparison traps, and the pressure to keep up. Inspired by The Art of Spending Money, we’re talking about how to shift from reactive, emotional spending to intentional spending that actually aligns with your values.Because it’s not about spending less just to spend less—it’s about spending better.We unpack why we buy things we don’t even care about, how social media fuels comparison and lifestyle pressure, and why intentional spending can actually increase happiness and decrease money stress. We also talk about family life and how being present matters more than booking the biggest vacation or buying the trendiest things. The best memories aren’t always the most expensive ones.In this episode, we cover:The psychology behind emotional and impulse spendingHow comparison influences our money habitsSpending intentionally on what truly brings joyLetting go of keeping up with unrealistic standardsWhy presence > presents when it comes to family memoriesCreating meaningful experiences without overspendingIf you’ve ever felt guilty after a purchase—or confused about why spending doesn’t bring the happiness you thought it would—this conversation will help you rethink your relationship with money.If this episode made you reflect on your spending habits, share it with a friend who loves personal growth conversations.

Ever notice how missing a few days can turn into quitting altogether?That all-or-nothing voice creeps in fast: “Well, I already messed up… might as well stop.”In this episode, we’re talking about why restarting your goals matters more than staying perfect—and how the all-or-nothing mindset is keeping so many of us stuck. Whether it’s fitness, faith, routines, personal growth, or motherhood goals, falling off doesn’t mean you failed. It means you’re human.We unpack how perfectionism and burnout feed the cycle of quitting, and why you’re allowed to restart a goal anytime you want—without shame. We also dive into seasons of life and how sometimes growth doesn’t look like pushing harder… it looks like pivoting. Letting go of a goal that no longer serves you isn’t failure—it’s wisdom.In this episode, we cover:The danger of all-or-nothing thinkingWhy consistency isn’t the same as perfectionHow to restart a goal without the guilt spiralRecognizing when a season has shiftedGiving yourself permission to pivot or release a goalChoosing one small, manageable step to begin againIf you’ve been waiting for the “perfect Monday” to start over, this is your reminder: you don’t need a new month, a new planner, or a new personality.

When was the last time your marriage felt fun—not just functional?In this episode, we’re talking about how to bring playfulness, laughter, and connection back into your marriage, especially in seasons where life feels heavy, busy, or all about survival. Because marriage isn’t meant to be another to-do list—and fun isn’t something you grow out of once kids, careers, and responsibilities pile on.We dive into why fun often disappears first, how stress and mental load impact connection, and simple, realistic ways to reconnect without forcing “date night perfection.” From small playful habits to mindset shifts that invite joy back into everyday moments, this episode is a reminder that intimacy grows when fun is allowed back in.In this episode, we cover:Why fun fades in marriage (and why it matters)How playfulness strengthens emotional and physical connectionSimple ways to laugh and flirt again in everyday lifeReleasing pressure and perfection in your relationshipRebuilding connection during busy or disconnected seasonsIf your marriage feels more like co-managing life than enjoying it together, this conversation will help you find your way back to joy—one small moment at a time.If this episode made you smile or sparked an idea, share it with your spouse or send it to a friend who could use more fun in their marriage.

What if being chosen by God doesn’t mean having it all together?In this episode, we’re diving into the life of Mary—the ordinary young woman God chose for an extraordinary calling—and what her story teaches us about faith, surrender, and trusting God when the plan doesn’t make sense.Mary wasn’t chosen because she was perfect.

In today’s episode, we dive into the comparison trap moms fall into—and how it quietly steals our joy, confidence, and sense of accomplishment. From social media pressure to milestone anxiety to the belief that every other mom has it more “together,” comparison can make us question our worth without even realizing it.We break down why comparison feels so heavy, how it shows up in everyday motherhood, and the truth that each of us has unique gifts and strengths designed specifically for our children. You don’t need to be the “perfect mom.” You just need to be you—the mom your kids were given on purpose.If you’ve ever felt behind, not enough, or like someone else is doing motherhood “better,” this episode will feel like a deep breath and a reset.✨ In this episode we talk about:Why comparison is the biggest joy thief for momsThe most common areas moms compare themselvesHow social media creates unrealistic expectationsWhy your gifts matter more than someone else’s strengthsPractical steps to break the comparison cycleHow to reclaim confidence in your motherhood journeyIf this episode encourages you, share it with a mom friend who needs this reminder too.

Hi lil mama!! In today's episode we have a little twist, with Mikaela on maternity leave, this episode's hosts are Kirsten + Cody Smith.

We touch on our love story, and how we met, fell in love, and got married!

We talk about things that have worked for us that you could start implementing today, and could help you love on and reconnect with your significant other.What are ways you and your spouse/partner find ways to connect with each other?

Hi friends! In today’s episode we share our thoughts on the #1 New York Times Bestseller, The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins. When we read/listened to this book, we knew we HAD to share it with y'all, because it was life changing. This book was a 5 star book, and truly believe EVERYONE should get their hands on a copy of this book. The powerful, yet simple statement of " Let them" and learning how to apply it has been helping people world wide. We go over different sections of the book that stood out to us the most, like how adults kinda have the emotional maturity of an 8 year old, and WHY. We also touch base on how we can't change ANYONE, but Mel gives real life tools to help approach your a family member or friend to help motivate them to see the disconnect on where they're at, and where they want to be (but letting them realzie what they actually want), why friendships fall apart/grow apart, and how to make friends as an adult, and so much more!!The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins: https://amzn.to/3FjGZ9iFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelilmamathatcould/?next=%2F&hl=enJoin The Lil Mama That Could Community group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/thelilmamathatcouldcommunityPersonal Accounts:Kirsten:www.instagram.com/owowitskirstensmithMikaela:www.instagram.com/mikaelajoysmithWebsite:www.thelilmamathatcould.com
