| 1/15/26 | 302 | The Conclusion of Mom, You're Amazing! And Other Things I Want to Tell You | Today I’m sharing a metaphor for this crazy ride called motherhood and a few "other things I want to tell you." If you’ve been listening from the start, thanks for sticking with it—and I’d appreciate it if you could leave a quick review on Amazon or Goodreads to let other moms know what you loved about the book. This is The Conclusion of Mom, You’re Amazing! And Other Things I Want to Tell You. Listen in. To purchase a copy of the book and read along, click the link below.

| 1/8/26 | 301 | What I Learned Last Year (Vol 3): Ch 48 of Mom, You're Amazing! And Other Things I Want to Tell You | It never ceases to amaze me what the Lord teaches me in a year. In January 2019, I wrote out the list I’m reading today–which includes several things that changed my life forever (Abide! Podcasting! Plant-based eating!). This is Chapter 48: The final round-up of What I Learned Last Year.

| 1/1/26 | 300 | When Being a Mom is Just. Plain. Hard: Ch 47 of Mom, You're Amazing! And Other Things I Want to Tell You | I never want to be the older mom who discourages the younger mom, but neither do I want to be the mom who paints such an unrealistic picture of family life, that no one can relate to me. If you're a mom who is going through a hard season of parenting teens, you are not alone. Today I lay out the truth about parenting teens–the bad and the beautiful. Also, Happy New Year, and thank you for being here. While the Balanced MomCast is on hiatus, you can find me at Behind the Balance on... | 9m 38s | ||||||

It’s time for another edition of “What I Learned Last Year.” Circa 2016. This list is especially fun because I give my first hint that I will start a podcast and mention writing a Bible study on balance which later became my first book! This list covers everything from goal-setting and TV binges to monitoring teens on the internet and caffeine intake. This is Chapter 46: What I Learned Last Year, Vol 2, Listen in.

If you know a tired mom, I’m sharing two simple ways you can help her feel alive again. This is Chapter 45: Be a Life-Giver to a Tired Mom. Listen in.

| 12/11/25 | 297 | For the Mom on the Verge of a Meltdown: Ch 44 of Mom, You're Amazing! And Other Things I Want to Tell You | If I could retitle this essay, I’d name it: "For the Mom Who Idolizes Productivity." Or maybe, "For the Mom Who Keeps Raising the Bar." Because while it’s true this is an essay about a time I sent my kids back-to-school and had a meltdown, the bigger truth is that it’s a time I gave myself a pep talk about silencing my evil inner critic. This is Chapter 44: For the Mom on the Verge of a Back-to-School Meltdown. Listen in. While the Balanced MomCast is on hiatus, you can find me at Beh... | 15m 44s | ||||||
| 12/4/25 | 296 | Dear Mom of the Mouthy Teen, An Open Letter: Ch 43 of Mom, You're Amazing! And Other Things I Want to Tell You | I wrote this essay after talking with a friend who was at a doctor’s office and witnessed a teen openly disrespecting his mom. My friend was outraged that the mom said nothing in response and was expecting my approval. Instead, I sided with that mom. This is Chapter 43: Dear Mom of the Mouthy Teen: an Open Letter. Listen in.

| 11/13/25 | 293 | My Vow to Stop Apologizing: Ch 40 of Mom, You're Amazing! And Other Things I Want to Tell You | Some people struggle to offer apologies. But I have the opposite problem: I apologize too often. That isn’t a humble brag, like, “I don’t know why, but I’m just soooo generous. I just loooooove giving away my money and my time to people." No. Apologizing too often for the wrong things is messed up. In this essay, I explain why. Listen in.

| 11/6/25 | 292 | When All You Have is a Gut Feeling: CH 39 of Mom, You're Amazing! And Other Things I Want to Tell You | Making decisions as a parent can be tricky. Often, we lack all the facts–either because our child is withholding them or because the child doesn’t have them either. Thankfully, God has all the facts, and He gives us His Holy Spirit to guide and direct us—in the form of a gut feeling. That’s what I’m talking about today. Listen in.

And Other Things I Want to Tell You | I grew up in the 70s and 80s where I never learned about sexual purity. Then, I started parenting in the late 90s on the tail end of the Purity Movement. Neither of those approaches worked well for me as a mom. Today I share what did.

What you may NOT know is that this complication began almost immediately after I joined back in 2008. And I’ve been writing about social media and its effect on me since that time.

This was written at the end of 2013--a doozy of a year (yes, I just used the word "doozy"), when I learned so much about everything. This is Chapter 34: What I Learned Last Year, Vol 1. Listen in.
