This episode is very near and dear to my heart. We are kicking off season 5 with my sister and I talking about our mommy challenges and what was the breaking straw that had us running to the couch of a therapist. We speak candid and open because we know there are many listeners that will be able to relate. 

The mommy hour podcast made it to one year with the support of our wonferdul guest and our supportive Mommy Hour family! Corene chats about how the idea of the pocast came about and overall inspiration!

Our youngest son Parker overcame some nearly fatal health challenges at 5 months old. Pneumonia and the Respiratory Syncytial Virus, also known as RVS, left him in a medically induced coma for ten days. Johnson and I share the details of the moment that brought our family closer by testing our faith and resilience.

Shane and I discuss how she continues to beat the odds by overcoming the daily challenges that come with battling with sickle cell anemia. Before her initial ultrasound with her unborn son, the doctor suggested that she terminate the pregnancy. Her story is remarkable.

Shaz and I have always shared a common ground with both of us being Midwest girls. Her being raised in Chicago, and me being raised in Cleveland has many parallels when referring to race and colorism. We share our fears about raising black children and why the brown paper bag is still a thing in 2019. This episode was recorded in response to the Jussie Smollett incident. Although our opinions about the case have changed since his arrest, our feelings about raising brown children in America remain the same.

Kalia and Greg are unapologetically giving love and marriage a second try. These two share gems on how their past has made it easy to love and accept each other. Kalia, in full transparency, reveals how she felt when she became a bonus mom to Greg’s three daughters. Greg elaborates on the importance of open communication with his wife and the mother of his children.

I met Christina on a day when both of us could have benefitted from a glass of wine and spa day. While our children were embarking on a new friendship at Storytime, Christina and I were connecting on how isolating motherhood can really be. No words could ever express how much we needed each other on our inaugural mommy encounter at DC staple, Busboys and Poets.

Madison is one of the newest members of the #MomTribe. Her beautiful baby girl Sloane has already challenged her to make #MommyMoves and consider a different perspective on life.

Brittany has always been very clear about her reality of not wanting children. I value her perspective because her stance has never been determined by her relationship status or the opinion of her significant other. She loves children but also loves the idea of being called Auntie Britt instead of Mommy.

She provides supports through life transitions by combining the power of their mind and wardrobe to actualize the outcomes they seek out of life.
