Hey guys, welcome to another week of The Mother Load.
This week we had the pleasure of speaking with Juel Tabor, a unique mom of 4 small babies. Juel gave us some insight on being a military wife, and how she has had to get comfortable with change. We also dive into discovering your identity after multiple life changes.
Anyone who had been involved in military life can relate to the stress it puts on a family and Juel is now living through it was a middle-schooler who has big feelings. The struggle is real and this is a new era for the Tabor family.
This is a heart-felt episode with a lot of reflection, we hope this conversation makes you feel less alone and helps you find a place in the complexities of life.
Thank you Juel for being so open with us and sharing your story with our community! <3
Stay fierce friends, and know that you are enough.
XOXO

If you’re from Michigan, this episode will hit you to your core, just like it did for Lauren & I.

You guys…. It’s Amy Zhender Grossi. Not only does she share a first name with Amy, but she also shares a name with her beloved family, The Zhenders, the family so many of you have loved from afar each time you visit Frankenmuth, Michigan.
She is as real as they come. She’s just like us and she’s just like you. A mom, a wife, a friend.
She has to plan dinners, juggle schedules, get up early to work out, and go to work.
Stay fierce friends, and know that you are enough.
XOXO

In this weeks episode Lauren rekindles her friendship with Brandi Alcorn (Bohn) after not seeing each other since 2007!
We all have those friends from high school/middle school/etc. that we just lost touch with and this is your sign to reach back out! Making new friends as an adult if hard, but maybe it is easier when you share a past. Lets all try to "date" our old friends!
Not only was this an exciting re-introduction but Brandi is doing so much! We can't wait for you to hear about the journey she took getting into the career she is in today and how she found the key to career happiness (spoiler alert, it isn't the paycheck). Brandi is also pregnant with her 2nd baby and her son just turned 2. We talked with her about the pressures of being a first time mom and how much you learn from that experience.
Enjoy this episode, it's a fun one!
Disclaimer: we mention a story about a "goose" but it was actually a SWAN!
Stay fierce friends, and know that you are enough.
