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.

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.

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!

Welcome to Episode 20, with the one, the beautiful, the kindest mama bear, wife, friend, advocate, nurse and… bulldog, Crystal Miller.
Crystal’s journey is admirable and inspiring - not just to working moms, but all moms. She followed her heart into her career and never took the easy road. She teaches us to listen to our gut and trust our intuition. Thank you for being such a wonderful person we should all aspire to be more like!
Oh, and she recorded this episode straight from work, or the football field, I can’t recall - but she made time and we are all so much better because of it!
Stay fierce friends, and know that you are enough.

Ah, the joys of back to school.

I mean, new school year new me, right!?

Join us as we kick off the school year with an episode all about the feels, the schedule, the routine, and everything public and private school related.

Amy opens up about her struggle to find her ideal workout time - and I think by the end of it, we land on some solid advice that can help anyone looking to carve out some workout time!

Enjoy your back to school season everyone!

Stay fierce friends, and know that you are enough.

Laura VH is a FORCE! ⚡️
This is a no judgement, no BS, no time for nonsense kind of working mom. She is a boss lady, wife, mom of 3 children, friend and crockpot queen - to name a few of her titles. Oh, and she has a Disc Golf Course in her backyard.
She has a beautiful story of how she became to be the Laura VH the world knows and some heartfelt wisdom we are better off for hearing, especially those of us with teens.
Enjoy this week’s episode. We’re so grateful for your listening ears!
Stay fierce friends, and know that you are enough.

You’re going to love this episode! Our favorite part of this entire interview was the beautiful realization that Carrie has became the village for others, that she never had herself. How beautiful and sweet is that!!!
Carrie is a selfless, loving mother, always pivoting and doing what’s best for her two kiddos, while taking care of herself along the way.
You’re going to be enlightened no matter the age of your kiddos or your spot in your career. Give her a listen 😍
Stay fierce friends, and know that you are enough.

That's like, over 500 hours of recorded minutes of our voices out there in the universe. Pretty wild actually. Let's keep this mother ship moving!!

We hope you get to laugh or cry or pee your pants or something alongside this weeks light hearted episode of Amy and Lauren.
Stay fierce friends, and know that you are enough.
