What if the biggest threat to your relationship isn’t conflict—but silence? In this Valentine’s Day–themed episode of the Mama Work It Podcast, we’re joined by Colette Jane Fehr, licensed psychotherapist, nationally recognized relationship expert, and author of the newly released book The Cost of Quiet: How to Have the Hard Conversations That Create Secure, Lasting Love.

If you’ve ever thought, “It’s easier not to say anything,” this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Mama Work It Podcast, we sit down with Christine Fitzgerald, a former competitive gymnast turned nutrition and hormone healing expert, whose own health crisis at just 20 years old changed the course of her life. Thrown into clinical menopause while training at an elite level, Christine experienced extreme fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and weight changes that no amount of exercise or clean eating could fix.

Do you suffer from Comparisonitis? In this powerful episode of the Mama Work It podcast, we dive into one of the sneakiest sources of stress and self-doubt for moms: comparison. From social media highlight reels to milestone pressure, it’s easy to feel like you’re “behind” or “not enough.” But Mama — your journey is allowed to look different. In today’s conversation, we unpack: Why comparison is such a natural part of motherhood How social media amplifies insecurity (and how to take back control) What it means to honor the season you’re in Mindset and practical tools to shift out of comparison mode How your relationship with comparison impacts your kids A grounding, guided reframe to help you reconnect to your own path This episode is your reminder that growth has no timeline — and you can release the pressure to compete with anyone else’s life but your own. Key Takeaways: Comparison isn’t a character flaw — it’s a habit you can break. Curate your inputs: protect your mental health on social media. Honor your season — you are not meant to grow at the same pace as everyone else. Use tools like:  “That’s for her, this is for me.”  Shifting from comparison to curiosity.  Celebrating small victories daily. Your kids learn confidence from watching you break comparison cycles.

We don’t often get to hear the father’s perspective on the Mama Work It Podcast—and today, we’re changing that. I’m joined by Chris Rodack, founder of Rising Father, creator of the Men of Fire transformation program, and host of The Rising Father Podcast. Chris is a husband, dad of two, and former music teacher who completely transformed his life—shedding over 60 pounds, building a multi–six-figure online business, and reclaiming his health, vitality, and leadership as a man and father.

In this episode, Chris and I talk about: His personal journey into marriage and fatherhood, and the turning point that changed everything. The painful moment when he realized he was falling short as a man and father—and how that led to a complete transformation. The #1 limiting belief that keeps so many men stuck in cycles of complacency (and how to break free). How to reframe “sacrifice” in fatherhood so it builds legacy and leadership instead of resentment and burnout. Practical ways moms can support their partners in living their best lives. This conversation is raw, honest, and full of wisdom—not just for dads, but for moms who want to better understand and support the men in their lives.

We’re back for Season 6 of the Mama Work It Podcast! After a much-needed break (and a big international trip—my first since becoming a mom!), I’m diving into a topic that has been front and center for me lately: identity shifts in motherhood. Motherhood changes us in so many ways, and while some of those shifts feel natural, others can leave us feeling like we’ve lost touch with parts of ourselves we used to love. In this episode, I’m getting real about the identities I’ve reconnected with, the ones I’ve had to let go of, and the ways I’m intentionally stepping into new ones. What you’ll hear in this episode: How Blindspotting coaching and identity awareness helped me reflect on the layers of who we are. The part of me I rediscovered while traveling abroad this summer—and why it felt like reuniting with an old friend. Why I chose FUN as my 2025 word of the year and how I’m prioritizing joy alongside responsibility. How slowing down has surprisingly helped me move forward faster. Past identity shifts—from corporate leader to entrepreneur—and how I learned to own my new role even when it felt uncomfortable. Encouragement for any mama navigating identity changes in work, motherhood, or life.

When you hear the word “Mom”, I imagine the word “vulnerable” doesn’t come to mind. No way! You’re glancing from left to right and fishing through your purse for sunscreen or water or a granola bar. There it is—half eaten, but still good.  As a mom, being vulnerable can feel like something we are very uncomfortable with. Plus, who has time for that?  And yet, vulnerability is what connects us the most. Vulnerability can form long lasting friendships. Vulnerability can be the key we need to get into a happier and less lonely mental space. Vulnerability, as taboo as it is, is the secret sauce for moms to thrive, not just survive the season of motherhood. Because doing the impossible shouldn’t be something we do masked in silence.  As a writer being the core of what I love to do, I wrote a vulnerable story I’m sharing with you this week on the podcast (and the blog). Whether you relate to the content of the story or not, I hope you feel empowered to share your vulnerability with the world too, because chances are it will connect you more than you ever imagined.

Ever look at your house and feel like it’s kind of a hot mess? I’m not talking about the kids’ stuff everywhere—although that might be part of it.  I mean the style, the décor, the cool factor.  Do you even know what’s cool anymore?  A lot of moms tend to forget about their home space because they’re so busy and exhausted parenting and working and doing life in the motherhood stage they’re in.  This week, I’m chatting with Laura Steele all about holistic home styling.  Laura is the founder of the Well Dwelling, where she uses classic interior design principles paired with Feng Shui, humanistic psychology and even astrology when creating designs.  Here's what you’ll get out of this episode:  How holistic home design connects with your astrological sign and personality to give you a beautiful space while also making you feel balanced How to find great deals on fabulous furniture so you don’t freak out if your kids potentially ruin it (because you didn’t spend a lot!) How your home design reflects the stage in motherhood you’re in …which can and likely will change as your kids (and you) grow Here's where you can find Laura after the show: www.thewelldwelling.comInstagramFacebookDon't forget to subscribe and leave a review if you loved this episode! For more resources on juggling mom life, work life, wife life, fill in the blank life, head on over to www.mamaworkit.com and subscribe.
