This podcast is for moms navigating the real, raw, and redeeming parts of motherhood-and we’re so glad you’re here.

You’ve heard the phrase “holding space”… but what does it actually look like in the chaos of motherhood, midlife, and messy emotions?

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the powerful, misunderstood, and often uncomfortable practice of holding space—for our kids, our friends, and ourselves. Holding space means showing up with presence, not pressure. It’s sitting in the discomfort without trying to fix it. But in a culture that pushes us to hurry up, hold it together, and move on... it’s no wonder we struggle.

Together, we unpack what it means to hold space imperfectly but intentionally—how empathy, stillness, and presence can be more healing than solutions. We also talk about why it's so much easier to do this for others than for ourselves, and how to begin shifting that.

If you're in a season where emotions are high, time is short, and you're carrying more than your share—this conversation is for you.

This one’s tender. Truth-filled. And might just give you the breath you didn’t know you needed.

Friendship wasn’t supposed to be this complicated.

But somewhere between school drop-offs, emotional overload, and trying to keep up with everyone's needs… it’s easy for friendships to fall to the bottom of your never-ending to-do list.

In this heart-opening episode of Motherhood and the Messy Middle, we dive into the real talk about why making—and keeping—friendships as moms in midlife can feel so hard.

Nicole and Robin open up about their own friendship journeys-what’s worked, what’s hurt, and why they believe we still need each other, even when life gets messy and full.

Whether you’re feeling lonely, in a friendship dry spell, or just need reassurance that you're not the only one navigating this season-this one’s for you.

💛 You’re not too much.
💛 You’re not too late.
💛 And you’re not the only one.

If this episode speaks to you, send it to a friend you love (or want to reconnect with).
And if this podcast has helped you feel less alone, we’d be so grateful for a quick review—it helps more moms find our village.
