Episode 7: “The Big Exhale: Summer, Sanity, and Saying It Anyway (Our Season One Finale)”

You know what’s harder than launching a podcast while working and raising kids?
Wrapping up your first season while your kids are home for summer break. 😅

Season One of the PowerMomma Podcast was sometimes messy, unpolished, and exactly what I needed—and maybe what you needed, too. We let go of perfection, hit record anyway, and somehow found gold on the other side of the chaos.

Now, we’re wrapping it up with a big, collective exhale.

Because if we’ve learned anything, it’s this: You don’t need to have your sh*t together to say what needs to be said.

Summer’s here. The world’s on fire (again). The kids are home (always). And somehow, we’re still expected to feed them lunch and remain professionally relevant while pretending we’re fine. Cute.

This finale is your permission slip to take a breath, drop the guilt, and embrace the chaos—because if there’s one thing this season taught us, it’s that there’s gold on the other side of messy, honest conversations.

Inside this episode:

What recording live taught me about letting go of perfection (your “ums” won’t kill you)
.

What we learned this year about boundaries, self-care, and saying “hell yes”.

Why taking a walk with your ride-or-die is exactly what we all need.

If you’re a working mom juggling career, caregiving, and trying to stay connected to yourself without dropping everything on the floor—this one’s for you.

Take a breath, grab your coffee (or your wine), and let’s exhale together.

Episode 6: Menopausal AF: The Midlife Rebrand You Didn’t Ask For (But Totally Deserve)

Hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia—oh my. Welcome to the ultimate hormonal rodeo no one warned you about, and definitely the midlife rebrand you didn’t ask for (but totally deserve).

In this episode of the PowerMomma Podcast, host Sam and Tange take you on a real-talk, walk-and-talk journey through menopause with humor, honesty, and zero shame. We’re busting myths, breaking silences, and redefining midlife as a time of becoming, not disappearing.

✨ You’ll hear:
– Why menopause isn’t a crisis, but a midlife awakening
– The soul behind hot flashes, brain fog, and mood swings
– Holistic ways of thriving—not just surviving
– A real talk moment on puberty and perimenopause under one roof (spoiler: it’s a whole vibe)
– Why you’re allowed to take up space, change, rest, and still become

Menopause doesn’t mean you’re washed up. It means you’re evolving, and you don’t have to do it alone. Grab your ice water and your sense of humor, and let’s rewrite this narrative together—one hot flash, one laugh, and one brave conversation at a time.

✨ If this episode resonates, share it with a friend, leave a review, and let’s keep supporting each other through every messy, magical season.

In this episode of the PowerMomma Podcast, we're taking it to the hill—literally and emotionally. Sam and Tangie are talking about the ride or die friends—the women who are always there for us.. who drop everything, answer the phone, pull over the car, and remind you of your power when life throws a punch.. real friends that are with you no matter what.

From messy tears to tough love, we're celebrating the sisterhood that holds us up when we’re too tired to stand. Sam shares a deeply personal story about a school setback for her twins—and how her inner circle showed up with open hearts, wisdom, and warrior woman energy.

Because sometimes it does take a village to raise a child—but it takes a sisterhood to raise a PowerMomma.
