Call Us Mommy

Ariel Myers + Tianna Storm

Call Us Mommy is a podcast for moms in the trenches of motherhood, new moms feeling a bit shellshocked, or seasoned moms looking for ways to support the younger mamas in their life. We’re here to create a community for all women, wherever they are in their motherhood journey.Aside from Mommy, you can also call us Ariel and Tianna. We’re two best friends who also happen to be business partners and using this podcast to shine a light on the joyful chaos of motherhood while reminding ourselves (and you) that we can do this. Between the two of us, since we began recording our conversations in 2021, we’ve been in all of the seasons at once, recovering from postpartum, learning to parent pre-teens, chasing toddlers, growing babies, and even nursing them. All while working from home in the midst of the messes.Ariel is a mom of 4, online business manager and coach, married to her high-school sweetheart, and living in a small town in Indiana. Tianna is a former dental assistant turned career assistant and coach, a former single mom of 3, now a mom of 4 and 1 bonus daughter, living in a slightly bigger town in Indiana, all after escaping an abusive marriage in 2020. We met in 2015 at a church workout, both in the midst of postpartum with baby number 2 and with no idea of what our friendship would bring 5 years later. Our friendship evolved into life wives in 2020 when we merged our lives even more by starting Laptop + Littles, where we began showing other women how we work from home. We began working and doing life together almost daily until Tianna moved in with Ariel in 2022 after buying and flipping her house while she waited for her new build. Tianna met her now husband shortly after and the rest can be caught up on in our podcast episode “Tianna and Austin’s Story”. Now that we live in different towns, we miss each other every day but spend lots of time coworking on the phone or making the drive to co-work throughout the week. Call Us Mommy has been a perfect excuse to make that happen more than it might without having such an awesome community to show up for.Our goal for the Call Us Mommy community is to create a virtual village for all moms, all women, and all stories to feel supported in their journey. If you want to be apart, come hang, give us grace as we sometimes stumble through our words, or share our hardest moments and celebrate the wins with us! We’re so happy you’re here.

Join us for the next two episodes as we share our testimonies on God's faithfulness in our lives and some of the things that have shaped us into who we are now.
We believe that you can't be the person you are right now without reflecting on the person you were before. We can't erase the cringy parts of our lives without taking away from our stories.
Listen in today to hear Tianna's story and how she has fought her way to break generational curses and out of a life of abuse to find redemption in her relationship with God.

Some of the things that are hard about motherhood, we simply can't change. The newborn no sleep season, the exhausted new mom season, the getting used to your body again season, surging hormones season, toddlerhood, fighting siblings, potty training, regulating emotions... there are so many things that we just have to go through as moms.
But there are some hard things we can change, or at least make easier, when we make changes to take control of our motherhood. We've done this by choosing to find ways to work from home, which has allowed us to take back control of a lot of things in our motherhood, like spending intentional time with our kids, having money for date nights, having control over your family's routine, working with people you enjoy, making extra money, etc.
In today's podcast episode, we sit down with fellow mama (of 2!) Kayla Hoffmeier, who we met back in 2020 before she started her Virtual Assistant career. She's recently welcomed her son, the newest additional to her family, and shares how life has been since she made the change in her career 3 years ago. Join us for our conversation with Kayla if you're looking for some encouragement in your motherhood or need some motivation to take steps to even just start making goals to get you where you want to be!

Join Ariel + Tianna as we sit down with Kristi to talk about what working from home looks like for her, how the Virtual Assistant world got her there and her journey along the way. Kristi came from a comfy corporate job and decided during her pregnancy that she needed a change. She stumbled on Laptop + Littles and the lightbulb went off. She knew the Virtual Assistant role would take her where she wanted to go and she was determined to get there before having to return from maternity leave.
Kristi shares what those initial months looked like fresh in the Virtual Assistant role, taking on her first clients, cutting back on clients when her season of life demanded it, the imposter syndrome that can creep in...and how to navigate it all.
We love Kristi's story and seeing her thrive in her career now that she has taken control of it. Something we believe any mom can do with the right support.
