Melanated Mom

Meet Simone, a Texas mom of two and former accounting professional turned digital creative. Her children are 9 years and 5 months apart in age. Although they share a close relationship, raising them has been very different. Join Simone and I as she walks us through the story of dyslexia with her son and how she made sure he had the tools he needed to be successful. There is a lesson for every mom in her story!

Find Simone on Instagram, https://www.instagram.com/simonedoeslife where she shares her life though a hilariously unique style of storytelling complete with cooking and lots of country grammar.

When she is not “doing life”, she's “doing content” at https://www.instagram.com/simonedoescontent where she share tools and strategies to help you bring your creative vision to life.

Simone's goal is connect and collaborate with women in creative ways that will enrich their lives and help our communities.

I love creatives! Doesn’t mean that all of my kids will be creatives but if I see anything I can help them develop I jump on the chance to do so. In today’s episode I talk with my cousin about how to raise creatives when you have multiple children. She had some helpful tips for keeping the kids in the game while staying in the game yourself. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/melanatedmom/support

We are still here mamas. Still in the house and still figuring out daily how to manage this pandemic. As I have already talked about in a previous conversation with my friend and fellow podcaster, Shilene Aaron, we are declaring a thriving season and not merely here to survive. Today, we are having a little girl chat about how we are managing and staying Joy Filled. We talk about everything from how to love on our husbands in this season to how to continue to see the value in self-care. Come join us for a funny and light chat that will keep you in the mindset of thriving through this. Follow Shilene at www.instagram.com/themamamogul for tons of inspiration and great content! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/melanatedmom/support

If you moms aren't stir crazy yet then come help us out!!! It is day whatever of this shelter in place and a few of my girls and I needed to catch up on how we are surviving it all. Laughter is truly keeping me during this time. Grab a little drink and pull up for a whole bunch of talk about nothing. If you haven't spent some good time chatting with a girlfriend or doing something you really enjoy, please take some time to do that. I promise you it will have you coming back feeling like you can take on the world again. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/melanatedmom/support

When the rubber meets the road in our motherhood journey, we may be left standing in places that will make us question everything. What will you do in those moments? How will you continue to show up when the life you thought you would have doesn't pan out?
Join Nashira Williams and I as she tells her story to get to the other side of happy. My hope is that during this series I can normalize the way we walk out our own journeys. Your journey may not look like mine, but stay the path!
