Moms Have More Fun

Ruthie Silver

Welcome to the Moms Have More Fun podcast, the spot for moms who want to break free of the hot mess mom identity for a better way. I’m Ruthie Silver, military wife, mom bursting with love for her two young boys, health and fitness expert, and online marketer. It’s my mission to help you stop settling for survival mode, find more joy and lightness in motherhood, and to step in the most vibrant version of you. It’s time to disrupt the constant depiction of moms as burnt out, frumpy, and totally selfless to the point of neglecting their own basic needs. Let’s be honest - we all have those hot mess mom days, you know, the ones where you’re existing on coffee until it’s time to mix a margarita - but it’s gone way overboard and become a real problem. This show changes all that and empowers you to be a happy, healthy, and fulfilled mama - while holding space for those raw moments. Each week, I will share a mix of sit down sessions with real moms like you and me to get a sneak peek into their motherhood experience and solo episodes that elevate your mindset, health, and fitness so you can thrive. It’s not about being perfect or put together - it’s about being a priority. We’ll have tons of fun, we’ll dig deep, and we’ll prove that you don’t have to be disheveled in order to be devoted to your family. It’s time to find balance. It’s time to feel confident. It’s time to radiate joy. It's time to show the world that mom life is the best life. You ready? Let’s bring this motherhood movement to the mic.

Moms Have More Fun

01/23/23 • 42 min

Join me for special Mommy on the Mic episodes, where I sit down with real moms for the inside scoop on their mom life and motherhood journey.
These intimate conversations are funny, raw, and no topic is TMI.
Maybe you'll learn a new tip or see things in a different light. Maybe your own experience will be validated. Either way, you'll love hearing from other moms just like you and me.
Mommies, meet Taylor!
Taylor is my work bestie and gosh do I adore her. She's that hype girl that makes you feel unstoppable and fabulous with every Slack message. We've gotten really close over our time working together and I cherish our friendship. I know you will adore her to, and appreciate the insight she has, especially as a first-time mama!
Taylor is a 25 (almost 26) year old first time momma to her little buddy Judah Bear. She works full time in marketing and leads a church youth group with her husband, all while holding their cute little house down. She’s a low-key (but actually high-key) fancy girl who loves fake eyelashes, a good skincare routine, hot coffee in her Ember mug, and watching Shark Tank every night.
Follow along for Taylor's sweet and spunky day-to-day musings here!
Interested in being featured and doing a recording session with yours truly? DM me MOMMY ON THE MIC to my Instagram handle below! Let's shine a light on your story! <3

Thanks for listening, mama.

Moms Have More Fun

04/04/23 • 41 min

I just loved this conversation, and I know you will, too.
On this Mommy on the Mic segment of the Talk Mommy To Me Podcast, we have Elissa, a full-time working mom of two young children.
Elissa and I align when it comes to many aspects of parenting, and I really appreciated how she flows through her day by creating structure where it's needed and making room for adventures, too.
She emphasizes the importance of being intentional in everything she does, from how she spends her free time to how she interacts with her children, husband, and coworkers.
Elissa is a procurement manager for a biotechnology company, while her husband, who was a chef for his entire career, stays at home with their kids.
In this episode, Elissa shares her unique perspective on motherhood and how she manages her daily routine.

We also cover:

The importance of having your own parenting style and the self-reflective process of figuring out what works best for you and your children
Setting clear rules and boundaries for children and following through with them
How to determine whether a rule is worth enforcing, and how to communicate with one's partner to present a united front
The importance of tuning into your likes and preferences to create a home life you truly enjoy
Being present at home after a long workday - keywords: boundaries and expectations!

She talks about the small moments of joy she finds in her everyday life and how she takes care of herself, too! Spoiler alert: she's also training for a veryyyy long endurance race!
If you want to hear from a mom who has a lot on her plate, but doesn't let the demands of life get the best of her, this is for you.

So, let's dive in and learn how to approach motherhood in a grounded yet adventurous way that creates a united and fulfilling family dynamic!

Happy Valentine's Day...or should I say GALentine's Day?
This episode is full of love, because I have my brilliant friend and coworker, Kelly, on the mic.
To know Kelly is to love Kelly. If you're a client of ours, you already adore her (even when she's kicking your butt in a workout!) Kelly has one of the best smiles I've ever encountered, and carries her kind spirit wherever she goes.
But that's not to say she hasn't faced struggles.
In this episode, Kelly opens up about her experience with secondary infertility and what it's been like navigating motherhood without her own mom, as she passed away when she was in high school.
This is a heartwarming, touching conversation and I cannot wait for you to get to know Kelly!
Connect with Kelly on Instagram here. She shares tons of great fitness, nutrition, and motherhood content and is an all around gem to follow.
