The MomForce Podcast Hosted by Chatbooks

Handling finances as a married couple can be hard! It’s important to remember that not seeing eye-to-eye on things is the norm, not the exception. There’s a reason companies don’t employ two CFOs and countries don’t elect two presidents. If it doesn’t work there, what makes you think it will work at home? Divide and conquer for the betterment of the team! 

Vanessa is joined by the founder of Budget Bootcamp, Jordan Page, to discuss smart ways to get and stay on track. Much like going on a diet or beginning a fitness regimen, the first week is hard! Make fun goals. Whether you’re saving out of necessity or principle, it’s never easy. You have to find your personal motivation!

Since Hannah Neeleman of Ballerina Farm was on the podcast in May of 2023 a lot has changed! She is expecting her eighth child very soon and has grown her follower count from 2 million to more than 8 million.

She not only competed in the Mrs. America pageant, but she won! An amazing clip of her talking on stage about the empowering beauty of childbirth went viral. And as of today, she is just weeks away from delivering her 8th child! And she competes in Mrs World in January. I don't know how she does it! But more than 8 million people get to follow along on Instagram and TikTok as she shares her idyllic life at Ballerina Farm, catching glimpses of her daily life on the farm milking the cows, making gorgeous sourdough bread, and cooking with her kids.

Hannah was so lovely and generous when we recorded this episode – sharing her journey from Julliard and the big city to farming in the small town of Kamas, Utah. She truly is one of the nicest people I know–and one of the most patient. You're just going to love hearing from her and what is next for Ballerina Farm!

If you just discovered our podcast, you might be asking yourself, “Who are these people, and why another mom podcast?” Well, let us tell you!

In this episode, we introduce Vanessa Quigley, entrepreneur and mom of 7 kids ranging from ages 24-11 (plus a new daughter-in-law!). Along with her sisters (and co-hosts), they have 30 kids... YES! 30! That’s a lot of mommin’!

Together with her husband, Nate, Vanessa runs Chatbooks. In the early days of their business, Nate and Vanessa would work late into the night personally responding to customer emails. As the company grew, so did the need for helping hands. They hired remote, part-time employees to jump in and help with the workload, all of whom just happened to be moms! And with this, the MomForce was born!

A group was created, and friends and family were invited to join. What started as a team of women using Facebook as a valuable parenting tool became a growing community where moms could find advice on everything from getting their kids to sleep in their own beds to sneaking veggies into the dinner menu. Today, The MomForce Facebook Group is a sisterhood of over 8,000 women sharing their best parenting hacks.

There was just too much good stuff to keep trapped on Facebook. So, with the goal of strengthening families, we introduce to you the MomForce Podcast! Quickie 15-minute episodes that cover all the crazy ins and outs of mom life and get you on your way!

Tamron Hall is a two-time Emmy Award-winning TV host, executive producer of her own syndicated talk show Tamron Hall, veteran journalist, and bestselling author. She’s spent decades honing her interviewing skills—from breaking news to deep, heartfelt conversations on the Today show. And today, we’re diving into something that is the driving force of everything she does– curiosity.

Curiosity has shaped her ability to connect deeply with people and has influenced the way she approaches motherhood. It’s also the inspiration behind her latest book, Harlem Honey: The Adventures of a Curious Kid, a beautiful celebration of wonder, exploration, and the power of asking questions.

In this conversation, we’ll explore why curiosity is more than just a skill—it’s a superpower. One that opens doors, deepens relationships, and sparks lifelong learning. We’ll talk about how curiosity has shaped Tamron’s journey, how we can cultivate it in ourselves and our kids, and why asking the right questions can change everything.
