43: Challenges of step parenting teenagers & a new baby with host Nicole De Leon
The Soul Mammas Podcast
02/25/19 • 32 min
Not everyone has a "traditional" family. Some of us are stepparents, in a longterm partnership with kids, have big age gaps between children, or have children with disabilities, for instance. More often than not we think we go through challenges alone, but if we share our unique stories we realize there are many mamas out there experiencing something similar to us. I was always really private about sharing my story of becoming a stepmom at 25 of two boys full time, one with a disability, but since I began the podcast I realized how important it is to be transparent with our stories. This is why I am sharing mine today. I believe this will resonate with moms from all walks of life; not just stepmoms.
Topics covered:
- Step parenting teenagers
- Having the "birth mom" not in the picture
- Not getting married until 10 years into my relationship
- Becoming a mom figure at a young age
- Having a baby "later in life"
- The dynamics of a new baby on a family with older children

55: How to feel ENOUGH & stop trying to do EVERYTHING as mamas. With Maria Alcoke of the Engine Mom Podcast.
The Soul Mammas Podcast
05/20/19 • 50 min
Enough-ness. Do you every feel enough as a mom? Do you ever take the time to pat yourself on the back and acknowledge what you've accomplished rather than what you have not? It's so easy to fill up everyone else cup before our own, or feel unworthy if we don't check off all of the "to dos" on our list. But what if we just accepted that we were already doing enough?
I’m super stoked for today’s guest. Why? Because she’s a fellow podcaster mama who candidly speaks about just this. Maria Alcoke is also is a Cross Fit Level 1 trainer who not only inspires with her physical prowess but her ability to shift gears at the drop of a hat.
Maria made the brave move to leave the corporate world to pursue her own business right before the birth of her first child. In fact, her show “The Engine Mom Podcast” is all about the gears we have to shift as busy, ambitious mamas.
Today we speak about:
- Enough-ness and when and where to create boundaries
- Making sacrifices for our dreams
- Why she doesn't feel she fits into the stay at home mom or working mom box & how that is sometimes challenging.

48: How to feed our children healthy foods in a creative, fun, affordable way. With Kristy Richardson of "On My Kids Plate"
The Soul Mammas Podcast
03/29/19 • 49 min
How many of us mamas can attest to having very little time for meal prep, or for wanting to feed our kids wholesome meals, but then we get so busy they end up snacking all day? How can we feed our kids healthy meals in a creative and affordable way? Today’s guest Kristy Richardson of the successful online space for kids meal planning “On my Kids Plate” is here to tell us why a little tweak here and there can help kids get interested in food they were once turning away.
After her daughter went through a huge picky phase she decided she needed to create fun and inventive meals for her. Some examples include; smoothie popsicles and Dr. Suess Skewers (with bananas and strawberries), and green pancakes (with some secret spinach thrown in). "On my Kids Plate" started as a diary for her daughter’s meals and is now a platform that helps kids have fun with food and gets parents involved in the fun!
Kristy’s humor, honesty and accessibility is what drew me to her and why many thousands of others have followed her lead and are dedicated followers of her blog. Today she’s going to share with us:
- Easy Recipies for picky eaters
- Why to get started and be yourself if you have a new or creative idea or business you want to start
- How you can still incorporate "treats" into a healthy diet

The Soul Mammas Podcast
03/17/20 • 52 min
I love the idea behind new mama & entrepreneur Erin Motz's brand Bad Yogi. I have often thought of myself as a bad yogi also or didn't fit into one box.
Today this mama tells us why she wanted to make yoga accessible to everyone + a little more accepting to the world. Erin speaks candidly about the "internal tug of war" of wanting to spend time with your kids & contribute creatively to the world. She also speaks about mom guilt and how we can never win in our own minds and are often really hard on ourselves.
She also speaks honestly about PPD and the fog that has rolled in and out since having her son Theo.

I am holding an IG LIVE this Friday March 20th at lunchtime to talk about creative ideas for moms with social isolation measures in place during these challenging times.
