Episode 64: Breath Prayers for Moms- Kayla Craig on Calming Big Emotions
Author Kayla Craig (Our Daily Breath Devotional) shares how a hospital ICU led her to breath prayer. It's a simple pause you can do mid-chaos, with no perfect words needed. Perfect for the mama who can't add one more thing.
Key Takeaways:
A breath prayer is just 2-4 words: one on the inhale, one on the exhale. (Yes, "Jesus, take the wheel" counts.)
Slowing your breath calms your nervous system, so you can pause before you react.
Feeling angry or triggered? Ask yourself: "Is this helpful? Is this hopeful?"
Try this script:
Inhale: "You are with me."
Exhale: "In every breath."

Episode 63: Mom Burnout: Warning Signs and What Actually Helps- a Convo with Nia Howard
Jami sits down with Nia Howard from Centerstone's Be Well Initiative to talk about the load moms carry and never mention. Community isn't a nice extra, it's what keeps you upright, plus the sneaky signs it's time to ask for backup.
Key Takeaways:
Community isn't optional, it's oxygen. One walk, one text, one "me too" from a friend, and suddenly you can breathe again.
Two-plus weeks of bad sleep, nonstop worry, snapping at everyone, or just not feeling like you? That's your brain waving a little flag.
Mid-chaos (hi, marker on the wall), try Nia's BEES: breathe, move, eat, sleep. Unglamorous. Shockingly effective.
Script to try:
"This is the first time I've been this mom, and the first time you've been this kid. We're figuring it out together."

Episode 62: What to Do When Your Child Lies
When your child lies, your brain can go from "That wasn't true" to "Future criminal?!" in about 12 seconds. 😅 In this episode, I use the DIG Method to help you look beneath the behavior, stay regulated, and respond with connection and clear boundaries.
3 Key Takeaways
Name the behavior without labeling the child: "My child told a lie," not "My child is a liar."
Start with Balance: regulate yourself before trying to coach your child.
Curiosity doesn't cancel consequences- it helps you choose one that teaches the missing skill and repairs the harm.

"Hey, bud. I know that wasn't the truth. In our family, we are truth tellers. You can tell me what actually happened or write it down if that feels easier. Then we'll figure out how to make it right."
