About Mic'd Up & Unfiltered with Kristine & Amy
Two women navigating life, health, relationships, home, and business—out loud.
We’ve lived a lot of life, and we’re still figuring plenty of it out. We talk about the things we’re experiencing, questioning, learning, unlearning, and changing our minds about—with honesty, curiosity, humor, and two perspectives that don’t always match.
No pretending we have it all figured out. Just real conversations about being human and trying to live a life that feels good, means something, and actually works for you.
Episode 33: When Your Kids Need You Less: Motherhood, Mom Guilt & What Comes Next
We spend years teaching our kids to be independent. So why does it hurt when they actually are?
This week on Mic’d Up & Unfiltered, Amy and Kristine talk about the strange tug of war between being proud of your kids and missing how much they used to need you. Amy opens up about approaching an empty nest after 36 years of raising children, the quiet moments that catch her off guard, and wondering who she wants to be in this next chapter.
They also get into mom guilt, parenting your younger kids differently than your first, and dreaming about the future with your spouse when you haven’t even figured out this weekend.
There are detours into sleepless nights, college life, and the questionable things we survived growing up. Because apparently, becoming more independent is an adjustment for the moms, too.

Episode 32: Friendship, Getting Older & a Cruise Gone Wrong
A racerback sports bra on backward. A first cruise that might also be the last. And the friends who make life a little lighter.
This week on Mic’d Up & Unfiltered, Amy and Kristine catch up on a rough cruise, the surprises of getting older, and the different kinds of friends we need in our lives. From the friend who tells you the truth in the fitting room to the one you can call when everything goes sideways, they talk about feeling connected and how much a good conversation can fill your cup.
There are a few detours, plenty of laughs, and a reminder that sometimes, time with a friend is exactly what you need.

Episode 31: She Doesn’t Like Me | Comparison, Envy & the Stories We Tell Ourselves — Part 2
How often have you convinced yourself that someone doesn’t like you, is judging you, or has something you don’t, without actually knowing what they’re thinking?
In Part 2 of their conversation about judgment and empathy, Amy and Kristine explore envy, comparison, and the stories we create inside our own heads. They talk about parenting children who need love in different ways, misinterpreting text messages, feeling lonely even when we enjoy being alone, and how social media gives us tiny snapshots that rarely tell the whole story.
They also ask an important question: When comparison starts stealing your joy, how do you interrupt the story you’ve already convinced yourself is true?
It’s a funny, honest conversation about insecurity, connection, vulnerability, and learning to see life through a lens other than our own.
