As a working mom, I understand the challenges we face in our day-to-day balancing work, life, relationships and the ever-elusive “me” time. Mommin’ ain’t for the faint of heart ladies! Nunchucks and Ponytails is an unapologetic and honest podcast for moms in every stage of parenting where we will discuss the good, the bad and downright messy of motherhood. So get comfy, grab a drink and let’s get talking!
⚠️EXPLICIT content, Momma has a potty mouth⚠️ - This week I get real and honest with myself and admit to some sh*t that is embarrassing and difficult to face when it comes to the almighty dollar.

Becoming a Mom After Losing My Own
⚠️EXPLICIT content - momma has a potty mouth⚠️. *Trigger warning* This week’s episode is hands down THE most emotional and raw episode to date. In it, I speak of losing my mom to cancer only to find out two months later that I was pregnant with my miracle baby. Grab your tissues because I don’t hold back on my words OR my emotions.

Check Yo’ Damn Self!
*⚠️EXPLICIT content - Momma has a potty mouth⚠️* Life’s challenges can leave us feeling frustrated and angry and embittered BUT we have a choice as to what frequency and energy we are giving off to the world. And whatever that energy we give out is what we are going to get back.

New Years Resolutions: Love Them or Hate Them?
*EXPLICIT content - momma has a potty mouth* Welcome back for the first episode of 2021!!!! It only seemed appropriate to ask the age-old question: New Years resolutions - love them or hate them? People seem to have strong feelings either way, I thought I was one of them....but it turns out, they may not be as bad as I originally thought after-all. As always, I welcome you comments and contributions to the conversation!!!

Just Breathe Momma
*Explicit content - Momma has a potty mouth*. Sometimes as moms, we can get so overwhelmed and frustrated that it leads to being the angry mom. No one ever wants to be that mom, but inevitably one day it WILL happen. Today, I speak on exactly this and what led to me having that kind of day and how I overcame it.

Christmas Eve: The Countdown is On
Christmas Eve is hands down one of the busiest days of the year for us mommas. All of the last minute things that need to be done in order to give our families the best and most memorable Christmas can feel insurmountable. Just know that even though it feels as though we are unappreciated and the work we put into this holiday is unnoticed, I see you and you are killing it Momma!!!

Siblings: Friends or Foes?
Growing up an only child, I certainly had some preconceived notions as to what having siblings looked like and how incredible that would be. I realize now that I had NO clue what it was like to have multiple kids. Even watching my friends growing up with their siblings and as an adult, my friends with their kids....ZERO idea. Today I share with you my eye-opening adventure to date with my kiddos and some pretty cool shit I've learned along the way.
Forward any questions or comments about the show or anything else you may want to ask me by shooting me an email at nunchucksandponytails@gmail.com or send me a DM on my Instagram page @nunchucks_and_ponytails. I'd love to hear from you!! Who knows, YOUR question could end up being my next episode!
