A podcast for anyone who's ever found themselves carrying the load, lifting others up and figuring it out along the way. Hosted by three sisters, Mikaela, Cebrina and Carissa, this show dives into real stories, candid conversations, and practical advice for life's challenges. Whether you're a mom or someone who's always helping others you'll find connection, inspiration and a little bit (or a lot) of humor here. Because when you're an Aider, you're never alone.
What This Summer Taught Us About What We Actually Want
As Summer is coming to an end, Mikaela and Cebrina are catching up on the things that made this season memorable. The trips, treats, shows, products, kid chaos, favorite moments, and a few things that sounded much better in theory.
But somewhere between pool days, s’mores disasters, a week completely alone, and trying to keep track of seven kids in a wave pool, the conversation turns into something bigger: What do I actually want?
They talk about letting go of control, carrying the emotional load for the people around them, trying to do everything at once, and realizing how hard it can be to answer what you want when you’ve spent so much time thinking about what everyone else needs.
It’s a summer catch-up about the fun, the chaos, and what this season unexpectedly taught them about themselves.

Why Moms Feel Like They've Lost Themselves (What Hilary Duff Got Right)
Something happened at one of Hilary Duff's recent concerts that resonated with an entire generation of women, and it wasn't a song.
For many of us, Hilary was the soundtrack to our childhood. We grew up watching Lizzie McGuire, singing along to "Come Clean," and dreaming about who we'd become. Now, the same girls who looked up to her are raising children, building careers, and trying to remember who they are beyond the roles they fill every day.
In this episode, we take a deep dive into Hilary Duff's journey from child star to pop icon, wife, mother, and now her long-awaited return to music. But this conversation isn't really about celebrity. It's about what her comeback represents.
We talk about the quiet fear that life can become predictable after motherhood, why so many women miss having "firsts," and the difference between wanting your old life back and believing there are still new versions of yourself waiting to be discovered.
Because maybe the goal isn't to become who you used to be.
Maybe it's to become someone new.

The Bluey Episodes That Made Me Cry (And Every Parent Should Watch)
What started as a fun challenge quickly turned into one of their most emotional conversations yet.
This week, Mikaela tried to describe some of the most heartfelt Bluey episodes to Cebrina to see if she could make her cry... but instead, Mikaela was the one in tears.
They talk through two fan-favorite episodes—Baby Race and Onesies—and the parenting lessons behind them. From the pressure of milestones and feeling like you're falling behind, to infertility, grief, and the complicated emotions that can exist alongside joy, these stories opened the door to a much deeper conversation than they expected.
Whether someone is a parent, hoping to become one, navigating infertility, or simply trying to give themselves a little more grace, these episodes remind us that we're all just doing our best.
In this episode they discuss:
Why Baby Race resonates with so many first-time parents
The beautiful message behind Onesies and infertility
The pressure to keep up with milestones
Holding joy and grief at the same time
Why sometimes the simplest children's show says exactly what adults need to hear
Have you ever cried watching Bluey? They’d love to know which episode gets you every time.
