Ashley Adamson and Lisa McCaffrey return for Season 2 of Your Mom™, a podcast that celebrates the messy, magical, maddening experience of motherhood—and the women behind the world's most impressive humans.
Join us as we sit down with the moms of world-class athletes and high-achievers to hear personal stories of parenting that are equal parts extraordinary and exactly like your last Tuesday.
In Season 1, we realized something powerful: when moms are given the space to share their own stories—not just their kids'—something shifts. So this year, we're expanding the lens. We're digging deeper into the power of storytelling itself—how it shapes identity, creates connection, and helps us make sense of this wild ride.
To help us do that, we’ve added two new voices to the pod: Chantal Below and Betsy Bloom—sharp, soulful storytellers who aren’t afraid to go there.
We’re so grateful you’re here. Drop us a line, a rant, or a rave at ashley@yourmom.co. We’re listening.

Ep. 69: Maximizing your beautiful life, with Elizabeth Kendig
Full disclosure: this Your Story episode with Elizabeth Kendig is our longest of the season, and we could have easily chatted for another hour and a half.
It makes sense that we cover a lot of ground because Elizabeth is majorly multifaceted. She identifies as a hippie disguised in J. Crew, dedicated to “taking the weird out of the woo.” Her investment in spirituality and healing is deeply personal: even while ticking all the so-called boxes of success and carving out a flourishing career as a content creator, beauty blogger, and skincare founder, Elizabeth struggled with depression and a stubborn auto-immune disease. This started her on a “self-help bender” that led to the launch of Healers Podcast and connected her with Spiritual Advisor Monica Lawson (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/working-with-your-spirit-guides-discovering-your/id1194780368?i=1000450638777), with whom she co-authored Chase You (https://www.chaseyou.org/), “a field guide to connecting with the Other Side to find more purpose and peace.”
Whether you’re a spirituality skeptic like Betsy or a faith-filled Catholic like Ashley, this eye-opening conversation with Elizabeth has something uniquely for you.
For example, what do popcorn, peaches, and butterflies have in common? Other than being great names for hamsters, they’re also signs that now carry special significance to Ashley, Betsy, and Elizabeth. And after recording this episode, they’ve all started receiving each other’s signs…cue the goose bumps.
Elizabeth and Ashley met via a tree of extended sister-in-laws, so they affectionately refer to themselves as “Sister-in-Loves”. We’re confident you’ll finish this conversation feeling like an extended member of the family too.
Speaking of conversations with friends, Elizabeth recently launched a creative venture with her good friend and fellow editor Kate Rogers: Les Femmes Quotidienne (https://lesfemmesquotidienne.substack.com/) (Français pour “Women of the Day”) is a substack with advice and recommendations on everything from establishing boundaries to whipping up the perfect potato salad. Think of it as tips and tricks from your chicest bff.

This episode is the season finale of Your Story.

Ep. 68: Lisa McCaffrey's ready for the wedding, and your questions.
We “soft-wrapped” Season 2 of YourMom the best way we know how: in robes, answering your burning questions.
As usual, you guys really brought it: topics include Christian’s NFL Madden 25 (https://www.nfl.com/news/niners-rb-christian-mccaffrey-to-appear-on-cover-of-madden-nfl-25) cover (which Lisa definitely did not bet on in Vegas), what Ashley will most miss from her Pac-12 travels, punctuation etiquette; and of course, all things *wedding*, from Lisa’s dress drama to her planned Dirty Dancing choreography with Greg Van Roten (https://www.instagram.com/itsgvr/?hl=en). Plus, Lisa finally embraced her inner-influencer and revealed the secret to her glowy skin: Jones Road Miracle Balm (https://www.jonesroadbeauty.com/products/miracle-balm); turns out, Ashley is also a devoted fan. Once again we’re open to sponsorships, collabs, free samples, etc…
Thanks, as always, for listening and laughing with us this season. It’s not goodbye, it’s just see you at Your Mom's post-wedding debrief.
And keep an eye out for the final Your Story episode of the season with the incomparable Elizabeth Kending, (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/elizabeth-kendig_about-les-femmes-quotidienne-activity-7211118850593939458-Ed63)dropping soon!

[…] It was, okay. Well, and then the last thing I want to ask you before we get to some of this stuff from other people, the unsolicited advice, I know that you've talked before about your grandmother having a huge impact on your life, your mom's mom.
