  • E54: Raising a Child with an Invisible Disease
    Feb 10 2026

    Some of the hardest things about motherhood are the ones no one can see.


    In this episode, we talk about parenting children with invisible diseases—specifically Caley’s son, Whitten John 💪🏼, who lives with AVP deficiency (Diabetes Insipidus). He looks completely “normal,” acts like every other kid, and yet requires very real, very specific care to stay safe.

    We unpack what it’s like to trust others with your child when their needs aren’t obvious, and how exhausting it can feel to constantly explain precautions that make you sound “dramatic” to people who don’t understand.

    We also dive into scanxiety as Whitten prepares for another MRI—bringing up emotions tied to cancer, LCH recurrence fears, anesthesia, NPO days, and all the heavy feelings that come with them. There are tears. There’s honesty. And there’s deep empathy.

    If you’re a mom navigating an invisible disease—or loving a child whose struggles aren’t visible—this episode is for you.

    You’re not crazy. You’re not alone. And you’re doing better than you think. 💛

  • E53: We Did That! A Recap of Our First Year From Tears to Pee Your Pants Laughter
    Feb 3 2026

    Season two starts with a celebration—and yes, we’re taking a moment to say we did that.

    In this kickoff episode, we’re looking back on everything Season One brought us: the laughs, the growth, the moments that surprised us, and the community that showed up in ways we never expected. We’re sharing some wild (and honestly humbling) Spotify stats—including being shared more than 96% of shows and landing in the top 10—and revisiting some of our favorite hilarious moments along the way.

    But more than numbers, this season opener is about impact. We talk about what we’ve learned, how this podcast has helped moms feel seen, heard, and less alone, and why creating real connection has always mattered more than being perfect.

    We’re also celebrating our Mom Squad—our private Facebook community of over 3.5K moms from all over the world—and giving a little teaser of what’s coming next with the I AM JOURNEY program launching in 2026.


    🎧 Season Two starts now.

    And we’re just getting warmed up.

  • #52 How to Prepare Your Kids for Adversity (and Why Your Words Matter More Than You Think)
    Jan 27 2026

    This one gets real, Mommas.

    After multiple conversations with groups of pediatric cancer moms, Caley shares powerful reflections on gratitude, perspective, and the way our words shape not only us, but our children.

    In this episode, she and Megan dive into how kids absorb everything — from our tone to our mindset — and how we can equip them with tools for resilience instead of reactions rooted in fear or victimhood.

    They also touch on the reality that adversity will happen, and how choosing to see light in the darkest moments can transform everything.

    It’s a raw and hopeful reminder that while we can’t protect our kids from pain, we can teach them how to rise through it.
