In this deeply nourishing episode, I have a conversation with soul coach and mother of seven, Jenny Baer, to talk about the sacred, messy, and magical journey of motherhood. From toddlers to teenagers to adult children, Jenny shares the emotional shifts, spiritual insights, and practical tools that have helped her mother with more love and less regret.

What We Cover:

• How to move from clinging to savoring each season of motherhood
• Letting go of control and embracing trust in God and your children
• Raising children with purpose — not perfection
• Homeschooling, emotional resilience, and trusting your intuition
• Why traditions matter more than we think (and which ones to keep)
• The power of moms "moming" each other

Favorite Moments:

• Jenny’s analogy of birthing adult children — raw, real, and tear-worthy
• A touching story about how a lullaby she sang came back to her son in bootcamp
• Real talk about training vs. indoctrination
• Permission to nap (and why going horizontal might just save your day)

This week on The Whole Motherload, Jackie sits down with Whitney Vogrinec, an “everyday mom” of two. Whitney opens up about the rhythms of love she builds with her kids, the resilience she hopes to pass on, and the importance of sharing the load with other moms.

From bedtime routines and four-year-old honesty to lessons from her own health struggles, Whitney reminds us that whole mothering doesn’t mean perfect mothering. It means embracing the mess, leaning on community, and staying connected to the full self—physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Why moms were never meant to do this alone.
• The small, everyday rhythms that help kids feel unconditional love.
• Teaching resilience by letting kids face challenges.
• Whole mothering: nurturing not just kids, but the whole self.
• The importance of mothers taking care of their own health.

In this bonus episode of The Whole MotherLoad, I share the deeply personal story of Sarah O’Flaherty — my cousin from Ireland, my pen pal, and ultimately, the woman whose life has intertwined so closely with mine.

What began as a teenage letter exchange grew into a bond that connected me to my husband, Thom, and later to Sarah’s son, Logan, after her heartbreaking passing shortly after his birth. Through unexpected moments of connection, loss, and grace, Sarah continues to play a role in my life — as a friend, a connector, and a guardian angel.

This episode is a companion to my recent conversation with Amy Davis, Sarah’s widower’s wife, offering the backstory that brings even more heart to their journey.

What does it look like to step into motherhood in an unexpected way? In this episode of The Whole MotherLoad, I sit down with Amy Davis, an educator, wife, and mom who married a widower with a young son.

Amy shares the unique challenges of being a stepmom in a situation where there isn’t an “ex,” but rather a beloved mother who passed away. From navigating identity and questions of “Am I enough?” to finding joy in everyday parenting moments, Amy’s story is raw, real, and deeply encouraging.

She opens up about:

• The challenges of “living with someone’s ghost”
• How she and Logan built trust and connection
• The humility and perspective she’s gained through step-parenting
• Why she believes love — not DNA — is what makes a family whole
• Practical advice for moms in blended families (and really, for any mom who doubts herself)

This is a story of resilience, humility, and choosing happiness when life takes unexpected turns. Whether you’re in a blended family or just need reassurance that you’re not alone in the hard parts of motherhood, Amy’s wisdom will inspire you.

“I wasn’t there for his birth, but I get to be here for his life.” Amy Davis

✨ Colby’s childhood revelation that prepared her for infertility

✨ The faith and systems that helped her raise triplets + one

✨ What she learned about trusting her intuition as a mom

✨ How to manage anger and to repair when you fall short

What is it like to be a mom with a mental health diagnosis?

Listen in to this conversation as Allison Sorensen and host Jackie talk about the challenges and blessings of living life as a mom with five kids and OCP. (not a typo)

Life can throw some curveballs, and having kids can magnify the hard things. Moms and mental health is a top priority for the US Surgeon General because the number of parents who struggle with mental health issues has risen steadily over the last 15 years. Moms are more stressed, feel more alone, less seen and heard, and unsupported.

This episode will give you some insight into one mom's journey with a mental health diagnosis.

You are not alone. There is space and grace for you here.
