Podcast: Mama Merit Badge Premiere
Podcast wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card, but Mama Merit Badge came together pretty quickly, and I’m super excited about it.
In our very first episode, Samantha and I pull back the curtain on what this whole thing is really about: the beautiful mess of motherhood, ambition, and trying to remember what day it is.
We’re talking grocery store disasters, the magic of lowered expectations, and why Friday afternoons hit different when you're in the thick of it.
This episode is part intro, part real-talk—because we’re not here to pretend we’ve got it all figured out. We’re here to say: if you're juggling nap schedules, business calls, existential crises, and snack requests, you’re not alone.
