Happy New Year, friends!
This episode of Get Mom Ready is intentionally raw, unproduced, and honest — which feels like the only appropriate way to ease back into life after the holidays. If you’re feeling rested…amazing. If you’re feeling behind, buried in email, and wondering how it’s already January 5th…you’re in very good company.
As we step into a new year together, I wanted to pause and reflect on what resonated most with you in 2025. Because what you listened to — and kept coming back to — tells us a lot about what you actually need right now.
What You Loved Most: Our Stories
The top four most-listened episodes of 2025 were our personal stories:
And honestly? That means more than you know.
I remember telling the team that it mattered to me that I went first — that I led with vulnerability. And then the morning my episode went live, I woke up thinking, What have I done? It felt incredibly exposed.
Your response confirmed what Get Mom Ready is really about:
We don’t need perfect advice. We need to know we’re not alone.
Thank you for trusting us with your time, your stories, and your own quiet listening moments — probably while folding laundry or hiding in the car for five extra minutes.
The Episode That Spoke Loudest (Fast)
After our stories, the most-listened episode of the year was:
Decision Fatigue, Mom Guilt, and the Power of Good Enough
What’s interesting? It was only released in November.
That tells me everything I need to know. Decision fatigue is real. Mom guilt is constant. And “good enough” is something we’re all desperately trying to practice — even when it feels uncomfortable.
You can expect us to keep talking about this in 2026. Because if you feel it every day… so do we.
The Next Four Episodes That Resonated Most
If we group our stories together, here are the next four episodes that rose to the top — especially for moms who are tired, thoughtful, and navigating big internal shifts:
How to Find the Courage to Change Your Mind About Work and Motherhood
Principled Living: How to Live from Intention Instead of Reactivity
Choosing a Mindset That Works When Mom Life Feels Overwhelming
That live episode still holds such a special place in my heart. We pulled it together quickly — partly because Meredith happened to be in Houston — and recorded it at SheSpace, which has been a meaningful space in my own growth journey over the last five years. Getting to share that moment with all of you felt full-circle in the best way.
What’s Coming in 2026
We’re already deep into recording for the new year, and I’m so excited about what’s ahead.
You’ll hear from:
Alli Worthington — my personal business coach, powerhouse leader, mom of five, and someone I personally learn from
Priscilla Smith — a stylist and mom bringing such a refreshing perspective
Jennifer Sise — A business and productivity coach who will help us think differently about capacity and focus
And of course, you’ll continue hearing from me, Meredith, Anna, and Hannah, having the conversations we wish someone had invited us into earlier.
