41 Weeks Pregnant and Losing My Patience (But Trying to Trust My Body)

Being past your due date can mess with your mind. In this episode, I open up about pregnancy blues at 40 going on 41 weeks, trying all the natural labor tricks, and the emotional battle of feeling like your body isn’t cooperating. We talk about learning what your emotions are telling you, leaning on the right support system, and accepting what’s out of your control. I also dive into relationship dynamics like age gap dating, women maturing faster than men, and the difference between needing a partner and wanting one.

Is Life Really What You Expect It To Be

Before going into labor, we all build expectations about what it will look like, feel like, and how we’ll handle it. In this episode, I talk through what I expected, what I’ve learned along the way, and why labor rarely follows the plan we create in our heads. Also learning that rest is important—but when you’re someone who thrives on movement, productivity, and momentum, sitting still can feel uncomfortable. In this episode I talk about the struggle of slowing down and why not feeling productive can mess with your mindset. Also many of us hold ourselves to extremely high standards. In this episode I talk about self-criticism, where it comes from, and how to push yourself to be better without constantly feeling like you’re falling short.

No Excuses. Just Results.

Life is hard AF. Period. But we’re talking about making a way instead of making excuses. What it looks like to push through, build anyway, and choose growth. Even when it would be easier to fold. You also never know when my oldest is going to pop in and steal the mic. This episode is full of real-life interruptions, unexpected commentary, and those sweet moments that remind us why we do this parenting thing in the first place.

Covered, Called & About to Pop

Baby girl could be here any day now — and I’m reflecting on everything leading up to this moment. From cardinals reminding me that my mom is near, to being deeply loved at my baby shower, to acknowledging my own growth — this episode is about prevailing. We’re talking: Manifestation with discipline Protecting my peace Postpartum awareness Using maternity leave intentionally Dogs that clearly want to start a new life outside And the people who are meant to be in my life showing up exactly when I need them Gratitude. Growth. Alignment. And a little comedy, because that’s just me.

Divine Signs, Spiritual Talks, Reflective Moments, & Being My Most Vulnerable

This week we’re talking about everything — because why not? 👀✨ A raw and honest conversation about navigating single motherhood with intention. In this episode, I open up about the vulnerable moments, the tough decisions, and the boundaries I’ve had to set to create a life that truly supports me and my kids. From choosing peace over pressure to redefining what “doing it all” really means, this is about owning my journey, trusting my instincts, and building a home rooted in love, growth, and alignment. From paying attention to the signs the universe keeps sending (hello angel numbers 👼🏽🔢) to navigating nonstop heartburn at 36–37 weeks pregnant… the spiritual girlies and the pregnant girlies are both outside. It’s reflective. It’s hormonal. It’s spiritual. It’s slightly acidic (thanks, heartburn). Tap in. 🎙️💛

Side Quests & Baby Prep

If you love real conversations with a little chaos, this one’s for you. We bounce from the Super Bowl to ADHD side quests, kids being outside more, baby girl prep, and the challenge of not buying everything before the shower. My best friend shares her water-breaking story, we discuss Da Brat and Judy’s Breakfast Club interview, and I talk about future podcast ideas with my boys. Unfiltered, busy, and very on brand.

Proud, Pressed & Paying Attention

This episode moves between pride and pressure—watching my kids bond, correcting behaviors that won’t quit, and appreciating the small wins. From Texas storms and home-cooked meals to unfiltered kid commentary, trending shows, current events, and podcast growth, it’s an honest look at parenting, perspective, and progress. And to be honest, I in fact did NOT take a nap lmao.

Lightening Crotch & Color-Coded Chaos⚡📒

(A little late with the upload haha...LIFE...OH and jokes on me because....the kids are out of school ANOTHER day lmao) This episode is a real-life check-in full of laughs, honesty, and a little organized chaos. From pregnancy pains like lightning crotch and lower back struggles to realizing my delivery date is creeping up with nothing ready (oops 😅), I’m sharing it all. We talk daily reading wins (just finished Secrets Never Told), basketball season starting for my youngest, and the positive growth I’m seeing in my oldest that’s making me pause and smile. Add in ADHD without meds, planners saving my sanity, adult screen-time limits, FaceTiming my best friend, and kids accidentally running into wild podcast conversations and you’ve got a very real episode. Plus: southern weather mood swings, constant school days off, and why I feel like a whole new person on the days I actually move my body.

Pregnant, Parenting & Processing Life

Life doesn’t slow down just because you’re pregnant and this episode proves it. From awkward moments of getting hit on with a baby bump, to navigating the school system and planning my baby girl’s shower, I’m sharing what life really looks like right now. We talk dad jokes, intentional to-do lists, the Verizon outage that felt straight out of a movie, kid-free dinner dates, being still versus being present, and how I’m preparing my kids for the real world.

The A.Milly Experience & CoHost Tisha

Welcome to a space for real conversations, real emotions, and real life. From getting to know your host and interviewing local nail techs, to navigating picky clients, working from home with toddlers (yes, they’ll be in the background 😅), and staying grounded through grief after losing a parent. This podcast is all about deep, authentic talks, positive affirmations, trusting the universe, and showing up as your true self, even when life is loud, messy, and beautiful.
