Friendship wasn’t supposed to be this complicated.

But somewhere between school drop-offs, emotional overload, and trying to keep up with everyone's needs… it’s easy for friendships to fall to the bottom of your never-ending to-do list.

In this heart-opening episode of Motherhood and the Messy Middle, we dive into the real talk about why making—and keeping—friendships as moms in midlife can feel so hard.

Nicole and Robin open up about their own friendship journeys-what’s worked, what’s hurt, and why they believe we still need each other, even when life gets messy and full.

Whether you’re feeling lonely, in a friendship dry spell, or just need reassurance that you're not the only one navigating this season-this one’s for you.

💛 You’re not too much.
💛 You’re not too late.
💛 And you’re not the only one.

If this episode speaks to you, send it to a friend you love (or want to reconnect with).
And if this podcast has helped you feel less alone, we’d be so grateful for a quick review—it helps more moms find our village.

This podcast is for moms navigating the real, raw, and redeeming parts of motherhood-and we’re so glad you’re here.

Do you miss a season that’s already slipped away-when your kids were smaller, life was slower, or you felt more like you? In this tender episode, we talk about the bittersweet ache of motherhood transitions and how to hold space for both grief and gratitude.

Nicole shares what it’s like to parent four kids across four life stages, and Robin reflects on her most sacred season of motherhood. Together, we explore what it means to honor the past while still embracing the beauty (and mess) of now.

You’re allowed to miss what was and still love where you are.

Motherhood has a way of pulling us in every direction-except inward. In this episode, we’re talking about what it looks like to reclaim your spirit when life feels messy, loud, and exhausting. Because what sustains us in the thick of midlife and motherhood isn’t just strategy, structure, or even sleep-it’s soul.

Robin and Nicole unpack the power of prayer, the practice of meditation, and the beauty of meeting God right where you are-without guilt, perfection, or pressure. Whether your spiritual walk feels strong, shaky, or somewhere in between, this conversation is your reminder that you don’t have to “have it all together” to connect with God. You just have to start.

If your spirit feels depleted or distant, you’re not alone and you’re not doing it wrong. This one’s an invitation to come back home to yourself.
