Send us Fan Mail Marriage after kids changes everything—and yet, somehow, the heart of a strong marriage remains the same. In this special episode, Jenn is joined by her husband, Tyler, for an honest conversation about what marriage looks like after children enter the picture. From navigating the mental load and staying connected through busy seasons to sharing parenting responsibilities and finding humor in the chaos, they're pulling back the curtain on the realities of family life. Together...

Ever feel like you're trying to balance a dozen spinning plates while walking through a fog? You're not alone. Messy Minded Mama is that candid, deep-breath conversation you need, hosted by Kate and Jenn, who navigate the same daily chaos as you-except they're also mental health therapists. This podcast digs into the real, unvarnished experience of parenting, where questions about kids' development, family dynamics, and your own mental well-being collide with the need to maybe, just maybe, find a moment for your own health and fitness. Forget perfect Instagram squares; here, the focus is on the "messy middle," that space between the ideal and the reality where most of us actually live. Each episode feels like a chat with insightful friends who get it, blending professional perspective with personal empathy. You'll hear honest talk about anxiety, setting boundaries, keeping a family connected, and navigating guilt without letting it steer the ship. It’s a resource for anyone who wants to parent with more intention and less burnout, understanding that caring for your mind is as crucial as caring for everyone else. Tune in for a genuine, supportive take on making it all work, even when it feels like it’s all falling apart.
