EP 342: Learning to Embrace Every Season of Motherhood

Grab your coffee, your tea, or whatever cozy drink gets you through the chaos, because sisters Koryn and Elizabeth are here to spill the real tea on the different seasons of motherhood!

In this heart-to-heart episode, the dynamic duo—Koryn, a seasoned mom of preteens and teens, and Elizabeth, a busy mama of toddlers and babies—are diving deep into the joys (and challenges) of raising kids at different stages. Spoiler: No matter what season you're in, they’ve got golden nuggets of wisdom to share on how to support each other through it all.

First off, let’s talk about what it’s like to be a mom of both toddlers and teens. On one hand, you've got Elizabeth navigating the world of diapers, tantrums, and toddler snacks (don’t forget the endless rounds of “mom, I’m hungry!”).

On the other, Koryn is in the thick of navigating preteen and teen moods, driving lessons, and the art of figuring out who these people are as they grow into their own beings. While the seasons of motherhood are vastly different, these sisters are living proof that no matter how old your kids are, the journey is full of similar challenges, triumphs, and plenty of laughs (and sometimes tears).

Koryn, the "teen mom" of the duo, shares how important it is to give your older kids the space they need to develop their independence, but also how to stay connected when they’re testing boundaries or going through mood swings.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth, in the “toddler trenches,” talks about how exhausting and all-consuming it can be to manage the endless needs of little ones, but how those early years are foundational to building trust and attachment. They both agree that no matter the age, patience and understanding are the cornerstones of navigating motherhood with grace—and a little humor goes a long way.

One of the best parts of this episode is the way Koryn and Elizabeth support each other, even though they’re in completely different phases of motherhood. Koryn’s advice for Elizabeth? Don’t sweat the small stuff (like the mess or the sleepless nights). Elizabeth’s advice for Koryn?

Celebrate the small victories—like when your teen finally talks to you without rolling their eyes. They’re not just sharing wisdom from their own experiences, but also showing how they lean on each other as sisters, offering love, encouragement, and practical tips no matter what stage of motherhood they’re in.

The heart of this episode is about connection. The seasons of motherhood can feel isolating at times, but Koryn and Elizabeth remind us that no matter where we are in the journey, we’re all in this together.

Whether you’ve got a little one clinging to your leg or a teen telling you they know everything (oh, the joy), these sisters demonstrate that the most important thing is to have a tribe—to lean on those who get it, who support you, and who lift you up, no matter what age your kids are.

So if you’re a mom juggling different stages of motherhood or just need a little pick-me-up, grab your favorite drink, press play, and listen in.

Koryn and Elizabeth’s refreshing take on motherhood is filled with laughter, wisdom, and a reminder that every season of motherhood is worthy of celebration, no matter how messy or beautiful it may be! 🌸👩‍👧‍👧
