This week on Before We Get It Right, we're joined by Nicole, creator of @peaceofmindmama, audiologist, content creator, mom of two, and a woman learning how to navigate hard seasons.

What started as a conversation about wellness, motherhood, and finding peace quickly became a powerful discussion about grief, identity, postpartum struggles, faith, and learning to let go of control when life doesn't go according to plan.

Nicole shares her experience becoming a first-time mom during the isolation of 2020, leaving the career she thought she'd have forever, documenting motherhood online, and navigating one of the most difficult seasons of her life: losing her mom to cancer just weeks after giving birth.

Most importantly, this episode is for the mom who feels overwhelmed, exhausted, heartbroken, or alone. Nicole's story is a reminder that hard seasons don't last forever, healing isn't linear, and even after the darkest chapters, joy can find its way back in.

At one point, Shannon Warr had what many entrepreneurs dream of building: a fast-growing online brand generating $3.6 million in annual revenue, a massive social media following, influencer partnerships, and a business that appeared wildly successful from the outside.

Then everything changed.

In this episode of Before We Get It Right, Shannon shares the story behind Clad & Cloth's rise, the pressures that came with rapid growth, and what happened when the business began to unravel. We talk about debt, financial stress, losing the life you worked so hard to build, and the emotional toll of watching your identity become intertwined with your success.

But this conversation isn't just about losing everything...it's about what comes after.

Shannon opens up about navigating motherhood during crisis, rebuilding her confidence, learning to trust herself again, and what she's doing differently as she rebuilds Clad & Cloth today.

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt crushed by expectations, tied their worth to their accomplishments, or wondered if they could survive their worst-case scenario.

One of the most powerful parts of Shannon's story is her willingness to talk openly about something most people would rather hide. In a world full of highlight reels, this conversation is a reminder that failure doesn't define you, and sometimes the most meaningful growth happens after everything falls apart.

If you're in a season where life, business, finances, or relationships feel heavier than you can carry, we hope this episode reminds you that rebuilding is possible.

We're back with another round of Messy Middle Confessions — and this batch might be our most honest one yet. Six anonymous submissions from real moms about the stuff that lives in the back of your mind but rarely makes it out of your mouth. The toddler mom who loves her kid and desperately needs more than a three hour break. The wife who resents her genuinely good husband and can't fully explain why. The mom googling things at 11pm that she's embarrassed to admit. The woman who sat in a Target parking lot for twenty minutes just to feel like a person again.

No fixing. No silver linings. Just two moms reading your confessions out loud, reacting honestly, and reminding you that the messy middle is crowded — and you are not alone in it.

If you've ever felt like you were the only one thinking these things, this episode is for you.
