Being booked solid does not always mean life is working. In this first episode of our new mini series, The Overextended Mom, we are talking about overscheduling and how it slowly drains the joy, energy, and connection out of motherhood.

What often starts with good intentions can turn into packed calendars, rushed mornings, endless commitments, and the constant feeling of being behind. From kids’ activities and family obligations to the invisible planning and mental load that usually lands on moms, overscheduling can quietly take over every part of life.

In Booked Solid, we explore how full schedules affect our nervous systems, our relationships, and our ability to actually be present. We talk about the guilt that shows up when we consider slowing down, the fear of letting our kids miss out, and the pressure to keep saying yes even when we are already stretched thin.

This episode is not about blame or doing more. It is about noticing the cost of always being busy and giving yourself permission to question whether the pace you are keeping still serves you and your family.

This is Part 1 of The Overextended Mom mini series. In Part 2, we will talk about giving too much. In Part 3, we will focus on learning how to say no without guilt.

If your calendar feels full but your cup feels empty, this conversation is for you.

We love our kids. Deeply. Fiercely. Would do absolutely anything for them.

And sometimes... they give us the ick.

In this episode, we are talking about the things our kids do that make our eyes twitch and our nervous system short-circuit for a moment. Not because we do not adore them, but because parenting older kids brings a whole new level of sensory overload.

From questionable hygiene choices and mysterious smells to loud noises, zero personal space, and habits that make you whisper “please stop” through clenched teeth, this conversation is honest, funny, and very real.

This episode is a reminder that holding love and irritation at the same time does not make you a bad mom. It makes you human. Sometimes laughter is the best way to release the guilt, the overwhelm, and the overstimulation that comes with raising growing humans.

If you have ever thought, “I love you so much… and also please don’t touch me right now,” this one is for you.

Pull up a chair, laugh with us, and remember you are not alone in This Flocked Up Life.

This week, Becky is flying solo to talk about something so many moms feel but rarely say out loud — somewhere along the way, the magic of the holidays stopped belonging to us. We became the makers of the magic instead of the ones who get to feel it.

But what if this year could be different?

It's time to reclaim the wonder, the joy, and the childlike excitement you used to feel when the lights went up, the cookies baked, and the whole world felt softer and sparkly.

Inside, we explore:

• Letting go of the pressure to make every tradition perfect

• Reframing the “have to” list into a “want to savor” list

• Creating magic that fits this season of life, not past ones

• How choosing joy (even in tiny ways) shifts your whole home

• The power of slowing down and letting yourself be present

• Simple ways to reconnect with your inner child and feel wonder again

• Why you deserve the magic just as much as your kids do

This episode is your gentle reminder that the most magical time of year isn’t just for them, it’s for you too. You’re allowed to savor the moment, laugh big, let things be imperfect, and choose joy every single day.

In this solo episode, Lacey shares a fresh Thanksgiving perspective that every mom needs to hear. This season can feel overwhelming, emotional, and full of shifting traditions, but it can also be a time to slow down, soften, and make space for change.

From rewriting holiday expectations to honoring new family dynamics, Lacey opens up about what it feels like when long-standing traditions no longer fit and new ones begin to take shape. She talks about choosing joy, embracing change, and giving yourself permission to say no to what drains you and yes to what nourishes you.

We also explore gratitude in a way that goes far beyond the cliché. Think grounding, nervous-system soothing, perspective-shifting gratitude that actually makes life feel lighter. Plus, Lacey shares a new practice she has adopted this season, the power of slowing down, and gentle journal prompts to help you reconnect with yourself as fall turns to winter.

If the holidays feel different this year, if old traditions feel tight, or if you are craving a more intentional rhythm, this episode will meet you right where you are. You deserve a season that feels good to your soul.

Come take a breath with us.

We’re wrapping up our Perimenopause Mini-Series with hope, honesty, and real solutions.

In Part 3, The Road Ahead, we’re shifting from surviving to thriving. This episode is all about what you can actually do to feel better in your body, mind, and spirit as you move through perimenopause. From understanding your hormones to reclaiming your energy, finding emotional balance, and preparing the next generation—we’re breaking down what it really means to take back control.

If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t feel like myself anymore,” this conversation will help you reconnect to the woman you’re becoming. You are not broken. You’re evolving.

Listen in as we talk about:

• Real lifestyle shifts that support hormonal balance
• Emotional health and nervous system regulation
• How to reclaim your identity and confidence
• Preparing our daughters for a future of honesty and empowerment

You’re not alone in this journey, and it doesn’t have to be so heavy. Let’s move forward together—with more awareness, ease, and compassion.

Welcome back to our Perimenopause Mini-Series! In Part 2, we’re diving into the fresh new hell of it all: the mood swings, the brain fog, the night sweats, and the “I swear I’m losing my mind” moments.

If you’ve ever found yourself crying one minute, rage-cleaning the next, and questioning everything in between, this one’s for you. We’re getting honest (and a little unhinged) about what it really feels like to live through perimenopause — the symptoms no one told us about, the emotions that don’t make sense, and the deep sigh of relief that comes from realizing you’re not crazy.

In Part 3, we’ll wrap up this series by focusing on what comes next: how to care for ourselves, find support, and make sure the next generation doesn’t walk this road alone.

So grab a cold drink (you’ll need it), and let’s get into it.

No one really prepared us for this part of womanhood. The mood swings, the brain fog, the rage, and the “is it hot in here or is it just me?” moments.

In this episode, we are kicking off our Perimenopause Mini-Series by asking the question: Why didn’t the women in our lives tell us?

From generational silence to the cultural shame that has kept women’s health in the shadows, we are unpacking the frustration and confusion that comes with entering perimenopause feeling completely blindsided.

Join Becky and Lacey as they share real talk, relatable stories, and a whole lot of “same, girl” moments in this vulnerable and validating conversation. You are not crazy. You just weren’t told.

Coming Up in the Mini-Series:

Part 2 → The Fresh New Hell of It All (symptoms, mood swings, and sleepless nights)

Part 3 → The Road Ahead (how we can take back control and support the next generation)

🎧 Did anyone actually prepare you for perimenopause, or were you left to figure it out alone? We would love to hear your story.

Being a sports parent is more than showing up with orange slices—it’s a full-time job. Between late practices, early games, carpool chaos, and sideline drama, the highs and lows of team life can make even the most organized mom feel overwhelmed.

In this episode of This Flocked Up Life, Becky and Lacey share the funny, frustrating, and unforgettable parts of raising athletes. From knowing when to step in (and when to let your kid handle it) to navigating parent dynamics in the stands, this is a raw, relatable look at modern sports parenting.

Whether you’re cheering under the Friday night lights or dragging a folding chair to the soccer field, you’ll laugh, nod, and probably feel a little seen.
