This solo episode hosted by Shilene Aaron is a lost file she recently found. This episode was recorded in April, in the height of a very tough season. With recently returning back to with from maternity leave, then starting a new job and caring for a sickly child.....Shilene was going through some things!  She talks about how she had to take a break from podcasting to get her life together.  Just because she brands herself as a "Mama Mogul" she does not have it all together and wants other Mamas to know that it's ok to not have it all together.  Take a break, and spend the time to do the things you need to do to feel whole and live well.  During this tough season she was able to share some of her truths and offer enlightening and encouraging words for Mothers and Mommies to be. Each of our journeys are different and it takes each of us being transparent and informative of what we are going through to help break the cycle of suffering in silence. I hope you enjoy this inspirational episode and thank you so much for listening.  Please remember to Rate; Review and share on social media and tag us.
