This show covers topics that’s are so needed for moms! I really enjoyed the episodes about the brain and deescalating well. I love learning more about the brain and Emily explained it so well! Elizabeth

I could cry like when an old friend comes back into your life ! Love this podcast !

Thank you for explaining this brain thing! You nailed it, you’re back baby!!!

My brain says thank you!!

I am so excited for you to back creating podcasts! I loved Moms Struggling Well and so happy that you are back to praying for everyone at the end of your podcast.

Ok somehow came across this podcast and laughed so much! Listened to the transition to work episode on my commute to my new job! I laughed and felt at home listening to the very things that go on in my head as I transition back to working mom status-also an ER nurse with little ones. Thank you for the companionship and laughter!

Gosh I love these ladies! They have given me SO MUCH hope and encouragement. I’m absolutely devastated they’re not going to be making any more, but I also understand the seasons change in our lives and they have to move on. Best wishes for these sweet, fun, loving ladies!

I started listening back to MSW back in 2017 when I was a single schoolteacher driving to work each morning. In 2018 life got hard with my mom passing and I didn’t tune in to podcasts for awhile. I’m now married with a 3 month old and felt so alone as my mom was my best friend and the person I could lean on. Then I remembered Emily and how I always felt encouraged by her realness and jumped back over to MSW. I binged all the episodes and felt even more excited to “meet” Kate and Rebecky too! Night after long night I’m giggling, crying and finding hope and energy to keep struggling through new motherhood. Each episode was giving me life and I joined patreon to “relive” all the moments I’ve missed. Sadly the news of the show coming to an end is killing my softly. (I’ve cried and wondered how I’ll get through the next stages of motherhood) But I’m truly grateful for rediscovering MSW. If I could give 10 stars I would.

I finally figured out what makes this podcast unique and even addictive! What makes you dying to listen to the new episode first thing Monday morning. I couldn’t put my finger on it, as I’ve been thinking about what to put in this review. I just knew it was immensely relatable, funny, sarcastic in the best way, heartwarming, educational, and encouraging. BUT THE THING that sets it above other podcasts is Emily, Kate, and Rebecca let you in. Other podcasts, will allude to “stuff” that discouraging or “things” that have been a struggle … but Moms Struggling Well will tell it like it is - the good, bad, and the ugly. Through the Giving Me Life and Killing Me Softly segments, the listener feels like one of girls, sitting down for coffee and hashing out LIFE with friends. It’s relational. You can’t help but feel a connection to the show and Rebecca, Emily and Kate. Thank you, ladies, for struggling out loud to let us know we’re not alone - “cuz we’re all in this together.” 💕💕💕

2022: I’m still here and still loving this pod! I’m a Patreon member and it’s worth every penny! Emily, Kate, & Rebecca are like the three sisters I’ve never had. Thanks for being real & relatable, ladies! 2018 Edit: the format has changed a bit but I’m still enjoying MSW podcast weekly. Their vulnerability with questioning God & mental health struggles have helped me through some very difficult times in my life. Keep it up. Thanks ladies! 2016: Monday's are better with Emily's podcast! You will hear real-life moms talk about real-life issues & you will relate! I've been encouraged & challenged in my daily mothering. I've heard about great books, life changing products, & new to me ministries that are making a positive impact in our world!

Thank you so much ladies for being so real about the day to day struggles of being a mom. Being a Patreon member is worth getting to listen in each week. I am so grateful for this Podcast. Every week I feel uplifted and reenergized to keep moming & not running away from home.

This is my favorite podcast by far. It’s real, authentic, and funny. I subscribe to the Patreon episodes too, and can’t wait for the new podcast every week. Thank you for helping this new bonus-mom struggle well.

Ladies, I don’t even know if I can fully express my gratitude for you three and your amazing podcast. If I could give you 10 Stars I would! You have helped me through some pretty hard days, including the deaths of both of my parents and struggles with raising my three little ones with a husband who travels 80% of the time. I literally laugh out loud and probably look like a crazy person to my kids and husband when I have my earbuds in, doing work around the house. Thank you for the joy, love and reminders of faith that you put out into the world. Blessings to you and your families!

I’ve been a faithful listener for five years now and this podcast has been the highlight of my week, every week! I’ve loved watching (listening to?) this show evolve into what it is now and I feel like I know Emily, Rebecca and Kate personally! That says SO much of the type of podcast this is! It feels more like a weekly phone conversation and check in than anything else. Not to mention, these gals are a hoot and a half and never fail to leave me without side splitting laughter. I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve only just subscribed on Patreon after all these years as a gift to get myself through my husband’s current year long deployment. I’m so excited to have even more laughter, tears and beautiful insight from honest and real mama friends. Thank you, girls, for being so true to yourselves, for breaching the tough topics and for helping me feel more “normal” not only in my faith walk but also in motherhood. You all are the comforting cup of coffee and cozy blanket of podcasts and I look forward to staying a faithful fan the whole way through!

I SO appreciate the realness of this podcast! A place where I can see the many ways I am not alone in the challenges I face as a mom, but also be ENCOURAGED and filled with hope. I highly recommend this podcast to all the mama’s out there!

This is my favorite podcast of all time. I find myself giggling at times just remembering funny little moments from the show. But at other times, I have implemented real, sound advice from this show that has impacted my life in an incredibly positive way. The simple mantra of “peace is just a perspective shift away,” has become some thing I repeat to myself, my friends, and my family. I am so thankful for all of the time and energy that these three ladies put in to this show. It makes a real difference in my life. ❤️

The Dream Team has come into my home, so that I don’t have to run away! I find such comfort and solidarity with you three. While listening along I have laughed and cried. Thanks for keeping your lives so open and real, so that we know we’re not alone on this crazy journey called motherhood. I hope that making this podcast has brought you as much joy as you have brought to the world. 💜

Love love love this podcast! It’s my favorite podcast! As a fellow mom I enjoy the ladies’ tips, conversations and interviews. They have a great dynamic and always make me laugh. Looking forward to more!

What can I say about the girls that hasn’t already been said? They have taught me patience, perseverance, and strength in parenting as well as my own adult life. Katie specifically has shared her journey of working and going back to school to pursue her dream career, which spurred me on to do the same! I will never not listen to these wise, hilarious women! I am so grateful for their advice and vulnerability in every area of life. If I could give them more starts, I would!!

I recently found your podcast because I listen to the BigBoo cast and saw that Melanie was going to be a guest on yours. Oh how I wish I had known about your podcast from the beginning! But now I am enjoying binging it around the clock! You all are so relatable and bring so much life every time I listen. I’ve also enjoyed going back to the beginning and listening to the interviews with your guests. An all around fantastic podcast! Love you ladies!

This podcast is so fun to listen to. I feel like I’m sitting around with a group of friends. They are so honest and open with life’s struggles and it makes me feel less alone. I’m a mom to 3, ages 16, 17 and 8. Two boys driving and a sassy daughter that is 8 going on 18. God help me! 😂🤣

Emily, Kate, and Rebecca are so relatable and encouraging. I love that they each bring a different perspective, plus humor and heart to the conversation. I wish we could be friends IRL. My subconscious clearly agrees because I recently dreamed that in the midst of a “Freaky Friday” situation, Emily offered me a shoulder to cry on, and no judgment at all- despite the fact that I was in my 12 year old daughter’s body. 🤣 Thanks for helping me struggle well. For real. Love you, ladies!

How often do you find something that is equal parts entertaining, validating, thought-provoking and educational? For me, listening to Emily, Kate, and Rebecca is like winning the podcast lottery. I am always excited to use my very limited free time listening to these 3 ladies chat about the things that fill my days - problems and solutions, faith and big questions, family, relationships, and how to struggle well and laugh through it all.

Rebecca, Emily and Kate will feel like your friends the moment you start listening. They are vulnerable, faith filled, encouraging and downright hysterical. I am sure putting out a podcast every week is a lot of work but you wouldn’t be able to tell. They obliviously enjoy their conversations with each other and I am so glad they let us listen in. This is hands down my favorite podcast to listen to each week. Do yourself a favor and subscribe ASAP you won’t regret it!

I love listening to podcasts, and this one is in my top two for sure! Love the laughter & encouragement and just plain fun that these ladies bring!! I don’t miss an episode! I was listening well before I was a Mom, and now I enjoy it even more, having a baby of my own. Certainly a bright spot on a Monday! ❤️

These ladies are the real deal! As a mom, I relate with so many of the topics they discuss and appreciate hearing their different view points. I usually find myself laughing out loud at least once every episode! Motherhood is hard and beautiful and they cover all aspects with a solid dose of humor. It’s encouraging to know that others are struggling well through similar things.

How is it possible that a podcast is changing lives? It’s because it’s not just a podcast. This is a supportive group of women working through the things that kill us softly and give us life. The conversations are practical, spiritual, hilarious, and humble. The community is a mutual place to connect and feel encouraged, and to have so much fun! It’s worth it! I’ve become a part of the community at the top Patreon level and the cost for the year is about the cost of one therapy session, but worth so much more, and that’s coming from a therapist. I hope you join us! There is always room for another mama!

This podcast has been such a blessing….the honesty, the transparency, and the encouragement, the laughter and comradery ….it’s all so helpful and truly helps me to not set my expectations so unreasonably high and to not take myself too seriously. And this latest episode on cyclical parenting…so many things coming into focus!! Wish I’d known more about it before “the change “🤣🤣🤣 Still…I think the cycling with the moon is actually something to be mindful of as well. Thank you and know that what you ladies are doing is of great value and a huge support to us mamas❤️❤️❤️ Blessings from a new mama in mid-life

I feel like I have been friends with these girls for 10 years! This podcast has made me spew coffee out of my nose from laughter, or ugly cry in my closet. They are so genuine, relatable and I just love them! If you are a mom of littles or bigs, if you love Jesus or aren’t quite sure, they cover so many topics with such transparency that anyone can enjoy! A breath of fresh air!

I’ve never listened to a Podcast before where I laughed and cried and nodded my head in agreement so much. I’m so thankful my friend Liz shared this podcast with me. I listen to you girls on my daily walks, and while I probably look like a crazy person walking around my neighborhood cackling and saying “oh my gosh, YES” aloud in agreement, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Thank you for keeping it real and making me feel normal and not so alone in my journey as a Mom, Wife, and Woman. You girls rock and I feel like I have found three new besties. Joining your Patreon today and can’t wait to be a part of this community.

This is fun, light hearted, silly, and genuine. Every mom needs this break to collect and hang in there, as a momma of 5…I am beyond grateful for the laughter and relatable stories. God bless you ladies. Great job! You encourage us.

I think I’m late to the show because I just found this podcast maybe last month. But I now use this podcast as serious self care…sometimes I just keep driving so I can keep listening. My kids are a little older but I remember those early tender years of having babies and the difficulties, pitfalls, and joys! This is the only podcast that can make me laugh out loud several times an episode. Thank you so much!!

In response to the bad review recently I thought I’d respond in defense of the podcast and Rebecca. I literally 100% disagree with everything this person said. Yes the show has developed and changed but not negatively. If you’ve listened to what the ladies have gone through then you know why it’s changed to be how it is now. Rebecca is as genuine and authentic as it gets. I believe she’s an influencer Bc of her amazing honestly and down to earth humor, compassion and true mom relatable content. You won’t regret listening to this show any all of its stages and I believe it’s done a good job of adapting to what we need right now. Ignore any bad reviews, they are utter nonsense!

I’ve been a faithful listener for the past 5-6 years, and have always been intrigued by Emily’s faith and worldview. When Rebecky first joined the show I enjoyed her input and the chemistry between the two. I’m now a Patreon at the top tier, and look forward to doing my meal prep Mondays with y’all on in the background. Now here are some of my thoughts, I’ve gone back and fourth for several months uncertain if I should say this- please take it out of a place of love: I’ve noticed a drastic change in tone of the show over the past 1.5 years- Kate is a sweetheart but Rebecky’s attitude stinks. I’m sure she’s simply sarcastic, but it sounds very rude and demeaning. She interrupts quite often and seems to always have a negative opinion about everything- taking up most of the air time over Em and Kate. Rebecky and Kate’s worldview also drastically differs from Emily’s- our walk with the Lord is black and white, there shouldn’t be areas of grey.

This is the first and for many years the only podcast is subscribed to. It is still my favorite and I love these 3 ladies and how they converse each week. It feels like you’re just chatting/listening to friends. I love each of their perspectives on motherhood and life. They choose to share the real ness of it all even the struggles. May we all strive to struggle well! ❤️

I used to love this podcast. It was one of the first podcasts I listened to obsessively. But … The past year or two it has changed and doesn’t help me live my best life. I LOVE the addition of Kate so much! It feels like Rebecca is just not great at the weekly thing, though. She has basically worked hard to be able to call herself and Influencer and it feels like everything is just about her trying to make a buck, not genuinely recommend a product she actually uses and thinks would benefit us. She also comes across as very immature and seems to lack depth, but that doesn’t stop her from sharing opinions on politics and religion like she’s an expert. The other reviewer who had a similar take got a really immature response on IG, so I am wondering if I will get something similar. Anyway. I miss looking forward to this podcast.

Long time listener. I love this podcast, I truly feel like I’m hanging out with friends while listening. I’ve laughed and cried during most of the episodes. I appreciate the vulnerability they share. It’s the highlight of my week to listen to this podcast!

I’ve listened for about 3 years now and have loved how this show has morphed and grown in new ways over those years. At each point it’s felt like it’s been what I’ve needed to hear and paralleled some of the same issues I’ve been processing in my own life. Thank you for being a safe place I can go to laugh and be reminded that we are made for joy and community, and that there is almost nothing sweeter than women who talk to each other like sisters. I always feel relaxed and lighter after listening to your show, and I love so deeply how real and raw each one of you is about the realities of your lives. Thanks for letting people like me feel connected to you all and to a community of women doing their best in this crazy world while remembering to laugh and have fun along the way.

Y’all, this podcast is like having a coffee date with my closest friends! I’ve loved this show for years and finally became a patron…I need more MSW in my life. You ladies make an awesome team and always listen to y’all first when I open my podcast app. Thanks for serving us and helping to make that perspective shift change. Love y’all!

I absolutely love this podcast!! Anytime I’m feeling down, these ladies bring a smile to my face and a smile on my heart! You lady’s rock!!! Thank you so much for creating this podcast!! It’s truly my happy place!! ♥️♥️

ETA 😉: Here I am, months later - and have stuck with you girls because you just keep making me laugh! The latest Problem Solved episode addresses some of the things mentioned in my initial review and I was pleased to hear your mutual thoughts on loving well through one’s journey in relation to gender / identity. Thanks so much for the weekly laughs, highs & lows, and honest perspectives. I’m with you and happy to bump my 3 stars up to 5 🥰 Initial review: I’m a new listener and appreciate the format: three friends together, being honest about life, motherhood, and all that entails. But the Wrestling God episode would’ve benefitted from some editing and closer consideration before posting. To hear three white, straight women cry over their struggles with Truth (especially in relation to homosexuality) is cringe-worthy. I can relate to this conversation very much and have been there in my faith. But, more specifically, to compare different genders to pedophilia is a very dangerous move for a popular, public podcast! So insulting to those you’re serving, Emily! You mention that you’re choosing “truth” over your own feelings, but you’re not. You’re choosing it over someone else’s feelings - someone else’s LIFE. From one white, straight woman to another: You’re holding so tightly to Truth... but I’m curious to know why a white woman living in the 21st century believes her interpretation of the Bible has the monopoly on truth...

I love this podcast. I’m not religious. An atheist actually. I love their personalities and their sincerity, and even their willingness to share their struggles with their own beliefs. Always feels like there is room at the table for everyone. Here’s the “but.” This week’s “problem solved,” the response to how to love someone who is trans was “listen to this podcast and see this Reddit group about people who regret their decision and are de-transing.” Followed by “THEIR JOURNEY IS NOT OVER.” This broke my heart because it was basically telling people “they’re just confused, if you wait long enough, they’ll change their mind.” Ouch. Love people for who they are NOW, not who you hope they’ll be in the future. And if they do change their mind later - love them then too! Emily did bring it back around with acknowledging that you should call people by their chosen name, not their birth name. Maybe some topics need more research/introspection before answering. ❤️

My favorite podcast! Their dynamic reminds me so much of me and my two sisters. Thank you for making me feel like not being the picture perfect mom & wife is okay! Edited to add: BUT not the best name pronouncers… Love, LeighAnn (not LeighAnna) haha jk it’s ok!!

MSW is so fun to listen to. I have a 45 minute commute 1 way so I always listen to podcasts on my drive to and from work for my “mommy time” because let’s be real- I don’t get it any other time. This one is my FAVORITE! I feel like these ladies are so real and raw and they so openly and unapologetically share their struggles without being ashamed of not being the “perfect” mom. Sharing tips and tricks as well as their struggles helps me to realize I am not alone throughout this overwhelmingly stressful but oh so beautiful journey of parenting and I am exactly the mother the Lord created me to be for my babies!

This podcast is so much fun to listen to. Even if the topic of an episode doesn’t seem like it’s that applicable to your life at the moment, it ALWAYS IS. There are no bad episodes, always so much fun! I literally binge listen and then am so sad when I have listened to it all. Thank you, Ladies!!!!!

The ladies at MSW know just what we need to hear. A funny, light-hearted, friendly take on all the serious issues Moms face. This is the podcast for all Moms, everyone is welcome in this space. I often laugh and cry right along with the three fantastic hosts. Don’t miss an episode!

I stumbled upon this podcast and I am so thankful I did! These ladies keep it real, keep the faith, and keep the laughter coming! I have told any mom friend that will listen that they have to add it to their podcast line up!

Emily, Rebecca and Kate highlight all aspects of parenting and more in this can’t miss podcast! The hosts and expert guests offer insightful advice and information that is helpful to anyone that listens!

Ok, so obviously I don’t actually know them, but this podcast feels like hanging out with your friends. As we all know motherhood is the hardest, most amazing, scariest, beautiful, exhausting, life giving, lonely, but also tribe building thing we can be a part of. Listening to a podcast where you can not only hear you aren’t alone in the things you are feeling, but also laugh along the way… that’s the golden ticket. Rebecca, Emily, and Kate seem like they could just be in your backyard around the fire pit chatting with you about life. This podcast brings a breath of fresh air and offers multiple view points on life all while still loving one another (we know that one can be scarce these days). So grab your coffee, perhaps your car keys, a cozy chair, or even just a grocery cart and listen along. Struggle Well with not just these 3 ladies, but all the mamas struggling well from the same side of the Pod you’re on.
