Motherhood Made Simple
This is the ultimate podcast for Christian stay-at-home moms of toddlers looking to thrive in motherhood. I’m not going to tell you motherhood should feel easy, but there are so many aspects we can simplify to find more peace and more joy in motherhood. You don’t have to feel burdened, overwhelmed and stressed out in motherhood. As a Christian mom, you don’t have to do this on your own strength. I’m Micaela, a mom of three, here to help you simplify your home, find practical tips for parenting toddlers and work on a positive motherhood mindset.

Was I pregnant? Did I have a miscarriage? Did I lose a baby at 5 weeks? These are the questions I was googling back in 2021 after my first-ever pregnancy ended at 5 weeks. I was confused, discouraged and unsure how to move forward. If you think you've experienced a chemical pregnancy or an early pregnancy loss before 6 weeks gestation (4 weeks since conception date), I pray this episode will answer your questions and bless you today!
