Mom, You're Amazing! A Conversation with Sandy Cooper About Motherhood and Balance

Motherhood can be messy, exhausting, wonderful, and completely overwhelming—and sometimes you just need someone to remind you that you're doing a good job.

In this episode of the Slow Living Podcast, Stephanie O'Dea sits down with her longtime online friend Sandy Cooper, creator of the Scoop on Balance website and the Balanced MomCast.

Stephanie and Sandy met online roughly 15 years ago and immediately hit it off. In this conversation, they talk about motherhood, balance, and the realities of trying to create a life that works while taking care of everyone else.

Sandy is also the author of Mom, You're Amazing!: And Other Things I Want to Tell You, a collection of writing and essays created especially for moms. Stephanie shares why she thinks it makes a wonderful gift for yourself—or for another mom in your life.

In this episode, you'll hear:

A conversation between Stephanie O'Dea and Sandy Cooper
Sandy's perspective on motherhood and finding balance
How two longtime online friends connected and stayed connected
Encouragement for moms who are doing their best to hold everything together
Why sometimes the reminder you need most is simply: Mom, you're amazing.

And a small podcast-era confession: Stephanie's microphone audio dips in and out during parts of this recording. The conversation is worth sticking around for anyway.
