Just The Little Things

1h 26m · Momnesia · 06 Jan 11:06

Sarah and Julie don’t just host and produce podcasts; they eat, sleep, and drink PODCASTS! And, in this week’s Catch Up, we share some of our newest podcast obsessions with the Momnesia community. Whether you are a true crime kind of gal or a fiction-loving mama, we’ve got some great suggestions to start off your New Year. 

Today’s guest on the pod is Rev. Shannon New Spangler. Shannon is a passionate and empathetic preacher and teacher who loves to read, travel, play video games, and hang out with her family. She enjoys Mountain Dew, Target, fun earrings, and yoga. Shannon married her best friend, Brett, in 2005. They enjoy people-watching and visiting new places. She is a momma to two sons, Judah (5) and Isaiah (2). Shannon is passionate about following Jesus, helping people to feel loved, social justice, and unity. 

In this episode, Shannon shares candidly about her experience with postpartum depression. This all consuming darkness made her feel like she was failing in all areas of life, including in her role as mom, spouse and pastor. Anger and shame were common companions, and there are lapses in her memory during this two-year time period. At the urging of her husband, Shannon got the medical attention she needed and was able to move out of the darkness and into a healthy place. She offers a message of hope and encourages others who may be in that same dark place to be bold in asking for help and take comfort in knowing that you are not alone.

It's Like Someone Cleaned A Window

Today’s episode wraps up season two of Momnesia. We heard from fourteen amazing women, each one giving us a glimpse into their motherhood journey with vulnerability and authenticity. This season was marked with stories of postpartum depression, loss, and grief, but also new life, healing, and hope. We hope you enjoyed listening as much as we enjoyed capturing these stories. 

And what better way to end season two than with the queen of podcasting herself, Lindsay Tjepkema.  Lindsay is the CEO and co-founder of Casted, the first and only marketing platform built around branded podcasts. With more than 15 years of experience in B2B marketing, including running her own consulting agency, she’s a dynamic leader who’s had tremendous success building and growing marketing teams on a local and global level. After launching a branded podcast for a global marketing company, Lindsay realized her passion for authentic conversations. This led her to founding Casted to help marketers unlock the full potential of their content by harnessing the power of podcasting. The company has since gained rapid traction among brands that wish to create greater connection with their audiences through authentic conversation. 

Lindsay is also the mother of three boys, including twins. She and her husband are both from Michigan, but now embrace the chaos from their home in Fortville, IN. Learn more at casted.us and engage with Lindsay on Twitter @CastedLindsay
