Let's Be Real: Mama JourneysAuthor: Nikki Brooker
Motherhood is hard. We don't allow moms to be real about their feelings, frustrations and needs. You can read about child psychology and human development but the REAL stuff comes when you live it. The mamas you will hear from in this podcast are real. They have struggled, had their share of hard times but also amazing mama moments. These interviews are meant to inspire, educate and entertain while giving you the opportunity to hear things that will make you think, "I get it."

Let's Be Real - Mama Journeys - Episode 217 W/Katie Trexler
Episode 217
Monday, 5 October, 2026
Can you love being a mom with your whole heart and still need something more? In this episode of Let's Be Real Mama Journeys, Nikki sits down with former Denver news anchor, public relations professional, author, and mom Katie Trexler for a raw conversation about motherhood, career, identity, and the choices women make along the way. Katie shares what it was like to walk away from a career she loved for her family, only to realize years later that something inside her still felt unfulfilled. As she puts it, her children filled her heart, but her soul needed more. Together, Nikki and Katie talk about mom guilt, career sacrifices, financial independence, relationships, the pressure to be everything to everyone, and the complicated truth that loving motherhood does not mean motherhood has to fulfill every part of who you are. Katie also opens up about her memoir, What Do I Tell My Daughter?, and why she chose to tell the truth about the decisions she made as a woman, wife, professional, and mother, including the consequences she never saw coming. This is the kind of conversation so many moms have quietly in their own heads but are afraid to say out loud. You can love your children fiercely and still want a career. You can be grateful and still feel like something is missing. You can be an incredible mom and still want something that is yours. Maybe we need to stop asking moms to choose between the two.
