It's all too much and not enough at the same time
Come listen in and be part of our conversation where we discuss the hard stuff, (the fun stuff) and the not-so-talked-about stuff. Motherhood is a tremendously rewarding and beautiful journey, and we want to share it with you.
This is a podcast for the perfectionist moms, the go-with-the-flow moms, the stay at home mom, the work from home mom, and all the moms who share the two things we have in common: we love our kids, and there’s never enough time.
ABOUT US
Co-host Monica Hernandez
I’m a first-time mom of little miss Millie. It may sound cliche but one of my passions is being a mother and wife. My husband, Victor, and I, live in Dallas, both working full-time all while taking care of our daughter.
I’m a coffee enthusiast, kind of a dork when it comes to caffeine. You will find me with a wooden toy on one hand and an iced latte in the other. I am constantly doubting myself but my motto is “Fake it till we make it!” I want every mother to know, you’re not alone. You are doing great, we are killing it! We may not know how we are making it through each and every day, but we are doing it and that is what matters.
ABOUT US
Co-host Melissa Wendt
Hi here! I’m wifey to Jonathan and mommy to Maiya and Juliette. My husband and better half is the associate pastor for our church (and most important the BEST dad), Maiya is the sweetest, most loving ball of energy and Juliette is our amazing, sassy, musical baby.
I’m a follower of Christ, a Family Nurse Practitioner, and my dream for this podcast is to have fun with my sister while sharing the motherhood load. I have lots of fears, guilts, successes and praises as a momma and every day my kids teach me more about myself. Hope you get to know me!

Episode 1
Intro
Welcome back to the Moms Without Time Podcast! In this episode, we discuss all things breastfeeding. We quickly realized how hard and how much work it was to feed our babies, so we talked about what we learned during our breastfeeding journey.
Every mom wants the best for their baby, so whether it’s breastfeeding, pumping, supplementing, or providing formula, we want you to know that we have been there! Though this episode is mostly regarding our own breastfeeding journey, we hope you find solidarity in hearing about some of our struggles and our own personal wins.

The Good, The Hard, The Amazing
Welcome back! Co-hosts Melissa and Monica return on this episode to share the good, the hard, and the amazing things about motherhood. It can be so easy to see all the hard when you’re in the thick of it. Parenting is not easy and every day there are many challenges. Reminiscing on the period of time when our girls were just newborns really gives us a new perspective. Looking back at the different experiences in this short time, helps us to grow, learn, and look forward to what’s to come. We discuss things like our kid's personalities, the changes in our marriages, things that made our time easier and so much more.
