From her breakout anthem “Black Like Me” to becoming the first Black woman to host the Academy of Country Music Awards and delivering a stunning National Anthem performance at the Super Bowl, Mickey has built a career full of historic moments. But in this conversation, we are talking about burnout. She brings us behind the headlines—and into real life.

This conversation is for the country music fans, the Black women holding it down in spaces that weren’t built for us, and the mamas trying to do everything—and still find time for themselves.

The Mamas and Mickey get into:

• What it really took to break into (and stay in) country music

• The emotional weight of speaking out about racism while pregnant

• The terrifying moment she almost lost her son—and how it changed everything

• Redefining success, ambition, and what a “home run” looks like now

• Burnout, boundaries, and learning to choose yourself too

As always, it’s giving sisterhood, honesty, laughter, and those “whew, I needed this” moments. Because sometimes the biggest shift isn’t in your career—it’s in your heart.

Because not everything you see online tells the full story—and sometimes, neither does love alone.

In this episode, the comedian, actress, podcaster, and mama of four boys pulls up to the Den and gives us the real on raising kind young men, balancing a full career with motherhood, and why parenting with intention matters.

From the story of how she literally trained her son for his first homecoming date (PowerPoint included) to the sweet way she sings to him before school every morning, Angel shows that raising confident, respectful kids doesn’t happen by accident — it’s love, consistency, and a little strategy.

We also talk about:

  • Raising boys with manners and emotional intelligence
  • When older siblings become the “third parent”
  • Building a career that actually works with motherhood
  • Protecting your kids while still sharing your life online
  • Why Angel says she was a terrible girlfriend but a great wife

And of course… we laugh a LOT along the way.

If you’ve ever wondered how some moms raise kids who are kind, thoughtful, and grounded — this conversation is for you.

This week in the Den, we sit down with Donna Jordan — lifelong visual artist, educator, proud grandmother, mother of three — and yes, the mother of Michael B. Jordan.

But this conversation? It’s about her.

Donna shares what it really looked like to raise three creative children while nurturing her own artistry — creating art between caregiving and callbacks working in hand-painted silk and design to help support her family, and making sure her children saw her creating even when life was full.

She opens up about being diagnosed with lupus in 1997, navigating fear and uncertainty, and “faking it” through pain so her children wouldn’t carry the weight of her illness. She talks about what it means to mother through invisible disease, to show up when your body doesn’t want to, and how watching her push through shaped her children’s empathy and work ethic.

And now? We see the fruit.

Her children don’t just succeed — they show up. They place her art on sets. They manage her business. They honor her publicly. They protect the woman she is and the legacy she built quietly for decades.

This episode is about reciprocity.

About raising children who return the love.

About taking your “$10” for yourself.

About reclaiming your time — at any age.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your sacrifices matter… this one will sit with you.

She talks about what it means to mother through invisible disease, to show up when your body doesn’t want to, and how watching her push through shaped her children’s empathy and work ethic. And now? We see the fruit. Her children don’t just succeed — they show up. They place her art on sets. They manage her business. They protect the woman she is and the legacy she built quietly for decades. This episode is about reciprocity. About raising children who return the love. About taking your “$10” for yourself. About reclaiming your time — at any age. If you’ve ever wondered whether your sacrifices matter… this one will sit with you.

Apryl gets real about doing the work to release old relationship hurt and issues with her father so she can show up lighter, freer, and fully present for herself and her kids. We talk motherhood hustle, protecting your peace, dating as a single mom, what still scares her, and what she’s truly looking for in this next chapter.

And honestly? Her energy surprised us in the best way — fun, carefree, thoughtful, and grounded in family first. It turned into one of those conversations where you laugh, reflect, and leave feeling a little softer about your own journey.

Healing, honesty, and good mama energy all around.

After a seven-year relationship ended in her 30s, Kellee made the powerful decision to freeze her eggs — a choice that would shape her future in ways she never expected. Thirteen years later, through what she describes as a divine nudge delivered through her mother, she embraced motherhood on her own terms - at 50 years old - and is now navigating life as a newborn mom.

We talk about heartbreak, hope, egg freezing as an option every woman deserves to understand, and the beauty of building a family in a way that feels right for you.

It’s vulnerable, inspiring, faith-filled, and full of the real talk you expect from The Mama’s Den.

Using themes from the movie, the Mamas ask each other powerful questions about legacy, pressure, confidence, setbacks, and what it really means to keep going — not just for our kids, but for ourselves.

And because we hadn’t been in the same room together in months, this episode turns into something even more special: a chance to truly catch up, laugh, get honest, and go deep about the seasons we’ve been living through as women, moms, and friends.

It’s heartfelt, it’s fun, and it’s a reminder that sometimes the best conversations happen when you give yourself space to reflect — and the people who know you best are right there beside you.

Smith This week on The Mama’s Den, we’re joined by the radiant Simone I. Smith — jewelry designer, mother of four, grandmother of four, devoted wife to LL Cool J, and a true embodiment of sisterhood.

Simone is the definition of a girl’s girl: a woman whose brand and spirit are rooted in community, friendship, and showing up for other women. From her signature hoop designs under Simone I. Smith Jewelry to the wisdom she carries as a cancer survivor, Simone’s story is one of resilience, grace, and deep faith.

In this conversation, we talk about God’s timing, trusting the seasons of motherhood, and learning to lean into the kind of mom you truly are — not the one you think you’re supposed to be. Simone shares what it means to build a life grounded in love, purpose, and sisterhood, and why every chapter unfolds exactly when it’s meant to.

This episode is a reminder that motherhood isn’t one-size-fits-all… and that sometimes, the greatest strength comes from embracing your own journey — right on time.

With humor, honesty, and zero fluff, Katryce opens up about being a mom of two by two different fathers, what she learned from two failed marriages, and why she’s still choosing love as she steps into 2026 engaged and embracing a well-deserved soft life.

She also shares the very real—but often heavy—experience of parenting a child on the autism spectrum, explaining how taking a hands-on, informed approach helped her youngest son make meaningful progress. This conversation is filled with laughs, lessons, and reminders that community matters in motherhood. It’s proof that joy and resilience can exist right alongside the hard stuff.

Bradford In the first episode of the year, The Mama’s Den reflects on the post-holiday pause and the intention we’re bringing into a new season. We’re also joined by Corey J. Bradford, star of Hercules aboard the Disney Destiny Cruise, whose story deeply moved us.

Corey shares what it means to follow his passion, the powerful support of his mother, and embracing being both soft and strong as a Black man. His journey sparks an honest conversation about how we support our children’s dreams — even when they aren’t experts yet — and how growth often comes from trying anyway.

Inspired, the hosts each commit to a bold personal dream for 2026. This episode is about resetting, dreaming out loud, and stepping into the new year with intention.

Fast-forward to today, and those two babies are now 4 years old, three of them are 7, three are 9, and one is 16 — and the emotional weight of that growth is hitting us in real time.

This week, we open up about what it feels like to watch our children grow up right before our eyes. From the excitement (and fear) of driver’s licenses to overnight trips and realizing that some of our kids are no longer “little,” we talk honestly about the joy, nerves, pride, and anxiety that come with each new milestone.

We reflect on how motherhood evolves as our kids become more independent — and how their growth forces us to confront our own: learning to let go, redefining our roles, and holding space for nostalgia while celebrating who our children are becoming. This conversation is for every parent navigating the bittersweet reality of raising kids who don’t stay kids forever.

Whether your child is a toddler, a tween, or on the brink of adulthood, this episode will make you feel seen — and remind you that you’re not alone in this season.

Together, we dive into how these two turned life’s curveballs into purpose and profit. After being laid off on maternity leave 2022, Mel built a thriving social media platform called "I'm Not A Lawyer, But" while Melissa stood beside her—both in sisterhood and entrepreneurship—as they launched their hit podcast, Gin & Juice. 

At a time when so many are navigating job loss and reinvention, this conversation is a reminder that sometimes the end of one chapter is the spark for a new beginning. Tune in for real talk, laughter, and the kind of inspiration every mama (and dreamer) needs in 2025.

She basically breaks down "A Day of a Childless Woman" in a hilarious way, but had the milquetoast men of Fox News foaming at the mouth. Even though it's none of their business, it does have the ladies wondering "Is it okay for women to NOT want children?" Meaning, do we respect women who make the decision to not start a family enough? Moreover, what's the decision like to decide to not want anymore children once you've had some? We're deep diving into many facets of motherhood today, and one thing remains clear, there is no wrong answer. (Except from those men on Fox News.

]]> Happy Mama Holidays! Codie Elaine Oliver, Ashley Chea, Felicia La Tour 00:37:04 Tis the season for all the things: events, gifts🎁, holiday parties, colds (we miss you Melanie!), and trying to stay on top of everything that still needs to get done. Our Mamas recap Felicia's amazing Merry and Mindful event, and why we have a tendency to sell ourselves short even though we have no reason to do so. Plus, Felicia, Codie and Ashley share their current Christmas traditions. Apparently we're all missing out on Elf on the Shelf, 🎄fake trees are better than real trees🎄, and 3 gifts is what we should be maxing out on for our kids.

We just know that we're out here trying to break those generational traumatic bonds that we had to deal with growing up. We know a lot of y'all have been asking us about gentle parenting and where to start so we brought in our gentle parenting expert Charisse Sims!

The Mamas and Charisse get into what exactly gentle parenting is, how we can set boundaries with our children, and how we ALL struggle with trying to do better than our parents did it.
