Kayla is the host of Moms Brain Is A Coffee Stain, a parenting podcast for moms navigating the messy, funny, and sometimes overwhelming reality of raising teens. She brings honest, judgment-free conversations to the table about parenting teens, teen mental health, digital parenting, family communication, education, mom burnout, and everyday motherhood.

With a background in healthcare and finance—and real-life experience navigating IEPs, college applications, trade programs, and different paths into adulthood—Kayla believes there is no single “right” way to raise successful kids. Her approach is rooted in practical conversations, lived experience, and helping parents raise independent, kind, capable young adults.

Through conversations with experts, parents, and guests, Kayla helps create a space where families can learn, laugh, ask hard questions, and feel a little less alone—coffee stains and all.

Crystal is the co-host of Moms Brain Is A Coffee Stain, bringing a grounded, thoughtful perspective to honest conversations about parenting teens, family communication, education, mental load, and the everyday challenges of motherhood.

As a mom who values open communication and practical solutions, Crystal understands that raising kids doesn’t come with a manual. She brings real-life experience, humor, and a different perspective to conversations about teen years, changing family dynamics, parenting decisions, and helping kids grow into independent young adults.

Alongside Kayla, Crystal creates a space where parents can ask difficult questions, hear different perspectives, laugh at the chaos, and feel less alone while navigating modern parenthood.
