Coffee + Crumbs Podcast

Some podcasts feel like attending a lecture. Coffee + Crumbs feels like curling up on the couch with your closest girlfriends while the kids nap. Hosted by Ashlee Gadd and Katie Blackburn, this beloved show grew out of the Coffee + Crumbs online community, a space that has been celebrating the beautiful, messy, holy work of motherhood through essays and storytelling for years. Each episode is an invitation to slow down and reflect on the parts of motherhood that often get lost in the daily hustle. Ashlee and Katie talk openly about the moments that make you tear up at the grocery store, the guilt that sneaks in at 2 AM, and the unexpected joy of watching your child discover something new. Their conversations cover everything from memory-keeping and hospitality to foster care, friendship in the trenches of early parenthood, and finding your identity beyond the title of mom. What makes this podcast special is its gentleness. In a world of parenting hot takes and competitive mothering, Coffee + Crumbs offers a counter-narrative that says you are doing enough and you are enough. The hosts speak with a quiet confidence rooted in faith, though the show welcomes listeners of all backgrounds with open arms. Their goal is simple: they want you to leave each episode feeling safe, known, encouraged, and loved. Ideal for the busy mom craving a moment of connection during the carpool line, a stroller walk, or the kitchen cleanup after dinner. This is the podcast equivalent of a deep breath and a warm cup of coffee.
