Thank you for visiting our website. We have just wrapped up SEASON ONE of:

MOMentum Podcast

We have already released 30 episodes of our journey. About halfway through Ariella and Theresa interviewed some amazing mompreneurs who have learned to pivot during difficult and challenging times. These women share some great tips and advice from their successes. Go back and listen to each episode and share with others to gain some wise business advice and family tips while raising children.

We have paused to take care of our own families and businesses but will be back for

SEASON TWO with updates on our journey and more amazing mompreneurs.

This will give you time to get caught up on all 30 episodes, just click above to load more episodes and listen on all major platforms...

Join two very different, busy, passionate moms on their journey towards entrepreneurial success.

Ariella Vaccarino and Theresa Ofstad met at their kid's basketball practices. They found themselves taking walks while they waited for their kids which got them to talking...

They found that they both shared a connection of having a calling to do very different yet powerful things (outside of their blessed motherhood).

After many of their walks around that high school track, they decided that other moms would benefit from hearing their \"talks\" and thus began MOMentum - a podcast documenting their own process of following their individual dreams and paths to success.

Follow Ariella and Theresa in real time as they both pursue their entrepreneurial quests while keeping up and balancing the joys and complications motherhood.
