Mama Making Podcast
The Mama Making Podcast is a space for moms figuring it out in real time - at home, at work, and everywhere in between. Hosted by Jessica Lamb, this show is here to help you feel a little less alone in the mess and magic of motherhood.
Each week brings a mix of solo reflections, expert interviews, and real stories from moms who are leaning into themselves - whether that’s in parenting, entrepreneurship, or simply surviving the day. It’s for moms in the making and moms making their way through - without a manual, but with a whole lot of heart.
Because there’s no one way to do motherhood - and you don’t have to do it alone.

Olivia | The Marketplace Mom's Guide: Decluttering, Selling, and Getting Rid of Your Stuff
Episode Description:
Ever wonder if that extra pair of baby shoes or outdated kitchen gadget sitting in your cabinet is worth anything? Spoiler alert: It is. In this episode of The Mama Making Podcast, Jessica sits down with Olivia —also known as The Marketplace Mom—to talk about the wild world of Facebook Marketplace. From turning clutter into cash to managing no-shows with grace, Olivia is here to demystify the selling process for everyday moms.
She shares how her side hustle started with a $15 TV mount and turned into a full-blown movement helping women feel empowered to sell, buy, and declutter on their own terms. They break down the myths, the must-knows, and even the “crazy stuff people will buy” moments.
Whether you’ve never listed an item or are a seasoned seller, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to lighten their load—physically and mentally—and maybe even fund that next family purchase.
