Show Notes
In this bittersweet episode of The Warrior Parent Podcast, Marci Mitchell and Debbie DiManno share their decision to pause the podcast as they navigate changing priorities, personal challenges, and a season that calls for greater self-care. They reflect on more than 150 episodes, the remarkable people they've met along the way, and the lessons, hope, and community that have grown from three years of meaningful conversations. As they say goodbye for now, Marci and Debbie leave listeners with a message of gratitude, connection, and hope—and the reminder that sometimes stepping back is simply part of moving forward.
A Bittersweet Decision and a Moment to Pause
Hosts Marci Mitchell and Debbie DiManno come together for a deeply personal conversation about their decision to pause The Warrior Parent Podcast. After three full seasons and the beginning of their fourth, personal challenges, health concerns, and changing priorities have made it clear that it is time to step back, regroup, and practice the same meaningful self-care they have encouraged throughout the show. They reflect on the work required to produce the podcast and express their gratitude for the team, supporters, guests, and listeners who helped make the journey possible.
Three Years of Conversations, Connection and Hope
Marci and Debbie look back on more than 150 episodes, thousands of downloads, listeners across nearly 20 countries, and countless conversations with people working to make a positive difference in the world. They share how the podcast became more than a platform for their audience—it became a source of inspiration and hope for them during their own difficult seasons. While the podcast is being paused, their work is not ending, and they discuss possibilities for the future, including a book and continuing their mission through Cour Experience.
Taking Care of Yourself While Staying Hopeful
Before saying goodbye for now, Marci and Debbie return to one of the central messages that has shaped The Warrior Parent Podcast: you have to care for yourself if you want to continue showing up for others. They encourage listeners to use tools such as breathing, meditation, tapping, and nervous system regulation to stay grounded when life feels overwhelming. Marci closes the episode with a heartfelt meditation centered on self-worth, connection, gratitude, and hope, reminding listeners that this moment is not necessarily an ending—just a pause before whatever comes next.
