Welcome to Marriage, Motherhood, & Me
I’m Brandy Eckman — wife, mom of two, business owner, and lifelong believer that real life doesn’t pause when the kids grow up. It just changes shape.
Around here, we talk about what it’s like to love deeply, parent differently, work hard, and still carve out space for you — in the middle of marriage, caregiving, midlife, and all the mayhem that comes with it.
This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the middle chapters — where coffee is strong, love is steady, and perfection is optional.
So, pour yourself a cup and make yourself at home. I'm so glad you're here! You belong here — right where you are. <3

Redundancy. So many books, blogs, songs, poems, etc are written about “empowering women” and “women’s empowerment” and I just think that’s a bunch of bullshit. I wish we would quit using the phrase “empowered woman”. Change that to Powerful Woman. Or Woman with Power. empower: em-pow-er verb. to give (someone) the authority or power to…

In the last couple weeks of December, I usually start a list of the things I’d like to focus on in the coming year. Not a resolution list, per se, just things to keep in mind as I’m going about my daily life. Health is always on my mind. I am going to focus more…

I realize I’m speaking from my privileged place when I say that. For a lot of us, it was the absolute worst year in a very long time. Our country saw riots, protests, more racial injustice and unrest, bad cops murdering innocent people, a weird-ass election cycle, division like we’ve not seen in decades, income…
