In the latest episode of The Cool Mom Code Podcast, Lizzy Mathis welcomes the inspiring Codie Elaine Oliver, a proud mom of three boys and the Co-Founder, Co-Creator, Director of Black Love, and Co-Host of The Mama’s Den Podcast. Codie shares her journey of balancing motherhood and marriage with her best friend and business partner, Tommy. The conversation dives into Codie’s advocacy for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) for her kids, the importance of them not being "the only" in school environments, and how she built an empire celebrating Black love, pride, and confidence. Codie opens up about how she and Tommy met, quickly transitioning into a romantic and business relationship that brought three kids into the mix. She talks about maintaining a strong relationship during their evolving business endeavors, the importance of setting work boundaries, and her non-negotiables for quality time with her husband. Codie also discusses the effects of busy schedules on kids and how to show up for them in meaningful ways, creating community around the things that matter most, and the sisterhood fostered through The Mama's Den Podcast.
