Houston Moms on the Move is a video/podcast series by Houston Moms, celebrating the stories of extraordinary Houston moms who inspire, encourage, and challenge us. Each episode features a high-profile mom from the community who balances the demands of work, family, and motherhood with grace and determination.
Lauren Perkins’ story begins in a place many women know well: the quiet uncertainty of trying to grow a family. But what followed was anything but ordinary. In this episode of MoM, Lauren shares with Meagan about the journey that led to the birth of her sextuplets and what life has looked like in the years since.
Recorded for Multiple Birth Awareness Month, this conversation takes listeners back to the early days of Lauren’s pregnancy, the shock of hearing “six” in the exam room and the months that followed in the NICU. She opens up about the systems, support and surrender it took to bring six babies home and the village of people who showed up in ways she never could have anticipated.
Now, nearly 14 years later, Lauren reflects on raising six children, including navigating medical complexities, building a new community after a major move and rediscovering herself outside of motherhood through fitness and work. Her perspective is both grounded and hard-earned.
This conversation is a reminder that even the most overwhelming seasons can be lived one step at a time … and that sometimes the strength you need is something you don’t realize you have until you’re already in the middle of it.
