Gretchen Stoup

Being there is what matters for your family

Gretchen Stoup is a powerhouse parent, seasoned professional, and the co-host of Finding Calm in the Chaos. As a devoted mom of three active boys, she’s equal parts CEO of the household and MVP of everyday life—juggling a thriving career while managing the family schedule, packing snacks, and showing up for her kids in every way that matters.

Whether she’s tossing a baseball in the backyard, adventuring on a Target run, or making sure everyone’s shoes are actually on before leaving the house, Gretchen brings humor, grace, and grit to her parenting. Her superpower? Keeping the family moving forward—on time and with heart.

On the podcast, Gretchen shares the wisdom and warmth that comes from living it all in real-time. Her mission is simple: to encourage fellow parents, offer practical calm-inspiring tools, and remind us that being there—fully and imperfectly—is the best gift we can give our kids.
