 This is a sneak peek of one of the personal episodes I share monthly over in my membership community Secret Stuff.  In this solo episode, I'm sharing some of my complicated mom thoughts during the holiday season and why I feel outvoted in my own traditions. I'm also sharing some BONUS EXTRA THINGS that I didn't put in the official Favorite Things episode here (Episode 152).  Each month I record AT LEAST one personal episode, in addition to all the other benefits of Secret Stuff: a book club, twice monthly zoom gatherings, and extra podcast episodes like this one with behind the scenes thoughts and info.  JOIN US OVER AT SECRET STUFF! The cost for Secret Stuff is $7/month or $84/year And remember, like all personal episodes on Secret Stuff, this one will self destruct in 3....2....1.... (That's why we call it Secret Stuff - you just gotta be there.)  * Laura's extra favorites: SKIMS Bandeau Bra Caraway Saute Pan Dyson Air Wrap Charlotte’s Web brand CBD Sleep Gummies Feels Brand CBD tincture   Also Mentioned: SKIMS Bodysuit Scan Pan            Hope to see you over at SECRET STUFF soon!                      

Secret Stuff Sneak Peek: Holiday Mom Victim + Extra Favorite Things

Laura Tremaine has 10 Things To Tell You. And YOU have 10 Things To Tell. This is a show about sharing your stuff. Each episode asks a question, and you can take that prompt to your journal, to your best friend, or to social media. Let's dig deeper.

Personal Journals

Society & Culture

History

Philosophy

Places & Travel

Introducing a new series of the podcast called ONE THING where I host conversations with interesting people and ask the ONE THING they would tell you.
I'm kicking the series off with my friend Amy B. Harris. Amy has been a producer, writer, and show runner on some of the most iconic shows of our lifetime. Her credits include Sex and the City, Gossip Girl, The Comeback, The Carrie Diaries, The Wilds, and more. She's also a mom raising her daughter in Hollywood, which is how we met and became friends.
My conversation with Amy is packed with wisdom and insight, along with her behind-the-scenes perspective on helping to create entertainment that shifts the culture.

Ep 216: Stop Deferring Your Life (a ONE THING conversation with Amy Harris)

Emotions like anger, fear, and anxiety are often rooted in a feeling of helplessness. 
These feelings may or may not be tied to facts that are hard to ignore or release, or they be feelings that are holding us back from walking down our best path. 
But today we're asking: What feels out of control?

Sunday Stillness: What feels out of control?

Maybe it was a weird conversation or an offhand remark or a comment on a social media post, but whatever happened, you're spinning out. This circumstance has tapped into all of your securities and now you're filled with self-doubt or anger or unworthiness.
How do you recenter yourself? I'm going to share 5 ways I've learned to quiet my mind amid chaos and guess what - I am NOT recommending journaling or meditation. I love both of those things (and they can be helpful), but I want to give you a few new tools to consider when you're having one of those days.

Ep 215: How To Center Yourself (When You're Spinning Out)

My 5 Friendship Philosophies are:

Friendship is a TO DO

Believe the Best

Just Go

Like Every Selfie

Your Spouse Is Not Your Best Friend


I explain these all in more detail in The Life Council: 10 Friends Every Woman Needs, but I also encourage the reader (and the listener) to find their own friendship philosophies. Rules to live by that will make your connections stronger and your mental load lighter. 
This Sunday, sit with these ideas and also come up with your own.

Sunday Stillness: What are your friendship philosophies?

The first story I tell in my book The Life Council: 10 Friends Every Woman Needs is called A Friendship Reckoning. In this chapter, I share about a painful conflict with a friend that almost led to the end of our deep friendship, and how we reconciled with one big, meaningful, conversation in my backyard.
I chose to keep that friend anonymous in the book, but she revealed herself in an episode my Secret Tapes podcast series and I'm airing it publicly here for the first time.
There is so much about this conversation that gets to the heart of what I was trying to convey in The Life Council. We talk about the origin of our friendship, how our friendship styles have changed over the last few years, and, of course, we finally delve into what went wrong that almost led her to ending our friendship, and how we decided to save it together. 
The Life Council: 10 Friends Every Woman Needs was released into the world one year ago this month! I'm celebrating that by sharing this beautiful conversation with my dear friend Patty.
