Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today I’m catching you up in a solo episode that’s part life update, part travel tips, and part parenting reflections.

We’re talking about the lessons I’ve learned lately—both big and small—and I think you’ll find plenty to relate to.

Here’s what we chat about:

• The 700% growth of the podcast this year and what’s been working behind the scenes

• How I budget and plan for vacations (including my favorite credit card points hacks!)

• Raising daughters with a focus on positive body image and why certain conversations don’t belong at the dinner table

• How creating a nag-free dinner environment has helped our family connect more

• Why I believe “balance” is a myth (and what I focus on instead)

• Tips for traveling with kids while keeping stress low and expectations realistic

• What our summer in Spain taught me about slowing down and savoring life

• The big “someday” dreams my family is talking about: Spain, Germany, or maybe even homesteading

This is a cozy, chatty episode full of stories, reflections, and practical takeaways for creating more connection, joy, and ease in your family life.

Take a listen and tell me which part resonated most with you!

If any of my fellow health professional friends are looking for another way to help their clients, I highly recommend IHP. You can also use this information to heal yourself and then go one to heal others, which I think is a beautiful mission. You can absolutely join if you don’t currently work in the health or fitness industry; many IHPs don’t begin on this path. They’re friends who are passionate to learn more about health and wellness, and want to share this information with those they love. You can do this as a passion, or start an entirely new career.

You can use my referral link here and the code FITNESSISTA for up to $250 off the Integrative Health Practitioner program. I highly recommend it!
