Where have I been the last 4 months?? What has been going on? Well, that's going to take a while to explain so grab your fav beverage or settle in for a study session, or a load of laundry as we dive deep into the last 4 weeks and I share every last detail on this hour-long episode. Because if were honest no one really likes to wait for a part 2.  I do want to say I want to include a trigger warning for this episode as we cover several topics involving food, and pain, and briefly touch on the subject of assault triggers for those of our community who would like to be prepared; I wanted to include that Trigger Warning.  I am so excited for this season and all the lessons to share as we navigate this brand new year. 

Hi Babes!

Well, we are officially 2/2 and by hindquarters are on the mend. In this episode, we dive into the idea of building trust with our tiny humans or humans in general. Because what can start as a small crack in the windshield can develop into so much more if we don't create the communication dock to return to. So join me as we chat all things Christmas decor, hemorrhoid journeys, Trader Joes Pineapple juice, and more! And as always thanks for tuning in friend!

Hi Babe! 

In this episode, we jump back in after several months away to kick things off with the holiday season. We chat all things barefoot dreams, hickory farms, and remembering to pause ourselves during the time of year that can bring joy and also pain. So come grab a cup of coffee, fold some laundry, or rock a little one to sleep and spend some time with me bestie. 

Hey Happy Humans! Were Back for another episode where we dive into this idea surrounding the "finish your plate" mentality and the "You better apologize now" mindset and how we inadvertently teach our tiny humans to not learn the skills they need to listen to their intuition and learn the skill of empathy. Come along for another rabbit trail adventure with me, myself, and I as we dive into some chit-chat and sleepy-time tea. 

It's been a minute, but we're back! I have been taking the week of socials so we are going to jump back in as y'all have been so kind sharing in my DM's and comments you've been waiting. This episode is a restart and a possible reset- she doesn't have a total point but I hope it has something for you. 

TW: In this episode, I broadly touch on sensitive subjects so I wanted to give you a heads up. So many of you have requested a dating episode speaking specifically to my dating life and experience and as always I wanted to be honest with you. 

In this episode, I share how I unknowingly was guided by trauma when it came to dating and how now literally decades later I can see how that directed the relationships I was in before meeting Blake who was the complete opposite THANK GOD! I honestly was so unsure with this episode but eventually ended up deciding to post it. I hope that it encourages you in any way and if you feel it is meant for someone please feel free to share. Also, I have included several hotlines that I hope help if needed. As always; I love you, Happy Humans. 

Substance Abuse Hotline- 1-800-662-4357

National Suicide Prevention Hotline- 1-800-273-8255

In Episode 30 we dive into the idea of Achievement culture and the toxicity it creates in the cycle of life. It starts from the womb and follows us to the tomb whether it's in early developmental skills like walking, talking, or school even as young as reading, and follows us to college, jobs, careers, etc. The idea is that we have to always be doing more, being more, and attaining more. We talk about how this hinders us not only as parents but as individuals as well. Come join us for the whole episode and also hear all about Trader Joe's new pineapple juice discovery! As always I'm happy you're here and thank you for listening. 

Did you ever grow up thinking that because your parents were adults they knew everything and the exact reason they did the things they did? That every decision they made they were doing it because they were certain and had knowledge only an adult or parent would and at some point we would reach an age and magically that knowledge would arrive for us? But as time went on and you graduated H.S., went to college, tried to find a job, figure out a career, or even got married and had kids you realized you still felt completely unsure of if everythinG you were doing you were right; like how did your parents know because if you were honest you still felt like a clueless kid? 

In this episode, we touch on the idea that the only thing we can really be certain of especially in the last 2 years is that nothing is certain and that with so many things uncertainty is the only thing we are certain of. We touch on the fact that sometimes being uncertain can put us in a place of being on the defense and what we can do to help ourselves when that happens and a fun question to ask provided once again by Blake and I's old pre-marital counselor. Regardless it will hopefully be a good time that encourages you and reminds you that I am so grateful you're here. 

Can't wait for it!

AHH! You'll how happy am I to be back and kicking off a whole new year with you with new episodes dropping every Friday; honestly, why didn't we do this already?! I love that we get to kick off the weekend together. I brought my McDonalds coke to this episode so grab your favorite drink while we catch up. We're talking all the things from Therapy updates, Inner Child things, and some fun tips from our Marriage Therapist Karen we saw before Blake and I got married. Honestly; I want to get Blake on an episode so stay tuned for all that! I can't wait to spend time with you! 

It's been a hot minute! In this episode, I take some time to update you on what I have been up to and where I've been. We also talk a bit about therapy and the things I didn't know and am learning.
