Banter and Beyond

After a minor technical issue we present to you (better late than never) another guest episode. While Brandi was on her dream Alaskan cruise with her family, Natalie thought to invite long time listener Melissa on the podcast to start the conversation about raising and parenting young adult and adult children. We broach this chapter in our momma hearts that mark the end of one chapter and a beginning of a beautiful new relationship with our once babies. This is Part 2 of a 2 Part Episode.

Join Brandi for her most raw and vulnerable episode yet. She dives into how she came to learn about Letters from Love (thank you Elizabeth Gilbert and the We Can Do Hard Things Podcast.) and shares her unedited letter. In her attempt to explore the messages hidden within this letter, Brandi’s solo episode opens a window for us to learn more about her beautiful story.

Join Natalie and Brandi as they have a candid conversation about fashion and all the frustration and fun that come with it. How Brandi came to terms with wide legged jeans and how Natalie embraced a crop top for a week and fell in love with how she felt! No fashion expertise here, just two friends trying to find what works for them. 

Join Natalie and Brandi as they dish out the latest in their hilarious and chaotic lives! In this “Catch Up, Not Ketchup” episode, they recap the last few months of madness and what’s sizzling this summer. While Brandi’s been juggling the kids' end-of-year chaos and preparing for their epic family Alaska cruise… Natalie’s been tackling her fear of heights by painting murals, and dealing with a deer-induced car disaster—all while planning a surprise trip to Europe and battling endless weeks of illness. It’s all the drama, laughter, and real talk you love. Don’t miss it!

In this episode Brandi and Natalie dive into a topic many of you have asked for….Self Love! In recording and editing this episode we realized that this just a start for more conversations to come on body image, worthiness, self esteem and acceptance. Join us for a raw chat on a topic that deserves more time and attention in upcoming episodes.
