This week on Bless Your Heart, I’m Talking, we’re digging into what it means to be rooted in your community. From the people who show up when you need them most to the traditions that tie us together, community is more than just where you live—it’s where you belong. Join me as I share stories, reflections, and a little southern heart about why staying grounded in the place and people around you matters more than ever.

🌙 Bonus Episode: Cowboy Boots & Hippie Dreams 🌙
In this special bonus episode of Bless Your Heart, I’m Talking, I step away from the usual rhythm of the show to share something deeply personal—my poetry. These poems tell the story of my brother and me, written in a voice that drifts somewhere between cowboy grit and hippie soul. It’s about family, memory, love, and the ties that never break.

Zada kicks things off with a rant about Rick being louder than a freight train during recording (again). Then we spiral into the scandalous world of tablescaping, uncover a long-lost photo of Zada’s great-grandmother (spoiler: it’s a moment), and wrap it all up with a soapbox moment on why chasing big dreams doesn’t make you “too much”—it makes you unapologetic. Basically, it's a rollercoaster. Buckle up Buttercup this loud overbearing woman is at it again!

In this episode, I sit down with a natural-born storyteller whose roots run deep in  Texas. From dusty backroads to front porch wisdom, they share tales that are rich with history, humor, and heart. It’s a conversation about where we come from, why stories matter, and how the past shapes the people we become. We also get a good laugh over how he met my stepdad. Join me welcoming Jeremy Plumley to the show.

This week’s podcast episode "Wrinkle Me This" dives into all the weird, wild, and hilarious parts of getting older. We’re talking hot flashes, brain fog, and why my knee has a mind of it's own. Come laugh with me — because if we don’t laugh, we might cry… or pee a little.  Bless my heart my hair looks like a beginner witch and my eyes have a permanent RBF.  Settle in and laugh at my bullsh*t this week.

In this episode, I talk about two things we all avoid: saying “I’m sorry” and putting our phones down. (Both equally painful, let’s be honest.)

From awkward apologies to rage-scrolling through nonsense, we’re diving into what it means to admit when you’re wrong and protect your peace — even if it means muting your cousin, logging off, or apologizing to your dog for overreacting.

It’s a grown woman’s survival guide — one “my bad” and deleted app at a time.

 This week, I’m reading the review. You know the one — the kind that makes you laugh, squint, and then wonder if your personality is a federal offense. Apparently, I’m too Southern, too opinionated, and just a little too much. And to that I say: thank you.In this episode, I break down the review, laugh through the nonsense, and talk about why women — especially Southern, middle-aged, don’t-give-a-damn women — ruffle feathers just by being themselves. Oh, and yes… I turned that bad review into merch. Petty? Maybe. Brilliant? Absolutely. So pour a drink, turn it up, and let’s talk about it.

Ep: A Southern Goodbye
Zada tells us about Southern goodbyes—because if you haven't said bye at least five times, did you even leave? Or if you don't talk about everything or nothing was it really a goodbye? She also vents about a few things that’ve been getting on her nerves and shares highlights from a wild and wonderful cabin weekend. Porch talk, real talk, and a whole lotta laughs.
