T+T got engaged but I’m still a bigger fan of my love story than I am a fan of anyone else’s and that’s how everyone should feel. If you are idolizing or obsessing over them, you may be missing the chance to appreciate or invest in your own love story. Anyone feeling called out?

How does one sum up an episode that started with the thought.. “this could go anywhere, guess we will find out when we get there!” But I’m pretty sure there’s some stuff about being a decent human, hyper fixations, being intentional and probably some other stuff. Enjoy!

Your time, your energy, it’s all limited. You only get so much of it. As someone who is a recovering people pleaser, take it from me that you cannot do everything and be everything all the time.. That friends is a recipe for burnout and disappointment. Allow your people to hold you accountable, to check you if you’re spending your time in ways that do not honor your priorities and values. Trust me, filling your plate doesn’t leave you full, it leaves you empty.

There is so much conversation regarding ADHD and the diagnosing of it being so common in kids now.. but very few people who actually have ADHD are doing the talking. So here I am, chit chatting about what it’s like having ADD and ADHD and interacting in the neurotypical world with those things. Everyone’s experience is different so keep in mind, this is my experience and some of it may ring true or relevant and some may not for you, dear listener. And that’s ok! That’s the whole point of having, a conversation.

In less than a week I get to marry the man of my dreams and his son. So in anticipation of that, I am sharing some of my musings regarding co-parenting a kiddo whose not biologically mine with my partner, parallel parenting with his mom, and how I try to love, support and include my step son every step of the way.

We (and by we I mean I) are back for season two and I am gearing up and ready to talk about all the things. Today’s my birthday so to open this new season of the pod and season of life (whatttt) I thought I’d recap what’s been going on the last ten years and more specifically the time since the first season, and then tackle some reflections and lessons I’ve learned. Enjoy!
