Dirty, Thirty, and Thriving

It’s been so long, and I’ve miss y’all so much! I’m so happy to chat it up with our little DTT tribe again. Just want to check in- see how y’all are doing and give a little update since we were together last. Don’t worry, I’m not half the mess I was last time! Thanks for your kindness and support always. Until next time DTT family!

I’m back! I’m here! I didn’t fall off the face of the earth (even though I’ve wanted to a few times over the past months)! If you decide to listen to this here episode, thanks! I probably decided to put too much out there on the table, but why the hell not? But honestly- super heavy conversation I have with myself here. Sometimes we feel like everything is falling apart, and it’s hard to keep ourselves together. That’s been my reality lately. So enjoy listening to me cry and vent and share. I made the “Dirty, Thirty and Thriving” podcast so that we can do that together. I know there will be judgements but I hope you guys are gentle and kind. So I hope you accept me for what I am today- a hot mess of vulnerability. And I hope you can give me what it’s hard to give ourselves as women most days- a whole lot of grace.

“Oh my god, I am totally buggin” because today’s the day DTT starts on its newest adventure: movie reviews! Our next few episodes will focus on 90’s and 00’s basic girl films and we start with a bang: clueless- a classic film with heart and humor. Take aways from today’s podcast: don’t speak negatively about Paul Rudd (“AS IF!”) and are these kids even in high school?! Also, did I use “stan” correctly...? Thanks for listening, and we hope you enjoy, DTT family! XOXO

Friendships are GREAT! Friendship breakups are **blows GIANT raspberry and points two thumbs down.** But they seem to be a part of adult life, so let’s talk about it people. Ann and I use our experiences on the matter to hopefully help other people going through similar struggles. Take aways from today’s episode: grieving a loss of a friendship is completely normal and ghosting people might actually be an option (THERE, I SAID IT). Hope you enjoy today’s podcast. Much love, DTT family.

Ever have those stupid little arguments with your partner that bring your differences to light? Well buckle up tribe cause JB and I are about to ARGUE. Hehehehheh. JK. It’s not so bad; all in good fun! Take aways from today’s episode: dark chocolate is FAR SUPERIOR to milk chocolate, and for some reason, JB and I have a lot to say about superheroes... hope you enjoy, DTT family!

In this week’s episode of Dirty, Thirty and Thriving... IS THE WORLD FALLING APART?! No but for real. Covid sucks. Can we just not? Erin, my wonderful cousin and the best teacher in the great country of Texas, is here to share her unique perspective as an educator during this (dumbass) global pandemic we’re in. Take aways from today’s podcast: it’s okay to do what’s best for your neighbor and our kids will really be okay- promise. Remember to love yourselves AND the people around you. XOXO, DTT family!

We’ve all had an embarrassing moment or two while dating, right? Well join us while we relive YOUR worst and most horrifying dating memories there ever were. Take aways from today’s episode: a lifetime supply of McDonald’s could potentially make you put up with too much shit, and if they truly love you, no amount of ridiculous behavior could deter them. Remember DTT family, love yourself before you give that love to someone else! And don’t forget to check out our girl Megan’s podcast, Boos and Booze! XOXO

Episode TW: sexual abuse. Using your past pain in a positive way is such a power move. Ashley Kidd and her family and friends have done just that and started a non-profit organization called “Kidd Warriors Foundation” to help protect the next generation from the dangers in our current world. Take aways from today’s episode: be the person you needed when you were younger, and remember you’re bigger and stronger than your past hurts.

The doctor is in! Dr. Trahan (Sarah) brings the knowledge in this educational podcast all about our health! Take aways from today’s episode: you could probably benefit from a therapist, and you shouldn’t be afraid to say “VAGINA.” Enjoy, DTT family!

Episode TW: miscarriage, addiction, suicide. If you’ve suffered a loss of pregnancy or love someone who has, I think you’ll find this episode empowering and helpful. Leighann is so honest and gives such good, eye opening advice. Take aways from today’s episode: we know nothing takes the pain away but we’re here to walk through it with you. Enjoy, DTT family!
