So you want to get a puppy? In episode 33 of Fun on Weekdays, I share my recent insight after 3 weeks of ~motherhood~. I took to IG stories to ask my dog lover followers to share how having a dog has changed their life and how their idea of Fun on Weekdays has evolved. Expenses, priorities, routine, social life, relationships, I share the struggles of raising a puppy and the realities of caring for a living breathing stuffed animal. Apologies in advance for Quincy’s background noise, he’s just a pupper!!!

Dogs on Weekdays | Ep. 33

Fun on Weekdays is a podcast about life with women who live theirs to the fullest.

Expect conversations about friendships, dating, careers, health, beauty, pop culture, and just about everything that's fun about girlhood.&nbsp;

Leisure

Let’s take a journey down my career history from my first job at 15, to landing my dream internship, saving money in college, and what brought me to my present life with social media. I share reasoning as to why I joined Waterboy as their new social media manager & career advice for anyone trying to figure out what they want to do!

Today’s episode is about my more recent journey of discovering my faith! As someone who didn’t grow up very religious, I never felt a true connection until I prayed for the first time in a moment of uncertainty and sadness last September. I share a few instances where “coincidences” felt less like chance and more like someone or something intentionally placed in my life. I also share my experience going to church for the first time as an adult & how friendships have helped lead me closer to God. :)

Discovering my faith

Join me & my mom for a fun episode chatting about her marriage with my dad, her many jobs throughout the years, and our family! We reminisce childhood memories, talk about Susie HomeMakers & how her background in interior design influenced her crafty DIY-spirit. My "mommy" (don't judge me lol) was a stay at home mom while raising 3 daughters and decided to go back to school to be a teacher once we were teenagers. She shares the difficulties of being a teacher during covid and how mentally draining education can be + her advice for any young teachers. This is my new favorite episode, so special!! <3

Tiktok, boyfriends, friends & ADHD with Taryn Lamb

It’s time to talk about making friends as adults, but more importantly how hard it is to keep them! I’ll share stories of how my personal friendships have evolved over time through life changes such as engagements, weddings, moving, and pregnancy and how I’ve been able to maintain friendships (while cutting some off along the way).
