If you can’t tell by the title, Episode 25 of Fun on Weekdays is all about girlbossing a little too close to the sun. From being confident in your career, understanding your value & worth, knowing when to quit your job (and how), and taking risks in your career to pursue your passions. Christen shares her experience as a Latina woman in tech, working in the big leagues - Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok, to her current role as the founder of her start-up, Clara for Creators; bringing awareness to pay transparency. Basically… Christen is my role model when it comes to going after what you want. If you feel stuck or uninspired in your career, you won’t after listening to this episode!

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). 

Keeping Friends Is Harder Than Making Them
