Today, we're exploring what life is, and what it means to truly live. From life’s delightful moments like holding hands for the first time and enjoying a silky bath after a long day, to the more mundane yet oddly satisfying tasks like folding laundry and washing dishes, we cover it all. Here, we believe life is a tapestry woven from simple joys, human connection, passionate work, and yes, even those loads of laundry.

You’ll find me sharing my thoughts on why life is like a walk along the beach and how waking up to an incredible day starts with that first deep breath. We also dish out heartfelt, humorous musings on love, solitude, friendships, and even those little interruptions that remind us we're gloriously human. Whether you’re looking for inspiration, a moment of reflection, or a reason to smile, this channel has something for you.

So, grab a cup of tea, get cozy in your most comfortable clothes (you know, the ones that feel amazing), and dive into our videos. And hey, if you’ve got a friend who could use a little reminder of life’s simple joys, share the love.

Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and join our growing community. Because together, we make life not just bearable, but truly exceptional.

Hello Fabulous!

Jen Hardy here. Wow, what a journey it's been! Let me take you back a bit to 2018—a time my doctors believed would be my final year on this beautiful planet. They told me I'd need a ventilator to breathe, basically predicting I'd be walking around with what felt like a giant backpack. Well, guess what? Here I am, breathing and walking on my own, almost hitting 2025! If that's not a miracle, I don't know what is.

I figured it was high time I introduced myself properly to my new audience, fans, and friends. If you've been following me, you might know me from my podcast days as "Hardy Mom," where I was reaching out to fellow moms battling chronic health issues.

Hello Fabulous!

It’s Jen, back with another chat with Judge Boyd!  And did we cover a lot of ground in this chat - everything from the trials of parenting to the timeless joy of snapping Polaroid pictures!

Judge Boyd had us laughing and nodding in agreement as she shared her love for gardening, future travel dreams, and a wish for singing abilities that sadly don't extend past the shower. (I can relate, there's a reason Shower Thoughts are only spoken) 

But her love for reading and advocating for bringing back good old-fashioned kindness made love her even more.

On a more profound note, Judge Boyd’s journey through the legal labyrinth was truly inspiring. She spoke candidly about her choice to attend Saint Mary's in San Antonio (despite a tempting offer from Pepperdine) and how her faith guided every pivotal life decision. Judge Boyd Texas is exactly the perfect courtroom for her. Her reflections on representing clients against all odds and maintaining decorum in the courtroom were eye-opening. 

And she had some fabulous advice for those who need to go to court, be sure to listen and find out!

Hello Fabulous!

Jen here, and do I have a treat for you today! I just had an absolutely enlightening chat with the fabulous Julie Menanno. If you don’t already know her, she’s a relationship guru specializing in emotionally focused therapy (EFT), attachment theory, and the fine art of turning relationship chaos into secure love.

Julie broke it down for us: Most of her couples—about 90%—fall into this “anxious-avoidant” tango. One partner’s basically a golden retriever, desperate for constant affection, while the other is a turtle, retreating into their shell to avoid all that emotional messiness. Sound familiar?

Julie also tackled the big, scary jungle that is finding a good therapist. Spoiler alert: It’s like hunting for a unicorn. Emotionally focused therapy is where it’s at, but mastering it is no small feat. Luckily, Julie’s team operates as coaches and tackles issues across state lines (no magic carpet needed).
