It's FFA season at our house and with all of our driving around and laser focus on FFA success, I have gathered a small group of friends to explain what FFA is and why it is so important to all of us.  

At our house, we are approaching one of the busiest and most exciting times of the year.  But with that, leveling up our communication and our planning is key to survival.  In this episode, I share my 5 top tips for survival and happiness as we enter this new season of the year.  

As my friend and I adventured in Magic Kingdom and Epcot, we had conversations that I thought reflected pretty well into lessons we can apply to life in general.  In this episode, you get my thoughts and reflections on Disney World and life.  

 I have been fighting with podcast ideas for several weeks and suddenly had this revelation that I am making my creative work life harder than it needs to be.  Today, I talk about the choices that I am making and the importance of remembering that we have choices in all things.  

It's been a while since I shared the things that I am loving and I just needed to put some happy into the world.  All of my faves that can be linked are below!

4.  Walking while on the phone

5.  Microwave Heating Pad

6.  Nice Pajamas

As we turn to spring and for me, my birthday, I am leaning into celebrating all of the good instead of feeling stuck in the wintering stage of life.  As I have been working on this myself,  I thought I would share my tips, tricks, and tools for celebrating small things and how it's helping me feel and do better every day.

A mentor reminded me if we only have good times, we just stand still.  We don't move forward or get better.  But when we are in those hard times, it seems like we just can't do it.  In this episode, I share some of my tips and tricks for moving forward through hard times successfully.  (or at least without total failure)

Ashley Schumacher writes YA books that are honest and real and make your heart feel all the things.  When I read her debut book last winter, I knew she was going to be on my must buy list forever.  I am so honored to bring Ashley to you in this new episode.  We talk writing and books and how personal stories can be.  I hope you enjoy.  

Making friends as an adult is not easy.  We have so many cool people that cross our paths, but cultivating actual relationships requires a vulnerability that can be challenging.  In this episode, I share my 10 top tricks for making connecting with others easier.  I hope you enjoy! 

As I have adventured over the past couple of weeks, its put community and the people we spend time with in the front of my brain.  How do we find community?  When we were younger, it was different than finding community and friend groups as an adult.  In this episode, I share some thoughts and tips on finding your communities.
