I have been fighting the good fight with schedules and kids and house work and farm and figured that probably I am not alone in this.  When the list feels too long and the time feels too short, it's time to just focus on the next one thing.  I share a few of my tips and tricks to help me when these things mash up and I feel like I am spinning my wheels in overwhelm.  

Jenn Whitmer is one of my very favorite humans and she is also one of the wisest.  When I was thinking about what I need and what my clients have needed recently, handling hard conversations was the first thing that came to my mind.  Jenn shares some amazing tips, tricks and questions in this episode to help us navigate around the dinner table and with family members in the next few months.  I hope you love it and when you do, share, shout out and review so others can see it, too!

When thinking about fall and feeding  my family, Erika Hermsen has had a huge impact on our lives.  Her Drop 10 program, recipes, and meal plans have completely changed how we eat and how we cook at the Yoder house.  I am so honored to have her as a guest in this episode.  I hope you enjoy her as much as I do.  

I read Never Saw You Coming by Erin Hahn, mailed the book to my bestie, and reached out for a podcast interview.  This book hit me right in the heart and I knew that the conversation around it was so very important.  In this episode, Erin Hahn and I chat about how conservative Christianity shaped her and this story.  We discuss the hard parts of faith and how books give us a window into different perspectives and experiences.  I hope you love it and pick up her book ASAP.

This episode has been on my heart for quite a while and some things and conversations in the recent past have pushed it to the front and out of my mouth and into this episode.  I truly believe that people are doing the best they can.  In our current world environment, this foundation of my beliefs is sometimes the ONLY thing that's keeping me compassionate and filled with empathy.  I hope that you like this little more vulnerable episode.
