As many folks are staying home a lot more these days, I wanted to do an episode on the importance of creating a space you love. I sit down with DIY Queen, Jena Roach and chat about how home projects can spark your inner creative. It wasn't until COVID hit that i realized just how much my home environment impacted how I felt about my day or my general mood. Just tweaking a few things can really make you feel better about your space. This episode isn't about the perfect design for your home or design principles, it's about taking risks and finding what works for YOU. Jena is the perfect person to inspire you to throw away any inhibitions you have about tackling a DIY project and just going for it. Take the time to test things out, to design, play and find what speaks to you and makes YOUR heart sing. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

After an insane year, it just felt right to stop and think about all the lessons I have learned from 2020. I wanted to look around and count my blessings and remember that everything happens for a reason.  I took control of my health this year, I connected with friends and family on a deeper level, I started this podcast and I reprioritized the things that are important to me and my life. What blessings have you seen this year? What have you learned? We can't control what happens in life, but we can always control how we respond to it. Happy New Year my friends, I hope that 2021 brings you closer to your dreams. Stay safe and healthy! Much love, Estelle Mae

You've heard of goals and goal setting but how do you learn how to reach those goals? Do you break them down into yearly goals? Monthly goals? How do you know how to motivate yourself? I sit down with Lupe Prado, a business and life coach who walks us through tools and the deeper meaning behind setting goals. She shares that a lot of the time it isn't the goal itself that we're after, and more so the person we become when we achieve that goal. If you're looking to create some goals for yourself and need structure and tips, this episode is for you!

Do you feel overwhelmed by your social media feed? Do you hate seeing political posts or feel 'less than' every time you see an influencer? I sit down with my old co-worker and good friend, Raegan Loftis and we chat about curating a positive social media experience. Having both worked in the social media marketing field - we are on social media 8+ hours a day. We have seen the good, the bad and want social media to be FUN again for you.  We chat about "Cancel Culture", the struggles that this generation faces from growing up online and how we can make social media SOCIAL again. If you've ever said anything or done anything online that you're not proud of, take full responsibility, make whatever it is you've done right ..but then move on. This podcast is about personal GROWTH, so let's do that together!

This episode is a quick rundown of FOUR tried and true ways that have helped me or my husband sleep over the last few years. If you're like us, every now and then when stress creeps up and we can experience anxiety - our sleep is the first thing to fall apart. Lack of sleep can contribute to weight gain, loss in libido, heightened irritability (just ask my husband!) and so much more. We have tried a lot of things over the years and these are the only four that almost always work for us. Hope these help and please share if you have other ways that have helped you as well. :)
