💌 Your passions are whispers from your soul, reminding you of who you are.

This week on Hermit Haven, we’re unpacking how doing what you love isn’t selfish — it’s actually self-love in its truest form. Whether it’s baking, painting, writing, or rediscovering something you adored as a kid, your passions deserve space in your life.

 Together, we’ll explore:

• Simple ways to weave your passions into your week
• Why prioritizing joy helps you show up brighter in every area of life
• How to release guilt + the pressure of what others might think
• The magic of seeing your passions as love letters to yourself 💖

✨ Get cozy — this episode is your reminder that what you love matters. And giving it time is one of the sweetest gifts you can give yourself.

✨ Somewhere along the way, a lot of us stopped making time for the things we once loved. Maybe it was painting, baking, dancing in your room, or collecting little treasures — passions that lit you up just because they made you happy. This week on Hermit Haven, we’re taking you by the hand and helping you find your way back to those joys.

 In this episode, we chat about:

🌸 How to recognize which passions are calling you back

🌸 Practical (and cozy!) ways to make space for them in your life again

🌸 Overcoming the fear or resistance that says you’re “too busy” or “too old”

🌸 Why reconnecting with passions is transformative for your confidence, creativity, and self-love


💫 Think of this as your permission slip to play again, bestie. Even five minutes with something you love can shift everything.

🎧 Tune in, get cozy, and let’s start bringing the magic back together.

Do you remember the thing you couldn’t get enough of as a kid — the hobby, dream, or passion that made you feel most alive? Somewhere along the way, maybe someone told you it was “childish” or “cringe,” or maybe life just got busy and you quietly let it go. But here’s the truth, bestie: the things you loved back then are still valid. They still belong to you.

In this episode, we’re curling up together for a cozy conversation about:
🌸 Why childhood passions are windows into your truest self
☁️ The sneaky shame that makes us hide what we love
🧡 How to gently reclaim joy and embrace the things that light you up

Think of this as a permission slip to stop apologizing for what makes you happy — because those little passions? They’re not silly. They’re magic. 

✨ So grab your favorite cozy drink, settle in, and let’s remind ourselves that joy doesn’t have an expiration date.
With love, Ashley & Jacqui

We get it — showing up for yourself can feel like a lot. Especially when life is pulling you in every direction and your comfort zone is right there. In this episode, we’re having a heart-to-heart about the messy middle — the space between who you are now and who you’re becoming.

We talk about:

• Why consistency can feel so hard (but why it matters)
• How to tell what the “next version” of you really looks like
• The small shifts that make a big difference
• Creating space for self-growth even when you're tired

Grab your coffee (or tea), cozy up, and let’s chat about how to honor yourself in the in-between seasons.

 ✨ You are allowed to grow slowly. You are allowed to start again. You’re doing better than you think.

Ever feel like you’re stuck in between? Like the version of you that once made sense doesn’t quite fit anymore - but the next version of you hasn’t fully arrived yet?

In this episode, we’re getting honest about the in-between seasons. The ones that feel quiet, uncertain, and sometimes a little uncomfortable. We talk about how it feels to outgrow old identities, the grief that can come with letting go, and how to gently create space for the woman you're becoming.

 We’re sharing personal stories, mindset shifts, and the quiet truths that have been helping us grow - even when it’s messy. ✨ In this episode:

• What it looks like to shed old versions of yourself
• Letting go of guilt when you're changing
• How to make space for something new
• The power of patience in slow seasons
• Trusting who you’re becoming (even before she arrives)

If you're craving a cozy, heart-centered chat that reminds you you’re not alone in your growth, this one’s for you. 💛 —

Have you ever caught yourself wanting just a little more—more rest, more space, more alignment—and instantly felt guilty for it?

Same. And this episode is for you.

Today, we’re peeling back the layers of that guilt and diving into why so many women (especially moms) have internalized the idea that wanting more means being ungrateful. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t.

 We talk about how gratitude and desire can exist side by side—how you can love your life deeply and still feel the pull to grow, dream, or evolve. This isn’t about hustle or proving yourself. It’s about honoring the quiet parts of you that crave something just for you.

We’re sharing real-life examples, journaling prompts, and a gentle invitation to name what you want—without shame. If you’ve ever dimmed your desires to make others more comfortable, we hope this episode reminds you that your dreams are valid, and you don’t need to apologize for them.

✨ Grab your cozy drink, take a deep breath, and settle in. You are allowed to want more.

💬 Reflection Prompt: “Where have I quieted a dream out of guilt?”
