Is This Thing On?

This week I'm talking all this babysitting and sharing stories from babysitters and those that have hired babysitters. I'm reading the worst and craziest babysitting experiences and there are some of all genres.. spooky, crazy, funny... ALSO talking about things I used to do in my babysitting days, and how YOUNG people are hiring babysitters these days...

Hello my lovely people. Today's episode is dedicated to all my ladies out there who cry for the strangest, yet justified reasons when Aunt Flo pays a visit. I read stories about dumb husbands, small animals, food, movies, and many many other tear triggers, including stories of my own most recent cries. Grab a tissue if it's that time of the month... and hopefully the only crying you'll do is from laughing at this newest episode

Conspiracy Theorists and True Crime lovers get ready because this episode is right up your alley. Emma Jane is joined by her best friend Jess to talk about some of our most intriguing cases and dive into other's theories. From the Moon Landing & the Death of Princess Diana to Missing Hikers & Even a Celebrity couples plan for murder, get ready to hear our thoughts on all these topics and MORE. Plus, get an insider look at what it's like to hang out with Emma Jane... although this episode is on the longer side, it will be worth it for a long drive, day at work, or just some much needed binging. It's okay.. you can break it up if you want. We won't tell.

Today's episode is quick but sure to make you smile. Emma Jane read stories and quotes of the funniest things kids have said or done and we really owe it to the children of this earth for always making us giggle. If you never listened to the "Kids Tell All" Episode towards the beginning of our podcast, make sure you check it out because we asked kids LIVE questions and got some answers that are definitely worthy of being included in this list. Happy listening!!!! 

Today I'm sharing a piece of one of my very favorite places with you. Anyone who knows me knows that Disneyland is my happiest place. I'm obsessed. So. In this episode I'm talking all about my favorite Disney treats and meals, where I stay, how I get tickets, updates on the newest rides and more! Get ready to leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy... At least for the next hour.

For this weeks episode, I'm joined by Reggie Geertsen of the Club Candid podcast and it's safe to say this collab is my favorite to date. Reggie is a Wife, Mom, Podcast Host and Wedding Videographer and Photographer (and also my new bff). We shared our followers worst text mistakes and phone mishaps and there were some shocking ones.. We laughed, went on some tangents, and had a grrrreeeaat time. Come hang out with us!!!
Also make sure to check out the episode we did on her podcast a few weeks back.

This week Emma Jane reflects on 2021, and focuses on the future 2022 has to offer. Talking about setting words and intentions for the New Year, goals listeners accomplished last year, and the BEST decision you've ever made. This episode is short but sweet and will inspire you as we enter another year. PS.. there may be an announcement about future episodes included as well... Don't miss out! 

Unlike gingerbread houses & sugar plums, this years Christmas episode is NOT for Kids.... Too cheesy? I thought so.. Anyway. This week we're talking Christmas magic If you know what I'm saying.... Emma's little brother Ryan is a guest as we read stories of how you found out the truth about the big man.. Grab your airpods, ditch the believers, and get ready for a laugh. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! 

Today we're talking about Family Traditions and you may just want to have a notepad ready for this one because I guarantee you'll leave with some new Traditions yourself. Emma Jane was joined by one of her very best friends, Haleigh, to discuss all the Family Traditions. Haleigh is the oldest of 6 kids in her family, recently married, and about to graduate in Elementary Education from Utah State. She comes from a family full of fun and UNIQUE traditions so I knew there was no better guest to share them all with you.

Welcome back to another segment of "Turning the Mic On To" In this episode, Emma Jane chats with Whitney and Haley of the new, Approaching Normal Podcast. As Whit and Haley have both been diagnosed with OCD, Depression, and Anxiety in various forms, they decided to start a podcast that takes Mental Health out of the shame cloud it often sits in, and starts conversations about the specifics of what Mental Illness is like to various individuals that experience is. In our conversation, they each open up about their struggles and journeys to healing, what OCD is both generally and specific to them, and we even chat about the ways that religion and mental health stigma's can play a negative role, especially in the lives of returned missionaries. As one who struggles with mental health myself, this episode opened my eyes to the importance of really diving in and striving to understand yourself, and your mental illness. Definitely an episode worth listening to.

You can find Whitney and Haley on their Instagram, @approachingnormal.pod and their podcast, streaming soon.
