March 04, 2022 064: Think Like a Monk by Jay Shetty
In this episode we are sharing our thoughts on Think Like a Monk by Jay Shetty. We have split this book into two episodes- 1) our biggest/favorite takeaways and 2) an intro to meditation. Jay takes the lessons he learned in monk training and incorporates them into finding purpose and meaning in every day life. This book feels really life changing so we hope you love it as much as we do!

February 18, 2022 062: Toddler Mom Hacks
Submission Episode! We recorded this episode a little over a month ago and after listening to it over again (before releasing this week) I was reminded how many great tips you had! Being a mom of babies and toddlers can be a very physically demanding phase of life and all these tips have really come in handy the last few weeks. I feel like this episode perfectly sums up this community of moms- we are in this together and helping one another to more fully enjoy motherhood. Thank you for the submissions!

From time-tested to potentially unorthodox- we are grateful for the submissions and loved talking over them! Wishing you a lovely valentines day.

February 04, 2022 060: Q+A with Interior Designer Savanna Gallacher
Another two-time guest on this weeks episode! We brought back Savanna to give us design tips for the new year. Somewhat ironically, all of her tips were about creating more timeless designs and avoiding expensive short-term trends. If you feel like you’re in a design rut or are looking to upgrade your home in a more personal way then this episode is for you!

January 28, 2022 059: Prioritizing your life! Essentialism by Greg McKeown
Do you ever feel like you have so many priorities that the most important ones start to fall through the cracks? The message of reflection, slowing down, and investing in the vital few things in your life seems especially important in our “time starved age”. Greg McKeown walks us through the application of extreme prioritization- in both a career, and personal setting- in his book, Essentialism. In this episode we talk about our takeaways from Greg’s book and how we can apply these principles as mothers.

January 21, 2022 058: Getting Organized! with Rachel Bright
We couldn’t be happier to have Rachel join us for a second episode! She had such a popular episode last year and we had so many questions about her topic that we knew we needed to have her back on to share her expertise on organizing. The new year brings with it the bug to get organized but it can be so hard to know where to start! We asked Rachel for her best tips and steps to organization. This episode gave us the motivation to get started and we hope you feel the same!

January 14, 2022 057: Keeping a Journal
Submission Episode! This episode topic was sparked by the desire to record all the special memories and traditions of the holidays. Our kids grow so quickly and we want to be able to document each phase before it’s passed and we can’t recall the magical details. Keeping a journal feels like the habit many put on their goals every January but never make much progress… so we asked for your best journaling tips and favorite prompts. Hopefully this will be helpful for those of you hoping to be a more consistent journal writer this year!
