What a crazy few weeks it has been!! It’s easy to feel overwhelmed with life; like you are never doing enough/ could always be doing more, and constantly moving that you forget to enjoy it. In episode 43, I recap some recent life updates. From my first brand trip to Cabo, to my fitness & Uvalde events, how I tried to buy a house, and upcoming FOW events, I share what I’ve been up to and my plans for the summer!

Today’s episode is about my more recent journey of discovering my faith! As someone who didn’t grow up very religious, I never felt a true connection until I prayed for the first time in a moment of uncertainty and sadness last September. I share a few instances where “coincidences” felt less like chance and more like someone or something intentionally placed in my life. I also share my experience going to church for the first time as an adult & how friendships have helped lead me closer to God. :)

Join me & my mom for a fun episode chatting about her marriage with my dad, her many jobs throughout the years, and our family!

My "mommy" (don't judge me lol) was a stay at home mom while raising 3 daughters and decided to go back to school to be a teacher once we were teenagers. She shares the difficulties of being a teacher during covid and how mentally draining education can be + her advice for any young teachers. This is my new favorite episode, so special!! <3

Tiktok, boyfriends, friends & ADHD with Taryn Lamb

It’s time to talk about making friends as adults, but more importantly how hard it is to keep them! I’ll share stories of how my personal friendships have evolved over time through life changes such as engagements, weddings, moving, and pregnancy and how I’ve been able to maintain friendships (while cutting some off along the way). 

Keeping Friends Is Harder Than Making Them
