Out With the Old, In With the YOU! episodes

  • “From Prey to Predator” #93



    • With only two weeks left till we move, I begin this episode with gratitude for this special place we have called LOL! Haven, for the last 5 years. 

    • After 19 years, I have finally figured out how I want to spend every Mother’s Day.

    • Some people will not be friends for life and I have never really liked this fact. It is difficult to not take it personally when someone really likes you for years but suddenly finds you a threat when you take your freedom. 

    • Remembering my past is helping me have compassion and understanding for these people instead of hurt and frustration.

    • Release others to be where they are. Everyone gets to choose.

    • Use your energy for your life!

    • “You Should Be Glad That You’re Not Perfect!”  (for real😘) #92

      Update on our crazy last week and some slight lamenting on how I do not want to live a life where “crazy” is my normal. 🤪

      • Negative words/phrases I detest and would like to permanently remove from our language…such as 

        • “I’m not perfect” 

        • “Humans are flawed”

        • “Trial and Error”

        • “Mistakes and Failures”

          • I discuss how we love variation and it’s ridiculous to even think that our goal should be attaining some rigid structure. 

          • Perfection should not be our goal - Growth should be our goal!

          • What if our flaws were not flaws at all…

          • I believe that life is all about learning, not about succeeding to one specific goal. 

          • What might happen if we remove the negative messages in our culture and start replacing them with the idea that it’s all a part of the life learning process? Might we become less afraid and more curious???

          • "Is it possible that there are no bad parts in me?" #91

            Today I share about some of my recent struggles to understand myself and how I am learning to ask myself questions. Learning to figure out what I need and then make it priority to get my needs met is a new experience for me that's gonna take a lot of practice. ;)

            Here is the book I am reading right now:

            "You Are the One You've Been Waiting For" by Richard C. Schwartz, PhD

            I highly recommend this book!

            Dr. Schwartz also has another book that I want to read called "No Bad Parts".


            At the end of this episode I share my most recent song that I wrote that was inspired by the book I am reading. The horses came over while I was singing. It was some cool moments. Make sure you watch the end of this video to see the beautiful shared connections.

            “Truple Conversation!” #90

            Today I finally was able to coordinate a time that my partners could record an episode out in my corral with me!

            We chat about:

            • Our upcoming move and recent news on the house we want

            • Why  Jenna is so excited about it

            • Learning to rewire the way we think about life

            • Why I struggle with believing in myself

            • How our growth causes some others to be uncomfortable

            • The ingrained religious bullshit that is hard to undo

            • Nate’s thoughts on why he doesn’t see a need to attach meaning to everything that happens in life

              • The animals were very interactive at the beginning of this episode, including our adopted, free-range goat that tried to sample Nate’s coffee. LOL!

               

              Here is the link to listen to my interview with Christine Baird!

            • The Flu - The Update - and The Book That Blew My Mind Episode #89


              Finally back in the corral this week but still struggling to recover from one of the worst flu’s our family has ever gotten. 

              This week I discuss:

              • The flu I have unaffectionately named “the devil”

              • The stress of putting our house on the market and constantly having it ready to show while also battling fevers raging in our family

              • Finally getting an awesome offer on our house

              • The arduous, exhausting task of searching for a new home

              • Struggling to believe that there is another wonderful home just waiting for my family

              • Learning to let go of what I have now so I can receive the next new thing

              • The book I am reading now that is blowing my mind. You just need to get it and read it. It’s called, “The Jesus Mysteries - Was the “Original Jesus” a Pagan God?” by Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy

              • “TRAGIC NEWS” - #88

                Nothing can prepare you for tragedy.

                It is unpredictable, unstoppable, and disastrous.

                It knocks us off our feet.

                Stops us in our tracks.

                Forces us to face the naked truth that life is fragile and temporary.

                Allison Short will walk us through this conversation today.

                If you have not heard the interview with this incredible woman, go back to episode #79 “A Life of Adventure!” and listen to her story. You can click on the link below:

              • “My Brain is Better Than a Squirrel’s but My Resources Are Not” (the messy middle of selling and buying a house - #87)


                “No story is good without a struggle to triumph over.”

                Well, if that’s the case, then my story is getting better by the second. 🤣

                Join me today as I hide in my barn from the treacherous winds outside and talk about our recent challenges of getting our house on the market and beginning the search for a new home.

                Sometimes life is just the messy middle and the only thing we can do it continue showing up and believing the Universe will provide us with what we need. 

                It’s scary - as hell. 

                It’s frustrating.

                It’s exhausting.

                And it’s all part of this wild adventure we are on. 

                Join me as I process it all in real-time in hopes that it can encourage others who are in the middle of the struggle. 

                I got ya. 

                We got this.

              • "Onto the Next Adventure!" - a throuple chat about our upcoming move!

                This week my partners, Nate and Jennifer, join me to talk about some big changes in the making. Moving is one of the scariest things we do as humans but it can also be one of the best things for you if you are trying to rebuild your life.

                We discuss:

                - why each of us felt it was time to move

                - what is the thing we are most excited about and what part of it is hardest for us

                - I share the story of how Shiloh spoke to me and helped me see that it was time to move on

              • Old ponies-Wild horses-and Two tired and goofy ladies

                This week I enjoyed a lovely, laid-back check-in with my beautiful Jennifer!


                We discuss:

                - Jennifer's struggles with managing anxiety and learning to live life in a way that feels good to her instead of carrying everyone else's baggage.

                - My recent "trailer loading" story that ended in a bit of a disaster and had me discouraged. Jenna helps me process it a little bit which helped me not spiral into utter frustration.

                - We talk about why we love nonmonogamy, especially when it comes to running the household and not having to do it alone.

                I think you will enjoy this conversation that is filled with laughter and even a hysterical story of when I compared Jennifer to our old pony which did not at all come out how I was hoping it would. ;)

              • “Adding Spice To Life - One Brave Step at a Time” #84


                An inspiring conversation with my 15-year-old as she navigates public school for the first time

                Ever feel scared to death but you really want to do something?

                 Tanaya joins me today to share some of her experiences of high school and how she is learning to make her way in an area that is completely foreign to her. 

                Tanaya discusses:

                • How she first felt going to public school

                • Her determination to keep looking for a connection until she found it

                • How being brave helps her to add spice to what could be a very boring, dull school experience

                • How Tanaya showed up all the boys in a pull-up competition

                • You can’t assume someone isn’t worth becoming friends with just because they look disinterested on the outside

                • Sometimes you just have to bulldoze to claim your space 

                • Tanaya’s advice to high schoolers (which is great advice for ANYONE!)
