October 14, 2019 Eps: 45 - Emily Arrow Discusses Children's Books, Mindfulness + Productivity!
Music + Books = Perfection!
In this episode of Rainy Day Dairies, I have Emily Arrow as my guest. She's an award winning musician, a productivity junkie, and a children's book author. But my favorite thing of all is that she writes songs all about children's books! Emily creates music and books for young people. With her ukulele named Bow in hand, Emily’s mindful approach fosters a love for the arts at home and in the classroom!
In this episode we discuss our favorite planners, Peter Reynolds' amazing book, The Dot, and how music can change a kiddo's life! We also gush about our ukulele journeys.
I've been a fan of Emily Arrow for quite some time! She is just as joyful "IRL" aka video chat as she is on Instagram! I hope you enjoy this week's episode!

September 30, 2019 Eps. 43 - Lets Talk about Infertility!! (with Kristin Hinrichs!!)
On this episode of Rainy Day Diaries, we're talking about INFERTILITY!
Infertility (like mental wellness) is one of those topics that seem taboo to talk about. So today we're here to change that!! My guest, Kristin Hinrichs and I are going to openly talk about her journey with infertility. And about all the different paths she’s taken on her journey towards becoming a mom.
12% of women (and men!) in the US are dealing with infertility right now, which means that you most likely know quite a few women around you who have dealt with a fertility journey.
And I bet most of those people are lonely and need a hug, so hopefully after you listen to this episode, you will go hug them!!
Head to the show notes (jenipherlyn.com/blog/43) to see more photos from Kristin's journey + some really AWESOME ones of us in our younger years. :)

I've been trying to get Camilo on the podcast for over a year now, and we thought our SIXTH wedding anniversary would be the perfect time! (That's a lie... HE thought this would be the perfect anniversary gift! lol) Enjoy our playful banter, and a cameo by Oliver at the end.

This episode of Rainy Day Diaries is a JOY! I will be honest and say I had a few crappy work days, but decided to edit Mati's episode while I worked and INSTANTLY felt better. She's just delightful!
We cover such an array of topics in this episode such as when it's a "right" time to take meds for your horrible anxiety, how she started a painting career in her 30's and now travels around the world to lead workshops! (someone PLEASE go to Morocco for me in November!)
We also talk about copyright infringement, learning new skills (let's all make JAM!) & licensing your artwork.
Make sure to stay tuned till the end to hear us talk about how LIBERATING opening up about mental health and anxiety is!!!!
Make sure to head to the show notes to read about all the other topics we discuss! It's a doozy! www.jenipherlyn.com/blog/41

September 09, 2019 Eps. 40 - Pelicans helped me have a baby! aka: My Birth Story!
In this episode of Rainy Day Diaries, I share openly about my pregnancy and birth story. I share about HOW BAD my anxiety was, how mean other mothers can be, and the most important part.... that there is NO “one” birth or pregnancy story, EVER!!! And that's okay. If yours doesn't look or feel like what you see in movies or television, that's okay!! We are all different and our bodies are different. AND if you're feeling incredibly ANXIOUS about the thoughts of even being a parent or if you're cut our for this, that's okay too! I was right there with you!!
Also... learn about WHY Pelicans helped me give birth! Hooray!

September 02, 2019 Eps. 39 - Todd Parr. His UNIQUE way into Children's Lit, & how naivety is a blessing!
Todd Parr is an award-winning Children's Book Author (and illustrator!) He has authored more than 50 books for kids that have been translated into 15 languages! Four of which were published just this year! (which in book land, is just CRAZY PANTS unheard of!)
Many of his books are about hard situations like losing a loved one, feeling different & why being unique is awesome. Which is obviously up my alley!
I was super stoked to have Todd on the podcast. We talk about how he got started in this crazy book journey, why we need kindness in this world, & how not knowing what you're doing can help you get to where you want to go!
If you're an aspiring children's illustrator, this episode will inspire you by the serendipitous way Todd started his career. From books to working with incredible brands like FAO Schwartz & Sesame Street! (ahh!) Even if you're not an illustrator, you'll love Todd's exuberant spirit!
Mentionables:
- Dealing with Dyslexia.
- Going outside the box.
- Dealing with people who don't understand you.
- Seredipity.
Head to www.jenipherlyn.com/blog/39 to read the show notes, and see Todd's amazing FAO Schwartz windows! Eep! And be sure to pop in on Instagram to say hello! www.instagram.com/rainydaydiariespod

August 12, 2019 Eps. 36 - Get out of that Box!!
It's so easy to feel STUCK inside the boxes (or labels) that were given to us at various times in life. Were you called the shy one? Or the academic one? The loud stubborn one?
In this episode of Rainy Day Diaries, I discuss how it's so easy to put ourselves in a box and why we need to shed these labels!
