What is a Yes Day? If you have not seen the movie, you must watch it. It's a perfect Friday night, grab your family, your favorite dinner (maybe its Friday night, pizza night) kind of flick.

Yes Day starring Jennifer Garner (one of my favs) is full of laughs and much to honestly think about as a parent.

Why do we say no so much? Why do I feel some days that it is all that I am saying.

We surprised the kiddos with a Yes Day.

It was not as epic as it may have been in the movie, but it was epic for us and that is what matters.

Spoiler alert....the Yes Day was more for me, than them. I learned a lot of about myself and what I can do to be more present.

Listen to find out what we did, what I learned and how a Yes Day will be part of our daily ritual.

How can we say Yes so that it matters?

Have a question that I may answer or a future guest?

Email [email protected] with questions or topics to be featured in an upcoming episode. I look forward to connecting.

Meet Lauren te Velde, owner of Paper Farm Press, a stationary brand that combines her love of her faith and farming.

It started with her curiosity of using a letter press, and passion to create and cultivate community. Her curiosity has continued to move her forward, writing her story. 

Have you dreamed about starting a brand? What is holding you back? What is the worse that can happen?

Lauren encourages us to go on the journey of being vulnerable, and dive into our curiosity. The process will not always be easy, but your curiosity will allow you to get lost in pursing your dreams. We are given the gift to create; what if we do allow ourselves to thrive? 

Mom guilt? Lauren's powerful message will help you navigate through your own personal journey of mom guilt.  Both are good.

Check out Paper Farm Press and follow along as Lauren continues to  share her passion with us. Let's go on the journey together.

What a joy to connect with Michelle and you will feel the connection as well. Michelle shares her journey as she has overcome obstacles as she has continued to progress in her career in a male dominated industry.

We may get pushed down or have many people against us, but let's get right back up and show up.

Michelle knew she needed to earn the respect from her team members and through hard work and dedication she has done just that.  Michelle has immersed her self into her career. Michelle also shares what it took for her to feel successful as a mother, wife, and General Manager.

No script, no rehearsed questions, just us and our hearts opening up about our journey together this part year after I was diagnosed with postpartum depression and anxiety.

Part 1 is a self reflection of my journey. If you have not listened to part 1, no worries, you can listen to part 2 prior.

In this episode you will get a chance to meet my husband, my birb (another name for a cute bird), Russell.

This is our story, Russell's story of how watching me go through postpartum depression and anxiety made him feel, what he now knows that he did not know at the time, how he supported me and what he wishes he would have done differently.

This was a new season for both of us, and we got through it together. Was it always easy, not at all. 

You are not alone, and you can get help from your partner, family, friends and also seek a medical professional.

Our sweet Caroline was born one year ago. This is just one personal story. There are many stories. You are not alone. I hope to help the fight against any stigmas and for any one to know that there is a community of mothers. Don't hesitate to speak up and get help.

In this episode I share my journey this past year. A year ago I felt lost, alone,  confused of the symptoms, fear, scared...so much was going on while I was wanting to be able to do it all.  I did not feel myself. I know that it is not my fault. I gave birth, I gave life. I knew I just wanted to feel like me. 
 
I have learned so much and I hope you are touched and either this story helps your healing or how to help a friend or loved one.

Meet Nellie Freeborn, it was Nellie's mothers intuition that ultimately led to the official Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnoses when her daughter was 3 1/2, recently celebrating her 8th birthday. It was not a simple path to diagnoses, and she's had to adapt along the way, but most importantly she is not sorry, her daughter has taught the whole family so much.

Nellie had a lot of learning to do, and she has learned to be her daughters' advocate. Nellie has taught me so much.

Nellie shares her heart, her experience and how you can help.

Meet Jill Gearin, at the young age of 12 Jill knew that she wanted to be a play by play sports broadcaster. Fast forward and two years ago Jill became the 3rd women broadcaster in Minor League Baseball history for the Visalia Rawhide. This did not come without obstacles and thoughts of quitting that we discuss in this episode. 

Yes, there should be more! The glass ceiling may be broken, but it is not shattered. How can this change?  Jill uses her voice to be part of the change and mentors others to not give up on their dreams before they get started. 

Jill encourages us to be who we are, know who we are, never apologize and know that we do belong!

We can be part of the change, conversation, and empower each other.

Meet Kelsey Ormonde, Kelsey Lynn Design. Kelsey is full of life, courage, love and I don't want to forget to mention she creates  extraordinary and inspiring spaces, bringing joy to everyone.

Her passion for creating beautiful spaces started at a young age as she watched her mom and grandma.

As many of us have found ourselves imagining what can be this past year, Kelsey saw an opportunity. It did not come without some hesitation and fear. 

Kelsey surrounded herself with a support system that encouraged her to do it now, take that next step. Why wait?

Kelsey has turned her passion for creating beautiful spaces into a career. She is all in!

Kelsey asked herself, is this something to be afraid of or overcome and she literally smashed those fears! She has learned to trust the process and herself. It is one step at a time and you have to take that first step.

Life is beautiful. Take the next step to grow towards your dreams.

Meet Ginger Johnson, master human connector, TEDx speaker, and author, Connectivity Cannon, Why and How to Connect with People on Purpose with a Service Mindset.

This episode is full of energy. You will feel inspired, motivated, and will give you the confidence to look at connecting in a way that will provide you  with meaningful relationships to be your best with your personal and professional relationships.

Connecting is not networking (actually Ginger is strongly against that word) or a numbers game. Connecting is quality over quantity. Lets get rid of business card quotas.

Ginger believes connectivity = meeting people with the intent to create and develop meaningful relationships centered in service; magnetic pull; attractive; in person.

Ginger will ask you, Who are your 3am people? Who would pick you up at the airport at 3am?

Let's discover how to connect more confidently and with purpose.
