Hey there! In this episode, I chat with Lisa from Pretty Fabulous Designs about how moms can start a side hustle or even a full-time business creating and selling planners, printables, and other digital products. Lisa shares her journey as a self-taught graphic designer and gives us the lowdown on how anyone can get into this creative field, regardless of their background.

We dive into the nitty-gritty of getting started, from using tools like Canva to coming up with unique ideas that solve real problems for parents. Lisa dishes out some great tips on designing products, creating sales pages, and even touches on the importance of choosing the right platform to sell your creations.

We also talk about the potential income you can earn from this kind of business and why niching down (especially in the parenting space) can be a game-changer. If you're a mom looking for a flexible way to earn some extra cash or build a full-fledged business, this episode is packed with practical advice and inspiration. Don't miss Lisa's insights on where to find her for more in-depth guidance on getting started in this exciting field!

Hey there! In this episode, I sit down with Tina Haupert from Carrots and Cake to dive into the often-overlooked topic of perimenopause. We chat about what perimenopause actually is, the different stages you might experience, and how it can affect everything from your mood to your weight. Tina shares her personal journey and how it led her to become an expert in this field.

We get real about the challenges of this transitional phase - like those annoying night sweats and unpredictable periods - and discuss practical tips for navigating it all. Tina drops some knowledge on the importance of building muscle, managing stress, and paying attention to those often-neglected minerals in our diets.

If you've been feeling a bit off lately and you're in your 30s or 40s, this episode might just shed some light on what's going on with your body. We keep it casual and fun, because let's face it, talking about hormones doesn't have to be a snooze fest! So grab a cup of coffee (or maybe some mineral-rich coconut water) and join us for this chat about embracing this wild ride of womanhood.

Hope you enjoyed this episode!

In this episode, I chat with Dayna Abraham, founder of Calm the Chaos Parenting, about the all-too-real struggle of mom burnout. Dayna shares her personal journey from being a teacher to a mom dealing with her own child's challenges in school, which led her to start documenting her experiences online. We dive into what mom burnout really looks like, how it affects both parents and kids, and some practical ways to manage it.

Dayna offers some great insights on creating sustainable self-care practices, the importance of being open with your kids about your struggles, and how to work with your partner to lighten the load. We talk about outsourcing tasks when possible, simplifying routines, and giving ourselves permission to let some things go. 

One of my favorite takeaways is Dayna's "parking lot" concept for worries - a way to acknowledge our concerns without letting them consume us daily. Whether you're in the thick of burnout or just feeling the pressure of mom life, this conversation is full of relatable moments and actionable advice to help you find some calm in the chaos.

In this episode, I sit down with therapist and author Caitlin Sigouin to tackle the heavy but important topic of helping children understand and cope with death. As a mom who recently lost my grandma and previously lost my dad, I share my own experiences navigating grief with my kids. Caitlin offers fantastic insights on how children process loss differently than adults, and gives practical tips for talking to kids about death in an age-appropriate way. 

We chat about using everyday moments in nature to introduce the concept, recommend some great children's books on the topic, and discuss how to balance your own grief as a parent while supporting your child. Caitlin also shares a sneak peek of her upcoming children's book "A Rainbow of Feelings" which aims to help kids express all their emotions.

This conversation gets real about a tough subject, but Caitlin's expertise and compassion make it super approachable. Whether you're dealing with a loss or just want to be prepared, you'll come away with helpful strategies for having these important talks with your little ones. Tune in for an honest, casual chat about an topic we all face eventually as parents.

Hope you enjoyed this episode!

We dish about those awkward moments when your family forgets you can't just drop everything for an all-day boat ride anymore, and how to navigate those tricky situations without losing your cool (or your mind!). We share our personal experiences of feeling torn between different family groups, trying to keep nap schedules intact, and the guilt of missing out on the fun stuff.

We also talk about how important it is to speak up about what you need on vacation, even if it feels weird. No one's a mind reader, right? We get into the nitty-gritty of planning trips with big groups, dealing with different ideas of what makes a "fun" vacation, and how to handle those inevitable bumps in the road.

So if you've ever felt like you needed a vacation from your vacation, or you're dreading that upcoming family trip, give this episode a listen.

Hey everyone! It's Jessica from She's Got It Together. In this episode, my sister and co-host Samantha and I have a special guest, Blaire Brown, joining us to talk about the joys and adventures of being an aunt. As Blaire shares her experiences with her niece and nephew, we dive into the special bond between aunts and their siblings' kids. From impromptu hangouts and sleepovers to being the trusted confidant for those silly (and sometimes not-so-silly) questions, we explore what makes the aunt-niece/nephew relationship so unique and heartwarming.

We also touch on how being an aunt can give you a glimpse into motherhood and how it might influence your decision to have kids of your own. Blaire opens up about her own journey and how she's embracing her role as an aunt while focusing on her career and waiting for the right person to come along.

This episode is a fun, chatty celebration of the special role aunts play in the lives of their nieces and nephews. So, whether you're a proud aunt, an expecting aunt-to-be, or simply curious about this beautiful family dynamic, join us for a delightful conversation that'll make you laugh, reminisce, and appreciate the incredible aunts in your life!

Hey there! It's Samantha, and today I'm super excited to share with you my chat with Andrea Caprio, a real-life superwoman who's not only a Master Certified Transformational Nutrition Coach but also a mom of two amazing adult kids. Andrea's on a mission to help women like you and me break free from the vicious cycle of emotional eating and self-sabotage.

We dive into the importance of tiny habits, celebrating wins (no matter how small!), and reframing negative thoughts to help you ditch the guilt and start living life on your own terms.

As moms, we often put ourselves last, but Andrea reminds us that self-care isn't selfish – it's essential for being the best version of ourselves for our families. So, whether you're a mom or not, if you've ever found yourself reaching for that pint of ice cream after a stressful day, this episode is for you. Get ready for some real talk, practical tips, and a whole lot of laughs as we explore how to create a healthier, happier relationship with food and ourselves.
