  • 277. A Spontaneous Girls' Sleepover (And It Was Exactly What I Needed)

    Last Friday started with happy hour, sushi, and a fun trip to a new hat bar with friends. It ended with me unexpectedly spending the night at my friend's house, staying up until 1:30 a.m. laughing, talking, watching TV, and snuggling with dogs.

    In this episode, I'm sharing why this spontaneous night reminded me how important friendship, connection, and a little bit of unplanned fun can be in the middle of our busy lives.

  • 269. Learning to Slow Down Without Guilt

    This weekend in Port O’Connor looked very different for me and it was exactly what I needed. I didn’t make a plan, I didn’t stress and I didn’t try to be productive. I read, took a nap, and just went with the flow. In this episode, I’m sharing what it felt like to slow down without guilt and why doing “less” might actually be what your heart needs most.
