The Granny gang calls in and writes in to share their experiences and insights about all things perimenopause and menopause symptoms. Of course, this episode also includes Christina's insights into all things lack of research and funding for women's health and of course... a segment on wild mammals, specifically whales- because they too go through menopause!

My new favorite journaling practice takes less than 2 minutes each day- it's sustainable, enjoyable, and gives us the opportunity to reflect on our life 5 years at a time. But also, who doesn't love a new pen and new journal?

December has a way of revealing what we've been carrying all year- in our homes, our minds, and in our bodies. If everything feels a little too full right now, this episode offers a gentle way to approach an end-of-year reset.

Inside the episode, we talk about:

• why clutter feels heavier in December

• how your home impacts your capacity & decision fatigue

• why winter is the ideal season for small, grounding resets

• how to declutter without pressure or perfection

• simple questions to guide what stays and what goes

A calmer year begins with a calmer December.

A personal episode where I share the non-traditional but super fun way that we announced our pregnancy to my immediate family even while keeping my pregnancy under wraps from everyone else!

Find yourself wondering how to navigate social media as a small business owner during these (never ending) 'unprecedented' political times? Take it from me, the retired 'run your mouth on the internet about politics' girlie- there are other ways. Tune into this episode to hear other ways to build a values-led small business without getting dragged into social media drama or destroying your peace.

Whether you experience the winter blues or not, there is a biological shift that happens once we begin to lose sunlight for the winter time. In this episode, I cover the things that have helped me the most in order to (almost) enjoy winter and (almost) not feel 'seasonally depressed' anymore (although I'm anxious about my first winter with a baby) including perspectives and mindset shifts, to things to begin incorporating into your daily routine, along with never, and I mean never, turning on the big overhead lights at home ;)

Many of my clients price their services from a place of fear, apology, and comfort. While I want you to be comfortable with your prices, I don't want you to play small. An important shift can happen for you in your business once you start viewing profit as a form of self respect and how, if your prices are too low for too long, this can be the exact thing that's eroding your confidence. Tune in to hear more!

We always hear (and I always say) "set yourself up for success"- but what about setting yourself up for ease? Luxury? In today's episode, we'll explore future favors for yourself that are less about productivity and success and more about treating yourself like someone who matters.

Hannah and Christina are back to talk about all things fall decor, Halloween, and of course- discussing Taylor Swift's new album, The Life of a Showgirl.
