Gratitude isn’t just about thanking others or appreciating the good moments—it’s about recognizing our own resilience, growth, and worth. But what happens when gratitude feels hard?

In this deeply emotional episode, we dive into the real and raw side of gratitude, especially when it doesn’t come easily. Kim opens up about why she struggled with gratitude on her recent birthday and how she finally allowed herself to receive it. We explore the importance of self-gratitude, why we often resist it, and how learning to thank ourselves can transform our mindset, relationships, and overall well-being.

We also share powerful tools to help cultivate gratitude in a meaningful way, including:

- Using mala beads and mantras to anchor gratitude

- Breath work techniques to bring presence and appreciation

- Journaling prompts to shift your perspective

- The role of pride in self-growth and why it’s not a bad thing

This episode is raw, personal, and packed with practical ways to make gratitude a daily habit—starting with you.

Listen now and join us in the journey of practicing deeper, more intentional gratitude.

This week, we’re keeping it real—because parenting isn’t always sunshine and finger paintings. Sometimes it’s sick kids, sleepless nights, and schedules so chaotic you’re not sure if you’re coming or going. In this episode, we dive into one of those weeks: Jeff’s new job, Kim’s holiday hours, and a sick little girl who needed all the cuddles (and tissues).

We share the struggles, the small wins, and the moments that tested our patience and teamwork. Plus, we give you 5 practical tips to help you bring out the best in yourself while raising some pretty incredible kids. Spoiler: It involves self-care, communication, and learning to laugh at the madness.

So, grab a coffee (or two) and join us as we remind you that it’s okay to not have it all together. Because parenting is messy, exhausting, and beautiful—and you’re doing better than you think.

Warning: May contain references to hiding in the bathroom for a break and consuming cold coffee.

Have you ever felt stuck, like you’re living inside this invisible box that keeps you from being who you really want to be? Yeah, us too. In this episode, we’re talking about the self-limiting beliefs that trap us—the fears, doubts, and stories we tell ourselves that hold us back from reaching our potential.

We’ll dig into where these beliefs come from, how they’ve shaped our lives, and, more importantly, how we can break free. Along the way, we’ll share some raw and personal stories about the boxes we’ve built and the leaps we’ve taken to break them. We’ll even ask each other some hard, honest questions that push us to reflect and go deeper.

This one’s for anyone who’s tired of feeling stuck and ready to rewrite their story. It’s real, it’s messy, and it’s exactly the kind of conversation we all need. Grab a drink, get comfy, and let’s figure this out together.

Let’s talk about boundaries—those magical little lines that keep your sanity intact and your relationships thriving (or at least surviving). In this episode, we’re diving into why boundaries are the unsung heroes of life. From saying “no” without feeling like a jerk, to teaching your kids that “Mom and Dad are not human vending machines,” we’re covering it all.

We’ll chat about setting limits in relationships, wrangling work-life balance, and dealing with that one friend who always asks for “just a little favor.” Plus, we’ll share some of our own wins (and fails) when it comes to boundaries—because trust us, we’ve been there.

So, grab your headphones and get ready to laugh, nod along, and maybe even take notes. Boundaries aren’t just for fences, folks—they’re for your sanity, too!

In this episode, we dive into the power of embracing change and the beauty of new beginnings. 

Whether it's a career shift, a big move, or launching this podcast, we share our personal journeys through the challenges, fears, and unexpected rewards that come with stepping into the unknown.

Together, we discuss the emotions that often accompany change—like doubt and excitement—and how fear, rather than being an obstacle, can actually be a catalyst for growth. Fear has an important role to play; it signals that we’re stepping beyond our comfort zones and moving toward something meaningful. By learning to navigate fear, we unlock the courage to push through barriers and reach new levels of self-discovery.

We’ll reflect on what it’s like to rediscover ourselves through new roles, let go of what's familiar, and intentionally adapt to make space for growth. Join us as we explore how these transformative experiences have strengthened our relationship and shaped us individually, and get ready to feel inspired to tackle your own next chapter with an open heart and mind.
