GOODBYE SEASON 1!

Last week of being in my 20s... and we are wrapping it up with a girls yap sesh with Ale Speakman!

We talk about our experience parenting our young boys as eldest daughters, both coming from families of 2 girls. We also dive deep into the IVF process, particularly for same-sex couples and how Ale + her wife's experiences as first-time moms have been so far. With Cincinnati as her new home base, we touch on the importance of staying open to new friendship possibilities and creating your own "village" wherever you land. We talk about our individual journeys on accepting ourselves as who we are throughout our lives, which is such a major theme of The Life Audit Podcast!

Aside from moments of serious topics, we gossip, laugh, and reflect on our past as we find even more similarities than we originally thought!

I am so lucky Totality Sculpt brought Ale + her sweet family into our lives. Thanks for wrapping up season 1 with me ahhhh!

We kick things off light and fun with a lovely mystery guest before diving into the heavy reality of anxiety, burnout, and the relentless stress of being a working mom. Is work-life balance even real, or is it a myth we chase until the years with our young kids have already flown by?

In this episode, we unpack the questions we all ask ourselves: Am I working too much? Do I need to push harder, or do I just lack healthy boundaries? Why does my body give out right when I need it most?

We are stripping away the "perfect" filter to discuss the messy reality of being a high-achieving, perfectionist eldest daughter. We hate to disappoint—but what if stepping away isn't a failure? What if it's just misalignment?

Join me as I reminisce on the moments I pushed through physical and mental pain just to feel worthy. I thought I had it all figured out, but this week proved I still have a lot to learn. Let’s officially write off the pressure together, reset, and tap back into gratitude. Plus, the countdown is on—only three weeks until I turn 30!
