Seriously, you don't have to be cool. Being part of a group is our very nature, but at different seasons in life we try too hard to fit in - and it doesn't stop after high school. Often we sacrifice our preferences, our inclinations, our personality, and even our sense of right and wrong in order to fit in. But, what if we flipped the script? What if being authentically you is what drew people to you. What if your quirks are the very thing that make people go - I want to get to know them. Join us in this conversation all about fitting in and finding your authentic self.

Sending kids back to school is a whole emotional roller coaster that's sometimes more about the adults than it is about the kids. In this episode we are talking all about getting back into the routines and rhythms of the school year. We are sharing some ways you can help your child transition into this year, maybe start some new traditions or rhythms in your home, and how to stay tuned into what your kids are saying. Join us in this conversation all about back to school!

This week, Lee Ann and Matt sit down with licensed clinical counselor Emilie Kadlec to talk about finding yourself in the noise of life. Emilie specializes in walking people through life's biggest transitions—from job changes and grief to simple season shifts— in this episode, she offers guidance for navigating finding your way back to yourself.

We get into:

• How to tune into that still, small voice inside you when everything else is loud.
• The journey of rediscovering your desires and preferences.
• The steps you can take to start knowing who you really are again.

It's an honest and encouraging conversation about looking inward and reconnecting with your most authentic self.

At times in life we can settle in, but it often comes at sacrifice of hope: hope that things could get better or things could be different. So, what does it mean for us to settle for less, and how do we find true contentment? It's more than what's on the outside - it's a mindset shift. How do we remain content in where we are while also hoping for what could be? Join us in this conversation all about settling and contentment.

Our July Rewind series is all about highlighting some of our most downloaded episodes so you can catch it again, or listen to it for the first time. We had the best time chatting with Sharon McMahon - she's an author, a speaker, and America's Government Teacher. Sharon has a gift for giving us the facts of what's going on in the political arena, all while keeping us centered on the things that truly matter. We were honored to have Sharon on our podcast a few months before she launched her book, The Small And The Mighty. This is definitely one of our "must listen" episodes!
