WARNING: Today’s episode of THRIVE may inspire a decluttering, cleaning, and/or organizing spree! It’s been a long time coming to get my girlfriend Kallie on THRIVE, but this episode was well worth the wait. Kallie is a decluttering QUEEN and has loads of realistic tips and tricks up her sleeve to make REAL impact in getting and KEEPING a tidier, more organized space. If you’re already sitting there thinking “But I have kids! And pets! A small house!” no worries - Kallie is best known for her relatable advice, so if your home looks like people, you know, LIVE there and not like the inside of a home decor magazine from your Instagram feed - you’re in the right place. Today you’ll take away tips for tidying up fast, decluttering efficiently, and organizing without buying out the Container Store. You’ll also learn a few ways to get your kids involved and mistakes to stop making to instantly look tidier and feel better.

Whether you’ve been sober-curious for a while or never even considered taking a break from booze, today’s episode is for you. Karolina Rzadkowolska is a speaker, podcaster, and the author of Euphoric: Ditch Alcohol and Gain a Happier More Confident You, and she’s got a completely jam-packed, informative episode ahead that will probably blow your mind (in the best sense). Today on THRIVE, she breaks down what alcohol - in any amount - actually *does* to our bodies and brains, as well as what you can realistically expect from a break. She gives the full lowdown on WHY to consider a break, even if you don’t have “a problem” with alcohol (and why she’s personally alcohol-free after years of being “a drinker”). And beyond that, she gives helpful tricks and tools for managing the social side of it all - how to still have fun (loads of it!), feel confident (even moreso!), and literally live out your wildest, biggest dreams sans booze.

This is the one we’ve alllll been waiting for…it’s time to talk pelvic floor therapy. Erica has been in pelvic floor therapy on and off for over a year now, since around her second trimester of pregnancy with Jonah, and it has truly changed her life. One of those things you want to shout from the rooftops so every woman can know - no gatekeeping here, girlfriends! Knowledge is power, and you need to know these things about your own body. This isn’t just kegels and pee pads, ladies - it can mean less leakage, pain-free intercourse, better workouts, less back and/or neck pain…the list goes on! Your pelvic floor does a LOT, and Erica’s own therapist is joining her on THRIVE today to talk ALL about it. Nothing is off limits, your questions are answered, and they *go there* to help a sista out. Listen up!

Post-conversation addition from Kara: Multiple randomized clinical trials have demonstrated that perineal massage (from 34 weeks gestation until delivery) decreased the risk of an episiotomy and perineal tears, particularly 3rd and 4th degree tears. Perineal massage has also been associated with reduced second stage of labor, decreased incidence of anal incontinence, and less perineal pain postpartum.

Does budgeting feel like a dirty word to you? Or, maybe just…boring? Uncomfy? Generally UN-fun? The Russells are here to help! Sarah (from Team THRIVE!) is hopping *behind* the mic today with her husband, Ryan, to share the practical tips they use in their everyday life to make budgeting easier than ever before…and yes, actually FUN. They went from being newlyweds making about $20,000 all year TOGETHER to thriving as a family of four with dreams and goals - so yes, it’s possible! No matter where you’re at income-wise, Sarah and Ryan are sharing how + why to make budgeting happen. They break down their practical 3-prong approach, how to talk dollars as a couple, and some of their favorite resources + tools to both make budgeting easier AND family-friendly at age-appropriate levels, too (without letting any past “junk” from your own past money mindset in the picture).

This one’s for the go-getter girls. Are you one of them? You’re a high achieving, big dreaming, goal setting, coffee drinking gal who’s maybe also Type A, maybe an Enneagram 3, maybe an oldest sibling…maybe a recovering perfectionist and/or retired “girlboss.” Rebecca George is our guest today, here to remind YOU of your God-given gifts…and how to reframe your mindset and recenter your efforts to do the thing that YOU were made to do. We talk about goal setting, but more specifically and intentionally, about what GOSPEL-centered goal-setting looks like, to link arms with the Lord to do not just what’s on *your* to-do list, but what’s on His for your life. If you’ve been discerning your next steps or what your “bigger picture” might be, or if you’ve felt “stuck” or unsure what to do, press play and lean in.

Podcaster, speaker, author and Enneagram coach Ainsley Britain is here to break down the “boo-boo dudes” - the always-unideal, sometimes-toxic, never-Mr.Rights who leave you feeling more confused, isolated, and ultimately less loved than you deserve. So…what DO you deserve? And how can you go about dating - especially in this century - in a godly, gospel-centered way? Ainsley is here to help. In this episode, we talk about what IS “toxic” in a relationship, and how to know whether you should give him another chance (because nobody’s perfect) or say goodbye for good. We also talk red flags, standards - what yours should be - and how to gracefully exit stage left if/when you realize you’re in a futureless relationship while honestly assessing your own growth and role, too.
