Weekly Wrap-Up with Olivia and Jenny: He’s 11 and Just Taught Us All a Lesson – “Rest Is Doing Something”


Listen Later

Some weeks are about productivity. Others are about survival. And then there are the ones like this—where the beauty lies in the whimsy, the detours, and the quiet wisdom that sneaks in while you’re painting miniature wallpaper or waiting for a thunderstorm to pass. In this heartwarming episode of Weekly Wrap-Up, Olivia and Genevieve are joined by a very special guest: Weston, Olivia’s oldest son, who brings both sparkle and soul to the mic for his podcast debut.

The trio dives into the unexpected joys of potion-making, haircuts that feel like declarations of self-worth, and the sacred silliness of summer break. From shopping trips and shadow boxes to missed summer camp days and viral Instagram roundups, the episode offers a tender, funny, and deeply relatable portrait of what it means to live creatively and intentionally—even when the week doesn’t go as planned. And in between the laughter and tangents, there's powerful reflection on rest, love after divorce, and learning to find joy in small, magical corners of life.

As always, the conversation closes with “weekly wisdoms”—this time from all three voices. Weston reminds us that rest is doing something. Genevieve reflects on the power of whimsy in serious times. And Olivia offers a quiet but stirring reminder that single moms can still believe in love stories. It’s an episode full of honesty, heart, and hope—and one you’ll want to revisit the next time you need permission to pause.
