Really Very Crunchy with Emily Morrow (EP323)
Tuesday, March 5, 2024 • Duration 37:30
I'm not the 'crunchiest' person but I aspire to add more of a 'crunchy' touch to my life so I was thrilled to speak with Emily Morrow, creator of the hilarious Instagram account, Really Very Crunchy. Emily has garnered over two billion views and over two million followers in two years with comedy sketches about the stereotypical “crunchy” moms. Her mission? To relieve pressure from being the perfect mom and bring lightheartedness to the serious issue of toxic products, and well, people. In today's conversation we discuss: simple swaps for a crunchier lifestyle, financial considerations, balancing crunchy choices with non-crunchy ones, navigating family relationships as crunchy moms, and more...

Beyond the Baby Years: Clearing the (Heavy) Clutter with Alissa Henry (EP322)
Tuesday, February 27, 2024 • Duration 24:01
The set up of today’s conversation is slightly different than previous episodes. Alissa has been a previous guest on the podcast so we just jumped right into our topic: the struggle of infertility and the emotional process of letting go of baby items. In our conversation, Alissa discusses the mindset shift from holding onto hope to embracing gratitude for what she already has. She also emphasizes the importance of not feeling alone in this journey and encourages listeners to consider decluttering as a positive step forward. Many of you have reached out asking how to declutter those items you just can’t let go of - specifically baby items - and my hope is that this conversation provides some answers for you - even if your only takeaway is more confidently knowing that you aren’t alone.

Monday, February 26, 2024 • Duration 35:54
A lot of my current listeners may have missed this previous episode with guest, Tanya Dalton (and even if you did hear the original, it’s a great one to re-listen to as you discover the joy of missing out in your own life!) This episode is full of reminders for how we can gracefully say "no" (and to use it as a full sentence), quick tips to establish more JOMO in our day-to-day and more...
This week, I speak with author, Tanya Dalton. Tanya Dalton is a productivity expert, writer, speaker and founder of inkWELL Press Productivity Co, a company centered around productivity tools and training.

"It might be ugly, but that closer look allows us to recognize and name our challenges, and that is the first step towards freedom."
Most of us struggle to admit we have limitations, let alone actually rejoicing in them; however, my guest today, author, Sara Hagerty has learned how to better recognize (and accept) her boundaries and limitations. In today's conversation, we explore how idealism, while often celebrated, can impede personal growth, fostering dissatisfaction and burnout. We also discuss how grieving the loss of certain expectations and embracing our limits can ultimately lead to greater contentment and peace.
